Around the NFL - FA tampering/start

And the Bears had no bargaining advantage in any trade, since they have the #1 overall pick and every one knows they are taking Caleb.

It's hilarious how Sam Howell had more value in the NFL than did Justin Fields. Sam showed more upside/promise.

Fact: Sam Howell was more sought after than Justin Fields.

NFL talent evaluation told you this, not anybody’s opinion

OT Smith expected to sign with Jets per nfl.com

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.

Smith was too much of an injury risk for me.

[EdmundDorf]

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.

I wonder what the base is... $20mill is a lot for a 33 year old that's probably missing time.

@ProFootballTalk
Initial indications of the Tyron Smith deal: $6.5 million guaranteed with another $13.5 million to be earned based on playing time and other incentives. That’s why the Jets were surprised he took the offer.

The bears have traded Justin Fields to Pittsburgh and will take Caleb Williams number 1 per Adam S

For a 2025 6th rounder.....

Wow - didn’t see that coming. Guess they’re not sold on Russ. Or think Russ has a year or two left and can mentor Fields. Either way, Chicago going QB isn’t exactly a surprise.
