2021 NFL Free Agency/Trade News & Discussion: April Edition

I may be the minority but I would of rather signed Ingram for low money and use the cap in the secondary or the WR then to throw a brinks truck at Judon.
Again nothing against Judon I think he will be a really good player for us i just prefer to spread the cap around.

You are talking about swapping two very different players. Ingram is 6 foot 2, 245 lbs. Judon is 6 foot 3, 270+ pounds. Very different frames.

BB clearly targeted Judon to fill the role of physical edge who well hopefully be an asset not only as a pass rusher but also as a run defender. The latter was sorely lacking last year. It is incorrect just to say “I would’ve signed Ingram to a lesser deal over Judon”, because you’re comparing apples and oranges….Not to mention the fact that Ingram is 3 to 4 years older and coming off a knee injury.

I can agree with this my point is I don’t want to lose a top tier secondary to get a little younger of a player and more stout.
If we retain both Gilmore and Jackson then all is good.
If we retain 1 we can work with that.
If we lose both God help us.

then to throw a brinks truck at Judon.

Judon’s deal is a bargain.

 

[50-yard-line]

Judon’s deal is a bargain.

100% agree, but then, just watching a lot of Ravens games, I think he's a much better all around DE than many of those rated ahead of him based on sack totals, a criteria I think greatly overrated.

 

[captain stone]

Judon’s deal is a bargain.

I wouldn't call it a "bargain."

At best, it's a fair deal IF he plays up to his end of it.

You mean if the team is unwilling to pay what these players can get elsewhere, then we are truly screwed.

It seems that there are 3 options for Gilmore, and large numbers here will be pi$$ed no matter the decision.

1) Gilmore gets enough to make him OK for 2021, likely with a no franchise clause for 2022.

2) Gilmore signed a 2 year or longer extension at serious money.

3) Gilmore is traded, perhaps after some hold out.

THE TWO UNLIKELY OPTIONS
4) Gilmore is a star from Game One with no change in contract.
5) Gilmore signs an extension at lower than market rates.

is Gilmore healthy? Corners performance decline and incidents of injury are usually linked and they are not usually gradual!

That's the thing for me...Unless Bill has already seen him run etc either via video or personally, then I don't know how an extension can be agreed-upon without knowing if he's even the same player he was in 2020, never mind 2019...

[TheRainMaker]

That sounds extremely high, but I’ll wait for the details. The 9ers are very good in signing cap friendly contracts.

 

[Uptown]

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

32 years old, 6'3" tall, 315+ lbs. BB might be in on the discussions as not a lot of teams have cap money, but at 32 I doubt it. Would be a good rotational piece, but after shoulder surgery and at 32 years of age, I doubt there is a lot left in the tank. Might start out strong, but hard to imagine he will last well in games 10 - 17.

 

[captain stone]

The Pats should be one of them, if only to seek a workout/physical...Geno Atkins too...

I saw a proposed trade of Derek Carr and 2 1sts for Rodgers and that makes alot of sense.

Best move Caserio may of ever made.
Houston robbed them in that trade.
I’ve always liked Miller.
