That could very well be the case too.

Might be reading into this too much, but this says Bell is interested in the Bills; not necessarily the other way around. Which again might be as simple as Bell and his agent recognizing that Buffalo has a lot of cap space so they want to project the idea that they're interested in Buffalo.

Realistically I think it's likely just Jets and Ravens and if Baltimore gets close on the money, it's Baltimore.

Akbar never played for the Packers. You're thinking of Kabeer. Akbar is an LA guy; played with the Raiders for a couple years, originally from LA, and went to school in San Diego. He had also hinted earlier that Bell will sign with the Ravens.

I don't think a top WR exists in this market, but for what it's worth, I think the WRs currently available are just as good as the ones that have already signed.

I would still guess he ends up with the Jets. I don't buy the Colts, Bills, or Texans as really being interested in him and I just don't know that Green Bay offers the money that the Jets do. Think a Shady trade would be closer to Shady and a 6th for a 5th or something.

I'm guessing this is just Bell's agent using Buffalo's cap space to try to get other teams to offer more, but if this actually were to happen, I'd be okay with it under the following conditions: 1. The deal is mostly a year-to-year contract. 2. The Bills cut both McCoy and Ivory. If those things happen, I still wouldn't be thrilled, but I could be okay with it. No doubt Buffalo could desperately use a weapon and Bell is certainly a weapon.

I've seen the rumors but I think it might just be a smokescreen. Already have Davis, Cohen, and for now, Howard. Seemingly want to move on from Howard so that they don't have to give out a big contract to a RB. I wouldn't be surprised if this is more about re-signing their own, such as Bryce Callahan, or possibly pursuing one of the strong safeties that are out there.

I don't know about the Barr deal, but the Funchess one is only a one year deal and it's less per year than Morse (unless Funchess hits some incentives). Colts had a ton of cap space so they got a young WR on a prove-it deal; nothing to really hate about that.

I think that's a stretch even if we limit it to off ball LBs. There's quite a few that I would probably take over him. Not that they're the end-all-be-all, but PFF for example had him rated around the #40 off-ball LB this season.

Correct. There’s been multiple deals already today worse than the Funchess one. That’s my point. It’s not really that bad because if it’s doesnt work out, he’s gone in a year anyways. Like the Jags for example just worked their asses off to clear cap space and now they’re screwed for at least 2 or 3 years lol

Funchess is an overpay, but a one year deal of an overpay isn’t a big deal. There’s some serious potential for Buffalo to hand out a deal like this, but 4 years instead of 1.

To be fair that’s with incentives. We don’t know what the base is yet. I bet Buffalo hands out a worse contract by the end of this.

I’d guess around 4 years $52-56 million for Tyrell

Hopefully this means one or two of our other old RBs are getting cut.

Literally one of the highest rated RBs in the league last year lol

Yeah, that was my exact thought. He was the one I least wanted and I continue to expect one of the slot guys to get a raw deal, so hopefully that one ends up here.

Granted Humphries didn't look like much coming out of Clemson either, but this is one of those deals where you have to decide how much certainty is worth. If you sign Humphries, you know you're getting a good slot WR. Renfrow could be, but he didn't really do much at all in college. Everything about Henfrow from an athletic and a production standpoint suggests he won't do anything in the NFL, but that was the case with Humphries too so who knows?

He'd be a fit because Zay is a backup caliber WR and Humphries is a starter.

Sure it was! Nice recovery! My bad haha; too many ignorant people comparing every white WR to one another ?

He's really nothing like Hogan at all and is also a significantly better player than Hogan.

Was probably shaping up to be his worst season to date lol. I guess the idea with him is that if he ever learns how to tackle, he could be good because he has pretty good range and he's a solid blitzer, but he's among the league leaders in missed tackles every season.

That is ***** insane. He's now (until Mosley signs) easily the highest paid ILB in the NFL and he's been a below average starter on one of the worst defenses of all-time.
