This will buy a guy a lot of eight-leg parlays.

That is mind boggling for a guy who is an absolute mess.

What a disastrous off-season for London except upgrading at QB with Mac Jones

And they could have kept a younger and better AJ Brown for not much more than this.

Ken Ingalls (@KenIngalls on twitter) is a great follow for Packers cap/contract analysis. He's WAY WAY WAY into the weeds on analyzing this kind of stuff. Not grading Gutey, but on determining who is a cap casualty, who's getting cut, what the *actual* effects of their contracts are on cap, who can get restructured, etc.

He thinks GB is done with big free agents because you need cap space to sign your draft picks, to extend Love, to sign random dudes you need due to injuries, etc, and by his math they're already over the 2025 cap. So there's just not a lot of flexibility left over.

I suspect that they will draft a lot of redundancy with their 2022 draft class - don't be surprised if they draft WRs because 2022 is a year away from being very costly for as good as a number have been

I remember the Washington Redskins and Dan Snyder winning the FA season many times.  ;)

True.

Although they just signed guys at random rather than having any sort of plan.

Flacco to the Colts.
A natural backup for Anthony Richardson.

Had seen them mentioned for Fields.  Cross them off

Your 2022 NFL Draft QB Class:

Kenny Pickett - benched and team signed a free agent QB
Desmond Ridder - benched then traded
Malik Willis - team drafted a QB No. 33 overall the next year
Matt Corral - cut after one year
Bailey Zappe - backup, team signed a free agent QB and is expected to draft one early
Sam Howell - traded
Skylar Thompson - backup
Brock Purdy!

Apparently no one is interested in Fields - at least at the price they are asking for him.

They are either going to need to lower their expectations significantly or figure out how to manage potential controversy with both in the locker room. Or maybe they just aren't interested in a QB to begin with.

If they can stomach it, they should wait until the draft now and see how it plays out.  Vikings and Broncos definitely appear willing to move up and get a QB.  Problem is, both could just as easily take a Bo Nix or Michael Penix if they can't move up.

Financially, they can keep both.  Would be a wild dynamic to watch play out.

Lions have signed two likely d-line starters and two starting corners.    Huh.  I can hazard a guess where Homes and Campbell felt the weaknesses were.   

Need a guard now to replace Jackson.   The draft will be all about depth and development.

That's fine.  He knows the offense, can block, and comes cheap.

Looks like they used a contract clause that allows him to be paid $1.35M above the minimum, but only count as the minimum against the cap.

And he can be cut with no cap issues.

That is a hell of a trade by the Bears.

Keenan Allen to the Bears for a 4th rounder. Both top Charger WRs gone.

Nice move by the Bears.  He's not the player he was but as a complement to Moore, you can do far worse than that.

So the Bears invested in offense.  Keeping Fields? You don't spend this money/capital on a rookie QB.  Yet...

Outside of the Swift contract, which seems rich to me, I like the moves they have made. Good value.

Williams is a plug and play QB but maybe they're leaning on keeping Fields.  I don't think it's bad to have veteran wideouts with a rookie QB.  Plus, Allen isn't a guy getting another contract, well, big one

Yeah Allen is likely a one year rental. But that's OK too.
