One thing to watch on the #Jets Geno Smith pursuit: Malik Willis.

The #Dolphins want Willis. If the #Cardinals can steal him, MIA has Geno Smith among their list of contingency plans.

Sources indicate Smith’s preferred destination is Miami, where he’s from. Could muddy waters.

Per
@AlbertBreer
, the #Colts offered QB Daniel Jones a contract similar to the one Sam Darnold signed with the Seahawks (3 years $100.5 million). Jones’s camp counter offered a deal which would pay him around $50 million per year.

Sources: The #Texans and standout G Ed Ingram have agreed to terms on a 3-year, $37.5M deal to keep him in Houston.

Ingram gets $12.5M per year in a deal done by

@KlutchSports
. A priority for Houston, getting it done before free agency.

Definitely raises question marks around #Vikings coaching, but also interesting that Ingram allowed the same amount of sacks, more QB hits, more QB hurries, and more QB pressures with the Texans in 2025 than his final year of 2024 in Minnesota.

So much for short armed CBs. Rams are loading up for a run, acquiring safety Kam Curl and now McDuffie. They also have two 1st round draft picks.

Good maneuvering, the Rams are a VERY solid organization, but Matt Stafford is what keeps them dangerous. Find yourself a QB, NFL fans....everything changes. Just ask Seattle.
