One sleeper team for RB LeVeon Bell: The #Raiders. Hell have a ton of suitors, but Oakland will be ready and is willing to spend for star power even after acquiring Antonio Brown.
MikeGarafolo re: Adam Humphries and Kwon Alexander

Both about to get paid too. Humphries will flirt with $10m per year. And it sounds like Alexander, despite his ACL tear last year, is going to clear that threshhold by a significant margin.
Then TB is foolish. Hes a nice slot WR. However with Evans, Godwin, and Howard - hes sometimes your 4th option. Ridiculous to pay that amount to someone if that value.
And if he gets 10, imagine what SS will want next year? Again, I am not sure why many on BBI would think he would get a reasonable contract.

The Bucs aren't going to give it to him. I'd assume Shepard is going to get right around what Humphries does.

The #Lions plan to sign former #Patriots and #Dolphins WR Danny Amendola to a 1-year deal that includes $4.5M guaranteed base, source said. With incentives, that can bring him to $5.75M. Great addition to the locker room.
The free agent negotiating period begins today. Giants concentration will be on defense, particularly on pass rushers. Expected to be in the market ZaDarius Smith and Preston Smith.
How? Dont they have less than the NYG to work with, cap wise? Theyre entire team essentially consists of high priced vets and a Wentz deal is on the horizon.
anything close to $10M per season? Spotrac's market value tool is nice, but (IMO) it's comparing the wrong receiving stats. Targets and Receptions aren't particularly useful measures of WRs ability by themselves and those are 2 of the stats most in his favor relative to his comps (Baldwin, Lockett, Stills, Lee). But noticeably absent from Spotrac's stats is Yards/Reception (or yards/tgt) which is a much better representation of a WRs value. In that metric Humphries averages a full 2 yards less (16%) than the worst of his comps. In that regard, he's much closer to Cole Beasley as a player who Spotrac didn't even think merited a "Market Analysis".
And it's definitely not good if you're a SS fan as he's a significantly better player than Humphries. Shepard's y/r are still a tick below those other 4, but he's trending upwards here (10.5 as a rookie, 12.4 and then 13.2 last season) and he's much better at finding the endzone than Humphries: 14 TDs vs 9 TDs despite one less season. Not to mention his outstanding run blocking.

Agreed. It's not fantasy football. Locker Room. mentoring, playoff/SB experience, being a professional, are all parts of it.
no one says locker room and mentoring aren't important
but they're not things that teams need to pay a premium for. Doubt teams were lining up for Stewart last year or Amendola this year. Both guys likely could've been signed for half of what they were given.
That said, the Stewart signing also isn't worth all the hand wringing (either way) so I'll refrain from responding to this any further.
Mauro and Martin were brought here, first, to fill out the roster during defensive overhaul, and second, based on talent.
Last year they had a new coordinator implementing a new defensive front. They needed bodies to fill out the 3-4 scheme they were changing to and with the salary cap limitations and X number of picks through the draft, you can't switch from 4-3 to a 3-4 and sign a top player at every position. They needed guys on the field last spring and summer and throughout the season who already had knowledge of what Betcher is trying to do to expedite the transition.

Bodies and people who knew the scheme already. You can't have a roster of people who are all learning the scheme (some who are learning any pro scheme for the first time). Think of them as Teacher Assistants. It wasn't about bigtime play but guys who knew what the play was supposed to be and where they and others were supposed to line up and what responsibilities they had.
he was an excellent player in 2015 in Bettcher's creation of the hybrid LB/S role and since (and particularly since JBs departure), he has been rather ordinary

That's borderline starter $ and they have to feel he will compete with Pio for the Center job and must be a consideration for backup IOL if that's the case. However, I doubt all of that is guaranteed.

The risk with signing him to a big contract are very obvious - 1) What if betcher doesn't survive and this regime implodes 2) his performance has dropped off.
On a team friendly deal for say 2 years that's a strong signing. On a 4 year deal I would argue against it, unless the end of the contract was easily escapable without a lot of dead money.

There are 21 Cs making >$3M per year. Throw in guys on their rookie deals (any C drafted outside the 1st is making <$3M/year) and you're talking very low end starter or backup C money. It's slightly more than Brett Jones (comparable player) signed for last year and just about Wisniewski's $2.6M (backup G/C for Eagles) which he signed for back in 2017.
I started to believe Bucanan would be a likely target. He does what Collins can in the box in terms of coverage, and plays LB in Bettcher's 3-4. He fits the hybrid/swiss army knife type Defender Bettcher wants. Plus, bet he comes in cheaper than the franchise tag would have been for Collins.

Somehow I bet it was structured so the cap hit this year is lower than 3.2 mil. Also cutting him a year later probably wont carry alot of dead money.

Why would he guarantee? Because it pays him upfront rather than per game. It's unlikely to reduce his money in any way.
Why would the team do it? Extra cap space to sign some additional FAs.

Ivan - teams do this all of the time. The player gets paid the same money, but up front as a "Bonus". This will spread the money for this year over 3 years given the team more money for this years cap. No harm to the player.

Flooded with Safeties. Wow.
Hopefully, supply/demand brings the price tag down for some of these guys
is banged up a lot and really not any good. Be wary of tandem guys who come off as options looking better only because they play alongside a stud (Harrison Smith as example).

Teams have ALOT of money to burn. Its gonna drive prices up especially in the first wave. Its why last year (from what I remember) we only really struck once for a critical position (LT) and then waited for wave 2 and 3 before striking again in FA.

3 yrs/$10M...has his play fallen off that much?
I think it is 3ys $30 mil, $10 mil a season. If the bulk is guaranteed then that is a big deal.

Im curious to see if they will lower Kevin Zeitlers bass salary down to the guaranteed money hes due, which is around $3.5M. And I remain curious to see if they do anything with Eli Mannings number.
To what purpose? And why would he agree? He has a contract.

Why would he guarantee? Because it pays him upfront rather than per game. It's unlikely to reduce his money in any way.
Why would the team do it? Extra cap space to sign some additional FAs.

Flooded with Safeties. Wow.
12 pm I think.
That's Wednesday. Tampering begins at noon. Today is the day where we hear where many are headed.

Ivan - teams do this all of the time. The player gets paid the same money, but up front as a "Bonus". This will spread the money for this year over 3 years given the team more money for this years cap. No harm to the player.

could be next QB in Miami.. Wow.
The tank is being assembled as we speak in South Florida.
Some very good CBs in MN too. Sendejo's more like a poor man's Collins anyway. Not particularly good in coverage.

#Buccaneers LB Kwon Alexander texted a group of his Tampa teammates a short while ago telling them he's going to miss them, source says. We'll see where he winds up but he's obviously not expecting it to be Tampa. Deal expected to be in the $12m/$13m per year range.

I like Kwon Alexander...a lot, despite the injury, but 12M/13M for a guy coming off an ACL tear? Will he even be ready for camp?

That's Keuchly type money. I am sure someone is going to pay it, but damn!
Remmers is a very interesting name. Looks like he actually beat out Daryl Williams at RT for Williams' first two seasons.

Teams have ALOT of money to burn. Its gonna drive prices up especially in the first wave. Its why last year (from what I remember) we only really struck once for a critical position (LT) and then waited for wave 2 and 3 before striking again in FA.
This year it might be the ER and maybe a RT then strike in wave 2 or 3 for the other guys.

Given the influx of available safeties right now, I don't know how much more he thinks he is going to get.

That's fine by me. No thanks on 14 million a year. Any other Safety targets?
