With compensation no longer being affected I'm surprised at how little FA activity has occurred so far.

Let teams get their Draft picks signed, then they will have an idea of how much cap room they will have to work with.

I'm guessing we sign 3 more (gets us to 90) minimum vet or tryout guys and then extend Cook.

I know this has been touched on before, but the salary cap in 2021 could be way lower than 2020 depending on what happens with COVID and if they play the games in empty stadiums. I would be very cautious with extensions to either Cook or Harris. I probably would be very cautious anyway since Harris turns 29 this October and Cook is a Running Back who has missed games at a position that does not age well. The players get 48.5% of revenue in a 17 game season in 2021, but the revenue numbers are based on the revenue numbers that happened the year before meaning 2021 could be a really tight year for the salary cap. Which leads me to a side point that this salary cap concern, which should have been known about when it happened, makes the Laremy Tunsil contract one of the dumber things you will ever see especially when you add in the need to trade two firsts and a second. Tunsil is an excellent Tackle, but that is all sorts of dumb.

Not sure what is going on with the Texans. I think they currently don't have a GM and HC Bill O'Brien has been making some foolish trades and signings.

I agree on the not inking Harris and Cook.

Their worst move yet was trading for Cooks. He would have done better signing Percy. Cooks is not going to last long; size and number of concussions already is not a good sign.

Like the Trent Williams Trade, I hope an extension of Cook doesn't happen. Too much risk in big contracts to RBs and never the return.

There also was so many times during the season Mattison looked nearly identical to Cook on the field. Several times I thought it was Cook and it turned out to be Mattison.

I would franchise Cook next give, give him a nice bump. If he wants out, trade him.

Next year draft a RB in mid-rounds. Kubiak doesn't need an expensive or high draft pick RB.

But I also think it's coming. Hope it's reasonable.

I agree Pager..I am hoping Mattison gets a lot more touches this year. And they do look very similar in stature!

Mattison is a fine young running back. He is not Dalvin Cook 2.0 in any way, shape or form.

If I were ranking the RBs on skill - from what I've seen (limited sample size) if Cook is a 10, I see Mattison as a 8. One is going to be asking for 12 -14M and has missed half of his games since being drafted. I love Cook but no way would I resign him.

Titans decline Corey Davis' fifth-year option, former No. 5 overall pick to be 2021 free agent, per report
The former fifth-overall pick is now slated to become a free agent after the 2020 season

Lot's of potential but has the injury bug. The 5th overall pick in the 2017 draft certainly has a higher ceiling than Tajae Sharpe. Worth a roll of the dice?

From his scouting report:

BOTTOM LINE Touchdown juggernaut who was a four-year model of production and consistency in college. Davis has the route-running and ball skills to become a starter in the league, but it is his competitiveness and production in the red-zone that should make him a good one.

Cook is better than Mattison, when healthy, but I would rather have Mattison at 4 million per than Cook at 14 million per. Granted, we do not know what it will cost to sign either, but for a point of comparison.

I was nervous about the pick because it seemed that we got him too early. However, it was clear that the Vikings really, really wanted him and I did like the film I saw, so I was more wait and see.
