Get me Golladay, Thuney and Lawson and I’ll be happy. Time to be aggressive.  What’s the point of having cap space.

I really don't see the point in getting Thuney if you get Linsley.  He is the better option because you move McGovern to RG and resign Elflein.  He was QUITE effective.  Cameron Clark might be ready to battle for a spot as well.

Is there an updated list of FA’s now that franchise rates are being handed out.

I kind of always expected the best FA we WRs we might have a shot at the be Juju and Curtis Samuel. Neither of which satisfies the need for a #1, but will get paid like it.

What makes him better than some of these other edge guys on the market? Lawson only had 5.5 sacks last year 

 

Here's a pretty cool chart

Very cool man, nice chart. I don’t know if they’ll be in the market for Barrett but if they could land either Lawson, Okwara, Reddick, or Hendrickson that would be pretty good!

Agree...I really like Lawson with his age/upside and likely to be cheaper than the others

Why do you think he’ll be cheaper? The “advanced metrics” seem to suggest he’s a top edge on the market

I think its more wishful thinking on my part because I've been a fan of his since college.  He was flying under the radar, but probably did too well this year to remain cheap lol.  Here's a pretty good dive into him that someone did of him if you care (its only 5 min):

PFF predicts JUJU to the JETS : 

 

“Contract Analysis: Even before the 2020 season began, pundits predicted that Smith-Schuster would be playing his final season in Pittsburgh. With the emergence of Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool, that’s now even more of a safe bet.

Prediction: Jets sign Smith-Schuster for four years, $68 million ($17M APY): $35M total guaranteed, $22M fully guaranteed at signing.”

[Jetlife33]

PFF predicts Judon to the JETS: 

 

“Contract Analysis: It appears Judon is facing the same fate as former Ravens edge rusher Za’Darius Smith, especially after Baltimore doled out huge extensions to cornerback Marlon Humphrey and left tackle Ronnie Stanley. Reigning MVP Lamar Jackson is eligible for an extension after the season, as well.

Prediction: Jets sign Judon for four years, $64 million ($16M APY): $33 million total guaranteed, $21 million fully guaranteed at signing.”

[Jetlife33]

Expected to pursue multiple receiver upgrades, the Dolphins are believed to have significant interest in adding Golladay, Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald notes. While they will have company, should Golladay indeed hit the market, Beasley adds the team is “determined” to sign a No. 1 wide receiver.

[Jetlife33]

The cap casualties just keep on rolling in. This time it’s the Browns getting in on the action, with Cleveland announcing they’ve released veteran defensive end Adrian Clayborn.

[Jetlife33]

The writing was perhaps on the wall with the recent signing of Greg Joseph, but now it’s official. The Vikings have released veteran kicker Dan Bailey, a source told Dianna Russini of ESPN.com 

[Jetlife33]

A pair of popular Seahawks players didn’t get franchised: running back Chris Carson(per NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero on Twitter) and cornerback Shaquill Griffin (per NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport on Twitter). The team is planning to (at least) make a pursuit at retaining Griffin, per Rapoport.

[Jetlife33]

As a reminder, here are the players who have reportedly been tagged over the past 48 hours:

Bears: WR Allen Robinson 

Buccaneers: WR Chris Godwin 

Giants: DL Leonard Williams 

Jaguars: OT Cam Robinson 

Jets: S Marcus Maye 

Panthers: OT Taylor Moton 

Saints: S Marcus Williams 

Washington: G Brandon Scherff

With the $$$ Adams is going to want SEA is going to have a hard time keeping Griffin

I remember saying out loud CHASE WINOVICH!  CHASE WINOVICH!  And then, Mac picked Jachai Polite....and then Chase Winovich went to the Patriots.  And then Jachai Polite never actually made the team.  SOOOO awesome being a Jet fan and watching Mac waste pick, after pick, after pick, after pick.....

I get a lot of picks wrong, but I was all over that one as well.

Mac seems like a nice guy, but he was a Crap GM.

John Brown released. Keep an eye out for this one.

Very good player. Surprised the Bills made that move, as Brown is a really productive receiver.

5' 11" 178  30 years old. 

I think we need to add some height to the WR corps. 

We already have Berrios unless of course Brown replaces him and is better. 

[Jetlife33]

The Bills have released wide receiver John Brown and defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson, per a club announcement. The release of Brown will save $7.9MM against the cap with $1.6MM left in dead money. Meanwhile, Jefferson’s release will save $6.5MM with no dead money left over.

[prime21]

At his age I would pass.

[Jetlife33]

The Saints will release linebacker Kwon Alexander in the coming days (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). With no guarantees remaining, the move will save upwards of $13MM against the cap with $0 in dead money. 

[Jetlife33]

The Saints have released Emmanuel Sanders, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). The wide receiver has since confirmed the news via social media.

@FieldYates

 

Wide receiver remains the position with the most options in free agency: Kenny Golladay, Will Fuller V, Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Corey Davis, Curtis Samuel, Nelson Agholor, Marvin Jones, John Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, TY Hilton, Sammy Watkins, Breshad Perriman...& more.

Ian Rapoport

 

@RapSheet

 

The #Titans are expected to release starting S Kenny Vaccaro as a cap casualty, source said. He was due to have a $6.9M cap hit for Tennessee after 83 tackles and 6 TFLs last year.

[joewilly12]

Between free agency and the draft the NY Jets could rebuild like an expansion team this off-season. 

[Jetlife33]

The Titans are moving on from Kenny Vaccaro. Vaccaro will be cut to save $3.9MM in cap space with $3MM in dead money remaining (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport).

Matt Rhule says Christian McCaffrey and Shaq Thompson just restructured their contracts to give the Panthers more money vs. the salary cap.

N'Keal Harry hasn't been all that impressive so far in his NFL career.

Never said Linsley. I prefer Thuney to linsley anyway.
