NFL Rumors, News and in/out - NFL owners meeting pre-draft

[hikeNbike]

Is it possible Mack Jones to Baltimore without Lamar coming back? That at least gives the Ravens a QB to start the season and if the Patriots are serious about moving to Zappe it doesn't make much sense to have Mack on the roster as a backup. Just creates unneeded drama. Personally think the Patriots best hope for future success is to be bad for a season and get a high pick they can use on a QB. But I feel like Belechecks coaching will make it hard to be so bad they pick at the top. Feels like with that defense and Belicheck their floor is too high even if their ceiling isn't very high. Now if Belicheck would agree to take a year off and let O'Brien coach for a year I think that could get the job done.

Maybe the Bengals draft Bijan then?

I have seen mocks with Bijan going as early as 10 to Eagles and as late as late 20’s to Dallas. No idea where this guy will go

Agree it's a mystery. I think he would be huge for several teams it just becomes a matter of if someone is willing to spend an early pick on a Rb. As far as talent he is a top 10 talent in this draft.

MIA - willing to trade WR Cedric Wilson
OBJ - looking for 1 year deal - roughly $15 million - good luck Sir
MIN - Vikings newer stadium just released it will need $280 million in the next decade for upkeep and and maintenance - was just built in 2017....
PHI - before resigning with Philly, Darius Slay was very, very close to signing with Baltimore
ATL - per HC Arthur Smith - the team is very, very excited about Desmond Ridder, which is why they have not made a move to get Lamar Jackson
SF - Brock Purdy stated his rehab is going as planned, and per that schedule he will start throwing at 3 months

MIA - willing to trade WR Cedric Wilson

What! That’s insane. Wilson had almost 150 yards receiving last year and only counts 8 million against the cap this year. Why would they be willing to move Ced? I thought Miami was all in for a championship run. That’s just crazy talk. 2 first rounders at minimum.

OBJ - looking for 1 year deal - roughly $15 million - good luck Sir

Sucks for OBJ that Ced Wilson is suddenly available for only 8 million. But on the plus side, OBJ won’t cost massive draft capital to acquire.

DEN - Tim Patrick has been fully cleared from his torn ACL last year

 

[Phicinfan]

NO - resigns LB Andrew Dowell

 

[Phicinfan]

MIA - extends TE Durham Smythe through 2025

TEN/LVR - rumors from NFL.com have both Tennessee and Las Vegas potentially trading to #3 to get QB of the future. I don't buy the Raiders due to $$$ spent on Jimmy G. However, Tennessee could be legit, to get in front of AFC South competitor Indy.
PHI - sign DT Kentavius Street
LAR - HC McVay says again Matthey Stafford will have no limitations this off season and he is already throwing and getting ready.
BAL - reports out that Ravens have made an offer to OBJ
DEN - Faion Hicks DB has been arrested in Florida. He is facing 3 charges worst of which is a 3rd degree felony for carrying a concealed weapon
JAC - Jaguars OT Cole Van Lanen signs his RFA tender
MIN - Vikings report Dalvin Cook is on schedule from his rehab for shoulder surgery
JAC - waive RB Mekhi Sargent
GB - HC Matt LaFleur is looking for some veteran presence in the WR room

Hmmm. Don't the Ravens seem like a horrible fit for OBJ? If he doesn't get the ball he is going to be a distraction and the Ravens aren't exactly the model of stability at QB at the moment. They do need receivers no doubt but I'm not sure OBJ is the right one for them even if they have Lamar but especially if they don't.

My fear is Baltimore is going to be a dumpster fire. Potential Lamar Jackson hold out, cap strapped, no real offense and Defense isn't what it was. They better hope RBs are back and healthy, or this could be a very, very bad year here

Also veteran presence at wr in gb has been a lot of the problem. They keep relying on these over the hill vets, let the rookies play and learn. With Love and Watson and Doubs, there is a lot to like with letting them grow into their roles. I think if anything they ought to think about taking a Wr in the draft. Like the TCU wideout his name escapes me at the moment. But he feels like a true #1 receiver and Watson would be an awesome 2 with Doubs at three. If I'm the Packers GM I'd consider taking a wideout and a tight end early and not just to annoy Rogers. Feels like their defense is very good, yes adding Dbs is always good but Is upgrade the offense so Love is in position to succeed. Granted we don't know if he is good or not yet, but at least with weapons around him that gives him a chance.

I don't totally disagree. I do think Watson and Doubs were proving themselves. I also think to have a solid Vet, who Love can rely on to be where they are supposed to be that can be huge. That being said the loss of Tonyan and Lazard is huge IMO for Love.

I wish the Pack was in the financial position to land Hopkins.

I am hearing alot of rumbles that Arizona may release him, as they are not getting the play on a trade they thought they would get. If he is FA, they may have a shot at him.

 

[Phicinfan]

WAS - Magic Johnson confirms he is part of Josh Harris ownership group and their bid is in
LVR - sign QB Brian Hoyer to a two year deal
GB - resigning S Dallin Leavitt
NE - reports out from "inside sources" that Patriots are tying to shop Mac Jones, supposedly Tenn, Washington, Raiders, Texans and Buccaneers
- this is also supposedly due to the fact Mac Jones evidently got really ticked with a lack of offensive Coor. last year and even reached out to Alabama to see if they could influence some decisions with the Patriots. Reports are Belichick is really ticked at Jones
CLE - Browns fear WR Michael Jones may have torn his achilles in workouts with Watson this off-season

 

[Phicinfan]

CAR - sign FA LB Kamu Grugier-Hill
CLE - confirm ruptured Achilles for WR Michael Jones
