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.

Damn. Must be nice for the Bengals…

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.

They don't need WRs.

RB is their biggest Off need.

Their biggest mistake last year was not trading for CMC. Wasted another good chance and Allen needs a safety valve who can make plays so he stops throwing for 30 yards on 3rd and 2 or 4th and 3. He killed a dozen drives in the playoffs not have the instant first down dump off.

CMC definitely feels like a big missed opportunity for the Bills. His contract was very manageable via trade with us eating all the guaranteed money.

Being reported that the Jets and one other team are working on a deal for Lazard.  Could we be that team?  He’s a big guy with good production.  

Wouldn't be shocking. But I don't think any of these guys are worth a bidding war. I just hope we're plenty prepared to walk away. Lazard is a mediocre #2 WR and the contract should reflect that.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      The NFL eats giant bad contracts all the time. I looked and the 3rd starts at 6.7 at pick 67 and 6.1 at pick 96. With the way the NFL cap keeps going up and how they all work the cap it really shouldn't be an issue for any team that can get 1 year out of rookies.  Maybe it would cut down on teams taking giant leaps on guys they shouldn't? This would have got Hurney fired in 3 years lol

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
