The Lions are signing CB D.J. Reed to a three-year, $48 million deal, per source.

After losing Carlton Davis, Detroit finds secondary help in the form of the ex-Jet.

CB Carlton Davis to the New England Patriots on a $20M AAY deal (Schefter)

Okay this one upset me
The Giants are signing former Saints DB Paulson Adebo, per source.

I’m glad Twitter is down cus the whining by Vikings fans would be deafening as all the guys they had their hearts set on come flying off the board while chanting “Fire Kwesi” like he didn’t put on a masterclass last year

Ben Johnson's offense has had a Top 2 OL for basically his entire time in Detroit.

Clearly he has NO INTENTION of seeing if it still cooks without a decent OL on paper.

The only way a Ben Johnson offense was going to work in Chicago was to have great line play.

Bears offseason champs again I can feel it!
Drew Dalman to Chicago has felt like a lock for weeks now. I know folks have mixed opinions on him but I do like that, after last year’s disaster class, they gave Williams a veteran center.

The Ben Johnson era begins with a major investment in the new IOL—Thuney-Dalman-Jackson.

I know Vikings fans wanted him but that’s crazy for a C. Vikes line wasn’t THAT BAD for most of the season. Upgrades are needed but not at these prices. Kwesi will find his deals like he did last year
The Bears are signing C Drew Dalman to a three-year, $42 million deal with $28 million guaranteed.

Don’t let him leave
Per colleague Jeremy Fowler, free agent DT Jonathan Allen plans to visit the Vikings. Allen overlapped in Washington with Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell when O'Connell was an assistant coach there.

This is exactly why the Daniel Jones makes sense and has literally 0 risk. Let this group get a good look at him & maybe he’s McCarthy’s backup in 2025
#Vikings 1st Round draft pick JJ McCarthy has previously mentioned all the QBs at the NFL combine wanted to end up with the Vikings. Players in the league are taking notice.

We are so thankful to have coach O’Connell here in Minnesota.
