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.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
