NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(to be clear, probably good for his value in FF, but sucks as a Redskins fan. We now have ZERO WRs worth a chit on the roster) 

Colin's used to throw himself TD passes in peewee league before he switch to S in highschool.

 

[beef]

Rumor is Bell could also be a RAY-DA!

Read a rumor about SF too.

The Foles signing officially brings end to the era of possibly the best garbage time fantasy to ever get drafted... Blake Bortles

Dude helped me win a dynasty superflex championship in 2017, I'll be pouring some beer on the curb for him tonight.  I even had to play Frank Gore because AB was out with injury in Week 16.

Bortles, Blake JAC QB		22.38
Stafford, Matthew DET QB	10.82
Bell, Le'Veon PIT RB		19.45
Gore, Frank IND RB		16.10
Ingram, Mark NOS RB		14.85
Fitzgerald, Larry ARI WR	25.49
Landry, Jarvis MIA WR		6.85
Walker, Delanie TEN TE		5.55

Tyler Kroft to the Bills

 

[Buckna]

Tyler Kroft to the Bills

$ Per Rapoport: The #Bills have agreed to terms with TE Tyler Kroft on a 3-year deal worth $18.75M ($6.25M per year), source said. It can be worth $21M.

 

[caustic]

Adam Humphries to the Titans.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

The #Titans are signing former #Bucs WR Adam Humphries, per @MikeGarafolo and me. Another top slot threat off the market. One of the NFL’s most efficient on third down.

 

[SayWhat?]

Adam Humphries to the Titans.

Doesn’t mean they won’t also draft a rookie WR high, but I think it’s a bit less likely (especially in the 1st) after this signing which is good news for Corey Davis owners.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Adam Humphries to the Titans.

36m over 4 years.  Nice add.

 

[Bojang0301]

Terrell Suggs to Arizona. I don’t really follow the Ravens offseason so this is a bit of a shocker to me.

 

[bcat01]

Bengals signing OT Bobby Hart...3 yrs $21M+, per Schefter.

Championship 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Great year to be a FA TE. Outside of Kelce, not a lot of competition.  Time for teams to think forward and draft the next big TE.

There are some high upside TE's in this draft, I'm a little surprised at how much these middling talents are getting.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Adam Humphries 4/36 with Titans

Terrell Suggs to the Cardinals

Bills gives 3/19 to TE Tyler Kroft

Edit: Sorry I missed page 3 of thread.

RB Mike Davis to the Bears. They were rumored to be in the Bell sweepstakes and Bell posted something about "Decisions Decisions" a few hours ago so maybe his decision is done now.

Edit: Bell also recently posted a tweet suggesting there are more than 2 teams interested FWIW.

 

[menobrown]

Bears rumored to be on Bell and they sign Mike Davis. He was actually sneaky good last year and don't know contract details yet but Rapaport described it as his first big payday.

We posted about the same time.

Also Bell, Howard and Tevin Coleman have the same agent. Maybe Bears got tired of dealing with him.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Honey Badger Tyrann Mathieu to KC 3/42.

 

[BoltBacker]

Terrell Suggs to the Cardinals

This one is pretty odd. Suggs will definitely put them over the hump..... to raise them up to the SECOND worst team in the league? I don't get it. Not sure what the $ was but I was thinking Chiefs/Rams would be a much better landing spot for him to make one last run at a title.

 

[zamboni]

Tyler Kroft to the Bills

At first I thought it was Eifert, but no matter - both will be out by week 4.

 

[BoltBacker]

Honey Badger Tyrann Mathieu to KC 3/42.

Speaking of the Cardinals, that's a chunk of change for a guy the Cards couldn't find a use for. I guess all that matters is the guaranteed money though.

 

[menobrown]

What a dilemma. The hated(for me anyway) Devin Funchess has landed in one of prime FA  WR spots with Colts.

 

[SayWhat?]

What a dilemma. The hated(for me anyway) Devin Funchess has landed in one of prime FA  WR spots with Colts.

