FEATURED FA agent thread

[Hawkeye0202]

Super Bowl....that's how we do this right?

Fine, if Dalton's looking for a starting gig, I'd rather this guy anyway

68. QB ALEX SMITH
Smith completed one of the greatest comebacks in sports history to get back on the field in 2020, and though he made a clear difference to the Washington Football Team when he started, his play was short of where it was before his devastating injury. Between age, declined play and a recurring calf problem likely linked to his recovery, Smith is likely a backup at best going forward, but he could be an invaluable resource for a team looking to rely on a young quarterback as its starter.

Contract Analysis: This may have been a tough decision emotionally, but it certainly wasn’t from a business standpoint. Smith’s return to the field was nothing short of a miracle, but he showed the effects of a brutal leg injury that almost ended his career. Washington took out a $12 million insurance policy on Smith’s contract that followed his trade from Kansas City and was able to recoup some of that cap space following the gruesome injury that knocked him out of the 2019 campaign. He’ll clear $14.7 million off of Washington’s books as they look for their franchise quarterback of the future.

Projection: Smith signs for one year, $3 million fully guaranteed.

Don’t see anyone stopping TB unless they have significant injuries.

No wins against father time. What is they say, he is undefeated.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I guess so but WOW.

How much of that money was earned when KCs starting LT got hurt?

A lot of it because unlike the season prior he was rather pedestrian...

Chiefs could’ve stopped them if not foe their significant injuries.

How many honest offers are the cowboys making today.


There must be so many that free agent players’ heads are spinning.

 

[Risen Star]

Love this time of the off season and being underwhelmed. Intoxicating

It's like taking an Erik Williams head slap.

You, my friend, can't complain. You wanted to waste all those millions on that QB. There are consequences that come with that.

Anyone know if Jerry’s yacht has left for the Bahamas yet? Should be back at the end of next week.

Are they really on vacation again this week?

Nope. But it is a great running joke. Still believe that was one of the biggest slaps in the face I have gotten from this team and being a fan.

Mine was last Tuesday.

You sure it wasnt when the Colts traded for your hero?

He wasn't pedestrian. JFC you guy dont look at anything other than googling sack numbers. He was top 3 in the NFL in most advances pass rushing metrics.

I'm predicting we will do whatever we want whenever we want to.

Charles Woodson in Green Bay was one of my favorite non-Cowboys players.

Intense, LB mentality and still better athleticism than many NFL CBs. He was "All In".

Broaddus said on theFan that Charles Woodson is the reason Parcells fired him. He would on and on that they should sign Woodson and Parcells had enough.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that is probably not the entire reason he was fired by Parcells.

The 100 best available NFL free agents remaining in 2021

NFL Free Agency is officially here and all of our questions about who will land where will finally be answered. PFF has provided you with our top free agent rankings in the weeks leading up to free agency, and we will continue to do so throughout the coming days by updating the list after every single signing is made.

With the help of our free agency database containing advanced analysis and data that you can get access to, we present to you the best players still available on the open market:


1. WR KENNY GOLLADAY
There may be no better endorsement of a top receiver than the difference it makes to his quarterback when he is on the field. Matthew Stafford is a different player when Golladay is on the field, and the wideout clearly has confidence in his ability to go up and get the football in tough spots. He battled injuries this season, but Golladay’s 628 yards on deep (20-plus yard) passes ranked second in the league in 2019.

Golladay has the size and athleticism required to be a big target on the outside, along with that contested-catch prowess, but he also possesses enough nuance in his route running to function well in any system. The NFC North has featured some great receivers in recent seasons, and Golladay is up there with the best of them.

Contract Analysis: We don’t think the rumors of him to the Giants through trade were by accident; Golladay’s representation was probably trying to help him land on a team more interested in giving him the long-term contract he deserves.

Prediction: Four years, $85 million ($21.25M APY): $57.5 million total guaranteed, $37.5 million fully guaranteed.

If he gets anywhere near that it won't be long before Cooper's contract is a bargain.
