Good lord. This defensive FA class is getting disgusting. So many contending teams needing to cut stars just to get by on the cap. And so many skimp on defense.

Was due $18M+ and it seems that they could not come to an agreement on a pay cut. You may remember his brother Armond spending some time with the Patriots in 2013, but he needed surgery for an infection and never played in the NFL.

Honestly with all the pics they have in this draft and how deep free agency is this was the right move for them.

Well? You assured us Mac would be the starter on Day 1. What happened? I thought Bob/GM was running the show.

Couldn't be happier to be wrong. The first glimmer of hope I have for 2024. Maybe the Kraft's manage to stay out of things enough.

From his Wiki page (my emphasis):

In Super Bowl LVIII, Armstead recorded one sack and six total tackles in the 25–22 overtime loss to the Chiefs. Two days after losing the Super Bowl, it was revealed that Armstead was playing through a knee injury during the playoffs, which later turned out to be a torn meniscus. Armstead told reporters that he suffered the injury on December 3, 2023, after a game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Armstead required surgery on the meniscus, which will cause him to miss most off-season activities.

Are we interested? He’s old but still a very good player. 1 year left on deal for $18M in salary. It’s a cap savings dump for LAC who desperately need to get under the cap so he can probably be had for a low pick.

I would take him for a 5th and extend him 2 years, also sign Ridley. Allen-Ridley-Bourne-Pop for the next 3 years will get the job done. That said, keep drafting and developing.

Wow....there seems to be quite a few defensive players worth looking at in safeties/ends position.

Focusing on signing some elite defenders would certainly be something that would help and already strong defensive unit.

DL is a great area to find free agents. Buffalo has a good one in DaQuan Jones. Remember Lawrence Guy was released. We could use a disrupt or in the interior to pair with Barmore. The two could run stunts This could be a surprisingly effective move, especially as we should go predominantly offense in the draft with our early picks.

I think we'd be interested if we don't get Ridley.

When is this 1pm.
It’s alread 2pm here I am waiting on news

Outside of LT Smith, I don't want our team to spend any real money on older, savvy veterans. This team has to focus on 2025 and 2026! Please sign younger blue chips anywhere we can get them. We can fill the roster holes in June after the draft. There are so many great defensive players available right now, time to upgrade.

Good list. Three seems unlikely, but you never know. I would replace Queen with Frankie Luvu and would add Bryce Huff (3rd best pass rush win rate).
