There's just no one on the FA market that excites me in the least. It still seems to me that Chinn might be getting shopped. Another poster yesterday mentioned the Bengals as a dance partner. They lost both their starting safeties yesterday and they have three WRs who are legit starting caliber. Chinn might be a lot more valuable to them than Tyler Boyd as a #3 WR and Tyler Boyd might be a lot more valuable to us as a #1 WR than Jeremy Chinn. Hmmm...

If we're shipping Chinn to the Bengals, I'd aim for Tee Higgins. If we have to throw a mid-round pick in addition to Chinn then so be it.

It's mostly #2's and slot guys. Still, it got stupid last year with those guys.

Meyers being that cheap is great news for us. We should be able to get an upgrade for a very reasonable price if we want.

I mean, Meyers would've been the 3rd highest paid WR in FA last year. Kirk's contract was eye popping but then the guy went out there and put up 1100 yards and 8 TDs so maybe the Jags weren't so crazy after all. The Rams did a dumb thing with Allen Robinson paying him for the guy he was a few years ago, not the guy he is now.

This is a good take. 

I can't take credit for the specific scenario with the Bengals. That was somebody else. I'd give credit if I recalled who.

You ain't getting Tee Higgins.

I think he is a FA next year and they have to pay Burrow and Chase.  Maybe they try to get something for him instead of letting him walk?  I doubt it but it seems like there is a small path that could work....

The three of them are colluding to make it work contractually. They want to stay together.

Wait...That doesn't work in this context, does it?

I think it's cool to see from the players too. They're all going to get paid fug you money. They're going to have generational wealth from these contracts. Better to sacrifice a bit of money that only really matters in terms of dick measuring bragging rights to keep the gang together and do some special things on the field. They could be this generation's Peyton Manning/Marvin Harrison/Reggie Wayne.

there may not be a true X waiting in this free agent pool but it doesn’t mean there aren’t very good slot guys available. That’s a starter. Panthers need to get in on one.

a guy like Lazard or theilen could replicate WR1 duties for a stint if you want, but there are legitimate options to be had for inside guys.

Ya know, I'm starting to think some of these Patriot guys might not have cared for Matt Patricia calling the plays last year

RB market is looking cheap

The Jets are literally trying to recreate the Packers offense for Rodgers
