The thing that makes me feel like this is a good thing for the Jets is that the aforementioned 39 year old QB went on a "darkness retreat" to help him decide if he wanted to play football again. Everyone knows that going on a "darkness retreat" is a very powerful experience that can help a person make major life decisions. Granted, its not as powerful as rubbing crystals on your nipples or wearing Copper Socks, but it is still powerful none the less.

The Bills are paying a total of $12mm this year for the best safety duo in the NFL and your take on that is negative? Wow. Next year the cap hit for those two is $7mm. Is that too much as well? Sling and miss for strike one for Back2Buff....

My best season was 2016 with Dak??? Check the tape? 2016; Games played; 16 Targets; 98 Receptions; 75 Yards; 833 TD; 5 Comp %; 76.5 2020; Games played; 15 Targets; 107 Receptions; 82 Yards; 967 TD; 4 Comp %; 76.6 I just checked the tape Cole, and you're wrong. I supported him with his vaccination stance. Now he is just being a jerk.

Hey Era, I just don't think he's a good fit for our offense. Henry is an old school back who needs 20+ carries a game to find his grove. I don't think Dorsey wants to invest that much of the offense in running plays, and he probably shouldn't as long as we have a healthy Josh. 🍻

Henry's current contract has a cap hit of $16mm this year. I don't see how that works for us. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/derrick-henry-18994/

Hey Doc, I'm not sure how deep the field is for big backs this year. I'm not a draftnik kind of guy. I imagine there will be some to chose from late in the draft. It seems that RB is the one position where it's easy to find a stud in the later rounds. Beane may want to keep his limited free agency resources for other positions. We'll see. 🍻

I think the best bet is to draft one. Find some 230lb back on day three of the draft from a smaller FBS program who has shown an ability to pass protect and not fumble and bring him in on a cheap contract. Supposedly there's not much of a learning curve for RBs going from college to the pros. He'll likely be the change of pace back, short yardage back and should be able to contribute right away. On the cheap.

https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/teams/buffalo-bills Beane looking to add "heavier, power style running back." Makes sense with only shifty pass catching backs on the roster. Doesn't bode well for bringing Singletary back. D'onta Foreman? Damien Harris? Zeke Elliott? Pool is getting shallow at this point. Draft one? Not going to be D'onta Foreman... going to the Bears, 1 year, $3mm. https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/8072/donta-foreman

Schoen and Daboll continue to build around Daniel Jones in New Jersey with Waller and now Campbell. They'll join Isaiah Hodgins, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Sterling Sheperd. https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/51532/parris-campbell Takes out notebook, crosses off Parris Campbell...

Play nice.

Only when Beane does it.

Looks like the Chiefs have their eye on someone. Adding this $9.6mm in cap space to Spotrac estimates means the Chiefs now have about $17mm in cap space. https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/teams/kansas-city-chiefs https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/cap/

LAMAR JACKSONQB, BALTIMORE RAVENS ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Ravens have been "involved in the free agent quarterback market." "The Ravens, who face uncertainty around Lamar Jackson's future, have been involved in the free agent quarterback market," was Fowler's exact report. "(They have looked) into options such as Baker Mayfield and Jacoby Brissett before they signed with Tampa and Washington, per league sources. Baltimore appears to be looking for flexibility." That's a spicy meatball, though it's still not a sign in and of itself they expect to be without Jackson for 2023. They could just be looking for a more reliable backup after Tyler Huntley took a major step back in 2022. It is still intriguing with Jackson and the Ravens clearly at contract loggerheads. https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/710/lamar-jackson At some point Lamar is going to force the Raven's hand. Wasn't the last offer $44mm a year for three years fully guaranteed? That's a legit offer from the Ravens. If Lamar won't agree to a market value contract the Ravens are going to have to start looking at other long term options.

I agree. The Jets bringing in Rodgers is essentially a rental that is going to cost them gobs of money and draft capital. It is the ultimate win now move by a GM and coach desperate to save their jobs.

Rodgers is an attention seeking diva. I'm not sure what would be worse for the Jets; Rodgers actually going there with his toxicity (can't wait to see the NY media crawl up his a** after his first bad game) OR Rodgers going back to GB and screwing the Jets by effectively keeping them out of free agency waiting for him to make up his mind.

I've said it repeatedly, the Dolphins are just a David Long away from a Championship!

Really miss Yolo this time of year. He is Schefter's main source. And mine.

Henry needs 20+ rushes a game to get in gear. I don't think we want to make that big of a commitment to the running game with JA17 on the field. I'm a big Derrick Henry fan but I don't think he's a good fit for our offense.

Mike Brown is about to write a check and put $150mm into an escrow account when he extends Burrow. Things must be tight around the Brown house, and after looking under couch cushions for $150mm with no luck, he decided to try and save a buck on worker's comp insurance premiums instead.

I think the position cost would have been too high to grab a decent CB in free agency with what he has already committed to Tre' White. Teams can't afford to have two top tier CB contracts on the books anymore, just like you can't afford to have two top tier WR contracts on the books at the same time. You need to have one of your CBs on a cheap rookie contract.

Unless they were going to go after Lamar they didn't have much choice. I would hate to be in the Phin's GM's shoes right now. How do you write a contract for this guy with a $100+mm in guarantees with his injury history? Picking up the 5th year option is an easy call, the next contract is the issue.

Beane never goes into the Draft with a glaring hole in the roster. He will work free agency like he does every year to fill the holes in the roster and walk into the Draft able to go in any direction. That's his MO.
