The Browns have to be working with some sort of edict that says "win 6 games or get fired, no matter what." If I knew i needed to win at least 6 games, Taylor is more than a safe bet for that. Landry is going to probably be significantly overpaid, but he's great at catching the ball and should be a solid safety net. I'd say they're turning the corner but they are the browns.

Are the Vikings looking to go with a 4 QB offense? Or have I missed something and they already have a deal to move Bridgewater, Keenum, or Bradford?
edit: forgot Keenum was a FA edit2: hell, I didn't realize all three were FAs

I really don't get the Vikings/Cousins romance. After last year's performance you go with the guy who wasn't even on the team? "Scrappy underdog team over-performs with nobody and replaces him with highest cost free agent" also seems like a sports narrative that ends in failure 4-out-of-5 times.

Problem is Keenum is going to get overpaid as well, Bradford is a walking season ending injury and who knows if Bridgewater is ever coming back anything close to what he was before the injury.
I don't disagree, but I also think the other narratives are just as likely to end in failure. |

Truth. And in truth Keenum is the only one of those that I'd actually want to take a(nother) chance on, but I suppose the argument for Keenum's familiarity glosses over the fact that the Vikings also know his limitations better than anybody else.

I think in a vacuum, or for literally any other team I'm in total agreement, Cousins is the better QB. The only thing that makes me question the move is the fact that system/continuity SEEMS to count for a lot in football and it seems like big-ticket Free Agency QBs fail more often than not because nobody adjusts their expectations or makes any allowance for that transition...but that assumption isn't based on any kinds of research or facts rather than the hot air in my butt. That said, it seems like QBs AND high priced free agents fail at a higher rate in Washington, so Cousins repeated success in those environments might point to his ability to withstand those particular concerns better than the typical FA QB.

I think my optimal play would be Keenum and Bridgewater on deals that are highly incentivized , but whether you can pull that off is another matter. I don't think the market for Bridgewater will be there, Keenum will depend on whether a bunch of teams like him better than guys like Foles and McCarron.

So apparently the Vikings have called Drew Brees to gauge his interest in signing with them.

And Keenum to Denver, sounds like. Pretty decent bridge for a QB in the first.

Hope we don't pick a QB in the first or second now. Rather we trade back with Bills the 5th overall and get the 12th and 22nd. Then get McGlinchey and Will Hernandez. Then get a RB and I'll in the second and third. Draft someone developmental in the end of third or early 4th like White or kid from Washington St etc. Denver is not just a QB away from competing and the Keenum signing is a good sign that Elway is honest with the fans they are a ways off. |

Hopefully the Broncos go with the guard from Notre Dame in the first, draft a QB later. Have to fix that offensive line.

Bears apparently have a deal in place with Allen Robinson.
Which means, the top 3 WR's for the Bears, such as they are, go like so: Allen Robinson - ACL Tear Cameron Meredith - ACL Tear Kevin White - Med School Case Study |

The teams in the back half of the top 10 or so who don't need a QB are sitting on a goldmine. Not only for the trade potential if one of the QBs falls, but teams like the Niners and Raiders are going to get top 5 non-QB talent while sitting at 9 and 10.

OBJ is an injury prone head case who's gonna cost top dollar. It takes some balls to do this, but the Giants should let him walk. Dedicating your cap to a WR is already not the best idea. Dedicating it to a WR who's great for the 11 games per year he's not injured and who is constantly causing distractions is a bad play. Let him go destroy some other team's cap and chemistry. |

well I had hoped my beloved Cards would sign one of the free agent QB's (because you know they have zero on the roster), but this one perhaps would have been last on my list:
Sam Bradford intends to sign with the Arizona Cardinals Too much of an injury history to be a good fit there, especially with recent history to Palmer and anyone else suiting up at QB. I hope they are still going after a QB in the first round.

It sounds like Keenum deal is for basically a two-year deal for $18 million/year and after that it would be a team option so that maybe is ok if we draft a QB project in the mid rounds. I really hope we don't get sucked into drafting one in the first and instead trade back to fix oline.

That's a whole lot of coin for Sammy Watkins. Not even sure he's that good. 750 yards a season and 6 touchdowns. 16 million dollars a year.

Not the best crew, but the gamble is worth it. If Robinson and Meredith come back and play well, that's a solid start. Adding TE Burton and resigning Inman would give Trubisky more targets and would keep them from drafting a WR early. They need to focus on the defense and the OL.

Jets giving $10MM to McCown for another season.
I wonder what Bridgewater was looking for. Considering they're not guaranteed to get their future QB at #6, I'd think they would at least take a shot at some upside with Teddy. |

Jets have nearly 90M in cap space. Makes sense to sign the guy that did fairly ok as bridge for one more year if they don't get touchdown Teddy. They certainly do not appear to be doing shit else with the money.

Didnt expect the Vikings to get Cousins. At the possible expense of letting some key defensive players become free agents.
On the other hand it is nice to know that the team is serious about wanting a Super Bowl title and will take chances to get to that point. Nice to see Keenum get rewarded. I dont know that he could have played any better this past season but I dont think the falloff with be as steep as some are expecting either. |

So the Niners are paying Jerrick McKinnon and Kyle Jusczyk over 10 million against the cap for the next few years? That front office is a puzzling mix of insanity and brilliance.
There's no way you couldn't find a McKinnon in the third or fourth round of the draft rather than paying him 7-8 million a year. |

DOLA - the only RB with a larger cap hit than McKinnon is now Shady. That is just bizarre, we faxed the wrong guy a contract kind of stuff.

Maybe the Colts are just waiting for free agency to start before they start making deals with free agents?

well the Cards QB class now consists of Bradford, and the newly signed Mike Glennon, who after last season shouldn't be on anyone's want list. Just not getting their plan here-if they choose now not to go QB in the 1st round.
Oh and the Vikings traded for Trevor Sieman. McCarron to the Bills

Well Ballard isn't building the team via free agency, might as well do it during the draft. I definitely have a positive first impression to this trade as a Colt fan.
I figured the Colts would trade the pick, but I really didn't expect it to happen until they were on the clock.
