Free as a Bird
The NFL hotstove is heating up with a flurry of activity over the weekend in preparation for upcoming free agency season. (That's how you do it MLB- don't screw it up again next year)
Chris Jones signed a monster deal to stay with the Chiefs. Baker stayed a Bucc and Russell Wilson is headed to steel town. Those were the most notable transactions but there are a lot of high quality players set to become FAs as many cap stretched teams try to get their houses in order before what has been pegged to be a notably strong draft class.
49ers are cutting Arik Armstead, which is unfortunate, but necessary due to his high salary and recent injury history. This will likely give them the payroll flexibility to add another DT or an edge player to play opposite Bosa or possibly both. Let the irrational takes begin.
There should be a lot of activity the next couple days as extensions and cuts continue to happen before free agency kicks off on Wednesday.
Shill me who you are hoping your team cuts or extends in the next couple days.
Sats for all,
GR
