Bills also giving former Bucs’ TE OJ Howard a one-year, $3.5 million deal worth up to $5 million, per source.

Good riddance

At his age? WTF? How much of that contract is guaranteed? That is going to look beyond ugly in a couple years. I think it looks atrocious right now.

Raiders released Carl Nassib.

Wouldn’t mind having him back to relieve Nelson once in a while.

EDIT: Didn’t see that this had already been posted.

It's also probably something like 2yrd/$30mil with a lot of fluff.

Good, The road to the super bowl got easier for the Bucs, Von Miller to Bills

We still have to beat nemesis Rams in playoff. I believe we’re 0-3 against them

1979 9-0

1999 11-6 damn Ricky!

2021 30-27. damn Bowles!

I forget for a second that this isn’t the NHL. Yeah, he isn’t going to see anywhere near 120 million.

LB Myles Jack is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per sources.

Good pick up by the Steelers

Atlanta is reported to be meeting with five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry. Who paired with Kyle Pitts would make for a nice duo in the passing game. Though there are still a lot of holes on the Falcons’ roster.
I think Carolina is out of Watson sweepstakes

Has Baltimore signed AB yet? The cat seems to think he can pick his landing spot, all dressed up in Raven’s gear on his IG.

Does AB seem like a Jon Harbaugh guy? Even remotely?

I have a hard time seeing that even with Lamar Jackson as QB.

Because he played under Arians & Bowles his 1st 4 years in the league(2 under Bowles), he's a FA, our starting safety just signed with the Jets. Rumor mills would be all over that.

Unfortunately for honey badger, I'm sitting here eating the peanuts we'd offer him.

With the moves we've made so far, the smart money is on a defensive lineman right now. We've addressed nearly everything else short term. And I think we're very much about the short term ATM.

I'd say we're definitely going to be open for business on a trade-down also. With only 5 picks, if we could turn #27 into an extra second and third, or something similar, I think we're going to be listening. Depth is the one thing you can't really fake.
Looking at the draft positions, unless you are willing to lose the 5th year option and our 4th, I can't see it happening based upon draft positions of other teams. 7ths are valueless, and we have no 5th or 6th.

The other option dropping to the middle of round 2, which I wouldn't want to drop that far for our 1st pick that's probably going to have to start. You're MJW so you would rather have trade our 1st rounder for a boatload of 3rd and 4th rounders (based on some of your mock drafts). :)

Signed contracts can be voided, team could lose picks, fines, etc...there's a number of potential punishments. I don't think there's any chance we won't make it. This isn't uncommon for teams to be pushing to the final min, especially if we are trying to get Godwin to commit.
I am sure the $5 million fine is the first one. The others are if they are repeat offenders. Also they can only offer deals to free agents that will not put them over the cap at this point. Those contracts would be voided if submitted.

Yeah but he's gotta be paid. Why would he do us a favor to chase a ring like that? That's what has me saying it sucks
