I wish we can grab 1-2 of these guys:

 

Brandon Lloyd WR

Eric WInston OT

Brandon Moore OG

Sione Pouha NT

Kerry Rhodes FS

Moore......heck yes

Winston....don't think we have the cap

Lloyd....meh

Pouha....no way.  We have NT stength now

Kerry Rhodes....Godfrey is FS, so I think bigger issue is SS

I still wouldnt mind adding Pouha. Hes another Polynesian DT that can take Star under his wings.

Star can learn from him and behind him. Behind Star, we're pretty mediocre. With Rivera saying that he wants to limit Star to such reps, it'd be good to bring Pouha in here. We can def cut ties with Fua.

 

Godfrey is moving to SS, but we'd be much better with Godfrey back to SS and Rhodes at FS. Godfrey played well at FS late last season, but his coverage abilities is limited. He's a much better SS than FS. Dont really know if Godfrey is moving back to FS permanently.

Don't dislike Pouha.  It is just that we have other bigger needs than NT (never thought I would say that) and very limited cap space.

 

I think Godfrey is a much better FS than SS.

If these guys are still unsigned, teams are waiting for camp injuries and late cuts. I don't expect to see any of these guys come in unless it's to fill in for an injured player.

 

And Brandon Lloyd will probably never play football again. The Pats couldn't get him to produce, and word is they think he's bipolar. Nobody wants that sort of problem in the locker room.

Godfrey is our FS just bc we suck at S...if we can bring in a legit S we should. Godfrey can go play SS.

    • Congratulations do they know who the father is?
    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
