Official NFL Free Agency Thread

[Catufb85]

Seeing all of this go down today. I am SOOOO thankful we have Gettlelman as our GM.  First, he locked up the core of the Super Bowl squad we had from last year which is almost impossible to do. Generally as you can see with the Broncos after you go to the Super Bowl players want more money and coaches want to be HCs.  We are keeping our staff and our players.  Second, look at these ridiculous money these one year wonders are getting.  The quarterbacks, Osweiler and Daniel just got PAID $$$ and they are back ups.  Oliver Vernon who thought would be a good pick up just hit Giants for 5 year 85 mill.  Jenkins the "top" CB in FA just got $12 mill a year.  Its actually been entertaining to see the teams like the Dolphins and the Raiders spend so much money and can't show wins for it.

Keep doing you Gettleman! I'm gonna sit back with you and watch the first couple of Free Agency spending go by and then you can pick from the valuables left and set your own price.

Wish we would get Grimes but I know the front office won't put up with the nonsense his wife brings. Smh.

Wish we could've gotten a deal done with KK before these crazy FA numbers started coming out

[UNCrules2187]

Sounds like it's $40m fully gtd, $52.5m over first 3 years for Vernon (likely to see all of that unless he's a colossal bust in years 1 and 2)

I knew the markets would get reset with this FA period, but this is nuts. Jackson getting 15m per, vernon getting 17, Jenkings getting 12.5 per. Brock Osweiler getting 18m per. Wtf???

Von Miller had to change his pants after seeing the Vernon deal. He might get 20.

I fully expect Von Miller to get 5 years, 100 million, 60 guaranteed now.

Just checked the PFF Free Agent tracker.

We tied with the Texans & the Vikings for the most Free Agent signings so far, with 6 signings (counting Webb, who supposedly is not officially signed yet).  Of course all our signings are our own guys.  (They don't include Swayze Waters from the CFL).

I guess Norman and Remmers don't count if they haven't signed their tenders.

Brilliant.

[carpanfan96]

I don't see how Miller gets any less then 20 million per after the Vernon contract. Hell he could ask for 22 per and be with in reason based on whats being thrown around.

 

That's what I would open with if I was his agent. Just a few words, Clearly my client is worth 4 million more per season then Vernon... right?

Of course he is.

This stuff is why good GMs hate bad GMs.

They pay out ridiculous money and make it harder for the smart teams.

Seeing these numbers has to make Greg Hardy sick..... had he behaved himself he would be the best DE on the market...

Given that Hardy is damaged goods, and given these astronomical signings, it makes me think he will once again be signed by a team looking for decent DE production at a cheaper cost.  Sigh....

(But while his $$$ cost will be cheaper, there's also the team chemistry cost...)

Hell, if I'm Von's agent that's what you need to be offering for me not to just hang up the phone immediately.
