Didnt they sign him last year? This is getting vastly over-looked, i believe it adds 35 million more to the dead cap. 

Another lane it may only add 20 million, which puts red numbers on the table. 

But HORAY.....1st overall pick, right?!?!?

This needs to be confirmed.

I think we just eat the signing bonus

I don't think that can be right 

If it is it's not likely all in one year

That would be worse if it's spread out to multiple years as it then completely negates the advantage of having a QB on a rookie deal.

Need to hope the hit is all in the first year or else it makes the trade even dumber than it already is.

So that is what the getting the space(motwon, wilson, wood) was for.....NOT boze....

 How do you feel about the trade? 

No. DJ was scheduled to have a 24M Cap hit so they gained almost 10M in cap space. No need to make room. 
 

   Gotta try something. And the cost wasn’t bad. QB roulette sucks. And they are going to have to hit on whatever plan there is for skill positions. But overall, I would have done it and it is big deal to have it done this early.

Im still hung up on DJ, unwise.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................coming to terms with the other parts.

2nd big part is I was never that high on ANY QB, didnt feel it was worth the juice.........they sure feel different.

    • I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.
    • From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"
    • Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
