Parrino was reporting interest as well and he at least has a face

Looks like: Wawrow: 1 ProFootball411: 0

Wawrow said we aren't pursuing him at all. Seems to think he ends up in KC or Denver but was sure to say he is not an option for us.

Yeah, if the money is anything crazy, I would prefer to just go with the cheaper option of a guy like Dion (though I think he in particular will have multiple suitors that might make more sense). If it's a moderate 1-2 year deal though, I'd be pretty tempted by a guy like Gordon just because he can be the 3rd down guy while also being a productive runner in his own right. Really all depends on the price IMO.

I'm definitely not banging the table for a free agent RB. But to answer your question, I think it's mainly two things (at least from my perspective): We know McBeane generally prefers having a veteran in the room/prefers filling in needs in free agency, so I think it's just assumed we'll pick one up. Transitioning from college to the NFL isn't easy as far as being a 3rd down back goes. That, to me, is what we should be trying to fix in free agency. Gordon would help in that regard. So would someone like Dion Lewis, Chris Thompson, Buck Allen, Devontae Booker, Bilal Powell etc.

I would imagine he just signs a 1 year deal in the hopes that he gets paid next offseason. Something like 1 year $6-8 million.

If the money is the same between him and Gordon (and assuming it's a 1-2 year deal which is what I expect both of them to eventually sign), I would prefer we sign Gurley.

Probably no less than that ProFootball411 one. I think Parrino is the only one that's actually reputable.

For one year, it really doesn't matter. We probably just about done with signings anyways. I'd rather give him $9 million this year than the other idea of $5 million this year and a big increase next year.

If there were ever a team that was set up to succeed no matter who the QB was, it was the Rams. Instead, they gave Goff the richest contract a QB had ever received and sacrificed their OL and are now contemplating sacrificing their WRs and RBs as well so that they can continue paying Goff. Being stuck in the middle of the QB world is the worst spot to be in because you end up paying for an elite QB without actually having one.

Or, and I'm just spit balling here, it could be due to them having Beasley (the worst of the 3) rated as the #36 WR in the league.

Based on what I thought pre-draft: Burrow Tua Allen Love Herbert I think I'd probably order them the same way if we're talking present-day Allen.

Really depends on what the other trios look like when the dust settles: Tampa: Evans, Godwin, ??? Cleveland: OBJ, Landry, ??? Kansas: Tyreek, Sammy, Hardman/rookie Dallas: Cooper, Gallup, ??? Atlanta: Julio, Ridley, ??? Arizona: Hopkins, Fitz, Kirk Rams: Kupp, Woods, Cooks Assuming they get a decent #3 option, I think Tampa, Cleveland, KC, and Arizona are probably better. We'll see if the Rams ultimately keep Cooks or not; if they do, they're better as well.

I'm fine with a short-term deal if he gets cut. Looks like the Rams are starting to feel the pain of giving Goff the contract they did.

I think he's probably too good to be an ideal backup for Allen. It's fine to be looking for an upgrade from Barkley, but we probably don't want a legitimate starter either.

Agreed. I just personally don't like this edge class all that much, but it's not my speciality either. Seems like the general consensus is that Anae, Okwara, and Weaver could be decent options there -shrugs-

I think we're pretty much in a position now where there's no huge need that we absolutely need to address. I think WR might be BPA but I feel like we probably won't go that direction. I think safety/CB is the most likely direction. If Dugger/Winfield/maybe Chinn are there at 54, I would guess they're the pick. I still like Amik Robertson as a fit for us a lot but Round 2 might be too high for him. RB could also be BPA but I would probably pass unless one of the top 4 is there (Swift, Taylor, CEH, Dobbins).

I'll believe they're tanking when it happens, but FWIW, a friend of mine in Boston is saying there's a lot of buzz that Gilmore is available and if they can move him for a 1st, demolition will commence.

I think you have to take the Bucs, at least until we know what the Patriots are going to look like next season. They still have a path to being good but it's obviously much more difficult now. The Bucs will likely be a powerhouse on paper at least. We'll see how it all comes together but I would tend to think they should be a double-digit win team this season.

They have roughly $30 million in cap space and I’m not sure AB would cost much even if space was limited. He’ll be lucky to find a job at all.

I wouldn't touch him with their 1st pick personally. I think they either move up for Tua or wait to see who's available in the 2nd round/late 1st.

I wouldn't assume that New England is interested in Dalton.

As official as any of the moves that occur in the tampering window, yeah.

So much for all the people out there that thought we could get Foles & a 2nd round pick for free lol
