For one year, it really doesn't matter. We probably just about done with signings anyways. I'd rather give him $9 million this year than the other idea of $5 million this year and a big increase next year.

If there were ever a team that was set up to succeed no matter who the QB was, it was the Rams. Instead, they gave Goff the richest contract a QB had ever received and sacrificed their OL and are now contemplating sacrificing their WRs and RBs as well so that they can continue paying Goff. Being stuck in the middle of the QB world is the worst spot to be in because you end up paying for an elite QB without actually having one.

Or, and I'm just spit balling here, it could be due to them having Beasley (the worst of the 3) rated as the #36 WR in the league.

Based on what I thought pre-draft: Burrow Tua Allen Love Herbert I think I'd probably order them the same way if we're talking present-day Allen.

Really depends on what the other trios look like when the dust settles: Tampa: Evans, Godwin, ??? Cleveland: OBJ, Landry, ??? Kansas: Tyreek, Sammy, Hardman/rookie Dallas: Cooper, Gallup, ??? Atlanta: Julio, Ridley, ??? Arizona: Hopkins, Fitz, Kirk Rams: Kupp, Woods, Cooks Assuming they get a decent #3 option, I think Tampa, Cleveland, KC, and Arizona are probably better. We'll see if the Rams ultimately keep Cooks or not; if they do, they're better as well.

I'm fine with a short-term deal if he gets cut. Looks like the Rams are starting to feel the pain of giving Goff the contract they did.

I think he's probably too good to be an ideal backup for Allen. It's fine to be looking for an upgrade from Barkley, but we probably don't want a legitimate starter either.

Agreed. I just personally don't like this edge class all that much, but it's not my speciality either. Seems like the general consensus is that Anae, Okwara, and Weaver could be decent options there -shrugs-

I think we're pretty much in a position now where there's no huge need that we absolutely need to address. I think WR might be BPA but I feel like we probably won't go that direction. I think safety/CB is the most likely direction. If Dugger/Winfield/maybe Chinn are there at 54, I would guess they're the pick. I still like Amik Robertson as a fit for us a lot but Round 2 might be too high for him. RB could also be BPA but I would probably pass unless one of the top 4 is there (Swift, Taylor, CEH, Dobbins).

I'll believe they're tanking when it happens, but FWIW, a friend of mine in Boston is saying there's a lot of buzz that Gilmore is available and if they can move him for a 1st, demolition will commence.

I think you have to take the Bucs, at least until we know what the Patriots are going to look like next season. They still have a path to being good but it's obviously much more difficult now. The Bucs will likely be a powerhouse on paper at least. We'll see how it all comes together but I would tend to think they should be a double-digit win team this season.

They have roughly $30 million in cap space and I’m not sure AB would cost much even if space was limited. He’ll be lucky to find a job at all.

I wouldn't touch him with their 1st pick personally. I think they either move up for Tua or wait to see who's available in the 2nd round/late 1st.

I wouldn't assume that New England is interested in Dalton.

As official as any of the moves that occur in the tampering window, yeah.

So much for all the people out there that thought we could get Foles & a 2nd round pick for free lol

Certainly don't think it's Super Bowl or bust but that's obviously the hope. I'll gladly take a playoff victory and or a playoff home game.

Mariota is the backup now instead of Peterman

Still a lot of time for things to change. My guess would be one of Jacksonville, Washington, NYG, and Atlanta.

Bucs media reporting they will almost certainly not pursue Antonio Brown.

Might be a dumb question, but is his plan to fly from Tampa back to NY every week?

Wow Tampa currently has the 5th highest Super Bowl odds in Vegas

I'm not saying the Bucs are going to be great by any means, but there's definitely a lot of talent there. The reason Winston was under duress was because Arians' offense takes a long time for plays to develop. Depending on whose opinion you value, they ranged anywhere from like 7th-17th best pass blocking team in the league last year and it should be better this upcoming season assuming they actually take one of the tackles. Basically every position group on the team played well last year with the exception of the RBs, K, safeties and the extremely uneven play of Jameis. I think the major question if Brady signs there is how smooth the transition is offensively. It's not a guarantee that it all clicks into place just because he'd have great pieces around him; those pieces were playing a likely very different style than what will be required with Brady. The other major question is how much of the defensive play was a fluke or not.

Their C and guards were among the best in the league last year and they'll likely be taking one of the stud tackles with their 1st round pick.
