NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Official 2023 Free Agency Thread

[DaBruinz]

Well, if you lose Agholor and Myers, you’re gonna need some guys competing in camp. Odds are Dorsett would beat most of the UDFA’s. If he doesn’t, so what? Cut him and move on. It’s not an exciting move. I mean hell, I’d just give a shoulder shrug. Dude is 30 and definitely a bottom of the depth chart guy. Nothing to be excited about at all, but probably a lot better of an option than some street scrub. They lost Wilkerson as well, and who knows what Nixon is going to provide. Our WR group is hot garbage at the moment. I’m sure if they signed Dorsett, it means they just might be signing/drafting a whole gang of guys.

I love when people claim that Parker, Bourne and Thornton are "hot garbage" when, in reality, they are an very good base to add to.
When Bourne was used effectively in 2021, he was the Pats best receiver. Yes, better than Meyers. He is a catalyst type player. He spent last year in the dog house because Patricia and Judge couldn't handle him telling them they didn't know WTF they were doing when it came to trying to incorporate the Shanahan schemes. When he FINALLY was used ahead of Agholor, he produced.

That’s not that bad for him what do you think Uche will cost?

Tremaine Edmunds

4 Years $72m, $50m guaranteed.

Obviously, he wasn't coming to New England for $18m per season, $50m guaranteed.

Highest paid ILB in the NFL.

So in case you're wondering why the Patriots didn't sign him, that's why.

Now let's get Pierre Strong up to snuff to exploit the middle of the Bills D passing game.

 

[DaBruinz]

With the trade of Smith, I wonder if the Pats look at Dalton Schultz..

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Damn! I wanted Edmunds but not at that price . I thought the top mlbs would be in the 10m per range

 

[cupofjoe1962]

It is the first day of the tampering period and most of the best free agents haven't even signed yet and you are fustrated with our offseason?!?

The free agents available this year are below average & we need receivers with talent & I am not hearing any trade talk.

If we make a trade, I will be happy, but outside of a OBJ “can he still play?”, I don’t see any free agent receivers outside of Meyers who I would want & I wouldn’t give Meyers the money they are talking.

The thought of Meyers, Thornton, & often injured Parker to start 2023 frustrates me.

Why would you be happy with that?

 

[DaBruinz]

JSN is arguably the best receiver in the Draft. I've seen plenty of projections where he is gone by pick 14. I agree on Flowers, but I don't think he makes it out of the first round.

Skoronski is a risk to wind up at guard. Who else do you think is worthy of the 14th pick - P. Johnson, A. Harrison, B. Jones, D. Jones. D. Wright?

JSN isn't close to being the best receiver in the draft.

dalton or Mike Gesicki please.
Also Mo Allie Cox

So did the Bears trade their ILB so he could set the market only for them to sign Edwards a few months later and reset the market?

 

[JMC00]

JSN isn't close to being the best receiver in the draft.

I think he's the best for what this offense needs if Meyers goes.

 

[Bill Lee]

If I were the Packers, I’d take a 3rd AND pick up about 15M in salary.

Packers management (and to some degree, their fan base) want to move on from Rodgers, but that bad?

I mean our fan base is *****ing about a dead cap hit on Jonnu Smith, but Smith isn't a former MVP and SB winner.

you sound really sure of that for no reason at all lol

You tell em DB it's our favorite Zay Flowers.

Edmunds is better than Smith

 

[Love The Drake]

Edmunds is better than Smith

Debatable.

 

[patsfanfromoversea]

Johnson and Broderick, for sure, but Harrison has great film and he showed he was the strongest and most athletic of them all.

the biggest issue with harrison is play strength against power rushers

 

[signbabybrady]

Debatable.

Nope I wrote it in a message board so it's facts

don't understand why the bears are signing edwards and edmunds at LB. They need O-Line and Weapons a lot.
