I don't like it either. No QB alone is going to make much difference when the offensive line sucks like it has the last several years.

And the D-line.  And the linebackers.  And the secondary.

Bills fans can correct me but…..

Nothing on their defense is scary. One of their top safeties is likely gone. The other coming off a missed year and north of 30. Gonna lose their MLB who didn’t achieve expectations anyways. Von Miller is old and coming off an ACL. The rest of the D line is mostly draft underachievers. The corners don’t scare anyone.

#2 is certainty nothing to laugh at but that defense just doesn’t look great on paper. Now, with Allen, the defense is enough to win a SB……unless they play Cincy or KC to get there. Buffalo is at best the third best team in the conference and if NY gets Rodgers that might change. I also think Jax is likely better this year too.

Standing by for incoming fire.

Bills had the #2 defense in the NFL last season.

When a top 2 defense gets “bent over” in the postseason that probably has more to do with coaching, IMO. Unless you’re missing a day and night difference player like Parsons.

According to most of us here, the analytics community, and most of the talking heads, the Bills were the best team in the NFL before Miller popped his ACL and Allen injured his arm.

They have an entire offseason to get healthy and patch up their roster.

So, as of today, we're talking 3 quarterbacks in the top 5? In this order: Bryce Young > CJ Stroud > Anthony Richardson.

Despite there being no actual football being played, the stretch between combine rumor week and the opening of FA is one of my favorite times of the season.

There are lots of interesting roster construction choices and very high stakes decisions being made.

I’m hoping this is an elaborate troll job.

The Falcons currently only have needs at QB, WR, G, T, DL, DE, OLB, CB, and S.

Using draft capital and all your salary cap on QB and filling out the rest of those positions with late round picks and veteran minimum contracts will surely work. Right?

He wants a new contract too. The $20M he is due this year isn't good enough anymore. Even though he is a 31 year old receiver coming off a suspension season.

I am hoping Dan Snyder trades for him on his way out the door. A nice $500 million contract, fully guaranteed.

There have been rumors linking him to the Chiefs. I'm very much disinterested in them going that direction.

WR is a major need, and the market is bad, but he ain't it.

If the Falcons fill in some of those weak spots instead of blowing their wad on Jackson they may find out that Ridder is good enough for a few years, makes more sense to me to do it that way but what do I know...

Another noteworthy item in the Lamar deal. The franchise tender cut-off sign date is July 15th. The Ravens can NOT trade Lamar until after he signs his tender. Which means he can force them into waiting all the way into July if he wants.

Yesterday TF was quoted as saying basically it doesn’t matter who the QB is if you don’t have a team around him. Currently his focus is on building that team.

I don’t put a lot of faith in that because at some point they have to win games. I think they are on the right path but their seats are getting warm.

Right at the buzzer. Which is probably why Daniel Jones is in the $40's. Wanted to get that tag in on Barkley.

Could be a smokescreen but for what? Maybe they have a deal brewing to move up in the draft for a QB, maybe the reports are just true with no strings attached. Fontenot said there would be an addition to the QB room but didn't specify if it would be a rookie to compete with Ridder or a veteran to help him along, either one would be less expensive and make more sense at this stage of the program than making a ridiculous deal for Jackson.

WSB-TV reporter (Atlanta) Zach Klien heard similar things in the aftermath of Jackson being given the non-exclusive tag.

   Per multiple NFL league sources, Lamar Jackson is not going to play for the Atlanta Falcons.

   Team will not engage in talks with Baltimore. It's not happening.

Presumably because they were a team he would waive his trade clause for. Then the Browns were willing to offer 3 firsts and a fully guaranteed contract and bo one else was remotely that desperate.

While this is plausible, this is exactly what I would "leak" if I were planning to make significant moves to bolster WR/TE.

Edit: $40MPY avg ties Daniel Jones at 7th highest with Dak and Stafford.

Eagles don't use their franchise tag again.

All of the recent reports came from circular reporting referencing the same report from a click-bate rumor monger.  Any actual reporter with NFL sources have been consistently reporting the opposite.  Comments from the Falcon's owner, GM, and head coach all point to them building a team around Ridder.  

People like to insinuate that the Falcons aren't happy with Ridder because they haven't named him the starter.  It is in their best interests for other teams to think that the Falcons want a QB in the draft.  Every team that trades up ahead of the 8th pick to take a QB, means one more defensive player still on the board.  It would be stupid to tell everyone what they plan to do prior to the draft.
