Ravens agreed to terms with WR Ryan Grant, formerly of the Redskins, on a four-year, $29 million contract.

The deal contains $14.5 million guaranteed, including a $10 million signing bonus. This is a real head-scratcher and reeks of desperation from GM Ozzie Newsome, who promised to overhaul the receiving corps, only to whiff on every other big name available. Grant, entering his age-28 year, came into 2017 with 39 career catches for 412 yards and two scores before "breaking out" for a 45-573-4 line last season. He's the new default No. 1 receiver in Baltimore.

You have to be kidding me. The guy has less than 1000 receiving yards in four seasons combined. WTF???

These WR contracts this year are beyond insane.

Players are getting paid which means a lot of vets are getting cut

Teams are panicking, paying too much for WR's

The draft is full of 2nd and 3rd round talent

It’s almost like Hurney planned for this. What a stupid head he is

Butler goes from Super Bowl benching to 61 m mega deal with Titans.

I'm hoping we can swing some kind of deal for Poe, then Parker, Burnett, and Mitchell are among my favorites to potentially add at safety.

Yeah I really don't understand where the panic is coming from. Its not top heavy but there's depth there. 

 

At this point I'm thinking we just load up on defensive free agents, which is where a lot of the talent is, and just go hard offense early cone draft time.

Any word on Boston ?

I know we picked up Breeland but I still want EJ Gaines. He fits this defense perfectly and I have loved his style since he was at Mizzou

He is probably too expensive.  Probably 8-9 mill a yr.

Jets agreed to terms with ILB Avery Williamson, formerly of the Titans.

Williams just turned 26 last week and was the top free-agent inside linebacker on the market. A 59-game starter for the Titans the last four seasons since being drafted in the fifth round, Williamson had a breakout 2017, grading out as Pro Football Focus' No. 3 inside linebacker, behind only Luke Kuechly and Bobby Wagner. Williamson received elite marks for his run defense.
