NFL Offseason 2024: I guess Belichick can relate to 24 year olds after all.

The Packers announced further land purchases near Lambeau. Some are lamenting the fact that the charm of a stadium surrounded by a normal neighborhood is being lost little by little. Link is to a pic of Lambeau being constructed in the middle of a cornfield, which is now part of a massive city center.

Does "some" mean the kind of person who eats ice melting salt straight from the dump truck?

I don’t have a link to the post but Terrell Davis was just handcuffed by federal authorities with no due process because a flight attendant tried to make him out to be a criminal. They believed he was innocent and apologized profusely but you better believe he’s gonna sue the hell out of the company. Of course it was United.

United is generally regarded as anyone who has ever flown with any regularity to be the most difficult prominent airline to deal with in the area of customer services.

Not the worst airline but the most difficult. They have a reputation for confrontation amongst its customers.

Pretty big blow for the Saints offense: NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Saints RT Ryan Ramczyk (knee, reserve/PUP) will miss the entire 2024 season. He had started 16 games in 2022 and 12 games last year.

Saints signed WR Rashid Shaheed to a one-year, $5.2 million contract extension.

Dolphins EDGE Shaquil Barrett retired from the NFL after 9 years. He finished his career with 400 tackles and 59 Sacks.

Kenyan Drake retired after eight seasons in the NFL. Best season was 2020 when he ran for 955 and 10 TD.

Prove it for 1 year and you get to make wild bank! Interesting that Love got more than Tua though.

Packers signed Jordan Love to a four-year, $220 million extension. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the contract’s $55 million-per-year average makes Love the highest-paid QB in NFL history and includes “a record $75M Signing Bonus plus $155M in new full guarantees.”

Dolphins signed Tua Tagovailoa to a four-year, $212.4 million extension. The deal includes $167 million in guarantees and his $53.1 million per-year average ranks third at the position.

Bad day for racists in Wisconsin but, imo, great day for the team.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Bucs OG Sua Opeta suffered a torn ACL in training camp. He had signed 1 year deal after getting starts with the Eagles in 2023.

Broncos coach Sean Payton said OT Quinn Bailey suffered a fractured ankle during Wednesday’s practice. Could be a season ender as he was largely working as a 6th OL last year. A blow to their depth.

Patriots signed DT Davon Godchaux to a two-year $21 million contract extension. Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the deal is worth “up to” $21 million and features $16.5 million in guarantees. Patriots continue to re-sign all their defensive players, largely in the face of what Belichick likely would have done. I can't complain too much as the Pats D was great at times last year but I'm not sold that all of these guys needed to be re-signed and I feel like the Pats could've gotten cheaper options and done more to focus on offense.

Bears signed WR DJ Moore to a four-year, $110 million contract extension. Moore and the Bears agreed to a deal that locks him in for four more years, with $82.6 million guaranteed out of $110 million. Good move for Chicago to lock him up until 2029 with a young QB at the helm, giving him a reliable/consistent WR1 to team with.

So basically Aiyuk was like, "Nah, I don't want to go to NE."

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Patriots “have decided not to explore any further trade possibilities” with the 49ers for WR Brandon Aiyuk.

The Patriots were rumored earlier to have framework of a deal with the 49ers for Aiyuk, but are now out on the 26-year-old. NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco added that the Patriots were prepared to offer the largest deal among the Aiyuk suitors, over $30 million per year. Schefter adds that the Patriots “are excited about their young receivers and want to focus on them.”

I still kinda like the guy and always hope the Jets do well (they're my pop's team and perpetual losers) but... rain?? It's football!

Rondale Moore is out for the year after suffering a knee injury. Bad blow to Atlanta's offensive hopes.

Cowboys acquired CB Andrew Booth from the Vikings in exchange for CB Nahshon Wright. A bit of a surprising deal as Booth was a 2nd Round pick in 2022 (42nd overall) while Wright was a 3rd Round pick in 2021 for Dallas. Both players had struggled to make much of a dent for their teams in terms of being starters so maybe a new change of scenery will help.

Patriots released WR JuJu Smith-Schuster. Another whiff from free agency by Belichick alongside guys like Jonnu Smith (who notably had 500+ receiving yards for Atlanta last year... just a bad fit for the Pats system).

Good news for the Lions as it initially sounded like it could've been worse.

ESPNs Adam Schefter reports Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs suffered a strained hamstring in practice Monday.

Cowboys acquired DT Jordan Phillips and a seventh-round pick from the Giants in exchange for a sixth-round pick.

Falcons acquired EDGE Matthew Judon from the Patriots in exchange for a third-round pick. Patriots clearly weren't going to pay Judon (no idea why tbh given the contracts they were giving out to basically every other defensive player on the roster). I feel like they could've gotten a better haul but Judon also just wanted out and the situation would've grown more sour with each week so time for both parties to move on. Possible 1st pick here we come!

Browns signed LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah to a three-year contract extension worth up to $39 million.

Tavon Austin retired after 10 seasons in the NFL. Was the go-to receiver for Geno Smith at West Virginia, memorably taken 7th overall IIRC by Jeff Fisher and promptly busted hard with the Rams while they struggled to really figure out the best way to utilize him. Did have 3 Punt Return TDs in his first 4 seasons though. One of those players that was super exciting in college and never had the right fit/scheme to let him shine the same way in the NFL, unfortunate.

Cincinnati quickly losing depth... RB Chris Evans was carted from Bengals practice with an air cast on his right leg. The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. reports moments later, that Bengals backup T D’Ante Smith “went to the ground screaming in pain.” An air cast was applied to his left leg before the cart took him away.

Falcons loading up their defense now: Signed Justin Simmons, formerly of the Broncos, to a one-year, $7.5 million contract.

Giants released CB/S Jalen Mills while Cowboys signed DE Carl Lawson, formerly of the Jets.
