Quote:The #Jaguars aren't done: Sources say they are signing former #Packers S Darnell Savage to a 3-year deal.

So far this looks like a kinda boring Free Agency. Not a disaster or anything like it so far but also no real potential for big upgrades where we needed them (DT, RT). So right now it is just depth moves hoping something good shakes loose.

U like Drew sample as our number 1 tight end this season? Lol

Jaguars likely out on Higgins:

Gabe Davis agreed with the Jaguars to a 3 year deal for $39 million with incentives that could get him to $50 million, per sources.

I was hoping JAX would trade for a Higgins reunion with TLaw.

Lol gabe Davis doesn’t change that imo

Where did you hear that all teams would stop negotiating with Mulugheta? I mean you have no idea if some teams might pass on a certain player in the draft when weighing between different selections, because Mulugheta is that player's agent. I don't think anyone is stating that a team wouldn't sign a long-term contract with a player represented by Mulugheta if the terms were agreeable to the team.

The Panthers are cutting Bell.

That’s an interesting thought although it did seem like he was eager to leave last year.

or he meant having TE2 locked up for three years contributes to ending the revolving door.

He played a lot of snaps here as a #2 TE, so not bad. We do need a pass catcher.

Well we got our bigger Von Bell in Jordan Battle.

Yep, Drew Sample is a good TE2 and that was a very fair deal for one of the best blocking TE's in the NFL.

Quote:Jets free-agent DE Bryce Huff is signing a three-year, $51.1 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles once free agency opens, per sources. The deal will make Huff the highest-paid non-QB undrafted free agent in NFL history, per sources.

Yes sir. Ben Sinnott, Cade Stover or Theo Johnson in the 3rd or 4th round would be nice to add as pass catching TE's, but they can all 
block as well. We can still bring back Tanner Hudson as well who played well for us against Zone Defenses catching the ball last year.

Starting to worry a bit.

Never said I liked him as a #1.  You cant have your entire TE group on 1 year contracts every year.

Should someone dig out the gif of the figure prodding with a stick and saying "C'mon, do something..."

I'm getting there, but OTs haven't moved, Fuller is still there too.  The 2nd wave brought us Brown Jr. last year and there could be a TE and S there this year.  DT is the one a lot of us are holding our breath on.

Early days but thought we would have had one of those top end safeties signed up by now.

Bengals all over all the cap space in the world but slow as **** to go spend it.
