Low Positive

But I have it on good authority from some TBD posters that the Saints mismanaged the cap so badly that they can't afford to sign anyone.

Well, Mike Brown will be quick to inform everyone that all three of those players are under contract with the Bengals next year. Nobody HAS to be extended now.

Or, Benford might be waiting for Sauce and Surtain to be extended and thereby driving the market for corners up.

Jerry Jones does this because he's a control freak who treats his players like hired help. Mike Brown does this because he doesn't have the cash to pay the signing bonus to circumvent the cap.

Cooper Kupp may be a former Superbowl MVP, but is he even the best Cooper? I mean, Cooper Newby-Stock read a whole 24-chapter book. Has Cooper Kupp ever read a 24-chapter book?

Easy. Be a Dolphins fan. They hate Josh Allen like we used to hate Brady.

A contingent of posters here wanted to take Roquon Smith at 12 and wait for Rudolph with KC's first. They argued about "draft value."

It's part of a larger problem in that it's indicative of a team whose primary motivation is not winning football games.

Two things can be true: Mike Brown never had any intention of trading him, so he set the bar where it knew it would never be met. Hendrickson is probably worth a first. Why is Hendrickson only worth a second, but Myles Garrett would have fetched multiple firsts? I know Garrett is the better player but, at least based on production over the past 5 seasons, the gap is not that big. I think people, including NFL GMs, still take draft positioning into account when assessing value.

People were damn sure that this signing meant that Ty Johnson was gone. That produced a lot of really hot takes for about two hours.

Zach Wilson got 3x that from Miami.

Cody was a second-rounder who is still in the league. He just resigned with Cincinnati.

Most valuable punching bag?

This is what I mean by deck chair shuffling Harris to the Chargers Gainwell to the Steelers AJ Dillon to the Eagles Nobody got better. Just different.

In a move that seems to have fallen between the cracks here at TBD, the Broncos signed Evan Engram. 2 years, 23 Million with 16.5 guaranteed.

So much shuffling of the desk chairs going on right now:

Did we know this?

I love how Schefter totally pimps for the agents. Fans don't care Adam!

But you can read the tea leaves and learn that he's going to Pittsburgh:

You know this board will melt down when Elam gets an INT in Dallas.

The gift that keeps on giving

Fifth for Elam and a 6th.

I think they're doing something bigger than that, like trading for Aiyuk.

Good shout. I'm surprised that Cole Beasley never played for the Pats. But in all seriousness, Kupp could play the role that Beasley played in Josh's development for Maye.
