I kinda agree with you. I think that the bargain bin this season may produce a higher quality result--more for your money, if you will. But, do we really want to backload deals when we can just wait to see the presumably talent-rich market next offseason as a situational result of this offseason? I mean we'll be a lot freer and cash-rich in 2022; why cloud that up? And we're still going to need the money to sign our rookies this year.

Because a lot of other teams not in a position to compete for free agents this year will be able to compete next year

Ill go out on a limb and say if a certain player wants to sign a big deal, they will.

 

The thing about Moton is this, they know what it would take and could at any point sign him to lower his cap number more. So its a power move, we dont have space is miss leading.

The entire league is cash strapped, so I don’t buy into the assumption that we won’t be targeting big names.  A lot of 1 year deals or back loaded multi year deals will be handed out this year, and free agents will have no choice but to accept that.  There simply isn’t enough money to go around like previous years.  We have tons of cap space available next year and are among only a handful of teams with decent space available this year.  We will be more active than some think.  

Hope so...more really good FA out there this year than usual

I read the article too and I mostly agree with it. Same as last year, try to fill as many holes as you can without too much risk financially and remove the pressure of drafting for need. The only exception to that I could see is perhaps going a little higher for a FS or CB. No need to spend a lot on 1 position when you have so many needs.

How is it that the Saints are still 40 million over the cap and still signing Marcus Williams and we have all this money and are cap strapped and have to bargain shop??? I don't get it.

Some teams aren't teams at all, just dancers, placeholders, other thans.

Look at the extremes the NFL went to to "stop" Cam Newton. It was obvious. The NFL hierarchy didn't like swag, dabs, and certainly didn't want the Panthers to win anything.

Look at spygate. NFL had the evidence of the Patriots taping the Panthers and the two big guys who came for the evidence reportedly smashed the tapes after receiving them.

My short answer is FAVOR. Favor ain't fair.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
