Charges cut Bulaga two injury riddled years into his contract.


Not that signing Ricky Wagner was a better move, not resigning Bulaga appears to have been right. As we've often seen with letting our ~30ish plus aged lineman walk.

Let's really hope Bakhtiari bucks the trend. Hall of Famers often do, and Bak is headed there at the rate he is going.

Oren Burks to the Niners. Surprised hes already scooped up.

2 year deal worth $5million dollars. Good for Oren!
Surprising, they usually field good linebackers.

How do we feel about DJ Chark to the Lions?

How about bringing him home as a backup RT? On the cheap of course.

Browns looking real rough.

Releasing Tretter, OBJ, Landry and Austin Hooper all in like 4 months from the offense.

Then take on a stupid Amari Cooper contract.

They look all but done with Baker Mayfield who is on his 5th year option.

I don’t think Stefanski has much of a chance to make it past year 3, may not be much his fault.

Mayfield all but wrote a goodbye letter to Cleveland. They are in on Watson (but doubt he goes there). Such a mess. Had a promising team but it all went to hell again. They'll end up with Jimmy G and suck again.

Washington set to release DL Matt Ioannidis and I know we're tight with the cap but if he's cheap after release I want him. Super underrated and good. Like a rich man's Dean Lowry.

Cheaper than Preston, even if he maxes it out. (Which is what we said might happen; don't think he would have taken this from us, plus his dead cap hit would have made that cost us more anyway)

As a Landry fantasy owner, I can get behind this. Ridley out for the year. Lost Gage in free agency. Target monster status could return

I am not asserting that there is anything intentional or any agenda--or that it is a statistically valid observation rather than the phenomenon where you see what you're looking for.

But it is WILD how often the Packers, last year's 1-seed, have been shown on the wrong side of the highlight reels on the NFL Network b-roll these past two days.

I'm so mad Russel Gage went to Tampa. He could have been a solid addition to a lot of places, but a great separator in the slot is exactly what Brady thrives on.

I wasn't hot on his trail for us (though he'd have been fine), but man, he's a PERFECT fit for Tampa as their #3

Right this would have been all boom signing. Instant impact. Hate he's with the enemy

And the Titans don’t have a 2nd round pick this year for him.


That’s even worse than pushing back cap dollars, imo.

Julio must have been hurt last year? Or was it just because he was playing in Tennessee that his number fell off a cliff?

I was holding out misguided hope that we would somehow find a way to bring him back.

Crazy if you would have told me after their 2nd year with us that we are both keeping Preston and letting Z walk. And yet after their 3rd year it seems like a pretty reasonable scenario. He was overshadowed by Z when they both played but Preston Smith is still a very good outside linebacker, probably the best we have had in the Rodgers era besides CM3 and Z.
