The North is getting spicy!

Packers expected to sign ex-Raiders RB Josh Jacobs. Yeah, THAT Josh Jacobs that led the league in rushing in 2022.

Edit: Packers have released RB Aaron Jones.

Day 2 of the legal tampering period. Will the Lions still pursue trades for top CBs? Are we trying to sign Danielle Hunter? Tell me your opinion.

My take: We pursue Hunter, and draft a guard with our first pick. Use our 2nd and 3rd on DT/CB.

Former Packer RB Aaron Jones signs with the Vikings. 1 year, $7M.

Texans have signed DE Danielle Hunter. 2 years, $49M. Damn, I was hoping we'd get him.

First day of official free agency (well, at 4pm), rumors are the Lions are looking at DJ Reader and have him visiting. I've heard both today and tomorrow as visit dates, so soon. Other rumor I keep coming across is the Lions are waiting to see what happens with the Chargers. Bosa and/or Mack could become cap casualties. Most likely is Mack becomes the cap casualty, and we'd have to trade for Bosa if we wanted him.

Edit: FYI, teams have to be cap compliant by 4pm Eastern, which starts the NFL 2024 season.

The Chicago Bears have traded Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 6th round draft pick, which could turn into a 4th depending on playing time.
