Big deal. You've been 29 and holding for years.
The #Saints have agreed to terms with FA WR Equanimeous St. Brown.

Good luck trading for a top 4 QB, Minnesota.
Well, he did beat them in a playoff game and all....
This snippet is from last years' draft write-ups from McGinn.
Its one more example of Andy Reid not caring about having turds on his teams
SCOUTS’ NIGHTMARE
Rashee Rice, WR, Southern Methodist: Has the size (6-0 ½, 205), speed (4.42), athletic ability (41-inch vertical jump) and production (233 receptions, 25 touchdowns) to be a high draft choice. At least one team, however, has removed him from its draft board because of behavioral issues.
“He’s talented, but he's not a good dude,” one personnel director said.
From The Insiders: The only way the door gets shut on a Brandon Aiyuk trade is if the #49ers give him a new deal. There appear to be other teams willing to do it if SF doesn't. pic.twitter.com/sa0FRwat2x

"There is a sense among other high-ranking personnel executives around the league that Aiyuk, as one such executive put it, “is available for the right price.” To this point, the 49ers have asked for a 2024 first-round pick. “They want too much,” said the executive, whose team is…

The Packers rank 32nd in terms of money spent on their WR room and they have a really good receiver room" ~ @mlombardiNFL #PMSLive https://t.co/A7OJv6XXoT pic.twitter.com/4FvBZuWBXH
Trey Hendrickson would be a nice addition but cost/cap room will probably prevent that. Guess we need other positions more?

Former #Chiefs and #Packers FA WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling is expected to sign with the #Bills, per me and @TomPelissero. He’s on a visit there today and the two sides are closing in on a deal.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) May 14, 2024
@AdamSchefter
Bills are giving former Chiefs WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million, including a $1.125 million signing bonus, per source.
Jared Goff gets 213 million on a 4-year extension with the Lions. 170 million guaranteed.
The good news is that the Lions are locked into their version of Kirk Cousins for the foreseeable future.
The bad news is that Jordan Love is getting more expensive by the minute.

MVS probably tells his agent he will only sign with teams that have a HOF QB?

I don’t think he has the talent to make such a demand

You nailed it. Detroit really thinks they are that close, eh? Love will probably see $65 million per for six years at least. Yikes. That will bite.
As for MVS, the dude comes up with only one or two difference-maker catches per year and the speed to get there, and he's made it into a nice career for himself.
Considering his talents and shortcomings, he really couldn't have asked for a more fortunate career.
Rodgers, Maholmes, and Allen.
Pretty nice stable of guys throwing him the ball.

Indeed
The QB market is just nuts, its like there is only 1 tier and every QB gets that top cash
Of course it doesn't matter how much the Lions pay Goff, only that he plays up to that number. And there's no chance that he will - because he wilts under pressure. And in the playoffs, you aren't getting clean pockets
He'll be another stat-padding lions QB.
Good, but just not good enough in the clutch to go win a Title.
McVay figured that out, now its Campbell's turn to learn
Here's a clip from NFCCG vs SF.
At the 13 minute mark of the video... its a critical 4th down in the 4th quarter and Meathead eschews the 48 yd FG for the tie... and goes for it.
Goff gets pressured, freaks out, and lofts a duck incomplete.
9ers take over and the lions are spiraling down the drain.
That's the Goff the lions are betting on. LOL
Campbell always needs to be the meatiest head in the room.
I agree with the Goff = Cousins comparisons but our greatest asset on that team is that idiot coach.

He’s pulled the Lions out of the trash heap and made them a legitimate contender. Sure he is way too aggressive in game time decisions but you have give Campbell props for what he’s accomplished there so far.

With all the players on rookie contracts the Packers would do well to front load Love's contract as much as possible, both to make room for all those rookie's 2nd contracts but also as insurance in case Love somehow regresses in the future.
I'm still waiting for a star QB with a screw loose after his rookie deal to say "eh, $5 million is enough" and be on a "rookie contract" for eternity and basically play with an all-star team every year.

That's fair
- especially since the lions have been irrelevant for decades. I don't see them winning a Title with Campbell, but at least they get to taste a bit of success - something that has eluded the Ford's for decades

But how long before he wears out his welcome like that Harbaugh guy?
Here's an article from Sharp Football talking about how the cowboys have really screwed the pooch on handling Dak's contract. Jerruh is really getting senile and its showing up on this deal.
https://www.sharpfootballanaly...owboys-warren-sharp/
"Because of their delay in signing him initially and extending him, Prescott has cost the team $150,626,647 against the cap in the last five years.
Cost against the cap is massive because it hurts the team. They can’t add talent when one player takes up a huge cap hit.
Where does $151 million rank in cap dollars?
It’s the #1 most of any player in the NFL who wasn’t cut by their team this season and is therefore eating some of the cap space in dead money.
Russell Wilson is the only player with a higher cumulative cap hit over the last five years, but Denver cut him and accelerated his cap hits to this season.
Other than Russ, Prescott stands alone.
And no other QB is close.
His $151 million is $28 million more than Patrick Mahomes, who has hit the cap for $123 million.
It’s also between $67 million and $77 million more than QBs such as Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow.
These QBs have all made deep playoff runs during those years. Prescott not only hasn’t, but he is eating up more cap space than all of them."
Just add it another reason the Cowboys suck. You can't tell me that their handling of Dak's contract has not driven up the QB salaries of other QBs. Any agent, "Look at what Dallas is paying Prescott and my QB is way better than him!!"
Here's some sobering NFL QB math to consider:
Jared Goff just signed for $ 53M/ yr as the going rate for NFL QBs. For a 17 game reg season, that works out to $ 3M per game. ( !)
On an hourly basis, they earn over $1M/ hr on Sundays.
And if the average QB ( Goff) completes 25 passes per game, then each completion is worth $124 K.
JFC, this is just insane

Dak doesn't give a crap....win or lose....he's going to get as much money as he can while he can. That seems to be his attitude.
I'd definitely play hardball with Dak. That's too much money for 1 playoff win.

You could afford 2 Big Mac meals with that kind of money.