Ehh.  He’ll clear things up and be back in your bad graces as soon as the Colts grab a rookie WR in the first 2-3 rounds.  

 

[BoltBacker]

What a dilemma. The hated(for me anyway) Devin Funchess has landed in one of prime FA  WR spots with Colts.

He could be a nice compliment to TY Hilton. A lot of folks hated on Ebron before he got paired with Luck as well.

 

[menobrown]

OMG, they gave Funchess $13M!

ETA- Got my info from Mort earlier and he amended it to $13M max. I'd be willing to be it looks a lot like Moncriefs deal with Jags last year, probably $9-10M at least guaranteed but that's just a guess

 

[ffmail4me]

Funchess sucks but if anyone could help him be serviceable it’s Luck

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Ugh, would much rather have seen one of the more interesting WRs like Tyrell end up in Indy.

 

[menobrown]

He could be a nice compliment to TY Hilton. A lot of folks hated on Ebron before he got paired with Luck as well.

I'd be the opposite of that so can't put me in that bucket, was huge on Ebron, he had drop issues but was pretty clear he could run and was a mismatch in coverage. These are not things I've ever said about Funchess.

 

[menobrown]

Ugh, would much rather have seen one of the more interesting WRs like Tyrell end up in Indy.

Was pulling for John Brown myself. For sure seemed like top FA destination for a WR2 type.

WaIt, what? For one year?!

I wouldn't offer Funchess a $13m contract for the rest of his career. Not even exaggerating about that.

 

[BoltBacker]

Ugh, would much rather have seen one of the more interesting WRs like Tyrell end up in Indy.

I thought three of his potential destinations were NYJ, IND, and OAK.... interestingly all three have already added a WR.

Deon Cain owners breathe a sigh of relief.

San Fran.  That would be ideal.

The Indy Star is reporting that the offer was really $1.3 mil but the accountant f'd up and moved the decimal one too many spots.  Oops....

 

[Bfrahm3]

I’m no Funchess is amazing supporter but I don’t see the deal being terrible. They have a ton of cap, a need at WR and funchess is better then the other stuff they have. Plus he is young and it’s a 1 year deal. Let Luck see what he can do with him and go from there. Sure Tyrell woulda been a nicer get but he probably wants 13 mill a year for 4-5 years

EDIT: sounds like it is closer to a 10 million deal with the rest in possible incentives

[Leroy Hoard]

The cap just gets bigger and bigger, a lot of surprise FAs getting more money than first thought.

Darn near $1 billion in cap room heading into FA

 

[IHEARTFF]

Lol... these teams are so ####### dumb. Basically just a bunch of doofuses who treat GM as a part time job and Owners who do this as a hobby.

But the how would you do as a gm thread told me these guys are the best of the best. 

 

[Football Jones]

I’m not sure what Mike Davis got, but it was reported as his first big payday.

That’s all you need to know about how smart today’s signings were.

LOL. Simply ridiculous.

Saw something abt 6 million

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Not bad for a 4th round choice.

 

[Mister CIA]

Good for him.

 

[ZWK]

Rotoworld has it as 2 years for $6M. So $3M per year. Seems reasonable.

 

[JohnnyU]

Colts got scammed lol...

Not really.  One year deal and it’s only 13M with incentives.  Smart IMO.

2 years, 6 million.  

Could be worse, but that can't be the best use of cap space.  Draft a 7th rounder for your depth... Or Udfa.  Is your rookie scouting that bad?  Nevermind, im asking about the team who passed on Watson and Mahomes so they could trade up for Trubiski, who they could have got without trading up.... 

 

[Bronco Billy]

From initial appearances, there are some teams making some really poor decisions in FA so far.

It’s Christmas and some teams are investing heavily in coal.

 

[menobrown]

I thought the Mike Davis contract was one of the better contracts teams gave out today.

 

[jeaton6]

Early front runner for worst move. 14.5 million a year for a guy who was a weaker link of a bad defense. Pretty much any LB taken in round 3 this year, is likely a much better player than Kwon, and not coming a major injury to boot.

$13.5M
