Zack Moss gone. Bengals sign RB Zack Moss to a 2 year $8M deal while cutting Joe Mixon to free up $6M in cap space

I’d have been fine with him, but let’s just get Henry and bring back Dobbins or draft someone or both

Slightly surprised PQ hasn't been signed yet. We need that sweet 3rd round comp pick - get it done before teams start running low on money.

PQ back on a 1 year deal perhaps if no market really develops?

Absolutely bonkers that the RB market has been so busy. I know the draft is weak there but I still didn’t expect this.

Bring Flacco home

 

[Simba]

And at this point, despite my questioning of how Henry would fit, I might be team go for it. Don’t think the cost would be too prohibitive based on the market for others. May only be a 1 or 2 year solution but not like anyone else is a bonafide option either.

That might help a good RB fall to us in the draft. I'd like to sit the RB market out entirely and just wait for that to happen.

Makes a lot of sense.

It's a slight surprise to see the Ravens make a signing on the first day of free agency though.

Don't think this will calm the "We need to sign a star NOW! What is EDC doing?" crowd much.

Eh there are times where losing a lot of players on a day like today is rough(What the Dolphins are going through is brutal) but the bigger concern with the Ravens is quantity over any single player being amazing. And for that, just gotta fill those holes in the draft and later free agency, just like how we filled those holes last year. Geno Stone is probably the biggest loss although Darby is tough as well. RB was going to be a need anyways for us and we may be filling that sooner rather than later. And this is an amazing WR class.

Secondary and O-line are the biggest concerns for me personally but we have time on both. Overall nothing that happened today is surprising besides maybe Queen not being signed by someone yet

Has signing an old RB ever worked for us? Has it ever worked for anyone, come to think of it?

Even Mark Ingram was only good for one year before looking slow and wasting snaps that should have gone to Dobbins the next. Even he didn't represent good value.

He is the only one I would be happy to get right now. If we don't get him happy to let the market play out and get someone later in the off season for cheap and draft someone.

If Henry didn’t break the bank you wouldn’t be interested?

I don't see how he fits with our run game and I don't like what he would cost, especially in years two and maybe three of his contract.

I’d take an Ingram type of impact from Henry if it were to happen. I’d argue Ingram was a really good value for what we got out of him on and off the field.

Based on the guarantees other guys are getting, Henry would probably be no more than a 2 year deal regardless of the length of contract. Jacobs got 4/$48M and that is a 2 year deal as a whole with so many outs for Green Bay. Henry (nor really anyone sans Saquon) would have impacted this team heavily on the money front.

Off the field, I can see a case, but on the field he was a negative in 2020. We could have rode Gus into 19 off a great end to 2018, used Dobbins as we should have in 2020 and saved $15 M.

I don’t disagree with that but that’s on coaching, not the contract at that point.

It wouldn't be Free Agency if the Jets didn't sign an ex-Raven. It's an annual tradition.

Apparently the deal is done and they are working on incentives.
