Why I figured it would be a good place to put them all instead of new threads for everything.

 

We'll see how that works out.

Thank you for doing that. It is better to have one place for all the moves than having a separate thread for each move.

Hasn't Mike Evans asked for more money? Was that all fully guaranteed? That seems very less when the talk is about Pittman getting around 24 million average, even if Evans has been over 30.

 

Bills have had to make so many moves to make cap space available, they'll need a good draft to be in the race. Them signing Trubisky is a head scratcher for me! Especially after so many QBs had better production as backups last year. Maybe, they went cheap! 

 

Dolphins made my favourite move of the off-season signing so far, signing TE Jonnu Smith. He had similar production as Kyle Pitts in a time share with Atlanta, and he's produced well enough all his career. He'll be a great fit for Tua. 

 

4th round pick OG Kevin Doston got more money than 2nd round pick Ezra Cleveland of their draft class. Vikings could've kept him for the money he got and Vikings got only a 6th round draft pick in return for him!

Ravens sign DT Madubuike to an extension. 

 

 

[teganslaw]

Madubuike got paid! That's a lot of money he'll make. 

 

The Broncos are sending Jerry Jeudy to the Browns for 5th and 6th round picks. 

[AwesomeAustin]

Jerry Jeudy traded to the Browns for I believe a 5th and 6th.

Glad the Colts didn’t trade a 3rd for him. As for the Broncos that team is going to be in a rough place for awhile.

Not sure what really is going on with Jeudy. I believe injuries hampered him one year but I thought he was going to be better. I hope Watson can elevate him ao he reaches his potential

NFL Network is reporting breaking news:

 

Chris Jones is not going anywhere. The Chiefs have signed Jones to a five-year deal.

5 years.   Holy cow.  I bet that's a huge number.  100 million?

Close.. $95million

My guess is $125m at least. Be $25m AAV.

 

 

May be higher.

 

Biggest part is $95m guaranteed. That's big money.

That's just the guaranteed portion 

[w87r]

If it is actually a deal to be highest paid DT ever, like that tweet says,

 

It might be a 5yr $165m($33m AAV a year) with $95m guaranteed

Imagine what a prime Reggie White would get in today's game.  Chris is very good,  he isn't on the spectrum of all time good

Reggie White contract would probably look like Nick Bosa or  Micah Parsons upcoming contract

Yeah I saw somewhere between 31-34m AAV

[Zoltan]

They must have a trade partner lined up for Sneed or be doing some major restructuring because I don’t see how they will fit his contract into the salary cap unless most of it at the end of the contract.

I like that they are doing what is necessary to retain those they have drafted.

 

Chris Jones would be a top 10 pick in a re-do of his draft class. He was drafted in the second round.

 

I hope the Vikes keep Hunter. He is one of my favorite players and one of our best draft picks in the last decade. (JJ too)

He's going to cost them $25m probably. JJ $30m.

I know. I think $30M is too much for a WR but he is a special one. Hunter is a youthful player despite having played 9 years in the league. I think he is 29 or 30. I want to keep him but he is a free agent. JJ is not. We can worry about JJ later.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Seems like jags are putting some pressure on Trevor to step it up.

Better worry about

 

 

Good thing about Hunter, is, he is going to cost you $14.9m if you don't re-sign him.

 

So $25m AAV over 3-4 years, which will be much lower cap hit in 2024 won't have much more of an impact on this years cap than it would be if he leaves.

 

 

Kirk's the same way, even if you have to give him a 2yr $90m deal(I think that's what he said he was asking?), there is a $28.5m dead cap hit if he leaves

 

Let's say contract looks like 2yr $90m

2024 $40m

2025 $50m

 

They will probably put a void year or 2 on it to lower those 2 cap hits, and unfortunately be in the same situation in a couple years. Shift it down the road a couple years.

 

2024 $30m

2025 $40m

2026 $20m dead cap void year 

 

Be tough to lose Kirk and still have the $28.5m cap hit. The cap going up more than expected helps with the burden though, if they or Kirk opt to move on. 

 

I know where you stand, but I kinda hope he stays in Minnesota.

I read that Cousins will tell us today whether he will take our offer. We expect that he will. I prefer signing out own free agents rather than others but I thought he would sign elsewhere.

 

I read that Baker may sign with Atlanta.

 

I still want to re-sign Hunter and maybe Wonnum too.

Yeah saw the same about Cousins.

 

I like Wonnum also.
