I have a good feeling about this free agency period, and upcoming draft

[GimmeTheBall!]

Based on what, exactly? Hope?

Hope springs eternal. Spring hopes are eternal.

I am starting to have a good feeling about this free agency period, and upcoming draft. I honestly believe JJ & SJ are going to admit through actions that they're philosophy is a failed one. I really do believe we are going to sign 2-3 solid FA's and have an excellent draft !!
......maybe

And it still may not be enough.......We got 2 problems. QB...and that offensive line is a mess. I have zero faith in Guyton being a left tackle.

@Dallas5xchamps again Mark this as me and you are on board when we sign players in a few weeks let's remind them of what they said

 

[T-RO]

With most every team re-signing their own valued free agents...

The free agent class will look something like this:
• 2-3 possible difference makers (at wildly extreme prices)
• 30 potentially nice contributing starters (again, highly-inflated price since there aren't many)
• 5 big gambles, esp. at QB
• Lots of spare parts or gambles

There might be 30 good, reliable free agents available for 32 teams to haggle over.

Despite the wild nonsense of some high-volume voices on this forum...free agency is a STUPID approach to improve your team. Pure myth. Drivel. Nonsense.

And...sadly...this draft class ain't great.

That's why we're going tier two at least

And the rest of us will hope for the best prepare for the worst and believe it when we see it.

If anyone doubts my last post? Go to the NFL.com list of top free agents. Check out their age, their recent injury history, their PFF scores.

A few good players and an island of question marks and misfit toys.

We've had posters devote 10% of their lives here, arguing for big spending on free agents. Time they'll never get back, devoted to pure silliness and the pursuit of meaningless approval from the poorly informed.

Sounds good I like this answer!

Good points but we have holes on this team that need to be filled and maybe they can finally be filled with guys that can maybe play a little football. We like to get the guys that are career backups and say we did something. We DON'T have to get the biggest name available that's dumb, but look at the second wave see what's out there hopefully there's a minor gem or two that got looked over during the first wave and their price can come down

Except this isn't how they have operated in the last few years. Free agency will tell us more, but it feels different to me....

yeah it does seem different, and I like shotty as HC, but I dont think he has much influence
over player acquisition in FA or draft.
It will be the same 2 bozo's doing that , so I will wait and see what they actually do different.
I dont expect much, but maybe they surprise me?

One thing that makes me suspicious is they havent tried to extend Micah yet !
Why not? He said he would take less !! So why mess with osa and the others,right
now and do nothing with micah ?
Extending micah would give them even more money to spend in FA, way more than Osa and
some other minor players.

So that makes me think they arent planning on spending big in FA.
They also have not re worked CD or Daks deals to create money for FA.
Fish went on and on about 100 mil they could create if they wanted to, and he thought
it was for this upcoming FA period.
I think even he is having doubts about it now, but is still hopeful they will do it .

I have to see it to believe it.

also it depends on who is available each year !

Not every year is a good year for FA moves or big ones anyway.
But last year Barclay, and Henry were both available at a good price.
the jones boys didnt even contact them lol.
Tyreek hill was available couple years back, as well as other good players.

Some good pass rushers available this year to teams willing to pay and be aggressive.
Crosby, myles, maybe tj watt, and couple others.
Imagine having another good pass rusher to combine with micah, and then draft another one
high.
Dallas could have the best pass rush in the league, and I saw what that did for philly in the SB !
They only rushed 4, and rest played coverage.
