    Fingers crossed.
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

      Well,if they wanted him, I'm glad Green Bay didn't sign him.

        • Browns also signed LT Jack Conklin. 3 years, 42 million, 30 million guaranteed, 20 million in 2020.

            Case Keenum and the Browns have agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract with $10 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
            Big V is now Big Money.

            According to Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio, Eagles tackle Halapoulivaati Vaitai just got a five-year, $50 million deal from the Lions.

            Vaitai replaces previous big-ticket free agent Rick Wagner at right tackle for the Lions, which proves the cyclical nature of the early stages of free agency.

            Vaitai made 20 starts in four seasons, but was stuck without a job with the Eagles, as Andre Dillard will move into the left tackle spot with Jason Peters reaching free agency. They have Lane Johnson on the other side, so Vaitai was destined to leave.
            The Giants are making a “strong push” to sign linebacker Blake Martinez, Matt Lombardo of NJ.com reports.

            The Packers’ signing of Christian Kirksey signaled an end to Martinez’ time in Green Bay.

            Martinez, 26, led all linebackers with 114 solo tackles last season.

            • I saw the article on NJ.com that he (Martinez) "would fill a void in the Giants’ defense for a playmaking outside linebacker who can generate pressure on the quarterback." My eyes must deceive me.

                Well, in a 4-3 defense, he would have to cover less ground than he did in Pettine's defense where he was often the only ILB on the field. It might be a better fit for him.

                • DeAndre Hopkins is a beast. Murray will be happy - they have Larry, Hopkins and Kirk for their top 3 WR now.

                  HOU will be drafting WRs. David Johnson could resurrect his career in HOU (they needed a RB) and he can play all 3 downs but I think O'Brien's dealings are going to bite him. Who does Watson throw to? Fuller, Coutee, and Stills are all ok but none of them are #1's.

                  The Kirksey signing seemed pricey until the details came out -- there are a lot of incentives and bonuses built into it. If he returns to form from 2 years ago he's a much better LB than Martinez.
                  Signing Wagner doesn't really wow me - he's going to hold up better over a season than Veldheer in theory. He's been pretty healthy through his career and you know he'll be excited to play for the home state team. I don't think he's better than Bulaga, but he's younger and healthier. That right side of the OL isn't what it was but better skill position players might mitigate that. They've trotted out worse OL than Wagner.

                  Both GB signings are moderate FA signings that provide some vets who can start and provide roster flexibility going into the draft. They'll still probably draft an OT and an ILB, but they aren't pressured to reach for one and have a little time to develop whomever they do draft.

                  I'd rather they extend Kenny Clark than sign Cory Littleton or Amari Cooper. I don't think their performance will match their price.

                  • The Bears just signed Jimmy Graham to a 2 year $16M contract with $9M guaranteed. I think we can cover this TE.

                      They overpaid, but he is better than anybody they've got at that position.

                      • The Hopkins trade is moronic for Houston. I have no idea how they can spin this to sound good for them. Good on AZ for taking advantage.

                            Not that surprised though. It's a bad year at TE both in free agency and the draft. Some guys are bound to be overpaid.

                                Wouldn't Greg Olsen have been preferable? Why didn't they attempt to bring him in when he was cut loose from Carolina? Maybe they did....
