Disappointed Kelce is not getting cut.
Any love for RFA RB Mike Gillislee from the Bills?
Jason Kelce likely staying at Center and Isaac Seumalo possibly taking over at LG. Seumalo in for Barbe seems like the one shake-up on the OL. Lane Johnson in for a full season alone will be an improvement on that line. Seumalo was impressive as a rookie and should upgrade LG in his 2nd season.
Interesting... didn't even think about him as an option. Was more effective at times last year than Shady, Gillislee handled most of their short yardage situations. I wouldn't mind giving up a 5th for him - had 9 TDs last season.
Kelce staying.... is disturbing on so many levels. Not only will it continue to plague the OL, running game AND Wentz development - it also says the coaches don't see what the problem is, even when it's this damn obvious. That has the to be absolute WORST news we could get. *sigh*
Kenny Britt?
I like his talents. Always have. Always had to question his commitment though too. He scares me as a contract year player, but he has size and speed and could fit here. Maybe he finally put it all together?
Hmmmmmmmmm, wonder what they want in trade???
Report: Rams shopping Trumaine Johnson
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Rams are in trade "discussions with several teams" about franchise player CB Trumaine Johnson.
Johnson signed his franchise tender on Monday, which will pay him $16.7 million in 2017. The Rams have been reluctant to sign Johnson to a long-term deal, suggesting they see him as a questionable fit under new DC Wade Phillips. One of the better cover corners in football, Johnson would obviously be a huge get for whoever lands him.

There are whispers that the market for Alshon Jeffery will not be as hot as first anticipated, some believing that he might be in play for $10M-12M/yr rather than the $14-$16M that was being thrown about initially.
Thoughts? Does this change some of your views for the Birds to be a serious player for his services if we can get him for $10-12M annually?
Although I like Johnson, we would be in a similar dilemma of having to give him a huge contract plus likely trading draft capital for what would be another big gamble at a position we've not had much luck with lately acquiring big names. I'd rather take my chances on the deep draft class and start to find and develop organic talent.
