Around the NFL - FA tampering/start

The Bears are either keeping Fields or their asking price is something ridiculous

Vikings making moves:

@AdamSchefter
Vikings now have announced a draft-pick trade with the Texans:

🏈Vikings receive: No. 23 and No. 232

🏈Texans receive: No. 42, No. 188 and a 2025 2nd-round pick.

Minnesota now positioned to potentially pursue a quarterback in round one.

My mind isn't grasping why Houston made this trade. This draft class seems to be loaded at a number of positions and yet the Texans trade away pick No. 23 which could have brought them a player like Brian Turner, Jr., Amarius Mims, Ernest Rakestraw or another fine prospect. Nope, I don't get it at all.

Or they’re planning to keep Fields unless they get a Herschel Walker-type offer. That’s my guess.

Thinking the same thing. They are a win now team. One playmaker could put them over the top.

Also, one more tackle in the FA market:

@RapSheet
The #Titans have released OT Andre Dillard, who carried a $10.7M cap hit.


Ranked 108 out of 136. No thank you.

OT Smith expected to sign with Jets per nfl.com

1 year, up to $20 mil.

Smith was too much of an injury risk for me.

A good young swing tackle with upside to start would be nice, in case a rookie tackle struggles or that they go forward with you know who at RT. A Josh Jones(27) from the Texans or Yosh Nijman(28) from the packers, assuming they dont take a chance on Mekhi Becton type.

1 year, up to $20 mil.

Looks like a lot of it is incentive based on playing time, which is smart, but I would prefer other options so kinda glad we didn't get him, though would be interested to know if we were involved with the bidding.
