Osa Odighizuwa Free Agency

[conner01]

So you are hanging your hat on a single sources comparison - a dumbed down player evaluation too to boot- assume that method is best and only, and wave your hands a lot with a snotty tone.

Nice.

Is that a pay feature now for Spotrac?

$25-26MM a year for Osa is crazy. That would rank him like 8th amongst current DTs. You think he's in that class?

EDIT: That AAV would rank him 3rd amongst DTs currently under contract.

That’s why I suggested keeping gholston. He’s gonna be under 10. But contracts are mostly about when you sign them

there is projected salaries. I generally look at ours. But they were very close on Schultz, Gallup and others
Worth it really isn’t a factor in contracts. It’s more can you afford it. That’s why I suggested signing gholston since he’s much cheaper. We are already this on dline and we need to add there even before loosing osa. Mazi sure can’t be depending on. I’d sign one, draft one and keep gholston. But if you sign one who’s as good as osa he’s gonna cost as much unless you get a guy near the end and just wants a couple more years. Generally that’s a guy that’s got cut because the team he was on couldn’t afford him

Yes, this is the Jerry 'Rinse and Repeat', the element of relying on draft and development and then extending them to top level (overpaid) contracts to keep them from Free Agency....as the price would be massively inflated as there's only two DT's, in FA, on right side of average.

The annoying part, for me, is that Osa is the type of player that should of been 'traded' as part of the (soft) reset, and draft capital reinvested (same with J-Lew).

100% if we didn't plan to retain then we should have been taking calls. It seems we keep them knowing we'll eventually get a comp pick, but rather take the free handout than trying to improve.

To be honest I think bumping Golston back inside is the worst thing you could do. He was pretty much a JAG inside and did the majority of his damage outside at end. If you move on from OSA I hope they don't compound the issue by playing Golston out of position.

Gholston is good inside on passing downs. Run downstairs at dt he's worse than osa

JAG, let him walk but we like to pay our JAGs big $

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

they will have to sign a DT at league minimum.

1.xM

Keep talking that there is no money....simple restructures get $80m in cap space, extreme ones get $120m. I think we are more likely to do about 50-60m in restructures, resign Parsons(which actually lowers cap this year), resign all our ERFA and RFA, resign 3-4 of our UFAs and have some money left over to add a couple quality free agents. We also have 10 draft picks with the expected compensatory picks.

Why not sign Osa for $15 million? They are not bound to resign their two DTs for that amount. They can simply get rid of one of them and shop for someone younger, cheaper and better. You bet that Washington would sign someone like Osa for $15 million if given the chance.

I am not against signing OSA for something in that range. But I don't think Jerry would do it.

As I stated, Washington already has Payne and Allen. They drafted Newton in the 2nd round last year. Would it make sense to pay $15 million for a rotational player? Would Osa want to go there and be a rotational player behind Allen and Payne?

I doubt he would be behind Allen/Payne on the depth chart to be honest. Both have been pretty average and given their contracts one could be a cap casualty this year. Washington also probably plays more 3DT looks than people realize too. I'd think Washington would absolutely be in play for OSA.

Found this article about Osa kind of interesting. What is he worth?

https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/20...ncy-dt-osa-odighizuwa/?itm_source=parsely-api

I never thought of him as a top DT in the league, or even close, but some stats indicate he might be better than we think. I would love to keep him, but there is no chance I would pay him what Madubuike is making. If think Madubuike is just a better, more consistent player.

If Osa is going to cost $20 million or more, I would be forced to move on. He might still be improving but that seems expensive for what he brings to the table. The free agent list of DTs is short this year and I don't know if that makes Osa more valuable or not. I have to believe Jerry is probably not going to be willing to pay more than !4 million for Osa, if even that.

They can't keep overpaying their players and expect to build a balanced team. They might have to draft 3 DTs this spring because they may only have 2 under contract going into the2025 season, Mazi and Justin Rogers. Of course Jerry could spring for a free agent, something I do not expect to happen. Maybe they can get Milton Williams from the Eagles for less money.

He's been improving since our first loss in San Fran, where he was one of the better players on the field. But, yeah, he's not worth $20 mil.

I think they will let either Payne or Allen walk. Both haven't lived up to their billing this year. They may not go after Osa which I don't think they will. But they will surely beef up their front with a starter.

I can see Washington possibly trading Jonathan Allen. He is in the last year of his contract and would give them a $16 million CAP save. He has been injured and will be 30 this year. I don't see them cutting or trading Payne.
