Who’s going to start the Illegal Tampering news thread? 49ers and Bengals will likely get more comp picks out of it. Pats* will get an obligatory pick too.

That’s why they need to target WR in the draft. Plus, they have the chance to find a real WR1/2 there, whereas Gabe’s ceiling is more WR2/3.

Maybe less money for Titans to sign Simmons now?

Tennessee with the gamble!

Bring him home! 😂

Think he cost ATL like $2.5M last year, can’t imagine him making anymore than that now. Need to round out the WR room, fair signing if he’s our WR4/5/6 versus what we had paid guys like Sherfield and Harty.

Thinking a Half Dollar at least

Man, $19M seems steep for what we’re getting from Rousseau. I know we have a bunch of needs entering the draft, seems like EDGE is right up there with WR and DT. More reason to land a stopgap FS in FA, so we can focus on these positions in the first 4 rounds of the draft.

I’m envisioning Josh throwing bombs to this guy:

Word is that Beane is hanging out w House these days, trying to scrounge up enough money for an ash tray.

It’s that time again, Brandon:

Dolphins gonna Dolphin!

He looks bigger than Bernard to me. McD’s D seems to call for LBs that are on the smaller side but good coverage skills.

Prob in addition to, since it was after DaQuan’s signing and a lot less money. Beane looking to add DT depth.

He’s got to be better than AJ Klein, right?

Is today a day where the Bills announce their FA signings this evening, after working the phones all day?

Would have liked him, but not at that price. Time to target someone like Dillon at a more palatable price.

If Beane doesn’t surprise us by landing Henry, would love AJ Dillon on this squad instead.

I’m curious what Michael Thomas’ market is. Don’t think the Bills are going to find too impactful of a WR in FA, but I’d take a flier on him.

Beane right now:

Thing is, to trade for Higgins or Jefferson, Bills are likely giving up their 1st or more, right? And then they have to make the cap work as well, while also paying Diggs a ton at WR too and filling out the rest of the roster. Do you want to give the Bengals another 1st round pick, so they can load up on cheaper, younger WRs, while we try to figure out how to eat the cost of Tee Higgins? And even if we can figure all of that out, are the Bengals going to want Higgins in our hands? At some point, we need to land some stud WRs in the draft ourselves, versus eat the cost of veteran WRs who will already be a step slower than talent right out of college.

Do you have specific WR targets you are hoping they land? Not sure I’m willing to pay any of the FAs, versus draft WRs that are younger, cheaper, faster, and more potential upside.

Sign Justin Simmons, then Derrick Henry or AJ Dillon, and I’m ecstatic. All the moves made so far have been in-house. Beane’s got to have a couple external targets too.
