Cam Jordan reworked his deal with the Saints to free up some cap room.

Moves so far as of noon. Biggest move is Atlanta is trading for TE Smith from the Pats. At least one team in the NFCS values TEs. Makes sense too if Ridder is their starter. https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-news-roundup-latest-league-updates-from-monday-march-13

$22.7M, BUT Shaq's restructured deal isn't in that number. I think that will be updated later today.

12:01, no news yet???

They are the Texans. Who knows why they do what they do.

Yup, all these QBs have questions and why I don't think the staff is solidly sold on just one of them. AR-Raw Stroud- Star on a team of stars (how much was really him?) Young-Size, the lock of Levis- Accuracy and pocket presence issues

Good digging! We won't likely get a Wildcard, though. In order to make the playoffs we'd have to win the division outright. The East will earn one, if not two, the West one and potentially one out of the North. It would be tough.

Personally, I think we would take any of the four, BUT AR is solid QB4. All the staff has to do is have full conviction that some team ahead of us WILL take him. Honestly, we would be fine with any of the other three, IMO. If the Cardinals don't trade back, we could be looking at two prospects even at pick #4. Moving back with the Texans will get us a mid-second round pick back, but moving back to #4 will get us a first round value, approximately pick 12 (or value thereof) back. BIG, BIG difference!!!

If we get the sense that the Texans want AR and the Colts want Levis, why would we not move back?

I agree it's highly unlikely, but if the Texans or Colts offer us something stupid-good in a compensation package, then anything is possible.

Nobody taking stabs at external FAs? There's no money on this fellas. No FA crushes or guys that makes sense for Reich's new offense and the 3-4 defense?

I thought it was Young?

Sounds about right. Tepper hired Reich to hire a competent staff...now he needs to stop micromanaging. He's the owner and will have input, but that input should not deter the staff from the players they want.

I think it's a smoke screen where we can move back, potentially, if we know another team is in love with AR. Even if we move back to #4 and QBs go 1,2,3,4, we still get a QB.

Eh, Purdy didn't take over until about 3/4 of the way through the season after Jimmy G. did all the heavy lifting. He would get an asterisk from me. Wilson has been such a tool lately, I totally blocked him out, lol! Wilson, Big Ben and Purdy*. Looooong list indeed.

No backpedaling. We have one team to beat and they have a complete roster, we don't. Could it happen? Sure, but HIGHLY unlikely. About as high as Nuke being the FA savior of the offense.

Yup, because a rookie QB is a rookie QB. He's going to make mistakes. Unless the Saints take a face plant, they should win the division. We will probably come in second. It's like you just stated watching the NFL recently or something.

Yup and I thought Tom Brady too, but he took over for an injured Drew Bledsoe in his second year. The only other one I can think off without getting into the weeds is Dan Marino all the way back in the 80's.

Would you be if we'd signed Carr or Rodgers? My feeling is if that would have happened, you would have moved on.

I do go to church, but not because I'm scared....irrelevant to the conversation. Anyway, if we DO happen to win the division it's for the simple fact it's the weakest division in the NFL. We have the Saints to beat, that's all. The Bucs and Falcons are in worse shape than we are.

Name rookie QBs that have won their division. I'll wait. That's a lot of research for such a small list....if you can call it a list. Let's not go back to the before the 90's, just the past 30-ish years to save you some time.

I like it, another Jericho Cotchery type. The price has to be right though. He's solid, but not worth breaking the bank to acquire.

Rookie QBs don't win divisions and we are not a #1 WR away because the rest of the room stinks. Plus, Nuke is washed. That's why that statement was nuts.

Too many TEs to choose from, so I'll take a stab just say OJ Howard. T.Y. Hilton for a WR , Jabrill Peppers S and Solomon Thomas IDL.

Who are we talking to? Let's get some names before noon folks. We can make this interesting for bragging rights (that means absolutely nothing).
