The #Jaguars deal for AJ Bouye pays him $44M over the first 3 years. Hefty.

One year deal is strange.


Yeah, I guess it's a prove it deal. They're probably afraid of a suspension/PED scare, so they want him to stay clean for a year. It works out because if he does well, they'll have the cap space in 2018 and beyond to do a long term deal, and if it doesn't he's gone after 1 year with no effect on the cap. But I would've at least liked him locked up for longer

Duron Harmon has signed a four-year, $20 million contract to stay with the Patriots, per source.

Happy that Harmon is returning. Need some stability in that secondary, with Butler and Ryan looking like goners.

There are other ways to work that though. You can make his guaranteed money waived if he tests for PED like they did with Lane Johnson. I mean, it's a prove it deal obviously, but I just don't know if I like it. I don't think he's worth $14m either.

Lets say he does play well and not get suspended, then you have to either tag him or give him a huge contract next year. This seems insane. Hopefully sites are just misreporting this.

It's strange, but they'll have the cap space. If he can prove himself, then next year Sproles and JP come off the books, and that's not counting other people like Kendricks, Kelce, and Celek. So they'll have the room to extend him if they want

Yeah I definitely don't prefer this, but I can see the logic. I would've liked him locked up for at least 2 years, but oh well

From what I understand, the #Browns are weighing simply releasing Brock Osweiler after trading for him. NBA style

How does this impact our cap space? Brock Osweiler turned is on his Rasheed Wallace shit minus actually playing for the team he was traded to. Brock can come to Arizona on a backup deal.

Now the Browns are guaranteed to get a QB in this draft or next. Either we get Deshone, Deshaun, or take a flyer on Mahomes if we draft a QB this year. Next year's class and the one after that are where the studs are. If none of these options work then trade for a young veteran backup.
