The NFL Free Agency and Trades Thread

$20 million dead cap hit? Ouch Baby! Very ouch!

 

[Risen Star]

I mean, the defensive line was weak going into free agency and it's since gotten weaker. You can't go into the draft this way.

 

[Stash]

Another short stay.

I wonder if he's our 'answer' for pass rush?

I agree, but try telling that to these two:

They have not added anyone but McCoy and even and it is a BIG IF the South Carolina DT is there at 17, that still is not enough.

big and little Enos Burdette are the perfect clones of Jerry and Stephen. Well done

They lost Quinn, Bennett and Collins. Even with those guys it wasn't good enough.

It's criminal that they weren't ultra aggressive to improve this early in FA. They truly have no clue what they're doing.

And it's also not dripping with great edge players either.

So its kind of stupid to not have more at DE right than they do.

McCoy replaced Collins. You still are down Bennett and Quinn. And they've done ZERO to address DE.

I'd be all for trying to talk Bennett into a one year deal at this point.

I have little doubt they think Gregory and Jelks and Jackson and Armstrong are going to blossom. This smells like WR circa 2018.

Thank you sir! I have always found them to be quite appropriate as well!

Oh yeah, can't wait for the latest "Is this the breakout year for Dorance Armstrong" stories to come out!

It's been very quiet for too long. We must be working on something big.

These fourth tier free agent signings require patience, and tours of The Star. Hardly something you can rush.

 

[LifetimeBoysFan]

While they are at it they may as well put A-a ron on the trade block. So another team can land him.

 

[LifetimeBoysFan]

I agree, but try telling that to these two:

Absolutely spot on! Rest of the owners are the Bandit stealing players right from under their nose too

Fair enough but if they happen to feel ok about getting Irving and Gregory back....

Hey the way this offense is being paid they can barely afford a defense. It may get to where they need two flawless drafts in a row to have a chance.

I desperately wanted Coopers money spent on defense, but...

 

[Bigdog]

Trust the process

I hope MM’s process is faster than Garrett’s.

They're still sitting on close to $22 million in cap space according to Spotrac, with an additional $8 million gained if they cut Crawford.

They've got money.

And somehow Philly who was seemingly in some cap hell signs Hargraves and trades for Slay.

If you want someone, you can make it happen. We just don't want to make things happen. We'd rather be cheap.
