Chief's signed "punt god" Matt Araiza after he apparently proved his innocence. Great signing! Townsend wants to be the highest paid punter. This guy averaged almost 52 yards per punt in college, former Ray Guy award winner, and hit an 82 yard punt in preseason for the Bills before getting cut due to the accusations. I have a feeling this was Toub all the way.

Yeah I like the move. Stay cheap at punter, it doesn't matter a ton.

Man, the Broncos cutting Wilson... what a disaster. $80M+ In dead money over the next 2 seasons. That's roughly 20% of their cap for a player that will never play for them again. They gave up 2 starters, 2 first round picks and 2 second round picks to get him. Then they gave up another first and second to hire the coach that cut Wilson. I don't normally call for peoples jobs, but how nobody got fired over this is beyond me. Imagine giving up 3 firsts and 3 seconds in 3 years. Insanity.

Please falcons no.

No to Russ or no to doing something similar with Fields? lol

No to Russ. I can deal with fields. Not sure the result would be much different.

Russ at least should come cheap since the Broncos are going to pay him $35-40M next season. He really has no reason not to play for the vet min, and he darn sure better be motivated if he wants to stay a starter.

If I was a QB needy team I'd kick the tires on Russ, then draft a QB like Spencer Rattler in the 2nd or 3rd, and finally take the money you saved by not paying big QB money to sign 2-3 free agents.

As long as we win the division again I’ll be fine. Bunch of scrubs winning it yearly.

Used to pray for times like this as a Chiefs fan.

Russ a Steeler and Kirk a Falcon. Free agents flying fast. Chiefs resigned Jones to a fat contract through wizardry only accounting for $7M against the cap this year. Really interested to hear Cousins contract. He's made so much money already.

A lot of moves for sure

Pollard to Titans
Swift is a Bear
Raiders spend a boat load on Wilkins DT from the Dolphins.
Saquan likely headed to the Eagles.
Sounds like King Henry is going to Dallas, ugh. More talk of 'this is their year', right?

I’m fine with cousins but 35 years and that money are kinda ??

Packers sign Jacobs, cut Aaron Jones. That doesn't seem like an upgrade in their offense.

What did he get? They need to shore up the O-line and get another weapon.

Wow! Looks like another great deal for Kirk! He's a solid qb, so not terrible for Atlanta. Better than the Giants paying that kind of money to Daniel Jones. I've said Cousins is a more aggressive thus more mistake prone Alex Smith. He can win that division, but they need to take a massive step forward as a team to contend for the SB.

The problem was not Matt Ryan for sure.

Falcons signed Mooney as well. Was hoping KC could land him cheap.

Look out AFC North, Ravens add a much needed run game in King Henry to compliment Lamar...gross.

Henry is great...in December. Otherwise the O-line really needs to open holes for him because of his size. Do the Ravens have that skillset?

Beyond excited Barkley is finally back in PA where he belongs

Henry was 2nd, 2nd, 9th, 1st, 1st in rushing yards in the past five years. The Titans' o-line in 2023 was one of the worst. It's been bad for a few years at least.

Ravens on the otherhand had a top 5-10 o-line. I think he'll do just fine there. Even so, his stats probably take a hit with all the Lamar scrambles and the fact that he's now "past his prime" as far as the NFL is concerned.

Steelers- WTF yall doing?!

Throwing cheap darts.

At least it will make great reality tv.

I've mostly been concerned about what would happen this off-season to support Justin Herbert. He's clearly the guy to build a team around but it seems the Chargers are basically going for a full reboot of the offense. Consistency is not something he's had much of and a new coach, approach, removal of key play makers...doesn't look great on paper. I don't expect much in 2024 but 2025 is likely going to be pretty good.

They were/are in salary cap hell. They had to do something drastic to get under the cap. Harbaugh is likely going to try to establish a defense based team with a more run heavy offense.

Oof, another offseason. Rashee Rice racing on highways, well bumper cars anyways. His Covette and rented Lamborghini SUV (why is this a thing?) damaged. Leaves both to get the heck out of dodge with his homies while allegedly hiding firearms. Good things to come.

Diggs traded to the Texans for a costly amount... for the Bills. They are eating $31M of his salary and giving up 2 picks to get rid of him and receiving a 2025 2nd. Diggs the next AB?

5 Qb's going in the top 15 of the draft?

XFL Influencing the NFL with the new kickoff rule. Way to go Vince!

New extension of sales tax voted down by Jackson County. Chief's brass have stated they aren't afraid to move. It was a mess of a "plan" anyways with being tied to moving the Royals. Kudos for voting it down. We'll see what happens.

Looking forward to the draft.

QB Salaries are destroying FA and trade values. One of the best corners last year going for a 3rd in next year's draft and peanuts. I wonder at what point does a team trade off a top qb for a cheap rookie to grow their team?

This offseason can end anytime now.

Draft starts tonight? Anyone interested in it?

Yep, I have a few relatives coming into town, and some friends coming over. Pizza, dips, an assortment of beverages, as is tradition. Patriots picking at 3 I was hoping Jayden Daniels would fall to us. Not interested in Drake Maye....maybe Nix. If I had it my way, I'd have said grab a QB in FA like Cousins, heck, even Fields, and draft Marvin Harrison Jr....but that's why I'm behind a computer screen and not in the draft room.

I actually thought that for the Pats too, then take Spencer Rattler in the second or third. They could sign Ryan Tanehill for Spencer to sit behind for a year to learn so he doesn't get exposed right away and build up the team around him.

I think there's a decent chance 6 qb's go in the first. I'm really looking forward to this year's draft despite KC drafting last, a problem I'll take every year lol. I think Veach trades up again to around 20 to get one of his "first round graded talents". I'd like them to trade back and get more picks though.

Definitely, as a Lions fan and multiple fantasy dynasty leagues haha. I'm cool with whatever the Lions do this year. They had an amazing draft last season, got some solid FAs for holes we had, and secured St Brown and Sewell for a long time, so I am pretty happy. We need some defensive pieces, so we will see. I wouldn't mind another decent WR as well.

For months me, my wife, and a couple...couple friends (only one of us is a true Lions fan, but we all pull for them) were seriously considering going to the NFL draft in person, but not a lot of details of the actual event were available at the time. We live just over an hour and a half away from Detroit. As time went on and people tried to secure the time off for work, the prices of course skyrocketed, and getting a hotel or BnB nearby was less and less likely. Those plans just fell through last month. Now that all of the details are out, it sounds like it would have a blast. We regret not solidifying the trip sooner.

Ah that's a bummer man! I moved from MI a long time ago, but would have loved to make it over there for it. My cousin has a wedding up in Traverse City this weekend, so would have been the PERFECT EXCUSE if I could have lol.

Yeah, I wanted to go to the draft in KC last year. Couldn't get anyone else to go. :(

The two things I didn't want the Chiefs to do... trade up and draft Worthy. They love their undersized speedy wr's.

Was hoping McConkey would end up in KC

Tornado warnings, news taking up draft coverage...

I did really enjoy the Bills Mafia reaction video to the trade. So there's that.

Edit: Spencer Rattler in a good situation. I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up the best QB this draft if things fall in place.
