One less option for potential Fields trade partners. Kirko Chains back to MIN soon would be helpful… 

I never suspected TB as a real suitor for Fields.  I always assumed Mayfield was returning there.

I was thinking more confirming that Mayfield wouldn’t end up in PIT or ATL.

I think this move makes a ton of sense with such a young secondary...we replace a veteran with a veteran who offers a slightly different skill set maybe a little more in keeping with this scheme at it's very best...Byard brings way more physicality than E-Jax not only in the run game but at the catch point as well where he will challenge receivers...I don't think he is as fast or as fluid an athlete as E-Jax but brings the same anticipation, route recognition and instincts...all for significantly less money and with far more durability...plus he does the one thing that is a must for this defence...takes the ball away...Flus had seen him up-close twice a year when he was in Tennessee and it is clear how much Poles & co like the set up the Titans had in recent years...

Some may be concerned about his time in Philly but given he joined as that team midseason when they started falling apart, had to learn a playbook on the fly, then had the change in DC I don't think he ever had a shot to show his best...full off-season in this scheme getting to know the guys around him and I feel he will be rock solid.

This is a good lesson for Fields.  All is not lost if you don’t work out with first team.   Keep ballin.  

It's a good lesson for Fields that if he plays well next season he's not gonna be able to demand more than 10%-20% more than what Baker got

edit: If Fields would hypothetically agree to play on a team-friendly contract his trade value goes way up (below Baker contract) 

If Fields were to agree to a contract extension equal to the #1 pick for the next 5 years which QB would we go with?

Safe to say Chris Jones' contract is not all it was cracked up to be...basically a 2 year deal.

Hopefully the Vikings decide to come around to what Cousins wants.

It isn’t all bad.  If Vikings lose Cousins and don’t want Fields or another vet QB then they have to draft one.  

Which likely means a trade up into top 10.  Or it is a gamble to miss their guy - Probably JJ. 

Could be a trade with us.

 If not it still helps push a position player to us.  Hopefully - to me - it’s Odunze.
