ironically he has been pretty bad with the Jags, the grass is not always greener.

Actually he’s played quite well, if you actually pay attention and also consider what kind of offense he has to worth with, 90% trash.

I believe he’s also been playing injured.

Worth his contract? Maybe not. But to say we dodged a bullet by not spending on him in order to pay Matt Kalil even more money I mean...joke is ultimately on the Panthers.

Yep, some sites had us getting 99 (over Watkins) but it’s as expected. It means our 4th is 116. Not bad, 7 3rd round comps is a lot. As usual NE is good at this.

So for the pleasure of Dontarie Poe we lost a 3rd or 4th for Star and gave Atlanta a 4th and spent a lot of money as well.

Heck, we didn’t get a 6th for Dickson either because of other FAs who didn’t even play. I’m just glad we didn’t burn the 3rd for Norwell. We are going to need it. 

So many of the average fans around here look at these free agent deals in a vacuum and never understand the total cost of some of these deals.

I'm guessing everyone of them would happily trade Poe for a third now.

It takes a bit of discipline for the teams.  The less UFAs you sign the more comp picks you tend to get.  The more picks you get the less free agents you should need in theory at least.  I think it is no surprise that some of the teams that historically receive the most comp picks, Patriots and Ravens have been some of the most stable and successful over the last 10-15 years.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should never go after free agents, just be smart about it.

I think teams would be better off by staggering it.  For example if you (in simplest terms) lose 2 and gain 2 you receive no comp picks.  If you do that over 4 years you will have received none over that four years.  If you were to do 3G-1L, 1G-3L, 3G-1L, 1G-3L you would have singed the same number of free agents over that 4 years but you would also have 4 comp picks to show for it.

Also waiting for the in the summer to sign guys that are cut can be wise.  They don't count towards the comp pick formula and also they tend to be a lot cheaper at that point.  Could we have signed someone later do give the same production as Poe?

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
