    Buccs make Ryan Jensen the highest paid centre in the league. Not bad for a 6th round pick!

    If they fix up the boundaries a bit, with Watson back on offense and Watt on defense that's a serious, serious team. Watson didn't have enough playing time to properly compare to the likes of RGIII, Newton, Ben or Russel Wilson's rookie years, but in terms of when he was on the field he was the most impressive rookie QB I've ever seen.

    There has to be something we don't know about if Honey Badger is taking a 1 year deal for $7 million. It just stinks of there being some issue behind the scenes that we are unaware of.

    Guy is trying to get paid.

    Betting on yourself seems to be a trend in the nfl at the moment (although idk, Cousins situation could be making me think that).

    There you go with the hyperbole again. Watson certainly looked good but best ever rookie is just way, way ott.
    Let's just go with recent ones, Andrew Luck was extremely impressive in his rookie season, Russel Wilson and RG3 were great and Cam Newton was out of this world almost.

    Go back a little further and Matt Ryan impressed too and a bit further back and Big Ben was superb in his rookie season.

    You do say admit that he didn't play that many games which is fair enough but to put him up as greatest all time rookie having played in less than half the regular season is just going way over the top.

    I'd have thought he was worth much more than that already. Like that money doesn't put him in the top 20, maybe even top 30 earners among defensive backs.

    I'm not. I don't love Fuller as much as most of our fanbase seems to based off of 1 season (in which he whiffed on an unbelievable amount of tackles. He's not a great tackler.)

    If the Packers were to sign him up to an offer sheet we couldn't/weren't willing to match it would have been for an unbelievable amount of money. They would have been taking the risk that he doesn't regress as well as putting themselves into an even worse cap position.

    As it turns out, the Pack have negotiated a fairly decent deal for both Fuller and the Bears. Very strangely structured and not the way Pace would have done it based off his history, but the Packers legitimitely wanted Fuller and had to make it work with their cap which is why is it so strange (backloaded, only $6.5m cap hit this year).

    Huge trade -

    Jets get #3 pick
    Colts get #6, #37, #49 and a 2019 2nd

    Great deal for the Colts for me. Picking up 3 2nd's and might still land the guy they want at #6 anyways (Chubb or Nelson probably)

    Who do the Jets want at 3? Didn't they just sign Bridgewater?

    Teddy was 1 year - 15m and McCown was 1 year - 10m. Seems pricey 25M into those two, and then spending 3 2nds to move up 3 spots. Definitely moving up for a QB though, I'd be amazed if you're giving that amount up for anything else.

    Moving up to three, getting a qb, and not giving up a future first is good business in my eyes,! Although I may be looking at it through rose tinted glasses

    Mccown is gone after the year and I don't think you can have any long term trust in Bridgewater giving his injury history! I think it's only right they go qb in the first

    You haven't mentioned the dead cap though. Because $20m is a signing bonus, if they cut him after 2 years, ie before the base salary ramps up, there's still $9m in dead cap that will impact over the final 2 years. Outside of Fuller living up to last season's form it is very hard to 'win' with this contract.

    Captain Andrew Luck is happy with the trade anyway.

    Is this just as good as releasing... I mean a 7th rounder hasgot to be next to worthless in the grand scheme.

    Avoids any cap hit by just releasing him. Probably why they looked for a trade than just releasing. Having said that not sure what his contract was or what the hit would have been.

    Colts are now signing WR Ryan Grant, the player who 'failed' a medical at Baltimore.

    Yeah, Grant’s injury was believed to be a case of a ‘better receiver becoming available after the deal was agreed’.

    Allen Hurns released by the Jags. This time last year I wouldn't have pegged both him and Robinson to be gone.

    He's still a good player, but JPP's drop off from being arguably the most dangerous defensive lineman in the league not named JJ Watt to where he is now has been quite the fall.

    OBJ will holdout until he gets an extension. Perhaps we will see a trade.
