    Rams are keeping Matt Stafford. Not great news for Aaron Rodgers. This was probably Rodgers' #1 choice. Might be where Davante ends up.

    Chiefs put franchise tag on G Trey Smith. 23.4 million.

    NFL announces franchise and transition tag numbers.

    Quarterback: $40.242 million (franchise); $35.377 million (transition).
    Running back: $13.64 million (franchise); $11.067 million (transition).
    Wide receiver: $23.959 million (franchise); $21.441 million (transition).
    Tight end: $13.826 million (franchise); $11.712 million (transition).
    Offensive line: $23.402 million (franchise); $21.271 million (transition).
    Defensive end: $22.062 million (franchise); $19.872 million (transition).
    Defensive tackle: $25.123 million (franchise); $20.849 million (transition).
    Linebacker: $25.452 million (franchise); $20.862 million (transition).
    Cornerback: $20.187 million (franchise); $17.595 million (transition).

    The 49ers are trading Deebo Samuel to the Commanders for draft considerations. Reportedly a 5th round pick.

    Not a great FA group this year, if I'm Gute I focus on locking up Tom and McAnus to extensions and waiting until 2nd week of free agency to shop. The first week there will be some very bad contracts done with the salary cap going up more. GMs will be signing players to bad overpays they'll want to get out of in 2 years.

    I don't know how much tread Deebo has on the tires, SF fans thought he was washed last year. Gives SF more room to sign Purdy.
    Speaking of the Niners, rumor is Aiyuk is available in trade market, but he's got a weird contract structure I think they want to get out of.

    I love Deebo, from 2 years ago. Seems like he isn't exactly all in at times. He can be super competitive and then he disappears, probably because he is banged up and is on the sidelines. Maybe he will get reinvigorated in Washington. He wants to be a tough guy, but tough guys are like Sterling Sharpe who would play regardless of injury.

    Yeah Deebo was kind of a unicorn for a while. Great player when he was younger and less banged up, but he's 29 going on 30 now and those injuries add up. If they use him like they did Zaccheus he'll be an upgrade there as a YAC/Gadget guy with a specific # of snaps, but as an outside WR playing 70% of snaps I am skeptical that he'll hold up.

    No it wouldn't. I expect Rodgers to still be damn good and probably motivated to play against the Packers.

    I'm thinking he goes to the Raiders.

    Jets have officially released Davante Adams. Maybe Gute will sign him just to piss Rodgers off.

    But last time (2009) the Packers got swept by the purps.

    The Bears are expected to trade for Chiefs All-Pro guard Joe Thuney in exchange for a 2026 fourth-round pick, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday, per sources informed of the situation.

    The deal for Thuney, which won't be official until the start of the new league year on March 12, comes on the heels of Chicago agreeing to a trade for Los Angeles Rams guard Jonah Jackson.

    In two days, Chicago has completely revamped the interior of its offensive line, adding Pro Bowl talents who, if healthy, will massively boost the pocket in front of Caleb Williams.

    The 32-year-old Thuney remains one of the top guards in the NFL, able to shield the pocket and blow open lanes in the run game. With issues at left tackle in 2024, the Chiefs swung the guard outside to stabilize Patrick Mahomes' blind side. The move helped shore up the LT spot but left K.C. wanting on the interior.

    Thuney has one year left on his contract with a base salary of $15.5 million. The Chiefs save $16 million on the salary cap with the trade. He could see a contract extension in Chicago that Kansas City, with its cap situation, would have had a hard time conjuring.

    That's a LOT of money for a kicker. He damn well better not fade and get worse.

    It's a little higher than average. There are 12 other kickers averaging 5M or more per year.

    Finally, some clarity on the DK Metcalf situation. Over the past week, it’s been reported that the Green Bay Packers were in conversations with the Seattle Seahawks for a trade of the receiver, while others reported that Metcalf wasn’t available in trade talks.

    Now it’s official: Metcalf wants out of Seattle. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Metcalf wants to play for a contender and has had “a series of discussions” with the Seahawks about it over several weeks. This news came shortly after Seattle released fellow Seattle wide receiver Tyler Lockett on Wednesday.

    Why does Metcalf make sense in Green Bay? He’s essentially a more-developed version of Christian Watson, a big-body receiver who can play on the outside and take the top off of the defense. Without Watson for at least three-quarters of the season, due to his ACL tear, the Packers are in search of a player like Metcalf to keep defenses honest in 2025.
