We traded last years too.

[Restored 270]

Great move. Now get Rivers and this team is back to being a contender.

[Scott Pennock 2,731]

Everyone is clamoring for a QB and there is a proven QB out there that is a former 1st round pick that can push the ball down the field with the best of them that is 26.......he also recently had lasik surgery done.

 

Jameis Winston

 

Since NONE of us saw the Buckner trade, I'm calling for Winston from the right field bleachers....

 

Then draft a WR at 34, Claypool at 44 as your new TE and spend the rest of the draft on competition/depth pieces!

He’s not been linked to the Colts, so I don’t see it. 
 

However, I’d take Winston over Bridgewater any day. And market ain’t looking good for Teddy. lol

Claypool is not a TE with those combine numbers

How linked to the Colts was Buckner?

They might be doing it in order to trade him. Because of the Cousins contract they are in position to have to cut/trade great players. 

 

I wonder how @NFLfan feels about this. 

 

 I want The Vikings to retain Harris. He is an intelligent player and was rated highly last year. I also prefer continuity. I want us to draft and acquire good players, develop them and re-sign them. I am not a fan of signing high-priced free agents that have no history with the team unless they are special players. I would have loved to acquire Hopkins via trade. I don't get that move by Houston. 

 

I am not pleased with the Cousins extension but we had to do it to free up salary cap space.

I wouldn’t hate this if it was just a 2 year deal. I wouldn’t want anything longterm until he proved he could cut down on his INT.

Treat this one with the required level of suspicion for CFB/Barstool Blogger but :

 

 

 

 

I have no idea how credible this guy is + I don't think we are allowed to sign or announce a signing at this point. 

 

That is many rivers to cross.  Sorry!

Hebryy, Dupree and Chris Jones have been tagged and devonta Freemen has been cut.

 

Also Kirksey is signing with the Packers

I called the Freeman buh-bye in another thread a while ago. Falcons have zero money, and they overspent on him to begin with. I've seen a ton of different segments on RB in general, and the overall feel of most of those conversations were that teams would continue to pull away from big dollar RBs. I'm sure some teams will continue to shell out for the few top tier guys, but the majority will be devalued.

He hasn't been linked is my point. Typically Ballards draft picks and free agent signings (or trades) come straight out of nowhere.....

 

THAT is why I question the Rivers rumors so much.

[Wentzszn 10,524]

NFL put out a memo that no players signed can be brought over the facility and no personnel can go see the player. If team wants a physical they will be giving teams a list of doctors in the players area where they can get one done. Off season programs are suspended until further notice.

Not sure the Buckner trade came out of nowhere.  Maybe the player, but he stressed the importance of the 3tech in this D.   And a veteran too 

More of what he said .  He needed to get JB more playmakers on offense.  I predict WR and RB will be taken sooner than later.

With 4.42 speed? I think not. He's a wr. And a darn good one

Luck - 6 years - 171 TDs and 83 INTs

........thru 5 years though: 130 and 70

Winston - 5 years - 121 TDs and 81 INTs.

 

Not a whole lot of difference there actually. 

 

The lasik has to help AND Ballard/Reich have already stated INTs are not always the QBs fault in regards to scouting. Mentioned Allen and Love specifically but can be used to scout a pro as well.

 

I'd give him a 4+ year contract as is.

[Wentzszn 10,524]

This could help the colts re-sign Funchess. They already have everything on him.

I agree a new WR and TE will be 2 of the first 3 picks now.

I don't disagree, however, its already public knowledge that he would move to TE if his drafted team asked and he'd be MORE of a matchup nightmare then.

Granted he would be more of a matchup nightmare there I think he's going to give it everything he's got to be a wr. The compensation difference is just too high

thats gonna murky the waters a bit

[Wentzszn 10,524]

If we sign Rivers it is important we find the future QB this draft or next year. We have s lot of contracts coming for out own and we need our starting QB to be on a rookie deal the next few few years.

[CR91 7,244]

Brockers to the Ravens

 

Van noy to the dolphins

 

Graham to the bears

[PeterBowman 1,492]

Hargrave to Eagles......they'll have a beastly DLine again.

I would think this is for a backup and to push Carr.

I don't think they trade carr with Mariota as the only veteran QB left on the team

You think this will sit well with Carr?

[Wentzszn 10,524]

If the raiders sign Marriotta to back up car and Carolina does not take a QB. There is a very good chance that Herbert and Love fall. Chargers need a LT. If  they fall into the late teens or late first round there is a big opportunity to move back into the first for one of them. I am beginning to think that Love and Herbert drop a little.

Even if they drop, it will take atleast both second round picks to get back into the first round

Unfortunately for him it's not really his choice. He's under contract. He would just have to deal with it. Plus if he's confident with himself he shouldn't be worried
