The NFL Free Agency and Trades Thread

[Gaede]

The annual first week of free agency ruage, to be followed by week two of rage, and finally the offseason will end with the usual, “We actually played it smart and improved.”

Not all the time. When the Boys signed Allen Hurns to be their starting WR alongside Cole Beasley, many of us bemoaned their ******* free agency plan for the entire offseason.

I'm not concerned with the big names that are signing--I'm concerned that, through our inaction, we'll have too many holes to fill through the draft. Right now, we have major needs for SS, DT, DE, CB, and WR, and no one on the roster to fill those holes.

We'll get around to it next week. Can't have all the good and semi-good players sitting out there. Causes confusion when we look in the bargain bin.

RAVENS YES. Cowboys? Explain...

Im glad all three of Witten, Collins and Heath are gone. Its time for new blood.
Sorry I enjoyed Witten back a couple years back with ROMO.
But after that he just hasnt been the same. His attitude just got worse

 

[Bigdog]

Well that stinks. I was hoping we could at least give him an offer.

 

[Bigdog]

Next one will be the Cowboys. Wave of talent coming.

The anticipation is killing me. I don't how I am going to sleep at night. Jerry and Stephen have out done themselves this time.

 

[Xavier187]

There are still alot of Quality DTs out there

 

[cristglo]

what was the purpose of retaining a FB that we never use?????

SS Donovan Wilson
DT Trysten Hill and Antwuan Woods
DE Randy Gregory
CB Jourdan Lewis
WR Jon'Vea Johnson

There. Feel better?

McCarthy does have a habit of using his, so maybe the cycle will be broken?

I think we could see more one-tight end sets next year with Olawale in there as fullback. He's basically a short tight end with good speed. We underused him, but it's possible that McCarthy won't.

Hopefully so When they did use him the last few years he was shell shocked lol

All kidding aside, I do like the upside of several of those players. I just wouldn't care for the team counting on them to reach their potential without at least some reasonable fallback plan.

Completely agree. I'm a fan of Lewis and Wilson. Not so much the rest of them. But yeah, hope the team isn't counting on them to fill these roles

 

[Cwby41]

Looking at this money going out Im actually glad we are waiting. If we could bring in Harris on a good deal and Snacks Id say we had a good free agency. Go Safety and BPA in draft and than fill in the holes. My only question is why haven't we restructured Crawford yet if we are gonna keep him

 

[Carson]

Doesnt he prefer tough hard nosed guys like Kuhn and Ripkowski over the finesse guys

 

[Stash]

Possibly.

 

[Risen Star]

Now we're losing guys that aren't even free agents.

Rabblerabblerabblerabble!!

 

[Risen Star]

With the Lee extension I think the team is probably done in FA.

We're a better team than we were a week ago.
