2024 Free agency and draft thread

Rams would incur a $27M dead cap hit by trading Kupp, not going to happen.

Well yeah, i was joking

 

[Shanemansj13]

Gotta add LB to the list. At least 3 LB's, BAL can never have too many LB's

 

[ducky]

Pats need a QB badly.
Vikings would give up all of their future for the #3 QB on the board. Seems unlikely. That means they like all of the top 3 QB's. Jayden or Maye.

Doesn't seem crazy Pats moving back if they do think everyone not named Caleb is overhyped.

Yeah the franchise that traded away a dynasty to Dallas for a broken down RB would never be so stupid! I mean would never be so stupid....again.

Well if they did do it maybe they pay JJ $30M or send him away for 2 1st’s to some of that capital back…meh pay JJ $40M

They will restructure every year. The Browns cap number will be a myth for the next 2-3 years. Last year they were near the bottom and ended up top 3. Same this year

Yep...say what ya will about him, but pays to have an owner with a will to win who will spend whatever is needed.

Very rude of the Patriots to steal my idea:

Maybe you like this rumor better @Fountain City Blues

As we all know, Chade Henne Goat is a reliable source!

Not many sources I trust much this time of the year, but they are fun to consider any how.

And then give them a combined 8 carries in the AFC championship game.

Can they afford him? He's wanting some serious guarantees in multiple years. I think that would be the only reason the Vikings are even entertaining the idea trading him.

Of course, don’t them when they already have a RB at QB

 

[shopson67]

Both seem pretty terrible. You'd have to be extremely confident in the idea that there are exactly 3 franchise QBs in the draft to make that move.

That's pretty much the consensus, right? Caleb/Maye/Daniels? More serious warts on the rest.

I would be surprised if the Pats wanted to trade down that far. Future 1sts are great, but trading out of the top 10 likely costs your team a blue chip prospect in this draft, whether at QB, OL or WR.

...or if they're intending to take the ex Vikes QB too?

Fake news.

Breaking news? Sounds more like breaking wind.

It's just made up BS no doubt, just like the one about the Patriots trading for JJ. I imagine we'll see various other teams named as trade partners with a little more time.

'Hey, I know it looks like we totally gave up on our coach at the end of the season, but come to Philly. Great cheesesteaks!'

I suspect this will come down entirely to who gives him the most money. And I dont blame him.

Eagles have $21M in cap space without much room to restructure, and they need to pay their draft picks. I'm guessing he wants to actually get paid.
