Texans have loaded up on the defensive side of the ball.

Wasn't next year's second part of the trade with Houston?

They've also done well with the WR picks in the later rounds. Davis was a good number 2 until he got the dropsies and Shakir has been excellent and seems to be getting better with more playing time.

Good point. I'm a Penn State alum and fan. I hated when we drafted Maybin. I knew he'd be a bust in the pros.

Apparently the Chiefs contacted Pittsburgh about trading for Johnson, but the Steelers avoided them, preferring not to help them out. Thank you, Pittsburgh.

Sort of makes Jefferson's ask of $30M plus per year seem rational.

Would have liked to have him back as depth.

I ecpected a restructure for Mahomes. Bengals are not paying $30M per year to Jefferson...not with Chase up for a contract next year. So I don't expect much from that rumor. I thought Jags already had decent WRs so don't know how many wins they've added. Texans have made some solid moves. Can't deny that.

Jags are pussyfooting. Apparently, if they sign Ridley prior to the start of the league year, they have to give Atlanta a 2nd round pick (per the initial trade agreement). If however, he is signed after the start of the league year, the compensation is only a 3rd round pick. Shefter was talking about this today on NFL Live.

That's exactly it. They need to build around Young and see what they've got in him. So that means jettisoning the Defense and building up the Offense.

Just saw this! Yes!

More teams added to now needing QBs. Let's push those WRs down the draft!

Out of that group, I would take Legette.

This was expected and Chris Jones is getting the money he wanted and deserves...$32M per year. As to KC trading Sneed...I know there is interest from a number of teams, but if they are smart, they hold out. KC is asking for a 2, or so I've heard. Now with Jones' cap hit, they will be more desirous of moving Sneed to get his $19M off the books...or they could renegotiate...but it's still going to cost them likely $16M per year. So...teams should not be in a hurry to help KC out. They've won 3 SBs...they should pay a major price for that to the players largely responsible.

Well perhaps it's a low 3rd (which they were expecting anyway) and the Bills have to give up one of their lower round picks in exchange.

This makes sense especially if the Bills are targeting WR with their first pick. They could drop down a few slots, recoup a 3rd round pick and still have a nice selection of WR targets.

Please explain.

You said he's a UFA, implying this year, when someone asked if he'd been cut. He's under contract through 2025.

Martin is under contract until 2026 when he becomes a free agent.

I'm not making any assumptions about what the oline will look like. The press, I think is doing that based on who was active last year. My guess is that they will likely add olinemen in the draft and have a full scale competition in camp for the starting center.

His first go around had us taking Brian Thomas at WR. He must think that after the combine, players have gone up the board and others have dropped. He must be thinking the value is there for Latu. Zierlein is now dead to me.

The teams that really need CB help are in positions to draft them in the first round of this year's draft, as a lot of teams will be going after QB, WR, OL and some DL. Why get a guy at top dollar...and lose a number 2 draft pick in the process when you can sign a solid CB and have him for 5 years before you have to pay him?

Throat cancer is what got my Dad. Rich Eisen announced Mortensen's passing as they were concluding their combine coverage. Daniel Jeremiah broke into tears talking about what he meant to him. He said they were texting each other throughout the day yesterday about draft prospects. He was a real pro until the end. RIP and thank you, Mr. Mortensen.

They jumped a number of teams not just the Bills...including Denver which did draft a wide receiver in that round.

Rice was taken in the second round and there was no guarantee the Bills would have drafted a WR in the second round after grabbing Kincaid in the 1st.
