AJ on a low cost incentive laden deal and HumphriesAny guesses on the WR?
My wish for a WR is Curtis Samuel. If it's Kenny Golladay, I will faint. Corey Davis and Nelson Agholor are others on their radar.Any guesses on the WR?
Faint in a good way or bad way?My wish for a WR is Curtis Samuel. If it's Kenny Golladay, I will faint. Corey Davis and Nelson Agholor are others on their radar.
They have 8, 39, 73
I was literally just looking at that when I saw that post lol.They have 8, 39, 73
Edit: Gilmore + 15 + ?? for 8??
AJ as the 2nd WR signed to a cheap incentive laden deal is worth it I think.AJ is toast.
Cincinnati at 5?? They have their QB.I was literally just looking at that when I saw that post lol.
I think they may have to get to 5 or 6 to get 1 of the big 4, though.
NFL clearly going to investigate the Pats because this clearly damages the integrity of the game. The contracts will all be invalidated and the Patriots will lose 2 first round picks...By the way, this all shows how stupid the "legal tampering period" is. The legal tampering period *BEGAN* at noon today. In theory, this is when teams are allowed to INITIATE CONTACT with these players (through their agents). Yet all these guys are SIGNED within minutes/hours of the legal tampering period STARTING. Pretty obviously there had been negotiations going on for a while. Which....is tampering. It's so dumb.
(But it makes for a fun day today!)
In a good way. He's a beast.Faint in a good way or bad way?
Agreed. Would love to see it.In a good way. He's a beast.

Probably. Thus the incentive laden part. Holt/Wayne type.AJ is toast.
Yeah, I think Jags/Jets/Falcons should all take QB, Miami probably won't, but could trade back to someone who needs one, but if they draft a player, getting to 5 might be necessary.Cincinnati at 5?? They have their QB.
Sure, but I wouldn't really want that as part of the plan. I wouldn't mind that after going after guys that you have a better idea about first. That type of deal will always be out there.Probably. Thus the incentive laden part. Holt/Wayne type.
Feel like there are guys with a lot more upside who'll likely command similar money: Higgins, Hilton, Cole.AJ as the 2nd WR signed to a cheap incentive laden deal is worth it I think.
Agreed. If AJ gets close to the money that those guys get, I want nothing to do with him. I would think based on age and injury, AJ would struggle to match those names.Feel like there are guys with a lot more upside who'll likely command similar money: Higgins, Hilton, Cole.
Hilton maybe not, but most places seem to project AJ in the 6-7M a year range, and I would guess Higgins will be there too, Cole maybe lessAgreed.

Draft a shitton of wide receivers and throw the ball a ton and you'll hit a bunch? James Washington, Dri Archer, Sammie Coates, Limas Sweed, Markus Wheaton are all second and third round picks drafted in the past 11 years who didn't really work out (some made some plays here and there).I believe that the Steelers have figured out something about drafting WRs. For everyone else it's a dart throw, and the Patriots' failings are just small sample size.
I dont disagree. If they have the $ for a more proven guy, I def would prefer itSure, but I wouldn't really want that as part of the plan. I wouldn't mind that after going after guys that you have a better idea about first. That type of deal will always be out there.
Cutting their starting tackles and restructuring the Mahomes deal netted them a ton of cap space.The cap gymnastics the Chiefs are doing to make this work have to be pretty impressive. I think it's a really good signing for them given how that SB went and the loss of their two tackles, but they're gonna need to keep hitting cheap talent in the draft to avoid some painful cuts.
Right? Do they know he is a guard?Any chance they signed him to play Tackle at that price after cutting Fisher + Schwartz?
Not sure if we know enough yet about the specifics of the deals. Miguel says not enough for him as of now.Do we know how much cap room the Patriots have left?
Virtually impossible to say precisely until we know the structures of the deals (bonus, guarantees, first year salary). Since they started the day with like 65M in space, It’ll be well north of 25M of remaining space, I expect, as the AAVs of these deals almost certainly won’t correspond to the cap charges this year.Do we know how much cap room the Patriots have left?
He played LT at NC State & some emergency snaps at RT in 2019.Right? Do they know he is a guard?
Moving offensive linemen out of position didn't exactly work out for them in the Super Bowl.He played LT at NC State & some emergency snaps at RT in 2019.
So maybe they think he can handle playing T with the idea that if he fails, at least they can swap him back inside.
