Fts!

Bummer. The Iosivas ascension makes it less painful though.

Perine to the Chiefs.

Really good stuff from Charlie. Touches on why the Bengals pretty much made no effort to bring TB back. They wanted versatility and I think they’ve nailed it.

Sounds like Aiyuk to Pittsburgh for a 1st. Doubt their Super Bowl odds change. Currently +5000 (which seems high for a strong defense and a quarterback whose won one before.)

Agreed - also thought it was interesting they went Nabers (who had the character whispers) over Odunze who they had blue. Talent wins out but I imagine Nabers gets incredibly sick of Jones at some point this season.

Burton - Character All - Medical Newton - Good guy/Leader Color codes were speculation further down in the X thread.

Really excited about this guy.

Awesome payday for TB. Glad he didn’t end up in Pitt/Bal/Buff/KC. How did that guy not end up in Buffalo now that I think about it?

TB looks to be joining Callahan.

I wouldn’t have minded Wilson there but they clearly wanted someone who could play inside/outside and Wilson is a projection at best to play Z. He’s smaller than most corners and has short arms. Burton may end up being a grade A shithead, but he has played both boundary positions against SEC corners and consistently destroyed them down the field. The one thing Tyler Boyd couldn’t do is catch the ball down the field. Burton is the best in this draft at doing that. Added plus is that it kills the Boyd to Pittsburgh possibility

There it is.

This thing is super impressive. Keeps throttling when pinned between the sideline and DB and gets his head around at the last second and can contort body to make plays on the boundary. Runs away from guys on deep crossers. Big, strong, kid that is going to see a lot of free releases. Bounces off smaller DB’s. A lot of nice contested catches and holds onto the ball against contact. Great awareness on empty spots on off-script. I think he’s going to be impact guy day 1. Will be interesting to see if he’s getting a lot of reps at Y with Tee and Jamarr in camp. Have three different flavors with Gesicki/Jones/Burton.

Really like this comp. Same size/demeanor/hands.

He’s going to be playing snaps this year. Him being primarily a Z will let Chase get some slot snaps - and they wanted to get more athletic in the slot. Chase and Gesicki will accomplish that.

Incredible player. Supposedly a huge shithead. Very surprised they pulled the trigger. might have had 0 drops last year?

Bengals have got to start shelling out Y2 gtd. money if they want a level playing field. Maybe they don’t view Tee worth the money or don’t want to pay both - but it’s tough watching Jessie and Tee escape in the span of 3 years over gtd cash.

Big boy must have taken a shit in the urinal at the precinct.

I would assume the Bills trading Diggs to another AFC contender probably tells you that they don’t think he has it anymore. $31M in dead cap and didn’t have over 100 yards in the final 13 games of the year.

Woah

Justin Simmons out in Denver. That one would be at the tippy top of my list. Paul and Jay have made it abundantly clear they’ve been hearing the Bengals are getting a vet safety. Vic Fangio in Philly probably makes the most sense there.
