They still have plenty of picks and got to keep all of their young talent. I'd have done it too. It's the salary that's bizzaro to me.

Maybe they’ll get a first rounder back by trading Baker?

Not bad at all when you remove the fluff. These will be numbers Veach and Tyreek agent negotiate around.

Well, that is relieving. Makes negotiations with Hill much more reasonable and keeps them in line with what reasonable territory sounded like before the contract was announced.

Sources: Free agent safety Tyrann Mathieu expected to sign with the Panthers today. The move pairs Matheiu with recently acquired Xavier Woods on the back end, allowing Jeremy Chinn to move down and play in the box.

Looks like the tweet was from yesterday, so we'll see

[Dante84]

That dude is getting toasted in the replies, I guess Carolina fans don’t buy it.

This is from yesterday so they are calling BS:

Panthers are not signing Tyrann Mathieu, per source. Team feels like it has its safeties in Jeremy Chinn and just-acquired Xavier Woods.

Would def prefer him in the NFC though!

For some reason I feel like he will end up in our division…

ESPN's Todd McShay Mock 3/19/22

30. Kansas City Chiefs
Daxton Hill, S, Michigan

Kansas City allowed 5.9 yards per play in 2021 (30th) and 7.3 yards per pass attempt (24th), and safety Tyrann Mathieu is a free agent. Pass rush, wide receiver and offensive line are all units that could use another contributor, but this one just made too much sense. Hill is a fast riser after a great combine showing (4.38-second 40-yard dash), and he's a rangy defensive back with versatility. He has the free safety traits to match slot receivers in man coverage and the physicality to support the run like a strong safety. Hill would help contain the vertical passing games of division-mates Justin Herbert and Russell Wilson.

Also noteworthy he has ATL trading back into the 1st ahead of us with MIA...

MOCK TRADE: Atlanta jumps for another first-round pick
With four picks left in Round 1, only two quarterbacks have been selected. That means teams could be eyeing a move to grab one and secure the fifth-year option as they develop him. The Falcons -- who drafted receiver Drake London earlier -- take the leap here, sending one of their second-rounders (No. 43), a third-rounder and a fifth-rounder to the Dolphins for the No. 29 slot. Miami, which originally acquired this pick from the 49ers as part of last year's trade involving San Francisco's eventual selection of Trey Lance, can still find offensive line help early in the second round. Look for the Dolphins to consider Central Michigan's Bernhard Raimann or Washington State's Abraham Lucas on Day 2. As for Atlanta ...


29. Atlanta Falcons (via mock trade with MIA/SF)
Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss

Quarterback Matt Ryan has two years left on his deal, but the Falcons could get out of his contract with a much lighter dead-cap hit next offseason ($15.6 million). In the meantime, why not draft a quarterback with upside and let him learn from Ryan for a full season? Corral didn't workout at the combine as he recovers from an ankle injury sustained in Ole Miss' bowl game, but he brings a quick release, a good arm and plenty of mobility to the table. Atlanta's passing game needs a total revamp, and this pick could be a home run if Corral takes the next step under Ryan's tutelage.

I feel like the rest of FA for the Chiefs now is shoring up some holes and going into the draft being able to add talent at whatever position it falls to you.

Add on one year deals:
Kyle Fuller
Calais Campbell
Carlos Dunlap

Hardly exciting, but you're hoping most of the talent now comes from the higher picks in the draft?

[Couch-Potato]

Would we be willing to trade down from #30 with ATL for a 2nd, 3rd, and 5th?

[smithandrew051]

Ojabo tore his Achilles at his pro day. Assuming he falls, what round would you be comfortable taking him?

Now I get you! depends exactly how the board falls, but I would trade back for those picks pretty sure.
