Yeah but 2 million for Travis Homer?

It makes no sense.

It's not faking anyone out except themselves.
Yea, I was just being facetious. My guess is Hightower likes him on special teams... or they may plan to dump Ro once they draft someone.

Poles doesn't want people to think we're desperate to draft Jeanty...
Signing a guy who has had 23 yards since he's been with the Bears seems pretty desperate to me lol. Dobbins would have been a nice addition but with only 90k it kinda limits our options lol

With how easy it is to create space with the cap, I figure they’ll make it work, but I’d be more tempted to trade Higgins to get the assets to build out a roster than keep him. On some level, if I have a special QB being paid top dollar, I expect him to not need two of the highest paid WRs in the league. But, I suppose the Colts did it.
It’s the Bengals. Don’t give them too much credit

The ultra-inflated QB contracts of $45-55+ million per year seemed shocking, yet somehow sustainable with their importance to the game and the way the cap was increasing.

But now with several other position groups starting to crack $30-40+ million? Gonna be interesting to see how that math correlates with winning the next 3-5 years.
Seems rookies will be more important than ever

I could have sworn you said Elijah Moore
On a related note, on St. Patty's night I drank a couple pours of Elijah Craig Barrel proof 1789, not bad, had a little heat on the front end, but opened up a bit with time. 7/10.

Why?

Really don't get this move...
I called it fb would be a major move this season. If they had more than 90k in cap they probably would have got that dude the 49ers cut. But homer is good as long as not the lead back. Either way just remember I called it

I've been trying to say since we first signed him that the guy does actually have talent and is a good pass catcher and a really good special teams player but he just can't stay healthy, shyt he was hurt a few times for us last year alone and that's with barely playing.

Apparently they will rip up the old contract and replace it with this one. Not sure how this impacts the CB market, but it's probably not really a 30 million/year deal.
This article overcomplicates things. All extensions report the years of the extension and the money for the extension.

The Texans picked up Stingley's 5th year option and thus he is under control for 5 years ie 2 years of his rookie deal and 3 years of the extension.

So the precedent is set that top CBs get 30m AAV in new money.
