Thank you for this, it's not all doom and gloom and honestly it appears we've gotten better in key positions like O-line. Irv Smith Jr. could very well be the steal signing of the year, I'm very excited to see him this year in a prove it deal.

Burrow contract watch: The #Eagles have locked in their QB for years to come, as Jalen Hurts earns a 5-year, $255M blockbuster extension.

Highest-paid QBs in the NFL in new money average per year:

1. Jalen Hurts: $51M
2. Aaron Rodgers: $49M
3. Kyler Murray: $46.1M
4. Deshaun Watson: $46M
5. Patrick Mahomes: $45M
6. Josh Allen: $43M
T-7. Daniel Jones: $40M
T-7. Matthew Stafford: $40M
T-7. Dak Prescott: $40M

Hurts gets $110M fully guaranteed at signing (third-most ever) and $126.5M fully gtd before Year 2 (second-most).

He gets a raise this year, including a $23.294M signing bonus, and now is signed through 2028 on a deal that lets Philly keep the team intact.

If we use this as a barometer, we could be looking good..... Honestly, if a deal doesn't come down soon after this, you'd have to think that somebody is asking for something crazy. Either Burrow is asking for too much or the Bengals are playing games with him. Sadly, I think we both know which of those situations would likely be the case.

We couldn’t possibly prepare for the draft and negotiate a contract at the same time

Veteran wide receiver Allen Robinson is reportedly on his way to becoming a member of the Steelers.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Steelers and Rams are finalizing the details of a trade that would move Robinson to Pittsburgh. Robinson received permission to seek a trade last month and Pelissero reports that the Steelers have been given the green light to give him a physical.

Ratbirds signed their RB to massive money. Better surround him with more CBs in the draft tonight

Details: Lamar Jackson will be signing a 5-year contract with the #Ravens, per @JayGlazer, and the deal will make him the highest paid player in NFL history.
