King: King thinks Jackson would be smart to [accept]( a two or three-year deal from Baltimore worth a fully guaranteed $44 million per season. - Doing so would allow Jackson to hit free agency again at age 28/29. Concession: Such a deal would be a concession from both parties. The Ravens would be conceding on the fully guaranteed front and Jackson would be conceding on the structure front. - Jackson was reportedly hoping to top the Deshaun Watson deal — $46 million per season fully guaranteed over five years. Breer: Breer thinks the Ravens could [include]( a no-tag provision, so Jackson would be free to leave — no strings attached — at the conclusion of the deal. Image: Mark Alberti/Icon Sportswire Stafford [Matthew Stafford] The Rams would have welcomed an opportunity to trade Matthew Stafford Details: The [report]( comes from Mike Florio, who implied that the Rams had been hoping the Jets would make an offer for Stafford. - Apparently, the Jets considered Stafford a Plan B to Aaron Rodgers. - With Rodgers having committed to the Jets, trade talks never materialized. Guaranteed: The window to trade Stafford closed last Friday, which is when $57 million of his contract became fully guaranteed. The 35-year-old is tied to the Rams through 2024. Declining? Stafford struggled last season, completing 68% of his passes for 2,087 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions. He won just three of nine starts. Caleb? There is already [speculation]( that the Rams are stockpiling draft picks to pursue a top quarterback prospect in 2024 — like USC's Caleb Williams. Image: Kevin Reece/Icon Sportswire Texans [Dalton Schultz] Texans signed TE Dalton Schultz, RB Devin Singletary Schultz: Schultz [signed]( a one-year contract worth up to $9 million. Profile: The 26-year-old caught 57 of 89 targets (64% catch rate) for 577 yards and 5 touchdowns with the Cowboys last season. - He is one of four tight ends to have 50+ catches for 500+ yards in each of the last three seasons. Fit: Schultz will take over as the Texans' starting tight end. He figures to be a reliable target for the quarterback Houston selects No. 2 overall. Singletary: Singletary [signed]( a one-year contract worth up to $3.75 million. Profile: The 25-year-old totaled 1,099 scrimmage yards (819 rushing, 280 receiving) and scored 6 touchdowns with the Bills last season. Fit: Singletary will complement Dameon Pierce in the Texans’ backfield. Image: Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire Stidham [Jarrett Stidham] Peter King is fascinated by the Broncos’ signing of Jarrett Stidham Details: King [referred]( to the Broncos’ two-year, $10 million deal for Stidham as the “most fascinating” signing of the first week of free agency. Why? King believes Sean Payton will not hesitate to make a midseason quarterback change if Russell Wilson continues to struggle in 2023. Promising: King writes that Stidham’s performance against the 49ers in Week 17 convinced Payton to “take a chance" on the 26-year-old. - Stidham, in his first career start, threw for 365 yards and 3 touchdowns on San Francisco’s top-ranked defense. Interesting: When Wilson played the 49ers’ defense (in Week 3), he threw for just 184 yards and no touchdowns. Image: John Rivera/Icon Sportswire Patriots [Jerry Jeudy] Albert Breer thinks Jerry Jeudy to the Patriots “makes all the sense in the world” Why? Breer believes the Patriots’ moves this offseason have been [swap-outs]( and not substantial upgrades… - Jakobi Meyers swapped for JuJu Smith-Schuster at slot receiver. - Jonnu Smith swapped for Mike Gesicki at tight end. Bigger Swing? Breer thinks that a trade for Jeudy — who Denver is willing to deal — would be more of a needle mover for the Patriots’ offense. - According to multiple reports, New England has [discussed]( a Jeudy trade with the Broncos. Compensation: The holdup appears to be over compensation, as Denver wants a first-round pick. Earmarked: Breer thinks the Patriots already have their first-rounder (No. 14) earmarked for the selection of an offensive tackle. Image: Jeffrey Brown/Icon Sportswire Harris [Damien Harris] Bills signed RB Damien Harris Details: The [contract]( is for one year. Financial terms have not been disclosed. Profile: Harris totaled 559 scrimmage yards (462 rushing, 97 receiving) and scored 3 touchdowns with the Patriots last season. He averaged 4.5 yards per touch. - The 26-year-old totaled 1,061 scrimmage yards and 15 touchdowns in 2021. - He’s rushed for 100+ yards in three of five career games against the Bills. Fit: Harris’ powerful running style will complement the finesse-based styles of James Cook and Nyheim Hines. No Splash: The signing of Harris rules out a splashy acquisition at the position — like a trade for Derrick Henry or the selection of Bijan Robinson in the first round.
