You wake up from a one-day coma and decide to check on your favorite franchise, ah shit, you can't recognize your team's roster anymore. Lol It's crazy how many moves have taken place in the last 24 hours. It might be the first day since the Super Bowl that i've actually missed football.
Some quick/early thoughts on a few of the signings:
Saquon Barkley to the Eagles. For some reason, i don't like it, i think it is more or less a lateral move. Swift can do almost everything Saquon does but for less money, and Barkley has a history of injuries. Eagles had more pressing issues to address than adding a new RB. For example, their defense, terrible secondary play, and some of the worst tackling i've ever seen...why not fix that?
Christian Wilkins, the Dolphins DT to the Raiders. He and Maxx Crosby on the same dline look scary. I like how the Raiders rallied around their interim head coach to turn things around late in the season. Losing Josh Jacobs is huge, but i suppose you can't have everything.
The Vikings' QB room looks bleak now that Cousins has moved to Atlanta. Darnold, Mullens, Dobbs, and Hall, i mean who do you start? Not ideal for J. Jefferson dynasty managers.

HELL YEAH!!!

The King is on the move. Sources say the #Ravens are expected to land #Titans star RB Derrick Henry. After attempting to trade for him a few times, Baltimore signs him now. 👑
Henry gets a 2-year, $16M deal worth up to $20M with $9M guaranteed.

Not only is that bad for fantasy managers but Jefferson proclaimed that he loved playing with cousins. Did ypu just piss him off enough to split town when he becomes a free agent. Minnesota better figure out theor immediate plan forward or they might slide into a complete new rebuilding. If they are I'd trade jettas for some crazy draft capital right now. Trading to a fringe contender could net some good draft capital.
I'm starting to wonder at this point whether it makes any sense keeping what many would argue is the best wide receiver in the league (I don't believe this, but he certainly makes my top 3-5). He's too good to rot away behind some half-ass QB, and as of right now, that's exactly what the Vikings have, half ass QBs. I do wonder if they have any interest in Justin Fields. I guess I'm trying to squeeze Fields in somewhere, I expected his market to be much more robust. I think this lack of market says a lot for Fields and why moving on from him makes sense. He's just not that good.
Fields might be a good spot for him actually. Has someone ready made to help him along. Does jettas want to be with a primarily running qb. I've seen a lot of recent mocks that have Minnesota trading picks with chargers to jump to the 5 hole and drwft McCarthy. Makes zero sense to keep JJ if that's the case. Trade JJ for draft capital if that's the case and draft that boy some protection or beef up the defense. For me McCarthy is gonna take a hot second to get his feet wet, doesn't seem like his game will transition easy to sundays.
... and it's July. Quarterback season 2 should air around that time, training camps begin and fantasy season prep.
