Chris Carr, Braylon Edwards & lesser looked at FAs

Recommended Posts

Let's look at some more FAs as this lockout nears its end...

When the talk about CBs in the FA this year comes up, its typically about either Aso or Joseph...but I'm tellin ya I think this Chris Carr could be an excellent player who proved it last season in Baltimore...and with the Ravens always having a strong secondary, they may decide to let another team go get him who wants to pay him. He's gonna need a new contract and with bidding wars over Aso and Joseph, I think he could be a great pick up at a lesser cost and totally worth it.

At Wide-out: with bidding Wars likely to happen over Rice, Holmes, and V-Jackson, I see Braylon Edwards as being the guy we at least try to get. Its been discussed before and I think he's the perfect type of receiver to compliment Smitty while these 2nd years in LaFell & Gettis can further develop and rotate in and out with the eventual/rare Pilares/Edwards sightings (not considering injuries). I don't think it has been mentioned much but Edwards has been dropping less and has really improved his game from a consistency standpoint.

On the defensive line, Stephen Bowen comes to mind DT/DE from Dallas.

Who are some FAs you're eyeing not necessarily at the top of rankings & conversation?

I still think we gonna trade S. Smith to SD for V-Jax and try to sign Coefield and Ike Taylor. I also think we are after another big name TE.

I asked about Steve Smith for Vincent Jackson and was told there is absolutley no shot of that happening. Also was told that Ike Taylor back to Pitt will be one of the first deals done after the lockout.

Still think Cofield ends up here and would love that.

Its going to be an exciting frenzy when FA starts.Not only do you have the guys we know about but what about the ones we dont.Many teams will be shedding players to get under the cap.The Jets, Cowboys,and Packers may need to shed some players and will be of particular interest to see who they cut.Guys like TNewman ,Roy Williams,Columbo and others

On the other side of the coin the Bucs only have 59.7 million tied up in cap.You mark my words the Bucs will get anyone they want..it is scary how much they have to spend for a 10-6 team.The Panthers have only 73 million but we have many holes to fill and CJ and Kalil are going to get massive paydays.The are saying Cams contract will be around 34 million over the duration.

:iagree:

He also knows Coach Chudzinski's work and how he handles himself. To be honest he has a #1 potential, in my opinion.

    • 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.  🤣😂
