2022 NFL Off-Season thread

[Lineker]

Speaking of which...

 

Other news bits from today, in no particular order:

• Russell Wilson was to count $37M in 2022. Seahawks save $11M in 2022 and take on on $26M in dead money. That's the second-most dead money a team has ever incurred. The Eagles ate $33.8M in the Carson Wentz trade.
• Broncos are releasing WR DaeSean Hamilton. Hamilton is said to be fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered last off-season. Hamilton was set to be traded to SF before his injury in 2021 and the former fourth-round pick is expected to draw interest.
• The Bills have released LB A.J. Klein, who had a $5.6M cap number this year.
• The Titans won’t be tagging OLB Harold Landry. Tennessee still hopes to re-sign Landry to a long-term deal. But if nothing is done by Monday, the 25-year-old pass rusher will head into the negotiation window as a free agent.
• Tampa are tagging WR Chris Godwin. They were unable to work out a long-term deal, but will keep trying.
• Green Bay have now officially franchise tagged WR Davante Adams.
• 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo underwent shoulder surgery today. All went as expected - successful surgery. The plan and hope is Garoppolo is throwing well ahead of training camp.
• The Jaguars have placed the franchise tag on LT Cam Robinson again.
• The Chargers and WR Mike Williams reached agreement on a three-year, $60 million deal that includes $40 million guaranteed and $28 million in year one.
• The Cowboys announced they have restructured the contracts of QB Dak Prescott and G Zack Martin to gain $22M of salary cap space. That helps fit in the Dalton Schultz franchise tag.
• Josh Reynolds has signed a two year extension with the Detroit Lions.
• Orlando Brown is deciding whether to represent himself or hire an agent. He won't sign the franchise tag in Kansas until that gets sorted out.

AKA Russell Wilson stole my thunder so we're delaying the announcement to make sure everyone is talking about me and only me.

[Lineker]

Seahawks have now released Bobby Wagner too.

 

Tennessee have given Harold Landry a five-year extension. 

[gunnar hendershow]

Tennessee is loading up on bad contracts. 

[The Buscher]

Washington reportedly made an even bigger offer for Wilson but the expectation was that Wilson would not agree to go there.

If true, I don't blame him. Trash tier organization and a field where ACLs go to die.

[Lineker]

I don't think he wanted to stay in the same conference as Seattle in any ideal world, tbh.

[LL!]

Maybe, but to go to Washington is to piss away any chance left at a SB. 

[The Buscher]

Just realized that Denver visits Seattle this season.  That's definitely going to end up in primetime, likely early in the season.

I have a hunch it might be the inaugural Amazon game.

Ahahaha

His return game in Philly will be incredible. He might feign an injury like he's Ben Simmons to get out of that game.

The NFL has officially given up on Carson Wentz so this makes total sense.

It's going to happen. It's Philly sports. Even in MLS, we traded away our former record signing Jamiro Monteiro to San Jose before the season started, after he tried to force a move last summer. Miro got sent off this weekend and is now suspended for his return to Philly

The Colts accumulated enough in this trade to likely slide back into the last of round 1 if they choose to take a QB. But, man, what a massive risk. Wentz isn't that good but he's much better than the bottom of the barrel they'll likely be trotting out otherwise.

Is there a good QB class in the 23 Draft? Maybe they are eyeing a rebuild?

Stroud, Young, maybe Rattler. It's certainly a deeper class than this one. Nothing like the 2017-2020 wave of QBs though, and the Colts completely missed out on it.

[Lineker]

Watch Wentz have two absolutely blinding games against the Eagles now. The Commanders also play the Colts this year!

Fitzmagic to the Colts plz!

Nah, Colts are going to get Jimmy Garoppolo.
