Chapter 3: What news is coming out of the NFL Combine?
We thought we were going to do a 10 things to remember episode. But we are pushing that to Tuesday because we have some of the coaching changes, OC news that we didn't get to, and then there's a ton of NFL news to talk about as well.
So we're going to tackle the remaining coaching changes and get through the news, answer some questions, and then next week we'll do our famous, now famous, 10 Things to Remember episode. So I know we'll have some good stuff to share. Do you even remember last year at all anymore?
Yeah, barely, which is why we need to do this show quick.
All right, so a reminder, you can find us on X at the FFBallers, Instagram.com slash fantasyfootballers as well. Let's jump right into the news.
News and notes from around the league.
Well, Khalil Shakir, four-year contract with the Buffalo Bills. Your dash money. Worth up to $60 million.
His guarantee was like 30-something. Am I remembering that correct?
I didn't see the guarantee. You can look that up. But I think, you know, obviously for Dynasty, this is always great when you've got a guy that gets an extension. He had a very good fantasy season. He was reliable, impactful in certain games. For being someone that you come in not really drafting in half of leagues was undrafted.
This is a commitment from the Bills as an organization that he is an important part of their offense. That to me is just nice to know that if they bring in another wide receiver, which I think they will, I think they need to, They see Khalil Shakir as a really core, like his role is kind of entrenched to me that he's going to keep doing it next year.

Chapter 4: How is Tyreek Hill's performance affecting his draft position?
Oh, is that a Shakira thing?
Thank you. You're really doing well today.
Your watch didn't warn you on that one?
No. Bad joke incoming.
You gave blood again, didn't you?
Oh, no.
Mike McDaniel said Tyreek Hill had surgery to repair a ligament in his wrist. Matthew Betts, our injury expert extraordinaire, should be cleared for training camp.
We did also get a full... I don't remember when. Somewhat recent. A full reversal from Tyreek Hill. If you remember after the season, it was... I am out of here. Miami is not where I will be playing. You guys are a bunch of chumps. It softened a week or so later, and then we've had the full, no, I'm going to be in Miami doing my thing.
What percentage of fantasy football players will use the wrist ligament injury to absolve Tyreek Hill of his one half as good season and give him a...

Chapter 5: What changes are expected for the Detroit Lions' offense?
If anyone's going to hold in, it's George Pickens.
So, yeah, it just feels like they could commit to the same level of kind of fantasy football and NFL football malaise on offense, or you could rebuild the whole thing. You could bring in a different quarterback and inject some excitement, but right now it feels weird. All right, we have news from the Bengals. This is Combine Buzz, but the Bengals, their own executive, Duke Tobin.
says that Jamar Chase will, quote, be the number one highest-paid non-QB in the NFL, which is what he wanted to be last year.
Yeah, the Bengals committed a pretty big whoops-a-doozles. The T. Higgins one last year, I get it. As a franchise, you're not sure you want to commit to this guy who's been good on the field, but is he worth the money? He keeps getting hurt a lot. Jamar Chase, on the other hand, was, what are you doing?
You're going, like, unless Jamar Chase plays this year and has a career-ending injury, you're going to back the truck up. You're going to give him all that cash. And when you wait a year, now that cash has increased.
Let me think for a second. Okay. Help me work through this and tell me why I'm stupid. If you wait on Jamar Chase a year, and yes, you're paying him a more significant per year salary, yes, but you didn't pay it to him last year, right? So you spread out the savings.
No, it would have been an additional. His whatever contract he was on, it would have been additional years on that.
But what you are doing is you're getting a year on the back end at today's rate that you would have had to renegotiate another long-term deal with them at the end of this contract at tomorrow's rate.
It's one of those things where... Do you know what I'm saying? I do not. Does the franchise care more about the cap number and competitiveness or about the money that they are losing when they pay players a lot of times? Right. They saved money. They saved cash out the door by not paying him last year and getting it started early.

Chapter 6: Which teams have undergone significant coaching changes?
The number that I'm seeing floated is averaging 40. Yes. Last year, Justin Jefferson got his contract, and then immediately it was, okay, well, is Chase going to be slightly under? Is he going to be at it? And I'm looking at Spotrek. Jefferson's average salary is 35.
Jamar Chase is so good that I feel like I should contribute some money myself because he's on my fantasy team towards the money he deserves to get paid.
I bet the billionaire owner would take your money. Yeah, he would. Absolutely.
There's still constant chatter with the Rams and what they're going to do organizationally at quarterback. They've given Matthew Stafford the opportunity to Go out there and find either a trade or a contract type of offer that would maybe make a trade conducive just to show what his market value is.
There was a New York Daily News report about, and we should talk about this, about Aaron Rodgers preferring to play for the Rams. Obviously, a California kid. The possibility of him bringing Devontae Adams there. We talked about Adams. Adams wants to play in California. And, you know, also them potentially being comfortable with Jimmy Garoppolo.
Also... Ian Rappaport tweeting out six minutes ago. Do I need the button? Sure. Come on, man. Breaking news. Raiders minority owner Tom Brady and the Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford ran into each other at a ski resort in Montana. Yeah.
That doesn't happen. You don't randomly. Oh, well, you're here too. Off the beaten path a little bit. What are the odds? Anyways, since I got you. Are you still playing quarterback?
So, I mean, obviously he's been given permission to go and test the market, see what the value is.
I think he's not. I have been on record.
