With the Antoine Winfield Jr. extension taken care of, one crucial financial priority remains for the Buccaneers this offseason. Left tackle Tristan Wirfs is in line for a new deal of his own, and that has driven his decision to remain away from the team at this point.

The latter is absent from OTAs, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports. A number of players seeking new deals have followed suit to begin the week, and Wirfs certainly has a case to command a lucrative new deal. The three-time Pro Bowler has been present for other offseason workouts, head coach Todd Bowles confirmed (via Greg Auman of Fox Sports). It would come as no surprise, though, if Wirfs were to remain absent until a deal is struck.

or the second week in a row, the Falcons will be without their star running back during a Tuesday open practice. Bijan Robinson is working through an ankle injury and will likely miss the organized team activities period in the lead up to mandatory minicamp beginning Monday, June 10.

The expectation for Robinson, Morris said, is to be back for some on-field, "movement" work by mandatory minicamp.

I am so happy we got XL....he's got a chance to make Smitty worry about his goat status.  And the kid seems like such a good guy

well it's something...just hoping Brooks is 100%

It should be a 400,000-100,000 SB with vet min type deal is my guess. 

 

Here is what philly signed him for and he had a meh year- "Rashaad Penny signed a It shoult 1 year , $1,350,000 contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, including $100,000 signing bonus, $600,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,350,000."

 

 

 

 

cool, thanks.  Interesting how we suddenly have so many RBs on the roster.  Our O may be  more running oriented than I was thinking.  The moves on OL point that way.  Rookie minicamp is this weekend.  We'll hopefully get a good look at our rookie, if he's healthy

for crying out loud, that link has no details about the contract.  I hate panther bot

former Saints LT Peat signing with the Raidahs.  He was a first round pick and performed well when moved to LT in the middle of last season.  Some saints posters on their board say he saved their season with that move.

Saints still owe him over 13 mill

The left side of their OL is in bad shape.  Very bad shape

Carolina currently has just over $8MM in cap space, some of which will be needed to sign the team’s draft class. That will still leave sufficient funds to make a somewhat notable addition late in free agency, and Gilmore could remain a target on a low-cost arrangement. With the sides apparently not in discussion, however, it would come as a surprise if a deal were to come together in the near future. Aside from Gilmore, other free agent cornerback options include J.C. Jackson, Steven Nelson, Adoree’ Jackson and Patrick Peterson.

Am I missing something here? 

yes.  Brooks was the consensus #1 RB

Also its impossible to fix this team in just one year. Honestly need 4 full years and lots of luck....

Besides Center, the OL looks like one of the best units. Lots of depth.

Ickey is the wildcard and just like young, its a huge year for him.

I'd hate for the Panthers to be looking a QB, LT, and 2 edges by seasons end. 

that's what's behind all the guys who hate this draft....they think if we had drafted better we'd be a playoff team in 2024

RB he was the target all along.... best back in the draft 

and we got him by trading back and picking up a 2nd next year!

so we got our guy and picked up a 2nd next year.

just wow

we're on the clock

interesting graphic they showed...

last 10 picks have been from 3 positions..WR, DT, and CB

incredible...we got an extra 5th this year and a 2nd next year.  can't believe it

Bills wanted that type of WR and probably thought we'd take Leggette
