The Cowboys, like they usually do, restructured Lamb's and Prescott's contracts freeing up to 56 million in cap space. Ironically they can free even more with a Parsons extension. For this year, of course, because they become albatross of cap hits down the line when the only option is to do yet another extension just to get breathing room. Dak will be 36 when he's up for an extension again, and he has a reconstructed ankle and hamstrings. The future looks great.
Eagles sign Baun for 3 years. I'm so glad that Howie has finally started realizing the importance of linebackers. Of course, it probably was Vic Fangio's influence. I'm very happy right now.
Raiders made Maxx Crosby the highest paid non-QB in NFL history. 3 years, 103 million. Insane money. Micah Parsons is doing the SHOW ME THE MONEY dance to his agent on the phone.
I didn't watch much of the Raiders this past season, but he sure doesn't seem worth that kind of money. It probably makes things very difficult for the Eagles to trade for Myles Garrett. He's really going to get paid next year.
I'm sure it helps that they don't have a franchise QB in place right now, and if they get one in the draft, Crosby's deal will be done by the time they have to pay him. That's the right way of looking ahead and planning well.
Seahawks traded Geno Smith to the Raiders for a 3rd round pick. Nobody was expecting that. Looks like Seattle will go after Sam Darnold. Smith reunites with Pete Carroll in Vegas...
