2012 Free Agents

we need some D, but you gotta think Rivera and Chud might make a move.

Malcom Floyd (SD) – Floyd was given the highest tender last offseason and came through for the Chargers. However, it’s expected that the Chargers will only retain one of Floyd or Jackson and the latter seems more likely right now. Floyd is a tall, athletic downfield threat with the body control to become a number one receiver in the league. He’ll be heavily pursued by several teams.

blah blah blah we gotta get FAs this year, and the good thing is they might take less to play with Cam...?

that and for WRs, the draft class is fairly deep and the FA class is saturated with talent

don't know if it would be money well spent though considering our other needs

I see us making a run in FA for WR, S, and CB... Because Hurney and Rivera tried to address these 3 positions through FA last year but failed. I see us making a run for WR Dwayne Bowe, CB Terrell Thomas, and S Reggie Nelson. I also expect our #1 pick to be an OT with Jordan Gross turning 32 before 2012 kickoff. After that, we need draft young players for depth.

I don't think we could get all those guys, but I would be ecstatic if we got both Nelson and a healthy Thomas. Gettis will have a strong season next year.

Apparently we will only be able to sign vet. minimum free agents.

Not really. Some players on our squad are making way too much money and more than likely their contracts will get reworked. After all said and done I expect us to be about $20m under cap. Thomas Davis, Wharton, Ron Edwards, and etc will all have to rework their contracts. Also 1/4 of all NFL players will be UFAs. Supply and demand.

    • 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.  🤣😂
