The NFL Free Agency and Trades Thread

[darthseinfeld]

I’d sincerely like to check in on Aqib Talib to check if he still wants to play in 2020.

Its Fish so FWIW

 

[LifetimeBoysFan]

I didn’t even realize he was out there. Sure wouldn’t have objected to giving him the backup gig here

 

[Risen Star]

So, he felt crap but went to a race anyway? Is that what I'm reading?

I'm not exactly sure.

Thanks for that.

THEY LIKE THEIR GUYS LOL

They do such a great job drafting.

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.

Lose Quinn, gain Gregory.

Lose Bennett, gain Crawford.

This is their answer even if it's a poor one.

Sad but true. In their mind there probably isn't even a need.

Oh it's a poor one, no "if's" about it...

Colt would have been a better back up for us than Rush.

LLLOOOLLL

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.

True.

It's looking like McCoy was the big addition to status quo however.

I could see them earmarking about 10 million for a Quinnesque trade at some point

Do you have any potential candidates?

 

[Rayman70]

funny

that was a ****** thing to say by matt.

 

[darthseinfeld]

No, really hard to guess at this point. Would never have guessed Quinn last year

 

[Carson]

Maybe it was motivation? Not sure

But Slay can ball regardless. He will start getting pub now he’s in a market that’s not Detroit

I'd think you would have to look for a team that's 'blowing it up' like the Dolphins clearly were last year.

Thus far, the Rams look to be closest to doing that given their cuts and attempted trades. Perhaps rather than trading for a player like Quinn, we simply sign Clay Matthews as a free agent? Plenty of similarities in age and past production, and Matthews obviously has a long-standing history playing for Mike McCarthy. I think he could have a role as a pass rusher in what has been talked about as a flexible-styled defense under Nolan and Edwards, but that's me.

Well that was fast.

Back to Georgia.

Another thing is they could also be looking to turn a 6th rounder into a 3rd like they might be able to with Quinn
