Here are some initial thoughts about a few moves thus far: 

Once you beat them, join them? Malcolm Butler heading to Tennessee despite trouncing them with his former team during the AFC divisional game last season. With a chip on his shoulder after the Super Bowl benching, Bulter might be having the last laugbecoming one of the highest paid defensive stars in free agency to the tune of  $61 million with over $30 million guaranteed  

 Jimmy Graham is making Aaron Rodgers a very happy QB. However, Rodgers will need to (discount) double check when he looks to throw downfield because unlike a good neighbor, Jordy Nelson, his favorite target will not be there. The quarterback-WR duo hold the Packers’ record for most touchdowns with 65. Despite voicing his desire to finish his career in Green Bay Nelson was cut from the roster, saving the Packers $10,218,750 in cap space. To borrow words from Drake: business is business, its strictly financial.  

 Run-first no more. The Bears addressed the glaring need for a wide-receiver by snagging No.1 Allen Robinson early. With the addition of Robinson followed by TE Tre Burton, Rookie QB Mitch Trubisky should have a better chance of using the middle of the field and running Matt Nagy’s up-tempo spread offense.  

 One team that has been very quiet throughout free agency have been the Atlanta Falcons… Comment or tweet us at @chicksintosports who you would like to see come to ATL!
