FA Thread


t96

Recommended Posts

Well seems like it’ll be going down today, so we should have a thread for the moves around the league... “Legal tampering” period begins today at noon. FA doesn’t technically open until Wednesday but things become unofficially done today.
 

Some moves so far:

Falcons cut Trufant and Freeman.

Vikings extended Cousins 2 years.

Brady reportedly down to Bucs and Pats.

According to Mike Garafolo, the #Falcons are releasing OT Ty Sambrailo ahead of the new league year as well. #Atlanta continues to slash salary, as the team also plans to release CB Desmond Trufant and RB Devonta Freeman as it works to clear cap space.

In 2019, Trufant appeared in nine games for the Falcons and recorded 18 tackles, four interceptions and seven passes defended.

Pats just placed OL franchise tag (average of top LT salaries essentially) on Joe Thuney, a guard. Just signed their other OG to a big contract last year I think too...

That would be like us having placed the tag on Norwell after already looking up Trai.

Hard to believe but unless they’re trading him (unlikely for a team to trade for that amount of money in a guard) this essentially guarantees Brady leaves (likely to Bucs?) as they are over the cap right now...

Apparently he’s now the highest paid TE? Browns know they got a guy who fits their wide zone offense.

It’s nuts. He’s really not all that great. He’s a solid but unspectacular receiving TE who offers little to nothing as a blocker. He put up some bulk numbers on us over the years but I was never even slightly worried about him against us. And the browns already have a ton invested in offensive skill players. Just strange.

Whew! I would much rather be obsessing about which backup guard go signed to the lions than obsessing about new covid19 cases in my county. 
 

No sarcasm at all. This is a breath of fresh air in a crazy, sport free world.

Yeah I really think people need some degree of sports news or even games played (without fans but televised) to lift spirits a bit.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
