3/18 @4pm NFL Free Agency & Trading Period

The Los Angeles Chargers would like to work out a multi-year deal with tight end Hunter Henry, who is set to be a free agent. But they are more than likely willing to franchise tag him, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

The franchise tag would pay Henry a little over $11 million in 2020, per Over the Cap. That would be a significant increase in pay on his $1.2 million base salary for 2019.

When healthy, he is easily one of the league’s top tight ends. He’s averaging 8.9 yards per target and has 17 touchdowns in 41 games. Along with his impressive skillset as a pass-catcher, Henry has been a reliable run-blocker.

Hunter Henry appears to be off the market. That sucks, he seemed to be the better pass catcher btw Hooper but probably not as good of a blocker but still a good blocker.

Looks like Hooper or bust at this point

Back the Brinks truck up for Hooper. Get it done.

All I want for Christmas are my two front targets (Hooper in FA and Chase in draft).

We have the cap space and the cap is going to increase. Pay the man.

@JennaLaimeESPN is reporting

Two players I’m told are being shopped around, per sources in Indy: Cordy Glenn (Bengals) and Trai Turner (Panthers). If no trade partner can be found, Glenn would be released.

Turner over Moses???

Turner plays Guard I believe.

Cordy Glenn has struggled with injuries for years, has a $9.5 million cap number, will turn 31 in September and had similar injury-chemistry problems in Buffalo before the Bills were happy to unload his contract via trade.

Guard Trai Turner on the other is 26-year-old, will be just 27 by the start of training camp, has been to five straight Pro Bowls, and has two years remaining on the four-year, $45 million contract he signed with Carolina back in 2017.
His cap hit does bump up to nearly $13 million for 2020 and balloons to $15.4 million in 2021, so that could be part of the reason why the Panthers are allegedly looking to cut bait.
Question for the Cap experts on this site:, if the Panthers $13 million cap number in 2020 for Turner is broken down to $8.5 million in base salary and $3.9 Millions in prorated bonus, how much of that goes to the new team? The entire thing ro just the base salary? Cause $8.5 Million is not terrible for 27 year old five time probowler, $13 million is too much.

I mean, Ill take this Ron connection over Bradberry at 15 mill. I think you have to look at how much would you offer Flowers at a resigning and if a couple million more per to get Turner....then you get Turner. Having Schreff Rouierre/Martin and Turner in the interior...shit, sign me up. That's solid

I am sure Schneed will have the exact details but I think the new team would only have to cover the salary not the bonuses.... . So it would be a good contract for a pro bowler in their prime, but because of that they will want a good haul of draft picks in return..... which the Redskins dont have. They likely wont take players as a swap because this trade tells us that they are in rebuild mode. But someone like Seattle, New England or Philapdelphia will be at the head of the queue

Last I read it was 63M available but not sure if that is legit

Laremy Tunsil wants $19-20 million per season

Last week from the NFL scouting combine, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle cited sources that said Tunsil wants “at least” between $19-20 million per season. Lane Johnson of the Philadelphia Eagles is the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL at $18 million per season.

Texans paid a lot to get Tunsil

Just before last season, the Texans shipped a 2020 first-round pick, a 2021 first-round pick, a 2021 second-round pick, cornerback Johnson Bademosi and tackle Julien Davenport to the Texans for Tunsil, wide receiver Kenny Stills, a 2020 fourth-round pick and a 2021 sixth-round pick. The key to that trade, without question, was Tunsil.

Texans, I understand why you went all in. You have Hopkins, Watson, JJ Watt is getting older ... and to a degree if kinda worked. You were sitting in the Division playoffs up 21-0 in the 1st Q against the eventual SB winning Chiefs.

How the hell did you not have a sign and trade or some kind of new LTD agreed to w Tunsil BEFORE the trade.

2 1st rounders .... are walking out your door.

Tough break. The kinda gamble that could set you back a ways.
