Free agent DT Gerald McCoy’s visit to the #Ravens has essentially ended, though his agent and the Baltimore brass will now speak to see if they can do a deal. At this point, it’s #Browns or #Ravens for McCoy. If the price isn’t right, McCoy could visit a third team.

This is an interesting one: The #Jaguars are working out free agent WR Terrelle Pryor today, sources say. He most recently played for the #Bills and #Jets. He’s expected to meet with the staff soon.

On the 4-year, $36M extension the #Vikings & TE Kyle Rudolph agreed to last night that accomplished his ultimate goal of staying in Minnesota: Rudolph gets $1.625M additional this year added to his $7.625M base, per source. $9M fully guaranteed in all. $16.025 in total guarantes.

Top TEs dont get paid. Offensive Guards make more.

Top TEs dont get paid. Offensive Guards make more.

Especially when they basically drafted his replacement.

I agree in general, but Kyle Rudolph isn’t a top TE.

TE is a hard position to scout and develop. Lots of failed high picks, including more than a few Cardinals. Once guys enter their prime, their often on their second contracts and again a great value.

9 mil per year for Kyle Rudolph's production is pretty interesting. It reminds me a bit of the Jermaine Gresham deal. It's a fine value if you plan to use him, but that seems steep for 63.25 catches, 550.25 yards, and 6 TDs over a season. Diggs and Thielan aren't losing touches to this guy and their head coach wants to run the ball more.

I'm not a proponent of paying top TEs because that production is top tight end production outside of a few true studs (Kelce, Gronk, etc).

IMO the Vikings would have been much better served letting Rudolph play out his contract and letting him walk. They'll regret it by next offseason.

Rudolph is a really good traditional TE, which as you well know, impact the overall offensive production.

I guess he's not a true top TE, but he isn't too far off when you look at his overall game (receiving and blocking).

Good for Cam. I know his aunt. I'm sure she'll be happy for him.

The #Colts and CB Kenny Moore have agreed to terms on a 4-year extension, source said, one that makes him the highest paid slot CB in the NFL on new money. He had a year left, then an RFA tag. This replaces the tag and more. He can also play outside, but is their starting slot.
