OFFICIAL 2025 NFL News: Trades, cuts, free agency, and more

[fanotodd]

This would be the biggest fucking Browns move ever. Trade for a WR who was already overpaid and has a blown out knee. They better not give Whiners shit for this and be only a salary dump to the Browns.

This is why bad teams stay lousy. MTL draft picks would be involved. Aside from my disdain for the 9ers and ayuck, why would a team in salary cap hell want to take on that contract while giving up draft picks? They should be doing the opposite.
See Rams after the ‘22 season.

And look at those WR signings... Tutu was an overpay but not like it was by much now.

I’m looking at some of these contracts. Unbelievable. Lotta guys getting way too much $$.

Just signed with the Ravens

I did. Of see that one. Being a RFA, would he factor into the FA comp formula?

What was the deal he signed?

Damn them MOFOs!

What was the deal he signed?

I don't think so. He was an undrafted free agent and not tendered so they get no compensation.

Hey I could be wrong but history just shows they don't care to invest high dollars nor high draft picks for that position. I'm betting if we look at where we take LBs since McVay has been coach, it would show that is indeed the case.

Well, last year Barkley single-handedly beat them twice, one of those games ended their season.

The Eagles never paid LBs before, but now just re-signed Baun for $18M per yr. They never paid RB's before, but last year signed Barkley and now just gave him another extension. So as the NFL changes, team's calculations and approach change. We will see if the Rams approach has changed.

It’s fun to think of this as an ego move. Ego move? Yeah someone up there wanted Mac over Trey and was overruled. Now Shanny, I mean someone, is going to make Mac into an actual NFL starter and swing a vicious “I told you so” bat at everyone up there.

I do wonder if this complicates Purdy's contract negotiations
