Vikes signed Patrick Peterson also, so they are retooling that D. Honestly, I think they will be a tough out next year... their CBs could make the Year 2 jump and their offense got better after their bye.
The Bears are a mess. If Hicks goes, that defense is in trouble. He makes a big difference in gumming up what teams want to do in the middle. Losing Fuller also hurts them, their secondary has fallen off the last few years, swapping out Callahan (who was a decent-to-good slot corner) for Skrine, and now losing Fuller and Skrine. They will be back to trotting out late round picks for Rodgers to torch, which suits me fine. Speaking of picks, do they have all their picks now after the dust from the Mack trade has settled? I can't wait to hear about the Dalton/Foles camp battles. Sounds like a lot of players aren't thrilled there, Nagy/Pace will be on the hotseat. Oh, didn't they lose their kicker again?
Lions signing Jamaal is... kind of weird. They won't bring back AP (so surprise there) but they've spent high picks on Kerryon (who I think is good if sometimes misused) and Swift. So... you have Jamaal as an overpaid RB3, or you bench Kerryon? Stafford for Goff is a downgrade IMO. Also, they don't have much at the moment for receivers. Sure feels like team blowing things up to rebuild.
Could easily see any of these teams picking a Mac Jones type QB if the top guys get taken early as expected.
No more Golladay in Detroit also. I don't mind seeing the Giants getting him. They ain't going anywhere anyway.

Giants are gonna be really good. 2nd year in offense and defense schemes. Talented 3rd year QB who can throw from every platform. Defense. Offensive weapons.
OL only question mark for me

They were pretty good last year after a terrible 0-5 start. They'll likely have the opportunity to draft one of the top OT's in the 1st round.
My oldest son is a giants fan starting in 2007 when they beat the patriots. He was 5. Always liked football.
Anyway, I watch Giants games on game pass and follow their contracts, roster, draft position, etc. They are poised for a big run. I'm sort of hoping for an OT, but as long as it's a pro bowler I won't be too disappointed. Solder got restructured like Preston and might have one last solid year at RT in him. If they solidify that line a little Daniel Jones is going to enter into that top 10 QB conversation and it's an up era for QB play. Top 10 says something with this group.

This is what the new Lions' coach, Dan Campbell, said about Michael Brockers, whom they'd just acquired: "I'd say this about Brockers, he's probably one of the few in this league that can wield the hammer of Thor. We're real excited about that."
That can wield the hammer of Thor?
He's either going to be the best coach ever, or join the long, long, list of Epic Lions' Fails. A guy who says crazy shit like that will not fall in between.

Don’t know about Hammer of Thor, but Hammer of the Gods was a pretty awesome book.
They got nothing on “hammer cock” lafleur.

hahahaha Don't bet on it.

Giants key pieces:
24 year old star to be QB
24 year old stud DT
23 year old stus LT
And a whole bunch of talented players overall, but hitting on those three tough to find pieces is going to bode well for their wins and losses. QB and tough to find big guys. That's a recipe.

You really think Jones is going to be a star? I have seen flashes, but nothing that tells me he's going to make a Josh Allen jump. He's taken an awful beating with that OL (83 sacks in 27 games) and had an 11-10 TD-Int ratio last year. Maybe it was losing Barkley, but from what I saw he looked worse last year than his rookie year and the stats back it up.
I think NYG has a bunch of holes. They can be filled, but they are at least another year away... and I say that before the draft. 2022 or 2023 could be interesting.
I really do think he's a star. The OL has let him down badly for two years straight. I don't blame a QB who's instantly pummeled. But when he has any amount of time, even if he has to throw falling away or run, I mean even the least amount of inadequate time, he's accurate and decisive. Huge arm, all platforms including on the run, fast, athletic, gritty. He's everything. I'll bet on him all day long. Danny Dimes, a star.

I've watched much, much of the NYG than you, so good to know. Tough for a lot of these high draft QBs because they usually go to crappy teams with porous OL, and have to develop while not getting killed. Hey, at least they get paid millions of dollars.
Seriously, I think some of these guys could do much better if they were in stable scenarios or given more time to sit and learn, but the pressure to get on the field right away is so high.
I was kind of shocked at the Bengals moves. They have an emerging absolute stud in Burrow who they let get abused and injured. Then with money under the cap they sign a RT that isn't even that good. Their LT should be playing RT or G. There were guys out there to play LT like Trent Williams. And with the 5 pick they could get a RT. Not sure their is a stud LT to be had in this draft. Several good RT though.I've watched much, much of the NYG than you, so good to know.

I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
After the Giants win one and then pay Jones only to be consistently good for the next decade Giants fans will scream OMG WE WASTED JONES CAREER!!!

King resigns with Packers
1 year 6 million
Better be @ minimum with per game bonuses. He is ok when uninjured. But rarely uninjured.
All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.

Fuck!
Over 8 million frogskins for King and O’Sullivan. Packers could get the same output as the two aforementioned milksops by signing a couple of corners off the streets of Baltimore for the minimum-wage.
