For entertainment purposes, I was to see a Panther splash. 

However, waiting is not a bad thing--and I am hoping not to see a huge deal today--but I think Morgan will grab his main guy (s) today.

I think after the Gantt and Jeremiah tweet yesterday, they set expectations really high. I’m with you, I’m fine waiting as well.

The Bears have spent the past week revamping their offensive line and they made another HUGE move on Monday with former Falcons center Drew Dalman agreeing to terms on a three-year, $42 million deal that includes $28 million in guaranteed money. Dalman was ranked as the seventh best available free agent on Prisco's top 100. 

Ben Johnson had one of the best offensive lines in the NFL when he was in Detroit and now, he's trying to build the same thing in Chicago. Here's a look at what the Bears have done over the past week: 

March 4: Acquired Jonah Jackson in trade with Rams
March 5: Acquired Joe Thuney in trade with Chiefs 
March 10: Added Drew Dalman in free agency

On paper, the Bears offensive line is already light years better than it was last year.

He said he was doing what we did last year after seeing our results.

Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Steelers are closing in on a deal with Aaron Rodgers. The interest began when it became clear to Pittsburgh that Justin Fields wanted to test free agency.

Makes more sense than other teams he's been rumored to be linked to.  They have a decent roster that can make noise with solid QB play and lack a sure-fire QB1.

FOr those who think free agency is bad, The Eagles spent $275 m in free agency last year.  For the past 5 years, every team that spent the most in free agency won 3 or more games the following year.  Jacksonville, a few years ago, won 6 more games.  Not to say these stats are long-term improvement, but probably more like a cortisone shot.

What we really should want is for the Patriots to strike out at finding an LT.

If they’re able to sign a legit LT, it opens them up to draft BPA, but if they can’t, they’ll all but be forced to draft one there, which means one less player from our board will be drafted before we’re on the clock
