Free Agents

We didn’t see quite the flurry of players moving via free agency as expected. This is especially true for some of the Wide Receivers. I personally think it has a lot to do with the salary cap dropping this season, so we saw players return to their teams on one-year deals.

The player I was most surprised returned was Aaron Jones. I was convinced the Packers were ready to let him walk and usher in the era of A.J. Dillon. Instead, they let Jamaal Williams walk, who signed with the Lions.

We did see some big names move. Most notably is Kenny Golladay who landed with the Giants. I’m not sure this really helps his value, at least compared to when he has Matthew Stafford throwing him the ball.

Probably the most interesting set of acquisitions this offseason is the Patriots signing the TE duo of Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith. This immediately reminds us of the days when the Pats had both Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. However, you have to remember they won’t have Tom Brady throwing them the ball it will be Cam Newton instead so temper those expectations a bit.

Trades

The Julio Jones trade finally happened. He has been shipped off to Tennessee. There he will pair up with A.J. Brown to become one of the best Wide Receiver corps in the NFL.

Obviously, there is a lot of impact with this trade. First off for the Falcons, Calvin Ridley is going to get peppered with targets. Russell Gage should see a large uptick as well. The big debate is to how much this helps Kyle Pitts. I’m have moved him up, but still not buying as high as some are.

For the Titans, Ryan Tannehill is the big winner here. He becomes a top-10 QB in my mind. A.J. Brown drops ever so slightly as we should expect a lot fewer targets his way. I still like him a lot though.

As for Julio. He was a target machine in Atlanta, so this move is actually a negative for him. Maybe efficiency increases, but he won’t see the volume in this run-first offense.

The Deshaun Watson trade took a strange turn of events. The news of now 21 women filing lawsuits against him is not looking good for him to be traded. There is a real possibility now the NFL places him on the exemption list.

Now we are dealing with a possible trade involving Aaron Rodgers. He has publicly said he does not want to be in Green Bay anymore. He has also already avoided camp, along with a few receivers, so this news makes it hard to draft him where we initially wanted to after the 2020 he had. However, I think wherever he plays he will be top-notch. I am more worried about the value of Davante Adams, Aaron Jones and Robert Tonyan.
