Should you finally buy that kitchen gadget you’ve been eyeing for months —now that the price has been cut for Amazon Prime Day? There are two schools of thought on this.

No, don’t buy it.

Just because the price has been cut on Amazon doesn’t mean this is the lowest price you can find; other shops (Walmart, Target, Best Buy) are offering their own bonanzas now and Amazon will have more deals around Labor Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Yes, you should buy it!

You waited to see if it would ever be affordable. Now it is. End of story: Pounce!

Touchdown Wire gives Seahawks ‘C grade’ for free agency so far

After the first week of NFL free agency, Touchdown Wire gives the Seattle Seahawks a “C grade” for their activity and dealings so far.

We are nearing the end of the first official week of NFL free agency, and despite all the restrictions as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, teams are finding ways to get deals done.

The Seahawks have made a number of moves so far but will not be announcing any contracts are official until the physicals are completed and the paperwork signed.

That being said, with the reports of the deals so far, here’s a look at Touchdown Wire’s analysis of Seattle’s free agents gained and lost to date.

Doug Farrar and Mark Schofield put together the following thoughts on the Seahawks’ dealings.

“Losing offensive lineman/hybrid tight end George Fant to the Jets wasn’t a big deal for the Seahawks, but losing outside/inside pass-rusher Quinton Jefferson to the Bills presents a bigger issue,” Farrar and Schofield write. “Jefferson is one of the NFL’s most underrated defensive linemen, and Seattle doesn’t have another guy with Jefferson’s capabilities unless Jadeveon Clowney re-signs in the Emerald City. Losing Jefferson also takes some of the luster off the Jarran Reed re-signing, though Reed is a quality player. Signing former first-round pick Bruce Irvin back gives a bit of edge-rush capability, as well as linebacker depth for the team that plays more base defense than any other. The sleeper deal so far for Seattle, we suppose, is multi-positional offensive lineman B.J. Finney, who fills a few backup holes but doesn’t solve the team’s longstanding protection issues in a larger sense.”

Farrar and Schofield will continue to update their analysis on the Seahawks’ free agent moves, but give the team a grade of “C” so far.

2020 Saints free agency tracker: Instant analysis on every roster move

The New Orleans Saints are already active in free agency during the NFL negotiating window. Bookmark this link for instant analysis.

[jwplayer xavzn6Vp-ThvAeFxT]

The New Orleans Saints have been active in working to retain their own pending free agents during the legal tampering window, but it’s only a matter of time before they elbow their way into the open market. Check this space often for updates and instant analysis on every move the Saints make in free agency.

Players re-signed

3/16. Defensive tackle David Onyemata: three years, $27 million. Onyemata was expected to earn more than $10 million per year in free agency, and many of his peers surpassed that bar. So the Saints being able to retain him at a below-market value was huge. Onyemata is a rising talent at an important position, and keeping him around makes the team better.

Players lost

3/16. Linebacker A.J. Klein: three years, $18 million. Klein gets a pay raise to join his old coach, now with the Buffalo Bills. It would have been nice for the Saints to re-sign him but not at this price. Klein’s departure would recoup a sixth-round selection in 2021 if the Saints qualify for any compensatory picks in next year’s draft. New Orleans must look for linebacker depth elsewhere with two projected starters (Alex Anzalone and Kiko Alonso) returning from season-ending injuries.

Players gained

TBD
