It seems that the media has caught word, because I’m now seeing stuff like three 1sts and a 3rd from the Vikings. I don’t think they realize that an extra 3rd is only something like 3% of an increase on the overall trade value.

Trading from 3 to 11 to 4 to 12 is absurd even by your standards

https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-s-top-150-prospects-in-the-2024-nfl-draft-class Daniel Jeremiah’s top 150. Jalyx Hunt, who had a top-30 visit with the Patriots, is the big winner here at 64. It’s awfully similar to when Jeremiah had Mapu at 73 a year ago. He wasn’t as kind to Patrick...

OTC says the $19.125M option bonus isn’t due until September 1, which would mean it goes to the new team rather than being dead money for the Eagles as shown here. I think the cap sites just don’t know how to handle the loophole that lets teams prorate bonuses while still being able to send the...

We don’t know, but it was serious enough that he was hospitalized twice last year.

I’m glad Brugler’s “Beast” is out, because it includes nuggets like how Suamataia’s grandfather, Junior Ah You, was the 1972 Patriots’ 17th round pick but chose to play in the CFL instead.

Daniels’ left tackle is going in the first round next year, too. This “way too early” mock has him at #2 overall. https://atozsports.com/nfl-draft/travis-may-2025-nfl-mock-draft-1-0-features-best-returning-college-football-stars-in-the-nation/

That’s a pretty clear indication that there was basically no attempt to keep him. Looks like the slot job is being handed to Marcus Jones unless they’re signing a veteran starter to move Jonathan back inside.

Why not to listen to what Tony Pauline says… Short version: Very long version: https://www.seasidejoe.com/p/nfl-draft-rumors-tony-pauline-seahawks

The fascinating thing is that he’s never played 35% of the defensive snaps in a season. Even his 11.5 sack 2022 season wouldn’t have earned any of the sack incentives because he only played just over 33% of the snaps.

Over The Cap is now showing 1 year, $4.75M, with $2M guaranteed. Yikes.

Day 3 with no contract details. This must be an embarrassingly bad contract.

“veteran salary benefit” means it’s minimum salary and can have up to $167,500 worth of bonuses of some kind.

There’s a notable lack of contract details, even more than three hours later. When the money is good, you generally hear that within minutes.

Former Steelers GM Kevin Colbert, in July 2021: “When we scouted Chuks, we thought he’d be a better left tackle than right, coming out of college. Last year [2020], he lost a competition to Zach Banner at right tackle. Had they been competing for left tackle, my guess is Chuks would’ve beat him...
