I am watching the NFL Network. When they show clips of a player's highlights, usually three or four plays, we are in nearly every player's highlights. You can't buy this kind of PR, folks.

Coming off an Achilles and he is 36. They paid him $45m x 4. This could be a Rams/Stafford situation, except Stafford is better.

Hard to imagine what the plan is at this point. I am happy to see them hanging back in free agency so far.

Does that bring down Burn's contract numbers?

Rumored to Minnesota

Gotta be Raiders. I just feel it

Good player, just getting old. In the right coverage, he should be fine.

By the way, I have not heard what Seattle is planning to do with Geno. The pick #16, fwiw. I hear the new coach will not confirm he is the starter. Great place for a player lke Nix or Pennix or McCarthy to go sit for a season.

Watched that Podcast with mike Kaye--he thinks Colby Parkinson TE (Seahawks, Stanford) is a likely addition, Also thinks (as I do) Tremble is about to break out.

I keep wondering what the Vikings are going to do if they lose Cousins....They pick 11th. I have not been reading the rumors, but it is interesting to see how the dominoes will fall--start seeing it tomorrow.

the Giants sitting at #6 are in really good position to grab a QB this year when the market is better than it will be in 2025, I would speculate. Would they take McCarthy at #6? Maybe not as risky as it was when Gettlemen took Jones early. I think that would mess up the Vikings' draft. I am really ready to get free agency behind us so we can see through this muddy water.

Without Canales will he be as good? Stay tuned, but Baker is known for having a good year once in a while--streaky.

I was hearing Wilson to Pittsburgh, but I have not been keeping up. Fields then to maybe the Raiders?

The Patriots definitely have a type.

If I had the #3 pick in the draft and there were 3 QBs who could reasonably be expected to be starters in the NFL, I would never take a WR instead under any circumstance. NE sorta settled a bit when they went with Jones, and I think that was BB's ego at work. Humbled, if they trade back or don't take a QB, I would be totally shocked. I can tell you that this first round, even though the Panthers are out, is going to be highly entertaining. Popcorn will be flowing. 45 makes some good points about sleepers who will move up or could take a QB---JJ McCarthy is going to be an interesting pick. He will be overdrafted, imo.

What pisses me off? For the past few years, mocking season has been the best part of my year. It is so messed up now, I can't mock draft with any degree of personal enjoyment. You took that from me Fitterer!! You bastard.

I once liked Hurney. I once liked Gettlemen. I once liked Fitterer. It takes time to know what you have at GM.

Did we not recently (over the past few years) reduce a contract and then cut the player later? I know we did, I just can't recall who it was. I was thinking WR? Point: You can reduce the contract's overall amount, including guaranteed money. If you make the team, you earn the next contract. If you do not, the team has less dead cap. It only works if the player has a "bird in the hand" situation.

what was Fitterer doing, besides drugs? I also do not think Burn's market value goes up because the cap did. The problem with the cap is that it makes only a few players very wealthy. I would listen to offers, play him on the cap figure. He will lose 3 million doing that. If he tanks again and protects his investment, he then has 2 seasons of underperforming--costing him much more $$. If he plays well, tag him again. So we have Burns at a deal LOWER than what is proposed here for 2 years. Throwing money at him is not the solution when we have so many other needs.

yup

He is very strong but not real agile. In a wide zone, I would doubt it. The kid from Georgia with 4 last names in mid round 3 or so is a better option, but I am not the expert here. I liked Frazier because I saw Bozeman getting bull rushed last year, but in the Wide Zone, less of an issue.

I know it was only 4 games,but this is what Corbett did before getting injured (PFF): averaging about 0.75 sacks per game---at right guard. Some of this is on Campen, who sucked. The OL looked very confused early on, but this is unacceptable. Some Guards had 3 sacks all year.

Jimmy, I am not an expert on this, but the only potential starting center I see that would fit us is Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, Georgia. He would probably be an upgrade. I do not think Jackson Powers-Johnson, oregon is there at #33 and I do not think Zach Frazier , WVU has the mobility this offense might need. So much depends on their feelings about Christensen at LG--I think he serves us better if he works in practice at LT and RT (Swing) and is prepared to possibly step into Moton's spot in 2025. 'I think the G market in this draft is very solid. I think the T market is very strong. So, I dunno, but I noticed something interesting in the limited players list and that involves Maryland OL Glaze, who played at West Meck. He played LT and RT at MD and over a 2.5 year period as a starter, surrendered 4 sacks. They might take him to groom behind Moton, but he should be there at pick 101. I am beginning to think that if Powers-johnson is there at #33, you take him. The draft is deep at WR, and if we could sign a player like Ridley, we could take a C or G at #33, if one were to fall into round 2. I still think we trade the #33 pick after round 1 for a lower second and a third.

My position in life is this---a lack of hope is more tied to a lack of confidence than an awareness of reality. Letting that sink in. Deeper. Deeper. There.

I get the feeling that the new front office is being very tight lipped.
