Not sayin' there isn't logic to it but Bidwill isn't exactly one of the league's better owners. He probably wouldn't want to piss off the fans, even if it makes sense.

From our perspective though, we run just as much zone as the Cardinals, so...

I wouldn't trade for Peterson. Despite our off-season concerns, our CBs aren't hurting us. We need to pump some quality youth into this DL.

Can Peterson rush the passer?

I'd hope we'd say no to that deal. Bradberry is a very solid CB. He doesn't create turnovers, but he plays good coverage. We need to address this DL and we need that 1st round pick to do it.

who could we realistically trade for? Would love to dish that first out for Clowny like we were discussing earlier this year, have you come around to it? Granted the Texans might even say no to a first.

Even pushing 30, Chandler Jones probably isn't being traded unless you're willing to pay a steep price.

And I wouldn't trust Nkemdiche.

I don't think hes gunna get two years, they are staring down the barrel of 2-14 / 3-13

Still can't support firing him after one year, though. Keim, on the other hand, isn't exactly a rookie at his job.

Either way though, that's too "Browns" for me.

I could see a house cleaning if they do fire the GM. who knows though, I hope he gets a 2nd year

Texans are still in playoff contention, a trade would have to come from a team in rebuild mode (bills,cards,giants,raiders) or from disgruntled players on current teams 

I wonder if we could get Lorenzo Alexander from the Bills for cheap. He’s the highest graded edge rusher by PFF this season, in the last year of his contract, only makes $2M/year and is 35 years old.

For maybe a 5th or 6th they might be willing to give him up since the playoffs aren’t happening for them and he’s at the age where re-signing him doesn’t make much sense when they are rebuilding.

For us, it’s a clear half season rental with no future impact but he has been extremely good in essentially the exact same defense.

As bad as Wilks has looked in his defense this is arguably the most talent deficient team in the league. They have PP, Chandler Jones, David Johnson, and whats left of Fitz. What’s crazy is I thought they were the best team in the league in 2015, we were just a matchup nightmare for them like the Broncos were for us. That roster sure went to poo real quick

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
