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

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.
 
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
 
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.

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.

Let's break this down, yes it does depend on who is available, this year and other years you're going to pay a HUGE bidding rate for players who maybe shouldn't get what they're getting. Those are the players that we shouldn't worry about. It's the guys that we can get that hopefully we took the time to assess who can be actual assets for this team and not just backups and probably get cut after camp is over!

We had a chance to get those RB's we were too cheap, but I believe they had a plan last off season, and that plan was to NOT go hard and try to actually win/actually try to get a good runner to help take the pressure off of dak. Maybe they were focused on paying the 2 big deals they needed to get done and that was it.

It would be nice to get another pass rusher to go with Micah, that way who would you double team??????? With that said, having another stud pass rusher, paying him good money, micah, and possibly osa??? That's a lot of $$$$$$ on the DL. I'd be happier if we could get a few guys (depth) in here, but hey we shall see

Respectfully this is an objectively horrible take. Are you really unaware of the players the most recent SB champ added in just one off-season through FA? I haven't looked closely at this year's crop, but to call improving through FA nonsense.....

How embarrassing.

Sad that fans fall for the con mans crap every year.

I do half expect a moderate change in course, only because the fanbase is at an all time high for skepticism. We're watching another core fail miserably without any relief in sight. He wants to keep us coming back and if all he does is talk this offseason it's going to be worse than last year.

I'm far from a "good feeling" though. I like the staff Schottenheimer has installed, but any optimism will be after we are active in free agency if at all.

just ask yourself what would philly do ?? and then what would wash do?
Wash has 82 million in cap space ready for FA spending lol.
They wont be on a yacht when FA starts lol

Fish says dallas could have 100 mil if they want to get some FA.

You're breaking my heart Don lol, you're exactly right, I just read a post that possibly the Eagles going after a Myles Garrett and washington wanting him to. I wish we wanted players, but this going back and fourth would drive up the bidding price for him. May the best team get him, may we find a good OT that can help block these pass rushers! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I agree. It really started when the Jones let Shotty select his own staff. I am optimistic.

I believe this coaching staff will get the players they need to improve this team.Ol Jerry and son may have heard enough from the fans and media that their formula has been a failure, and feel the pressure to improve .Their seems to be culture change in the works , from Schottenheimer hiring his own staff and Ol Jerry and son being a little quicker to make decisions .They usually are not this fast in negotiations as they are with Osa at the moment things may be getting better.
