Please be Jamie Collins related.

Please be Jamie Collins related.

The only big name FA whose cap hit would likely go down is Hightower. Collins, Butler, Sheard, & Ryan all go up.

Either sign the defensive FAs or trade for Joe Thomas.

I assume Thomas is a pipe dream, but if he was on the table, how much would you give up? His contract is actually really favorable - 3 years, $29.5 MM left, none of it guaranteed. On the other hand, he turns 32 in December.

I would probably do a second. I don't think I would do a first. I would have to think about something like, a first for Thomas and a third coming back.

Yes please.

I'd give either a first for him and a middle rd pick or a 2nd straight up. This is a championship team and the tackle position is literally the worst position on the team.

They also extended Ninkovich – does that free up cap space? I couldn't find it in Volin's piece. If so, you would think they might be trying to set themselves up to make a move.

No it didn't. Miguel said it upped the cap by $14,706.

I think the NFL will find a way to stop this soon
