He had a bad ankle injury last year & the Bengals were without Burrow. I'm pretty sure he was a healthy scratch to avoid paying incentives.

Dude is a talented receiver - they didn't sign him to block.

Chiefs started running a lot of 3 TE sets toward the back half of the year. So you will see a lot of Kelce, Smith, and Noah Gray on the field at the same time.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

This is what I'm praying for. Would love to see him land in a spot with some receiving work out of the backfield. Chargers feel like the jackpot landing spot rn.

Reunite the dynamic duo of Gus & Dobbins, West Coast Style?

Dobbins joining his old teammate, his old OC Greg Roman, and his college nemesis HC would be quite a story.

[SuperFantasyFootballGuy]

Jameis to the Browns to hold Watson's towel.

Flacco to the Broncos maybe? Or perhaps he just hangs it up for good.

I forgot about Flacco, last I heard is that New England was interested. No clue why Minnesota wouldn't want this guy dropping bombs to Justin Jefferson.


Kind of makes me think Minnesota is tanking? Not sure. Actually no, Flacco probably wants more money for leading Browns to the playoffs than teams are wanting to pay him. Makes sense now, sometimes you just have to think this **** through.

 

[SuperFantasyFootballGuy]

That's the funny part about how fickle the league is, had Joe Flacco beaten the Texans he'd be getting $20,000,000 a year, but since he got to the playoffs and lost teams are like:

"Our current guy could have lost that game for HALF the money."

Irv got league minimum type dough.

$1.125M salary, $384k guaranteed, will earn another $167.5k first game he's active for max earnings of $1.29m.

Texans sign D Hunter, 2 years $49 million

 

[GregR]

 

[GregR]

Demeco Ryans is at his best with getting pressure from the normal pass rush. The only edge players with a better pass rush win rate than Will Anderson JR, were a couple of little known guys named Micah Parsons and Myles Garrett. With the upgrade from Greenard to Hunter, and the addition of Denico Autry? I like it. Autry may not get double digit sacks if he's playing mostly DT and not moving around as much as Tennessee did with him. But still, wow.

If he’s hyper targeted he could be solid for FF even if CAR is still a dumpster fire.

I’m just hoping Chuba is the RB1 this year. So far with all this RB movement I’m thrilled to see none of them go to CAR.

 

[menobrown]

I also will say I thought it made sense as his most logical landing spot, had thought that the last few days when I saw he was available.

 

[menobrown]

If he’s hyper targeted he could be solid for FF even if CAR is still a dumpster fire.

That would be my expectation because the one thing he does very well by almost any metric or chart is get open. The one thing I keep hearing that Carolina needs is WR's to get open quickly to help out Bryce. It's an ideal match IMO.

Diontae's stock is up a good amount for me, for this upcoming season anyway. I did not at all like his skill set in an Arthur Smith offense and think he just went to one that is perfect. Jury is fairly still out on Bryce, but volume cures a lot of ills and I was already going to reference Thielen before you did, keeping in him in 2022 he graded out as one the least efficient WR's out of like 117 and he had renassiance in Carolina.

I still think Carolina is going to use one of those seconds on a WR. McConkey would take a little shine off, but not to worried about most of the other rookie WR's I think go in that range being to much of a target threat.

Asking the resident Steeler fan: does this mean the Steelers will spend a high pick on a slot receiver?

A WR but that's kind of an easy answer because Calvin Austin might be their current #2 so they got to sign and draft a few guys. If they sign a guy like Tyler Boyd in FA that might impact the slot need, no idea what direction they will go but Arthur seemed to really favor big physical WR's in Atlanta.

Makes sense. Russ seems to favor his slot guy. Wonder how that will mesh with Arthur Smith's system?

Pats sign Uche to a 1-year deal.

 

[massraider]

Pats sign Uche to a 1-year deal.

$3 mill.

Geez, I dunno about his health, but that seems like someone else should have taken a shot.

Josh Uche had several offers, including one worth $15 million over two years, with $11M fully guaranteed. But his heart was in New England, and he opted to return for less: A one-year, $3M deal with upside to $8M. A rare time a player makes the final call and doesn't chase the money.

Anfernee Jennings agrees to three-year deal with Patriots

The Patriots were 4-13 last season and they set a new course for the franchise by jettisoning Bill Belichick in January, but neither of those developments have stopped them from bringing back a number of players from their 2023 team.

[Payne]

Here in Detroit it seems taboo to badmouth Brad, but I am very underwhelmed so far. Fantastic drafter, jury is out on his free agenecy moves.
We are not building anymore. We are there. Time to make a big move or two. Would have loved Hunter opposite of Hutch.

 

[Payne]

Did Jonathan Taylor retire?

He is a top 5 RB this year.

If he plays more than half a season, sure.

Not sure what you mean. He sat out the first few games due to contract and then missed three games after thumb surgery.
Surgery many thought would cost him the season.

 

[pinkstapler]

Patrick Queen to the Steelers is kinda wild. 3/41 is a lot less than I was expecting, but more so just that those aren't really teams that sign the other's FAs.

Omar Khan is certainly taking a different approach that's for sure. It's the highest paid FA add in Steelers franchise history I believe. And I'm with you, it's a cheaper contract than I'd have thought, so just speaks to how uncharacteristic it is for them. Despite finding Wilson hard to root for as a person; I can't say I'm not excited for this year as a fan.
