Maybe he can afford a haircut if he gets $50 million

Putting him on the roster just means they have to then find another QB that can stay on the field ... but good roster decisions aren't exactly a franchise trademark either.

Ksyrup · 03-09-2026, 12:06 PM

Imagine it's the end of the 2022 season and somebody tells you that in about 3 years, the Dolphins are going to release Tua with a $99M cap hit and pay Malik Willis $68M.

Atocep · 03-09-2026, 12:21 PM

I like how the legal tampering period just moved up the illegal tampering.

Daniel Jones trying to go for Kirk Cousins' lifetime earnings crown?

Atocep · 03-09-2026, 02:04 PM

3 years and $30 mil for Devin Bush seems like a steal honestly. Great fit for the DA defense and adds some sorely needed speed at LBer.

There is not anybody out there they were going to get this year that is any better, This is a sink or swim season for Penix. It is good to have a vet to push him a bit, and both being left handed actually makes sense. I don't see how this is worse decision than bringing in Flaco who would also be a one and done guy. Tua will be basically free.

I said they should have franchise tagged him, but they got cute and transition tagged him. That's going to end up costing them lots of money. He is by far the best gettable option right now for QB, and that means someone is going to overpay. And yes, is going to end up with lifetime earnings crown and won't even will have had as many decent season as Cousins.

JPhillips · 03-09-2026, 03:23 PM

Cook is a big upgrade for the Bengals at safety. Missed tackles were their number one problem and he's a very sure tackler.

Now to get people to help make sure fewer runners get to the safeties.

Thomkal · 03-09-2026, 03:25 PM

Cards sign RB Tyler Allgeier from the Falcons and they also re-did RB Jame Connor's contract. I guess we are all set for RB now, yeah?

Lathum · 03-09-2026, 03:28 PM

Kelce coming back. Color me surprised. I thought he would just settle for jet setting around the world with his soon to be wife.

JPhillips · 03-09-2026, 03:30 PM

And now Boye Mafe to the Bengals as well.

Seems like a lot of bank for him, but he's also easily their best pass rusher now.

Loved that guy. He is a speedy bowling ball of a runner. Such a good deal for a low-mileage vet.

It's a catch-22. In a corporate merger - which is exactly what this is - his claim to fame is football, so when he gives that up, he's less useful to her.

Ksyrup · 03-09-2026, 04:57 PM

Not exactly loving Denver's (non) moves so far. Running it back with the worst TE room in the NFL, bringing back Dobbins for 6-8 games, and losing Franklin-Meyer. Maybe there's a splash deal for Achane or a true #1 WR or big draft day moves, but... meh.

A guy with the name Pittman deserves to be in Pittsburgh.

Still I wish the Colts would've got more than a 6th round pick.

Might be interesting to see what the Manning family would do if the Jets end up with the #1 pick. Pull an Eli or Elway? Yes, it's New York, but it's also the Jets.

Also I don't know enough about NIL or college eligibility in today's world. Could Arch play another year in college if he wanted to?

Yeah, he's got another year of eligibility after the upcoming season.

He redshirted 2023, has played 2 seasons, upcoming would be third, so he could do that if he wanted to.

GrantDawg · 03-10-2026, 07:10 PM

So I guess Crosby isn't going to the Ravens.

Danny · 03-10-2026, 07:19 PM

They obviously knew he was rehabbing. Seems like a cold feet situation. Has this happened before with a blockbuster deal?

Thomkal · 03-10-2026, 07:21 PM

Failed his physical then? Ow

GrantDawg · 03-10-2026, 07:31 PM

They are blaming it on the medical. May have just been cold feet, or it was something they didn't expect showed up.

Danny · 03-10-2026, 07:36 PM

Wouldn't be aurprised if they sign Hendrickson tomorrow and figure he and two firsts is better than Crosby

JPhillips · 03-10-2026, 07:45 PM

Not used to the Ravens being a complete cluster. They are still top two in the Horth, but this has been a very bad off season so far.

Personally, I'd like no other team to trade for Crosby, forcing the Raiders to choose which of the FAs they just signed they will need to un-sign due to salary cap implications.

"The Raiders and Ravens had a blockbuster deal announced. But it fell through because one of the teams was a clown show."

ME: "That makes sense. Ever since Al Davis passed away. . ."

"The clown show team was the Ravens"

This is interesting but I don't believe the Raiders get to 'choose' like you describe. My understanding is that if a team is over the announced cap at the beginning of the league new year (today at 4 PM EST I think?) the NFL starts voiding contracts in reverse chronological order until the team is under the cap. And I think this has only happened a few times since the salary cap inception in the 1990s.

BTW, this is not how its programmed in any of the FOFs but I wish it was.

Ksyrup · 03-11-2026, 08:35 AM

Picked one guy off the shelf and then walked down the next aisle and saw a prettier version.

That's fine. I doubt they lined up their FA signings in a way that would ensure they kept the guys they most wanted on the off-chance the Crosby trade was nixed.

But regardless of how it plays out, I think this is an issue right now, right? Is someone about to get Crosby in a deadline fire sale deal?

Jstraub · 03-11-2026, 08:42 AM

Its definitely an issue and super shading dealing by the Ravens. The ravens screwed over not only the Raiders but the domino effect of that presumed trade had far reaching effects to many teams and players. I cant imagine the NFL doesn't step in here and do something.

Alternatively, if we assume normalcy and it's the Raiders who are the tire fire team and the Ravens who are not, is it possible that the Ravens had more specialists look at Crosby's injury situation, and more in-depth, and came to conclusions they didn't like?

Lol they actually are still under the cap even with Crosby back

Danny · 03-11-2026, 09:00 AM

They are at 37 million in cap space after Crosby is back but before Stokes and Quay Walker contracts announced. So figure about 20 million left afrer all signings based on how they've been structuring the contracts.

Ksyrup · 03-11-2026, 09:07 AM

Too bad. I wanted CHAOS!

albionmoonlight · 03-11-2026, 10:44 AM

It’s a 2-year, $88 million deal that can be worth up to $100 million, as @Schultz_Report reported. https://t.co/jCeBNWCSYK

The Colts treating Daniel freakin' Jones like he's Pat Mahomes about to get away from them has been the funniest part of this offseason.

dubb93 · 03-11-2026, 10:46 AM

That actually slots him in nicely on the QB salary chart right in between Mahomes and Stafford.

dubb93 · 03-11-2026, 10:48 AM

Deep down I was hoping they would take a chance on Kyler with a minimum contract and ink Hendrickson and an affordable WR to replace Pittman.
