Was looking at Spotrac's valuations for some of our free agents. What is the opinion?

Osa - $21m
Lawrence - $12m
Golston - $7.3m
Dowdle - $6.2m
Lewis - $2.3m
Lawson -$3.8m
Lance - $2.1m
Rush - $5m
Kendricks - $6.8m

Seems like OSA is a done deal. If these are anywhere near what happens I would lock up Golston, Lewis, and Lawson. I seriously doubt we can get Lewis for that amount however. I doubt anyone can sign Lance for anywhere near that. Seems too much for Kendricks and Dowdle.

Would love to see a starting caliber OL, DT, and WR or LB in free agency.

Restructure CD saves $20.5m
Extension Parsons saves 18.2m
With our current space we would have about $42m in space.

Guys that could be cut, extended or restructured to save space: Steele, Hooker, D. Wilson, Diggs, Bland. Dak's is built to restructure but shouldn't be used. Two years to get it done or blow it up in reality.

I think that Rico gets less and Lance gets more. Lewis gets more and Rush gets less.

I think that is expensive for a QB3.

The problem is that would cost $65m (of this $100m mythical 'Restructure Every Contract').....just to bring back the 7-10 gang.

We arent improving, just spending more resources on standing still. I dont see the rationale of spending $65m on mostly rotational level guys and then cut Steele et al.....and have gaps at: RT, S (x2), CB (x2).

We need to tear it down, we dont have the foundation to build-upon. Indeed, this should of happened 12 months ago.
 
Rico is at his proper market number. I'm signing Golston at that number. DLaw played for $10M last season I believe, so heck no for $12M, lower. Lewis a $5M player, sign him today. Kendricks, seems a bit high. Rush n Lance...whatever.
Osa
Golston
Lewis
Lawson
Looks decent to me, but it'll probably just be Osa n Lewis.

But what's the strategy? Decent to achieve what goal? Maybe a ceiling of 7th seed play-off, one-and-done, having the same holes next year.

(sorry, i'm mad he didnt tear it down last year)

I agree, there's not much ceiling. The strategy is just retain players at a cheap price who can start, that's all.

They had the perfect opportunity to reboot, but the idiots extended Dak and ruined the team's future.

Not sure what the love is for gholston but I like seeing these numbers, d law if he wants that hmm maybe I'm thinking about 8ish if not he goes elsewhere
 
Just because their average might be 65m doesn’t mean their cap hits will be anywhere near that the first year…could be less than half that amount. It just depends on the structure.

Golston feels a bit like Armstrong and if we aren’t bringing back Tank we have a need.
 
It’s sobering that we have to spend so much just to maintain our substandard status. We had some really good young players at a reasonable cost basis and failed to go anywhere with them. 3 decades of Groundhog Day.
 
None of these sites are going to be perfect, but Spotrac is probably the most accurate. I would imagine that Lance gets a deal with some incentives for significantly more, but his base is probably around there. Seems odd they would have Lewis taking a pay cut, but its not significant enough of an amount to worry about. Other than that I think this looks like realistic starting points for talks with these guys. Maybe DLaw has to settle for a bit of an incentive based deal given his history of missing games?

Even more annoying is the amount of CAP resources allocated to a passing game, when we know that we'll need a run first (and second) approach as Dak's going to actually need the protection of handing off the ball..... there's going to be a heck of a lot of pressure up the middle, gambling on the assumption that Dak won't have the ability to scramble, or get out of the pocket.

I would love to see how they valued players last year and what kind of contracts those players actually got. I am too lazy to look it up.

I do think Osa will get at least $21 million. I think it is high for him but Alim McNeill signed an extension with the Lions last year for over $24 million. Derrick Brown got $24 million as well. Javon Hargrave got $21 million the year before. Nnamdi Madubuike got $24.5 million last year. Christian Barmore got $21 million last year. To me all this means $21 million might be a bit rich for Osa. But I get sticker shock every year when contracts are signed.

I would pay Golston $7.3 million. I just have a feeling he is going to have a good year this year. He has shown improvement each year he has played and last year he seemed to be in the middle of a lot of big plays.

I would love to sign Lewis fo $2.3 million. I think he can get more than that.

No way I pay Rico $6 million, not with this RB rich draft coming up.

I don't know that I would pay Kendricks $6.8 million at his age. He got $3 million this year. He didn't do enought to more than double that as far as I am concerned.

Some of those are odd I mean there's no way rico's worth $6 million that dude said $2,000,000 player because you can get him anywhere and I realize he's a fan favorite because you know the little guy who fought his way to the top but he's also up in age and can be replaced with another veteran for 1/3 of that price or you can get a guy in the 5th or 6th round you can pick 2 running backs in the draft but there's no way i'm bringing him back for that price.

But that's the thing you should be paying Louis the $6 million they got those backwards.... And I know people don't really pay attention what kendricks did but he was beyond expectations he had a great season for what was expected I mean his numbers were as good as some of the best linebackers and he also was the leader back there this gotta be a way we can bring him back maybe not for that much but who knows what he'd play for...

here is my thoughts...and the dollars maybe a little more or little less

Osa - $21m - Resign, but only if we plan to also sign a good 1-tech DT
Lawrence - $12m - No thank you. bye bye. good luck. not a fit for us. he needs to go to a team and be a rotation guy so he can last the season.
Golston - $7.3m - Too expensive. he is decent. but not worth the money. not productive enough.
Dowdle - $6.2m - I like the numbers to be a little less. specially if we draft Jeanty. why pay a back up that's not even a change of pace back 6M.
Lewis - $2.3m - if that's the cost sign him. he has heart. his position is inside slot.
Lawson -$3.8m - not sure I care if we keep him.
Lance - $2.1m - the QB of future is gone (LOL)...
Rush - $5m - is there a cheaper option? most probably.
Kendricks - $6.8m - see ya.....

so I would say that's about 27M or so......that can have a 15M cap hit in 2025 if they manage it right.
