Was never worried about the Colts. We already handled them in the playoffs, and they werent going to find a QB better than Rivers this year.

Bears fans must be rejoicing with this Wentz move. I think Darnold is a better fit for Nagy too

For a chance at a 1st, you might see Irsay push him out onto the field in a wheelchair if thats what it takes. Nevermind, Im an idiot and had that backwards.

So expect Wentz to start no matter how bad it gets.

Darnold is on a rookie contract, where Wentz carries a 25M cap hit. The compensation isnt based solely on perceived talent.

Man, as much as I'd love to see it, I'm not ready to discount them so low yet. And that isnt BBFS talking. That is seeing how they did with losing a bunch of guys to opt-out and having an incapable starting QB. And looking at their cap room for this year, I expect them to make major improvements above and beyond just getting their opt out guys back. I'd cut that list off after the Chargers. I like Herbert, but not sure the team as a whole is any better than the Pats. Bills Chiefs Ravens Titans Browns And even if I include the Chargers, that's only 6 teams with 1 playoff spot left to go. I hope you are right and they fall apart, but I can't confidently predict that yet.

Funny seeing that list of CBs include the names: Patrick Surtain II Asante Samuel Jr Man, I'm getting old...

I dont know. Pats had a lot of Defensive stars sit out last year. They will take a big step up this year by getting their starters back and go from a decent defense to a very good one again. If they can get some semblance of an Offense together, they are definitely making a wild card, and probably giving us a run for the Division. Theyre going to have to wait for Belichick to retire before convincing anyone to blow it up. He doesnt want to drift through a 4-12 season. Or have that be the last thing folks remember about him (that they absolutely fell apart without Brady). Make the next guy do it.

Youre the one who brought it up!

Worked out for KC and Mahomes tho.

If we could get 2013, 2014 Mario back, we'd win the Super Bowl.

I like Addison the best of the bunch, but I'm going all in (or out rather) and cutting Butler, Addison, and Jefferson for a total savings of about $18M. Could we backload contracts with guaranteed money to get around the reduced cap this year? Like both Ngakoue and Watt end up with a hit of only $9M this year (fully guaranteed), but go up significantly with guaranteed money the rest of the years...

That's not saying much Yeah, of all the possible QB moves out there, New England landing Mariota is a good thing for the Bills.

Mario Watch, Maclin Watch... who are some of our other classic FA tracking threads that went on for 100 pages?

Mariota to NE is a cream dream. Another 2-0 season against the Pats.

This is pretty much a dream scenario for me. I've been pounding the table to get Yannick Ngakoue on this team since last offseason. As much as I want Watt, Ngakoue is the better signing for our team. We need to get YOUNGER at DE, and Ngakoue takes us that direction while Watt definitely does not. Happy to re-sign Williams and let Milano walk.

Fields to the Falcons is the most intriguing to me. Partly because I'm local, but mostly because while he IS a "hometown" guy, he also left UGA and not on good terms. Not sure how welcoming Falcons "fans" will be (because most Falcons fans are UGA fans first and Falcons fans just to have something to do on Sunday).

Maybe theyre all just fans of the popular youtube channel?

I enjoy this news as it's yet another gut-punch to Jets fans, and some Dolphins fans as well.

Exactly why I say we need another 1T to rotate with Star.

Interesting. If he cant play 1-tech then I'm not interested at all. And I hope Beane isnt either.

Unless he retires completely, Star will be back. But even if he does come back, we still need another 1-tech to rotate with him. And even if we got both of them, with their ages, we need to be looking for 2 more young 1-techs to sign soon. I'm not thrilled with the idea of signing another Panther cast off, but this could actually help. Maybe.

I sure hope so. They thought they'd turn Butler into Jordan Phillips 2.0, but they found out he's just Vernon Butler 1.0 still.

Exactly like we did with Darryl Williams last year, coming off the same type of injury history.

Dont tell me, tell Magic Beanes. I'd be fine with never signing another Panther cast-off ever again. But we know BB cant help himself. Especially on that DL.
