I'll take "News That Surprised No One" Alex

Here's the deal, the media doesn't have a ton to say about Allen, so they threw him to the team they don't really want to talk about, that's about it.

65 under contract and not all of them will even make the roster. Getting to 90 is just numbers - we're just gonna sign people with upside at vet mins and rookie FAs. I'm much more concerned with the fact that we still don't have legit candidates for starters at MLB, SLB, CB3 and WR3 (not counting QB in this because you COULD argue we can start McCarron, though I'm not making that argument). Doubtful we can pick up more than 3 solid starters in a single class. I'm hoping we re-sign Gaines and Johnson.

I like Phillips in the 2nd. We still have a desperate need for 2 STARTING LBs though, so that may preclude this.

Consider the poster you're speaking to - 100% troll. He's not worth a 2nd rd pick. That said, if Beane found a way to trade a player to move up that high in the first he would be a legend in my mind. Imagine getting a franchise QB and drafting a sick LB in the first AND having both of our second rounders? Zero chance it happens if we move up IMO, but man that would be a crazy draft.

Meh. Read he was going somewhere he was "wanted." Which is really just code for "my team didn't agree with my overly-inflated asking price." Must have not "wanted" him all that much if he only got a 1 year contract.

I don't think he'd lying at this point in time. He has been focused on FA and has repeatedly stated he's not drafting a QB without getting to know them first. It's a convenient for him to say this now because it's currently true. Once they have private workouts with all the QBs they are interested in, he will know what they are doing. Done signing other team's free agents. He did say we have offers out to Preston and EJ.

Lol, so true.

Well? Did you? I don't register for things...

I read on twitter (can't remember who said it) that several teams called EJ's agent and balked at the price.

Pretty much this exactly. My brain assigns random faces to people on this board for no reason. When I read your posts I see this:

Wait, you're not a boomer? I always pictured you being ancient

Dude, dress someone up like the Night's King or Tormund and post a giant sign that says Winter is Here - players and fans would love that crap.

Thanks OP, appreciate you coming here to post that.

Pats just circumvented FA for McCourty by trading for him. Pouncey's salary is manageable, why to just ship a 7th to the Dolphins for him before they cut him?

that's awesome. Hope that means we have a few more decent FA's to bring in as starters.

I wish I lived in Blo so I could go to games dressed as a wildling. That should absolutely be a thing

We signed him on the barter system obvs.

We might as well run the Wishbone I guess. Worked in the past should work out right?

He's never been invited to one, but he's cool with that cause they're overrated

When I picture you I literally imagine a cloud hanging over your head.

You do realize that 260+lb DEs get tired and can't play every single snap at 100% right? The Giants won a Super Bowl rotating DEs, it's a thing we should have been doing for years.

If the performance escalators kick in that would mean he's playing well, we're not talking about roster bonuses for being on the team each game. Let's be clear, he was brought in to compete for a starting job and at worst play backup. We signed him for a pittance. Arizona just signed Mr. Glass for 20M a year and you know he's not playing a full season. We are drafting a top 2-3 QB. We are in a good position.
