Good for him, cashing out.

He's not worth that money.

Fine by me. He was ok but more than I'd spend on him. I hope we get a NT that can bring some more pass rush juice.

I'd love that but I think EDGE or WR has to be favourite currently.

Good for him. Seems like a good egg. I wish him all the best, but we can probably do better and should certainly try..

Both of them were dependent on Williams. Media is predicting Barmore could be moved or even released soon.

Holy crap - is it ever.

I liked the guy at $3 mil for one year and appreciated him - but damn, good for him because the Chiefs kindof got fleeced.

They are in some very desperate straits on that side of the ball.

Yeah but that $7/21 million is the extra you throw into a FA contract at the end of negotiations to sign a game changer

If the Pats signed him for that amount I'd be scratching my head
