Bills and WR John Brown agreed to a 3-year, $27M deal

[Car123]

Our Huddle GMs said we can sign him for 5 million a year. 

Also, Cole Beasley, a glorified #3/4. 4 years, $29M, $14.4M guaranteed.

I guess Beane felt like he had to make some type of splash at WR after the whole AB non-trade. Unfortunately for him, I think this splash was produced from the turd plopping in the toilet.

Why do people keep saying this? The Eagles won the Super Bowl 2 years ago after spending hugely. 3 of the top 4 NFC/AFC championship teams spent highly in FAs last year. 

Everyone keeps bringing up the Pats as if that’s the benchmark in which teams should follow. Let’s do that. Let’s start off by hiring arguably the best coach of all-time and arguably the best QB of all-time. That’ll be easy.

Skins, Jets, Lions...  KILLIN IT IN FREE AGENCY

 

 

and they suck every year

[Jeremy Igo]

Good teams don't need much free agency help.

 

Are the Panthers a good team?

The Pats have four huge advantages. One, arguably the greatest coach of all-time. Two, arguably the greatest QB of all-time. Three, their division is straight trash year in and year out. Four, that arguably greatest of all-time QB is married to a supermodel who is worth even more than he is so he always gives the Pats a VERY cap-friendly deal so they can put a team together around him. He's paid like a middle of the pack starting QB.

I've always said that if you have a coach and you have a QB, you can consistently compete. Every other position is basically a "nice to have". You don't have to have a shutdown CB or an elite WR or a franchise LT, but you do have to have a QB and a coach.

It's not so much that you can't spend in FA.

It's more that you can't spend and miss in FA.

It's tough having a lot of holes and not much cap room to work with. It's even tougher when you keep dead weight on the roster instead of freeing up that cap space because you're scared of "creating holes". The holes already exist. Taking big cap hits on JAGs doesn't change that.

Absolutely, not. What I’m saying is, we CONSTANTLY never improve our team in free agency. Every year like clockwork. There were guys out there that could really help this team this year and in the past. To me, there’s no point in signing free agents right now. Our roster has massive holes and stupid contracts on not great players. We’re in re-build mode and will be for the next 3 years at least. We should’ve been super aggressive in free-agency around 2015-2017 to take this team over the edge. That time has passed now. 

Losing Davis, Peppers, Kalil, Love, Funchess, Williams hurts. All of those were starters and now need replaced. You can’t do that in one season, especially if you don’t sign any FAs. 

We constantly overpay our guys and majority don’t live up to the contract. Take a look at the Packers.... They let go of one of the biggest leaders on their defense in Matthews, replace him with a younger better player, add another awesome DE and DB, sign a legit guard to protect Rodgers and also have two 1st round picks. That team will me MARGANILLY improves over next year. Us? We’ll be worse.

They're also signing Cole Beasley. 4 years, $29M, $14.4M guaranteed.
