They have must have overpaid to keep him.

I mean they really weren't flush with cap to overpay for him?

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Unreal, Pats still in neutral. I’m done with this crap...

0-17

Three edge rushers in 15 minutes. Maybe a coincidence, maybe a sign that the market isn't as great as they had hoped.

They still got some other key FAs. Can they keep those guys by paying barrett 18 million plus?

Curious to hear about about tomlinson. I would love to see the pats make a move on him.

Keep in mind that the deals announced now won't be official yet, and may not end up getting signed. This happened with Anthony Barr two years ago - agreed to play for the Jets and then backed out.

From jackpot to regret: How Anthony Barr spurned Jets to stay with Vikings

I love this quote about him deciding to join the jets:

"He said, 'I feel like I just made the worst mistake of my life,'"

The Okwara deal shows that signing premier pass rushers isn't as terrible value as you might think. A guy like Shaq for say 19 mill vs Okwara for 13 mill - I think there's a clear upgrade with Barrett who is quite a bit more dominant on the edge. If you don't go for the premier guys, it's much better to just draft players there rather than go for 2nd-tier FAs at that position.

19 million for barrett is an overpay.

Okwara is far from premier pass rushers.. and “premier“ pass rushers that cant play run, set edge can easily be outschemed from the game

19 million for barrett is an overpay.

The 18 mill he just got (as a maximum salary) is not an overpay at all for a premier pass rusher in the NFL who can singlehandedly disrupt games (ala. playoffs).

 

[HailHydra]

Barrett got a nice deal.

18 mill as a max value (with all incentives) isn't too bad for the Bucs - some were expecting it to inch closer to 20 mill.

Might have to tune into Felger and Mazz for the lols today. I tune in like once a year (that's all I can tolerate).
