Hey Mods is it possible to add Bluesky to our media-allowed images? Twitter being up and down today, who knows if that platform will just blow up any time soon. Thanks.

Agree.

This is Bluesky’s Super Bowl with Twitter being down…posting my thoughts on NFL free agency here today. This is a massive test to see if BlueSky can handle it!

Another standout DT headed home: Sources say Bengals DT BJ Hill has agreed to terms with Cincy, striking a deal right before free agency. 3 years 33M

I think he was just in a position where he had to go with the key players first, then after all that, the line. Could have been line first then key players, but Caleb wouldn’t have been picked. It sucked but just the way it played out. But it was expected for Poles to hit the line this year because he had the rest of the pieces. Now we need better backups on the o line and a big time player on the d line. Via draft or trade.

Didn’t he say at training camp last year that the oline room was the best he has ever been around? He got humbled, which is a good thing he learned and evolved.

Lets turn our focus to pass rush now.

The Commanders have agreed to terms with former 49ers and Jets DT Javon Kinlaw, source tells @cbssports.bsky.social. Kinlaw is coming off a career-high 4.5 sacks with the Jets last season.

the quote was more like the best depth or something like that, which was true, it was just lacking on starting level players

BJ Hill re-signs with Bengals 3y $11M AAV. Would have been a pretty good DT3 for Bears if they dont plan on drafting one day 1/2.

Falcons fan: I’ve watched him every game since he was drafted. He can’t snap the ball to the QB. Hes missed a ton of games and he’s a below average pass blocker. There was 0 dropoff from him to our backup for 8 games this past season and we literally improved in pass protection without him

....the bitter Ex chimes in

He had to say that. He ain’t going to say they suck ass. Wishful thinking. He knew what he really had.

The offensive line makeover for the #Bears continues. They're poised to sign Drew Dalman at center and solve the position that has vexxed GM Ryan Poles and the franchise. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/03/10/chicago-bears-drew-dalman-nfl-free-agency/

No early free agent signings that will affect the top 10 of the NFL Draft yet. Chicago does feel like an Ashton Jeanty or defensive line landing spot after securing the interior of the OL. Can take OL off the board for Chiefs in Rd1, I think.

So with center out of the way... I am still interested in seeing edge (Bosa? Young?) or DT (Allen?).

 

[number51]

IOL is not flashy, but without a good interior OL a team can not run, pass, or keep it's QB alive.

Good signing.

Did Reed go to the Packers per someone's post? I don't see it anywhere

I have heard the same stuff from others. He’s not an AllPro center by any means. An improvement yes. But I still would draft a center this year if a good one was available in a later round. Just to develop one

Did Chase Young actually re-sign with NO or was that fan tweet full of shit?

 

[MDB111™]

Chase Young on a prove it deal would be okay. But they better be drafting a DE too.

Allen is visiting the Vikings today.
