To dovetail off of J.I's thread. Even after the F.A period is over and the draft, cuts are coming in droves. D.G loves to pick through the aftermath and find 'gems' at a excellent price. The best deals that will help this team are coming in a few months. Free agency is highly overrated.It puts many teams in a money hole that is hard to justify in most cases.

Sorry for the heading typos..Android thumb

Mods please correct if so inclined.

 People go through "buyer envy" when their neighbors get new cars.  They don't realize the neighbors are going through "buyers' remorse" because they overspent, have 5-years of payments ahead, etc. 

 

  • We are much better on special teams right now.
  • We have upgraded on offense at LT, a position that is hard to fill (and Oher is phase 1 of a process).
  • We are going to use the draft to find a cheap, shiny #2 WR instead of an overpriced, used one.

 

Even if we do nothing more, this team is the best in the South, one of the best in the NFC.  Spending spree?  not needed.

Doubt D.G would make that mistake again. His hand was forced last year due to lack of funds. He had to let guys walk and had little choice. He will be much more selective this time. He already signed the core guys that where free agents. He did a good job this time around.

I just don't understand why we wouldn't go after one of the many proven WRs out there to complement Benjamin. I understand not going after one of the elite guys, but guys like Bowe and Johnson are proven and won't be that expensive.

Is there a team in the NFL that is spending as little as we are at WR?

What WR names are you thinking of?

Good Job?? lmao!!! Like signing a track star who has hardly played ANY football in his life? Or maybe a guy who has a movie about him? Great so he has a fugging movie about him. So What!! Should have been called " The Blind in one eye and can't see out the Oher Side"

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
