My friends are deliriously happy about Tampa getting Tom Brady. I’m just kind of eh. These are the Bucs, even when they make good decisions they don’t work out.

Overpaid for Fant? Not really. It’s such a team friendly contract he’s signed, we can dip out after one year and bastelt pay anything. he has potential. I think the idea he only had 1 year of college football works hugely in his favour, his stats show him as poor, but it Is improving and could be astute.

Signing the Guard from the Broncos Connor McGovern, is nice business on 3 for $27m. He’s made every snap last year, which is massive for Darnold.

Lewis in, that’s smart too. They Jets aren’t anywhere near Super Bowl Calibre, but unlike the New Yorkers, I’m happy we haven’t overspent in the off-season. Still annoyed we didn’t make more of a pass at Conklin for $14m a year.

We’ll see how the draft goes, but need some receivers big time for Darnold now.

28 starts in his three year career. Miss 2017 with a blown out knee. Almost exclusively used as an extra blocking TE to bolster the run game last season.

I mean I think he's an incredible story. College hoops player that we took a chance on to play tackle in the NFL.

His comps athletically align with some of those expected to go in the first half of the 1st round of the upcoming draft.

That said I think he's getting $13.5 in the first year. An incredible payday for a very likeable guy. Is he an actual starting LT for a decent NFL team? That is the question.

I sincerely hope he succeeds. Would just make his already incredible story that much better.

He’s not who is have went for. I don’t think Douglass is done either. Just being sensible. I feel with the Jets cause they’re so bad, they always try to appease the fans and “win” the free agency, but it never works out and they end up with a load of bums and jags on over inflated prices.

Giving Fant that deal works for both us and him. If he works hard, he’ll stay for for three. The contract is filled with clauses so the more snaps and appearances, the more money. It’s win win.

He’s got huge upside, and he’s missed a lot. But as you said, he’s played one year of college ball, and was expected to be NFL ready? No way. Then he had injuries, he could just need that extra time and whilst he’ll never Be elite, he could be a very handy signing.
 
Bears making more seemingly dumb moves, Ryan pace and matt Nagy will be unemployed if they don't pay off with a good play off run.

NFC West is going to be tough to win.

I think the 49ers remain the strongest team. Seattle is a regression candidate, Arizona still has to show they can play with good teams and the Rams have a weak roster outside a few stars. Long way to go yet though.
 

Gutted we let Buckner leave.
With Sanders still up in the air, I wonder if we draft a WR or chase a Marquee signing.

OBJ is unhappy at the Browns and we have courted him often enough.
