No numbers yet but agreed to, is what I heard.  We should know soon.

Okay. Vonn Bell back at vet minimum is a good one. Gives us two smart safeties and Bell is more in the enforcer mold than Stone.

[BengalsLUFC]

I’m all for it if the only thing he does is teach the young ens to communicate it’s worth the money.

Welcome back Juju killer.

[wanga]

Awesome depth imo. Love Vonn.

Moving Dax around is directly opposite form what Lou said in needing Dax to learn to do one thing very well.

Maybe after he has had more time to see Dax in action, he doesnt believe Dax can play safety at the level needed.

Do the Chiefs have a right or left tackle right now? Last year they lost Brown and replaced with 2 tackles on 1-year deals if my memory is correct.

I think those are both available options for us at RT.

My wish is we get a serviceable vet at RT on a 1-year deal and then draft a RT with pick #18. Give our rookie some time to develop if not ready week #1.

Maybe...?  Whatever it is, it doesn't look good on Dax.  Stone replaces him at FS, Bell & Battle at SS, Hilton is starting at NCB.

Bell also makes it 5 safeties in the room.  Surely they are not planning on trying Dax at boundary again?

Their LT signed a 4-Year deal. Their RT is available and one I'd be happy with as a stop-gap/mentor

Donovan Smith was their LT this past year but he was hurt a lot and is a FA so who knows.

Panthers are still paying Bell this year, thus he would be at vet minimum for us, likely a 1 year deal.

Yeah I saw on X it was a one year deal hoping at vet min.

So with around 20M in 2024 money, they can still sign Reader and a stopgap fringe tackle. That or another NT, and a few value signings.

Also, what happened to Fuller? I see nothing on him at all except internet from Cincy a few days ago.

I would bet that there is a better chance that we sign Kristian Fulton before we consider Fuller.  Fulton is the former HS and College teammate of Chase and he is not very good.

I dont really understand it, but hear it may be happening.

He's gonna be our new Chris Crocker.

Patriots have made preliminary calls about Tee.

Detroit still being mentioned as a potential landing spot. Jags haven’t been mentioned but worth keeping an eye out on given they lost Ridley.

I think the Patriots called 2 weeks ago.....

They also called on Mike Williams, he is now available, cheap.
