How Many Deals From Today and Yesterday Would You Have Made?

[mgteich]

How many deals from today and yesterday would you have made. I understand that we might have had to pay a bit more to get the player, but presume that we could sign the same contract as was signed.

Knowing the free agents we still have out there, and other constraints,

WHICH DEALS WOULD YOU HAVE MADE?

My answer is none. What say you?

Very good thread.

Maybe Patterson.

Humphries and John brown are the closest.. but 8 and 9 mil respectively is a little too steep

 

[PatsFan2]

John Brown or Cole Beasley would have been a Patriot.

Going rate can't get something for nothing anymore. Edelman's contract in Today's NFL is a sin.

 

[Patstastic]

Would've signed Flowers. He actually got a bit less than people anticipated. Pass rushers of his mold don't come around often.

Patterson will be a big loss. Would've signed him to a deal he got from Chicago.

 

[ralmat55]

Great thread idea. Absolutely none!

 

[Ring 6]

I would have turned down the jets like Barr did.

I'm not going to second guess Bill, he's only given us 6 championships including two out of the last three years.

Going rate can't get something for nothing anymore. Edelman's contract in Today's NFL is a sin.

The thought of bringing in Humphries, Brown, Tyrell Williams, Inman, or Beasley and them making 20-40% more then Edelman is cringe worthy. Just gotta laugh it off if you're Edelman and dream of the day when you're wearing a gold jacket with a fist full of rings... I think a higher contract for Golden Tate would be closer to justifiable

Given the amounts involved, not a single one of them. Sitting on a ton of cap space would change that answer appreciably.

I wouldn't have gone to the beach.

Flowers got more than what people anticipated or at least from what I saw.

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

We got Trent Brown with a 3rd round pick
We got Flowers with our 4th round pick
We got Patterson for a 5th round pick

The Patriots know how to use their draft assets. We have plenty of them this year.

It's better than that. They got Patterson by dropping to 210 from 168 and Brown by dropping from 95 to 143.

Zilch

 

[Froob]

Patterson is the most popular deal in this thread? Hard pass. Love him but 5 mill is a big overpay.

Maybe Cole Beasley, but that’s it. If we can get Tate cheaper I’ll take it.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

I would have paid Dwayne Allen the $3.5m/year he got from the Lolphins

He couldn't catch a cold, but he was an integral part of our running game

 

[50-yard-line]

With the cap situation as stands? None...or maybe if there had been a greater immediate need: Jordan Hicks at 4/36. That looks like a pretty good deal for the Cardinals.
