NFL Free Agency

[Kentucky Panther]

I would have loved to get DJ back. DJ, Coker, and TMac would have been a top 5 core in the league.

Still a good trade. DJ makes them better instantly. He tends to stay relatively healthy unlike most of their receivers. Saw Diggs being released also. Wouldn't be surprised to see him back in Buffalo.

He's not very good. 

Thats putting it kindly. He's one of the worst OL in the league and he's the reason why I have a lot of concerns about Bama's Proctor in the NFL. Similar builds and honestly Becton looked like the better mover in college and it's been Becton's lack of movement ability that has caused him to just be a gigantic turnstile in the NFL.

DJ has been dealing with a back injury for 2 seasons now. The Bears got the best of this trade.

I thought Becton was good when he was with the Eagles he helped open up the run game for Saquon. Not sure how he did with the Chargers I do know that he is injury prone soo maybe not

Wouldn't surprise me to see him end up back there. That's about the only offense he really fits.

Makes sense for both teams IMO. Bills are in win now mode and the Bears are loaded at WR. Bears get more draft capital and the Bills get a better instant impact WR than they'd likely find in the 2nd round.

Didn’t know that but generally realized he is getting up there in miles.

Thats why you judge OL by their fluidity of movement and upper and lower body strength. The only advantage to Proctor is he also played basketball. He's pretty nimble for a man that size. Of course that doesn't mean he will be good but he has some advantages others do not have.

He can still catch but he's showing wear and tear. Words to the wise.

I am not looking at his stats but thought he was still productive this year. Looked at a couple of their box scores.

Doesn't really mean anything. Anyone big enough and athletic enough to be a high NFL draft pick on the OL is gonna be a pretty dominant HS basketball player on sheer size and athleticism alone.
