In more significant news, the Chiefs are bringing back both Chris Jones and L'Jarius Sneed. Jones' new contract is an overpay for a DT that will be 35 by the time it expires, but I still think it's a good move. Reid and Kelce have limited years left. The team is going to need a reboot in a few seasons anyway, so for now, hold onto the guys that have won you Super Bowls as long as they're still productive. Mahomes will be 29 next season - he's likely at least halfway through his prime already. No time to waste. As for Sneed, by tagging him they buy themselves an extra year to find a more permanent option at starting corner opposite McDuffie, since they're obviously taking a WR in the first round this upcoming draft.

The Chiefs probably aren't bringing back Sneed. Highly likely he gets traded.

With the Vikings making three early defensive moves and letting Cousins walk, I would not be surprised at all to see them package picks to trade up into the top 3 and get a QB.

At least former Washingtonians Cousins and Heinicke will presumably be teammates in Atlanta.

For the amount of money and years Atlanta handed Cousins, they can have him. I won't lose any sleep over not matching that even if it may have been better in the short term to keep him.

And now the Vikes signed Darnold which screams "half to one year solution while we try to draft Jayden Daniels and give him some time to develop".

Washington has a lot more holes than just a QB would fix. I would not be surprised at all to see them gobble up a bunch of another team's picks to move down.

The Packers just released both Aaron Jones and David Bakhtiari, also signed Josh Jacobs.  The former wanted too much money and the latter was too injury prone.

I wasn't surprised that David Bakhtiari was released, since he has barely played the last few seasons. Maybe he can make more Ehlenbach's Cheese commercials. The release of Aaron Jones was a bit harder to swallow. Hopefully, Josh Jacobs will pick up where Jones left off, or Jones' release might come back to haunt the Packers (especially if he does well for the Minnesota Vikings).

So I guess Saquon Barkley is finally gone from the Giants???

As always, it'll be interesting to see what the market is for RBs. I wouldn't mind my Vikings taking a stab at him since we released Mattison (and likely aren't re-signing Cousins) if the price is right, but I'm guessing someone like the Raiders will overpay.

He ended up with their hated rivals in Philly. And former Giant Tiki Barber said that "he's dead to me". Speaking of Philly, a Barkley will be playing for a sports team based there since Matt left the Eagles in 2014. And IIRC, Saquon will be the third overall with that surname, with the other being Sir Charles himself, who starred on the 76ers from 1984 until 1992.

Sorry about Jimmy Garoppolo

LOL Joe Flacco...dude just doesn't wanna quit.

Why should he? He played pretty damn well for the Browns last year.

Sam Howell and two draft picks traded to Seattle for two draft picks.

Sam Howell and two draft picks traded to Seattle for two draft picks.

Smart business for Seattle. Howell showed some serious potential in a tough situation in Washington last year.

I'm just confused by what's going on in Washington. Trading a late round QB on a rookie contract that looked almost certain to outperform his draft status seems like a move you only make if you're extremely desperate to rebuild the roster. But they forced themselves into that situation by trading two of their best defensive players last season. They could been a playoff team with Howell but now they're committed to being mediocre to bad for at least another year.

I declare Quinn and Peters among the biggest winners of free agency 2024.

Apparently the Jets QB may be running for Vice President.

The league won't be the same without Aaron Donald...

With the Vikings making three early defensive moves and letting Cousins walk, I would not be surprised at all to see them package picks to trade up into the top 3 and get a QB.

And now they've made a trade to acquire another first rounder. Another trade no doubt incoming (whether for a top 3 pick or maybe Herbert).

Hopefully with the Bears for the #1 pick.
