#Seahawks WR Tyler Lockett is remaining with Seattle on a restructured deal, source says: Two years, $30 million with a max value of $34 million with nearly $13 million guaranteed this year.
@KatzBrosSports
.
Deal is expected to be the highest average salary ever given to an NFL defensive tackle.
Leonard Williams only gets helped by this as a free agent. Giants still need to replace him.

The Giants have $38.4M in cap space with free agency set to begin tomorrow, according to the NFLPA. That's the 15th most cap space in the league.
The Giants haven't re-signed any of their free agents yet. They made a few low-cost re-signings in the 24 hours before FA started last year (Shepard, Gillan, Kreiter), so it'll be interesting to see if they knock out any of those today/tomorrow morning.
Remember when the hoopla in that draft was around Jones and Lance and both are off their respective teams just three seasons later.

What are you reminding us of, exactly? Is this your idea of saying you think it’s stupid to draft QBs?
At some point you’re going to have to come to the reality that we can play this bust game with every single position

Toth has not been a DJFC member. It is a fair warning not to get overhyped about a QB class if there isn’t talent around them.

So it’s your opinion too that they should never draft a QB too because they are too risky. Got it.
Mike in NY saying that the QBs are “overhyped” doesn’t really provide a compelling reason to avoid this QB class. Sorry

I'm fully on board with drafting a kid and at #6 (or a move up if necessary). Jones had had too many and critical injuries for Joe to ignore. I do remember many on this board, however, getting excited over so many prospects like Fields, for example, and he has a worse win percentage than Jones. Also shows how often busts do occur at the top and many times it's due to bad situations. I do like Daboll and hope he gets things right.
Mike in NY, that man was ready to move on from Eli.

Where did I ever say that? There are a number of QB’s that intrigue me in this draft (JD and JJM the most in Round 1), but that doesn’t mean that I am not cognizant that they can bust as well like any position. Hopefully Daboll, Schoen, Hickey, and company make the correct decision.

That’s fine. But again, I see no purpose for “reminding” anyone that QBs bust sometimes. You honestly think you are breaking news there? The fact is, Mac Jones and Trey Lance have absolutely nothing to do with whether any other QB in this class will bust. Maybe they will. Maybe they won’t. But if I’m a GM I’m not avoiding a QB I like because of Mac Jones…
PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, good luck with that...
Definitely smart to move Bosa. Guy can't stay healthy, and he looks like he takes off every other play - to me - when he does play.
Chargers: 21M over
Bills: 15M over
Saints: 11M over
49ers: less than 1M over
Ravens: less than 1M over
Chiefs: under but with good DL UFA
a Mahomes re-structure would help them re-sign everybody though
They want to extend the contract of Osa Odigizuhwa plus work on extension to Lamb.
Starting discussion point on Dak’s contract extension being floated about is 5 years $300 million $240 million guaranteed. Tidy sum!!!!

I think, unless they agree to take much of his contract like how the Raiders did for Waller, the Chargers may be forced to cut Mack rather than find a suitor for his cap hit ($38.5 mil).
The Chargers are in a pickle with their cap and losing great players. I figured Alt could be there for them but they may want to address OLB or WR also. It's probably their best interest to trade down and try to acquire more top 100 picks if possible.

Actually I think you can add Lawrence and Fields

JFC. This is where Schoen needs to clean it up. If he drafts a QB and it doesn't look like its working out after 3 years, cut bait.
It was smart of the Giants to keep Jones, he is a top tier qb. The know drafting a qb at 6 or trading for some old, used up qb would set the franchise back 5 years. Hopefully this draft will bring in some young players who can come in an start immediately and make the Giants a better team.
With all due respect Jack, we've already been set back 5 years with Jones. Drafting a QB high in the draft doesn't guarantee the same 5 years of crap football.
Agreed
When he came back BEFORE he tore the ACL, there were observations that his throwing motion had changed and he couldn't hit the side of a barn accurately.
That may be a big reason why they brought R. Wilson in.
If they sign a more than serviceable vet AND draft a QB, Jones is likely to be inactive all season, then cut.
Get use to it, that's likely how this plays out.

LAC are definitely a team that should move down by selling their slot to the highest bidder.

Former Eagles and Titans S Kevin Byard is signing.a two-year deal with the Bears, as

reported.
Hard for DB's to go to another team midseason, learn it and be as successful. I still think he has some good years left. He's better than a Logan Ryan.

But you have to admit we see more busts/flakes up in the top 10/1st rounders than we do QB's who are considered successful.
If Daboll likes and wants a Drake Maye or JJ at #6, do it, go for it.

2022 had one QB picked in the 1st two rounds and if that QB was in this class he would be 7th best.
"The #Raiders and C Andre James have a 3-year deal for him to remain in Las Vegas, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. James gets $24M over 3 years with $16M guaranteed in a contract done by @gsefootball agents @davidcanter, @NessMugrabi, and @IanGrutman. Roughly $10M in year 1."

How does that work out to be $10 million/year? Are there incentives that are not counted?

Says year 1.....
If he can play RG this would be a great signing. We need to solidify the right side.
