  1. They risked losing him to a team offering more money. It's probably a 7th rounder or a pick swap. No big deal
  2. Welp there it is
  3. They avoided character issue guys way before Easterby discovered what football was. They backed off some smaller issues like guys who've been popped for weed, but I doubt cold cocking a female will pass muster
  4. Winner: The Texans' defense While I'd expect Houston to add a running back to replace departed free agent Devin Singletary, general manager Nick Caserio added two of my favorite free agents to the roster Monday. Both deals appear to be reasonably priced and even take a pair of free agents away from a division rival in Tennessee. The Titans weren't a great team a year ago, but two things they did well were stop the run and generate pressure up the middle. Some of that was star tackle Jeffery Simmons, but he was aided by the wildly underrated Denico Autry, who posted a career-high 11.5 sacks in his age-33 season. Autry was never going to have a wild market given his age, but I was surprised to see him sign for two years and $20 million this early in free agency. That's a great deal for a player who has been remarkably consistent and can play outside on early downs and rush from the interior in passing situations. Houston added to the mix by upgrading at linebacker and signing Azeez Al-Shaair on a three-year, $34 million pact. Al-Shaair has always been rangy, but he never seemed to get his just due in San Francisco behind Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw. Given a chance to lead in Tennessee last season, he had his best season as a pro. He posted one of the NFL's lowest missed tackles rate for an off-ball linebacker and recorded nearly 25% of Tennessee's tackles on run plays when he was on the field, the second-highest rate of any player. In reuniting with former 49ers coordinator DeMeco Ryans, Al-Shaair gives Ryans some much-needed speed and quickness at the position. https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/insider/story/_/id/39633029/2024-nfl-free-agency-grades-signings-trades-latest-best-worst-deals-draft-outlook
  5. Has that guy had scoops in the past? I'd be surprised if Houston signed Mixon based on his history, and that could easily be coming from the Mixon end
  6. That metric was pretty good considering the offensive line injuries the team dealt with all season
  7. There isn't a first round RB in this class, but there are ~9 good RBs who can be in rotations as rookies. Ray Davis played for a McVay guy at Kentucky, so he should be able to step in day one, for instance Were people freaking out last year before Caserio signed Singletary for $3.75m? How did that turn out?
  8. There's always options at running back in the banana stand
  9. He's been consistently better than Greenard, but Greenard is younger and is entering his prime
  10. Also, Aaron Jones could be a nice fit considering he played in a similar offense for the last five years, probably depending on price
  11. By the way, Arik Armstead hasn't been released yet

    2024 NFL DRAFT

    Dallas turner makes sense for them
  13. There are good RBs in the draft, although you don’t want to go into a season with them penciled in as your starter I like Ray Davis
  14. He's signing a cheap deal. Do the math
  15. I mean, he's played football since the injury healed
  16. There's still a dozen good starter level safeties out there. It'll be interesting to see which Houston signs
  17. The team knows Greenard better than anyone else. I'm not an appeal to authority guy, but when teams let their own guys walk, they're usually correct. Houston might get a good comp pick down the line Wilkins ending up in a four team auction among teams with cap space, and at some point you have to walk away when the most desperate team keeps matching offers I didn't love the idea of Saquon and I'm a bit alarmed Houston even gave him a competative offer, but I'm guessing DeMeco wanted him. Houston should be able to find good RB production for much cheaper in this offense, and also has a chance to draft a good fit like Ray Davis There will be second and third tier options out there at various positions who'll provide surplus value once teams start using up most their cap space, and the team will be deeper going after those options since it couldn't land the top of the market guys
  18. I'm more than happy that we aren't paying top-dollar for Saquon
  19. Houston has done really well with their cheap one year signings recently
