Free agency is crawling along as we await news on any possible trades. Dalvin Cook, Za’Darius Smith, and Danielle Hunter seem like good trade candidates. It would be interesting if they wanted to keep Smith and Hunter after signing Davenport. Davenport lined up outside the tackle most of his career as did Smith. Makes no sense to have three players vying for snaps.

Still no update on the CJ Ham deal. It sure feels like something has to give. Could Kwesi be bold enough to trade both Hunter and Smith?

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:

  • No discussion of politics or religion
  • No feeding of the trolls
  • Leave the gender hatred at the door
  • Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
  • Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
  • No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
  • If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
  • While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm
