Something that is rarely used but I think would be worth using with McNeil is the transition tag. It essentially makes him a restricted free agent and allows the Lions to match any offer sheet. Let him test the market and if it gets out of hand let him walk.
I simply don't know what the Vikings plan is. They have almost no picks next year. I mean literally they just have a 1 and a 5 next year. That's it. Is this team all in or rebuilding? They let Hunter and Cousins walk, but then made big signings for Greenard. They still have to pay Jefferson. I guess that's how they can recoup picks. Kwesi has been a pretty poor drafter. I wonder how long he survives?
They did experiment with Malcolm Rodriguez at fullback. I think Vaki is going to challenge for RB3, kick returner, and special teams ace but I could see him getting defensive reps if they need them.
Yeah Rams fans don't like that. Apparently Stafford refused to restructure his contract to help the Rams with the cap. he restructured multiple times with the Lions. I bet it's Kelly who wants the money guaranteed.
The scuttlebutt on the Rams forum is that Goff is asking for the same money as Herbert. Not sure what their source is. I'm assuming local sources. Herbert signed for 5/262 so 4/210 would be about right for Goff. Probably 100+ guaranteed.
There's really no coincidence these protests are happening in an election year like the George Floyd protests in 2020. It's also not a coincidence that these campus protests intensified 6 months after the Hamas attack when Trump's trial started.
I think 4/200 is the floor. Hurts, Burrow, Herbert, Jackson all signed 5 year deals for 250+. Goff is older than those QBs so I think it will be a 4 year deal.
