We cleared a ton of cap space for Watson, Baker, etc.  Drafting our QB has us sitting on a pile of cash (31 million) with only a few holes.  The second wave of FA usually starts after the draft.  Will we make any noteworthy splashes?  What about vets like Hughes, Hicks, or Clowney?  Guys who could provide on the field leadership while filling out the DL nicely.

Can’t we also roll over the extra cap space? I’m not entirely sure about all the rules of the salary cap, but rolling over some might be a good idea. We restructured several contracts to keep our options open so we may need the space in the upcoming years.

We can, and that may be part of the plan at this point.

Hicks is awesome when he’s in the field and he’s beloved in the locker room but it’s got to the at a lower price point. I understand we have the cap but he’s had injury issues and he’s on the wrong side of 30. I don’t want the other two and if we are going to spend at this point give us some more help on offense along the line or one of the WRs on a one year prove it deal.

    • I think most are agreeing. Even here. Pat McAfee, Kay Adams, Drew Brees, Reddit,  whatever media you consume. Even Chris Simms the Bryce hater himself. Everyone’s all kinda glazing Bryce and those throws. Honestly a little too much imo. But I do think it is the consensus.
    • Stats have to be used as a piece in interpretation of the whole which is what I was saying. There's lots of different stats that can be used to evaluate players besides the stat line at the end of the game.  T2G had a high completion % because he constantly checked down for short passes. A QB passing 0-5 yards is likely going to have a higher completion than one making passes 10-15 yards regularly. They're higher % passes.  How far is RB1 getting beyond the line of scrimmage before contact? Rico is averaging 6 ypc. Jeantry has 3 ypc but is getting contacted often behind the line. What if Dowdle were getting less than a yard after contact but Jeantry was getting 2.5? Who's the better runner then? Bryce keeps getting credited with all these games winning drives. The final drive vs Atl, Bryce get credit for a 54 yard pass when in reality, he completed a basic 5 yard pass and Tremble ran over multiple defenders for nearly 50 yards. Then he hands off 3 times to set up the field goal. Now did he put the team on his back and lead the drive, or is he the beneficiary of a statistic? Does handing the ball off once after a fumbles recovery followed by a field goal count as leading a drive?  Multiple stats tell different parts of the story from different angles. You have to use them together to wisely interpret what it means. No one said solely depend on the stats. But if you analyze them, use them as the tools that they are, you can learn a lot and create advantages for yourself and your team. Take what's available and determine what's worth using and what's not. But don't just ignore stats because you're scared you might be wrong.
