FEATURED FA agent thread

[Sydla]

We shouldn’t have let Hyder go. All he does is make plays. He left and had 8.5 sacks for SF last year. Get him back and sign DaQuan Jones please.

Hyder might have been a better signing than Basham, frankly. Hopefully we bring him back. I think they are done at DT, however.

Neal, Wilson, Hooker/Kazee is so much better than anything we’ve had in a long time

That's pretty sad when you think about it.

 

[NEODOG]

That's pretty sad when you think about it.

I just want players not running around, out of position, chasing a wide open receiver

I don't think it's that difficult

But OBVIOUSLY it is

I agree but these are not top tier guys..but still like you said, huge improvement...

 

[texbumthelife]

Doctors cant look at the player so its hard for them to even know where he is and with an injury like that they are going to want some assurance that he can actually play again.

If I was gonna roll the dice and buy low on anyone this offseason, that would probably be my #1 target. In the off chance he even gets back to 80% of what he was, you get a great player on a likely very team-friendly contract even if he sits another season.

Here it is

Oh, so instead of signing Anthony Harris for the same price, we spent $5M on a strong safety from one of the worst defenses in the league who might even switch to a position he never played before?

And we wonder why we never win anything.

If Neal is going to be a SS who could play in the box a lot, and LVE is going to play WILL, what in the hell are they going to do with Smith? He can't play MLB, that's been proven (neither can LVE).

This is the team that signs Jasper Brinkleys, Nolan Carolls, and Dontari Poes every year, has the audacity to tell us these guys are going to fix the defense, and they don't even make it to the end of the season.

It's called incompetence. There's no other word for it. They have absolutely no clue what they're doing and the results speak for themselves.

Seriously, Neal might not even beat out Wilson. Why make that your biggest spend in free agency? It's ridiculous.

Hopefully it means we draft one in the first 5 picks and are able to release Jaylon next year.

My thinking was that Neal would play WILL, LVE would play the middle, and we would have the league's most expensive, part-time SLB.

First, Neal is the better player but, they don't even play the same position.

In today's NFL your linebackers are going to have to be faster and quicker with the use of the small fast receivers running crossing patterns, jet sweeps and wr screens. Neal was basically WLB with the Falcons.

Anthony Harris had one big year a couple of years ago and his team didn't think enough of him to bring him back yet, uninformed fans drool like Pavlov's Dog.

It’s more of what Quinn wants.

He gets a guy he is comfortable with, 25 years old and knows his system. With this, he knows he’s bringing in a guy like Kazee or Hooker. To me, a SS+FS > a 30 year old guy with one solid year

Any plan that has Smith or LVE trying to play MLB, LOL.

Amazing how LB got so screwed up after 2018.

And yet Atlanta didn't want Neal back and here you are claiming he's so much better than Harris and a good signing. You can't have it both ways.

We have 2 players who can run around and cover, we needed a thumper at MLB. Now we have 3 players who can run around and cover but still no MLB.

After all these FA signings, our needs from seasons end are still the same

we don’t have starting DTs
We don’t have a starting FS
we don’t have a starting MLB

we’re going after among toys when we don’t have the lunch pail guys

it’s not gonna work

teams are gonna run and throw all over this defense and people like you will be: well, the FO tried in FA, it’s not their fault

Yes, it is absolutely their fault because they continue to do stupid things

We are giving Quinn the players he wants.
Let's see what happens...

[Plankton]

Why are people hot to trot for Daquon Jones? He was in Dallas before playing in this same scheme in the interior, and he’s average at best. The kind of guy that you are always looking to replace.

[Carson]

Lol. So much for being over the cap
