[Lake Shore Drive]

Add all this up and we could very well be looking at the team with the #1 draft pick in '24.

....which is now the baseline for a Lamar contract.

When the Eagles traded Ertz to them it was supposed to be a part of our rebuild and their additional piece to contend.

5 years 179M? Where do the Ravens sign?

LOL, something went dreadfully wrong with that for the Cardinals.

$51M per, 5 years ($260Mish). Guarantee will be the negotiation.

They invested in the wrong coach and QB and now they’re on to their new coach. The new QB will follow soon.

Unless they want to eat substantial dead cap, it may be a few years more with Kyler. Signed thru 2028, 0 dead cap after 2027, $20M after 2026, etc.

Im not fully sure thats how it was. I think they had the worst team in the league, got a decent QB, and instead of rebuilding a team they brought in veterans on a team with a 'worst team in the league' foundation. In 2020 they drafted Isaiah Simmons #8 and they traded away a draft pick that was one pick ahead of Jonathan Taylor. In 2021 they drafted Zaven Collins 16th overall and Rondale Moore in rd2. They traded away the pick before Tyler Smith in the 2022 draft.

They did bring in good veterans and at times looked like a very strong team but they never built depth and they havent drafted all that well.

No compensation yet, but it looks like Allen Robinson to the Steelers

There is a God!

Now I have to redo my Rams mocks, lol. Wondering what they're getting in return, should be relatively decent since the Rams are going to eat some of that salary reportedly. He better pass that physical...

Sure I'm missing some of the details here, but a 6th and Robinson for a 5th is all you can really hope for.

We'll see, it will depend on how much of this year's salary the Rams are eating.

I think Floyd's still a FA too...

Swapping 7th, moving up 17 spots. And Rams are eating 2/3 of his salary. Juicy return.

Robinson not returning is the return. The cap space for 2024 is the real prize (and the $5M this season of Robinson's contract that the Steelers pay this year).

Could very well work out great for the Steelers. Wasn't worth the contract last year. Couldn't reliably get separation.

3-year 45.5 million dollar contract was just stupid.

1-year 5 million, I'm good for a #3 or less WR.

So these upcoming Rams v Cardinals games are going to be the Caleb Williams bowl, I'm guessing.
