NFL FA signing thread

[102 Pat]

Mike Silver reminds me out that out of touch adult who tries to act like all hip. And look, grandpa Casserly is back.

NFLN host "Is this allowed?"

Casserly "I dont know"

Gold Jerry, gold...

Jets?

If by at least half they mean 15,999,999 dollars I could see a team making that trade.

Jets?

So Cleveland gets a second rounder for taking on Brock's salary, then gets another draft pick for him and pays only half his salary?

That's actually....really really smart.

If there is even the smallest bit of credibility with this source then hmmm....

That's not a bad signing by them actually.

 

[VectorPrime]

first and a second this year and a second next year

 

[sb1]

Decent contract.

 

[TeamFirst]

first and a second this year and a second next year

Add a 3rd next year as well and it's a done deal!!

Pats?

#12 and 2 2nd round picks for JG would seem pretty good.

The #12 this year and #53 and the Texans pick next year.

I'd take that. That would be the value of 2 first round picks.

Edit: More info. Draft value chart Gives #53 - 370 points and #64 (the lowest it could be) 270 points. That is 640 points. The #32 pick is 590. By definition if this trade happens you get 2 first round picks of value and no less than

640+1200 = 1840 (4th overall is 1800). Seems very reasonable.

Hmm.. Just saw that Alshon Jeffrey turned down more money and more security from the Vikings to take the 1 year deal with Philly.. Personally, he's playing with fire.

He's betting he'll have a very good to great season with Wentz n re-enter FA 2018

He has more upside. Don't sleep on the Eagles. They are going to make the playoffs this year. Bookmark this.

They'll have to go in as a wildcard team

 

[VectorPrime]

I'd still pay him.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Not how it works. His salary is $3.91M this year. His agents seem desperate here.

 

[DaBruinz]

What Butler's agent wants and what is reality are two entirely different things..

They'll have to go in as a wildcard team

And they will.

That's actually....really really smart.

If the Pats pulled that kind of Salary cap chicanery (that the Texans especially did), there would be huge fines and forfeited draft picks in our future for violating the "spirit" of the salary cap or some such made up reason.

Plus an emergency rule change.

Does Wentz have any better a track record than Bradford? Confused...

I personally saw Bradford play when Vikings played the Eagles: I was not impressed!
