$20 mill in cap space next year AFTER Cam/Luke signed.

So, forgive me because I made a thread a couple weeks ago asking how we only have 9 million in cap space, well I am embarrassed to admit that I was wrong. Going back to "over the cap" website, the 9 million figure came from the dead money column and by mistake I read that as though it was our cap space.

I went and looked today and going into next season we will have 20 plus million in cap space and that's after our two franchise players are locked up. 

Will next year be the year we can finally be the kids that get the Xbox one/PS4 for Christmas when it comes to Free Agency as opposed to the bundled PS3 with a copy of Madden that is three years old?! Let's hope we can finally be players in FA now with both the money and the piece of mind knowing our two franchise players are locked up for the future.

Gettleman won't overpay (market value of players always to be debated) for anyone, but the odds of a higher-profile signing definitely go way up.  Depending on how the team performs this year (e.g. the WRs really stepping up, CBs regressing, etc), I think we could definitely see a bigger name acquired at a position of need.

Exactly. I don't expect Gman to go full Suh and sign a guy to 100 mill plus but a Torrey Smith type signing is reasonable

Would be lovely if Alshon didn't want to stay in Chicago and Getts wanted to throw a little money at someone. But a more likely candidate would be a Brian Quick or someone similar. Could also be a few decent OTs out there should Oher not work out. 

 

I don't expect to go sign AJ Green...but I do think we see our first "significant" signing.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
