NFL Free Agency 2022 edition

[Patsgofor4]

Ok, but why?

Because Bill signed Agholor.

 

[Love The Drake]

I don’t believe that.
Honestly I’m not even mad the chance to catch passes from Mahommes is a tough thing to compete against.

DJ Chark to the Lions is what’s inexcusable.
Losing a free Agent to Rams and Chiefs is understandable.

Having Mac Jones as your QB is not a drawing card for top WR's

Come on it’s him competing against Mahommes and Andy Reid as your OC vs who?
Joe Judge?
Nick Caley?
Easy Easy sell for KC.

I'm curious why people here give the Incarcerated Bob of the Pats beat the time of day? He's a wannabe with no sources or hook ins to the NFL let alone the Pats.

Miami does have two first round picks in 2023. Could be an interesting situation.

Yea I'm sure Dale Arnold has the inside scoop on what would be one of the most wild sports free agency/trade moves of all time. The takes about Brady playing for another team in 2022 were plausible at one point, but expired immediately when he said he was coming back to the Buccaneers specifically, and texted guys like Mike Evans and Godwin about it.

Brady has not signed an extension with TB and could be a free agent in 2023

Next year = 2023

In what world is Marquez Valdes-Scantling a top WR?

Also is Tina a draw for WRs? ‘Cause he just got Hill? Is Carr, ‘cause he got Adams. Is Baker Mayfield? He got OBJ, then Cooper.

Next year = 2023

Maybe. In the context of football, a lot of people refer to the upcoming season with "next year". Especially being so far away from week 1.

Is it just me or is Juju not even remotely a good enough dancer to be posting this much dancing videos on tiktok?

Not sure how teams are going to build in the future when receivers are getting $28-30million and QBs $45-50million...

You seem to be confusing trades and free agency

Not sure how teams are going to build in the future when receivers are getting $28-30million and QBs $45-50million...

Anticipation of the cap exploding to $250m by 2024. $50m for a QB will be 20% of the cap, consistent with top end QB before. The 12% of cap going to a WR is new though, it’s never been that high. That’s where any problem may occur.

You've clearly have forgotten BB's quote "We're not collecting talent. We're building a team."

It's very easy to not be pissed when you look at things through the lens or reality and not some trumped up BS garbage like you are doing. And yes, you are doing that. You sure as hell aren't looking at it from a realistic standpoint.

That's a nice old quote. Probably got it from a motivational speaker seminar. It'd look good in a bumper sticker too.

Teams saw what Bucs did in 2020: brought in talented players via FAcy and won a SB.

Teams saw what Rams did in 2021: brought in talented players via FAcy and won a SB.

In 2022 teams (Bills, Raiders, Broncos, Dolphins, Browns, Chargers, etc) are bringing in talented players via FAcy with the goal of winning a SB.

Clearly, there's more than one way to make it to the dance. Sure, you can continue to try the old methods despite having lost your cheat code. It'll take time.

You say that 20% of the cap is somehow reasonable for QB's.

1) Please list all the SB winning teams that were spending more than 20% of the cap on their quarterback.

2) over 15%.

So are the 10 other good teams in the AFC supposed to get worse too? Because the Pats not getting better roster wise does not exist in a vacuum.

. The Patriots have 32 players signed for 2023.. Not including DMac's void year. The Texans were the only AFC team ahead of the Pats, though the signing of Trent Brown and Malcom Butler might have moved the Steelers ahead of them..

In the AFC East:
The Jets have 40M - 42 players signed
The Dolphins have 29M - 37 players signed
The Bills have $25M - 38 players signed

This clearly puts the Patriots in a better position to offer contract extensions or bring in higher priced free agents.

BTW, With the fact that Scandling is getting $10M/year, I don't think Agholor's contract is all that bad now..
