Lions also signed Cade Mays away from Carolina. The 3rd best center available (behind Linderbaum, and McGovern).

Chiefs signed vet safety Alohi Gilman to help stop the bloodletting there.

Turns out the Raiders didn't need to cut Geno Smith, instead the Jets traded for him.

Patriots to sign Romeo Dobbs away from GB.

I wonder if the chiefs are trying to go back to the 2018-2020 period of elite offense while their defense tries to hang on.
That was back when Mahomes was in his early 20s & fresh in the league. Now he'll be 31 this Sept & with the ACL injury, it's unknown whether or not he could get back to that level of play. There's a lot more uncertainty with a major knee injury involving a mobile, running QB vs a pure pocket passer. And he may not even be ready to start the season.

And the Raiders get the Jet's 6th & 7th rd picks...not bad.

And Geno is back to where it all started. Will it be any different this time? I see the Jets have already listed him on the depth chart as the starter followed by Fields, Cook & Hooker.

But there's still a lot of questions: Are they going to draft Ty Simpson? What are they going to do with Fields? Does Hooker get a chance to compete for the backup?

Good pick up for the Patriots with Doubs and pretty cheap compared to others. Hendrickson still on the board, 49ers scrambling to keep Trent Williams and will have to overpay him of course or trade him but a trade seems unlikely. 49ers also fielding calls about Mac Jones but teams have said the asking price is astronomical ! Wonder where Fields will end up ?

This puts a mar on Maxx without question. He was adamant that he should be playing the last two games of the season when the team shut him down. That helped facilitate his being traded. And his knee the reason it didn't happen.

One of two things will happen now. 1. He becomes trade bait, and another team takes him when he heals (likely a few weeks), maybe Dallas or Chicago, could be on draft day. But it won't be two first round picks. 2. He stays with the Raiders, gains some humility, and considering he actually is a very hard worker, has a hell of a season for them, and is traded after the season.

Someone is going to grab Ty Simpson in the 2nd round, and I don't think it will be the Jets. My guess is Pittsburgh, Arizona, maybe even Carolina. It depends on how far he falls in the 2nd round.
