Shortly after, the reportedly stole running back from the , agreeing to a . Then, the Jacksonville Jaguars took over and started spending like there was no tomorrow.It was certainly a wild first day, so let's take a look at some winners and losers.Winner: The Jaguars hit the ground running on Day 1, and they could afford to do so with the money they had at their disposal. They broke the bank for wide receiver -- who could be the third-highest paid receiver in the NFL if he receives all of the max $84 million deal he signed -- and the versatile and . The Jags also reportedly spent on two defenders in and .Oluokun, the star linebacker formerly of the , signed a three-year, $45 million deal,. He led the NFL with 192 tackles last season, which Jake Elliott Jersey was the seventh-highest total ever recorded in a single season. Fatukasi, the defensive lineman who has spent his career with the , reportedly received a three-year, $30 million deal with $20 million guaranteed,. He recorded 46 combined tackles in 15 Nate Herbig Jersey starts last season. Another player the Jags reportedly grabbed was former star offensive guard , who has made five Pro Bowls in seven seasons. He was one of the top interior offensive linemen available in this free agency cla s, and he reportedly got paid like one too. With the Jaguars placing the franchise tag on and signing Scherff, maybe they will go pa s rusher with the No. 1 overall pick.The Jaguars shelled out a ton of money on the first day of legal tampering, but also landed legitimate starters. All six players are immediate-impact guys who will help Doug Pederson in turning this franchise around.Loser: The Colts are looking for a new starting quarterback after trading to the Commanders, but Monday took away some options. is reportedly headed to the Dolphins and is headed to the . To make matters worse, the the Colts' attempt to speak with ,ESPN's Adam Schefter. This wasn't surprising in the slightest with Indy being a division rival, but notable nonethele s. The Colts not signing Bridgewater or Trubisky isn't heartbreaking, but what is Indianapolis going to do at quarterback? Trading for probably isn't going to light the fan base on fire, and they don't have a first-round pick in the upcoming draft. If I was general manager, I'm targeting or now. However, Winston could be set on re-signing with the if a Watson trade falls through. It seems more and more likely the Colts could be the last team in the NFL to figure out their quarterback situation.Winner: WR Christian Kirk JAC WR #13 TAR103REC77REC YDs982REC TD5FL0 Kirk was certainly seen as a free agent wide receiver who has his best football days ahead of him, but not many saw him as a player who deserved a deal that could potentially turn him into a top three highest-paid receiver Rodney McLeod Jersey in the NFL.The Jaguars agreed to terms with Kirk on a four-year deal worth up to $84 million,., the deal is reportedly worth $72 million ($18M annually) with a max of $84 million.

That $21 million per year would rank third behind and . The Jaguars must really like Kirk, because they made him a wealthy man this week.Loser: The Seahawks did agree to terms on a new deal with safety Monday to keep him in Seattle, but even that small win couldn't be celebrated with fans still proce sing the trade. Along with five picks, including two first-rounders, the Seahawks received three players from the in quarterback , defensive lineman and tight end . It's Fant who is probably the player worth getting the most excited about since he's a versatile tight end who can wear different hats in an offense if you want to feature him. Well, then why did the Seahawkstight end to a three-year, $24 million deal?Di sly is a young, talented blocking tight end who Ron Jaworski Jersey hasn't surpa sed 262 receiving yards in a single season in four years, but is certainly worth an extension. Yet giving him $8 million a year -- an AAV higher than -- is pretty surprising. Di sly is going to get plenty of playing time as TE2, but this is an overpay. Details on Will Di sly's big contract, per a source: $15.98M guaranteed; $9.3M signing bonus; $510K in per-game roster bonuses each season; base salaries of $1.04M (fully guaranteed), $5.64M (guaranteed for injury at signing), $6.49M.
