May come cheaper and come on he still has a good amount in the tank
What is he 29?
Cooks = $8.46M ... turns 25 in Sept.
Edelman = $4.17M ... turns 32 in May
Hogan = $3.28M ... turns 30 in Oct.
Dorsett = $1.54M ... just turned 25 a month ago
Britt = $1.45M ... turns 30 in Sept.
TOTAL = $18.9M
Amendola (2017) = $1.7M ... turns 33 in Nov.
Thomas = $12.03M (2018), $17.53M (2019)
... just turned 30 Christmas Day
Be realistic:
RB: Blount - 1.5m
TE: Graham - 5.5m
DE: Peppers - 3m
DT: Clinton McDonald - 4.5m
LB: Zach Brown - 3m
BingoArmond Armstead.
Look at the contracts for players like David, Kirksey, Ogletree, Travathan, and Marshall for a Zach Brown comparable. It's going to be in the $8-10m range. The number for Clinton McDonald might be right but he was a starter on the worst defense in the NFL. Jimmy Graham is going to get offers worth more than $5.5m based on his name and position scarcity.
This probably isn't going to be a pretty offseason for the Patriots. Free agency is deep in positions like safety where they're already strong and weak in positions where they're weak, like offensive tackle. The big coups are going to come from keeping their own players like Lewis, Burkhead, and the tackles. They may add a few guys at the margins but I don't expect big splashes with the possible exception of a player like Sheldon Richardson. Unless they use the Garoppolo pick as a trade chip.
Brown is older than the others and never had a stellar season. I think Rolando Mclain is he's ceiling. I like McDonald a lot, he's numbers a very good also. And if they can restructure Bennett i don't want another TE here. I think they will retain 80% of our FA's. Butler is gone i would take a look at Amerson. I don't watch Oakland a lot but he was incredible in 2015.
If they do lock: Solder, Lewis, Dola, Fleming or Waddle, a good vet CB#2, a good LB like Brown or a ED and our ST guys like King, Ebner and Bolden. It's a pretty strong offseason. They have the money to do so. So they could use our early picks on DE, double dip ILB, SS(just to cut Richards), RB.
This may be unpopular and I might be called a troll but I spend almost all my free agent money making sure we have a pass rush.
I let Solder walk and I pay Waddle to be opposite Cannon and draft a tackle in the middle rounds for Scar to develop.
Solder is great player and better person but he is injured a good amount of the time and Waddle and Cannon can protect the franchise.
Scar has shown he can coach up mid range talent.
Heres what I do in the off-season
I pick up Thomas if Denver cuts him
I resign Lewis
I let Burkhead go resign him if Lewis is too expensive
I let Solder go for anything over 9 mill
I go after Zach Brown which we should of done last off-season as I pined for.
I take a flier on Sherman 10 Mill over 2 years
I resign Marquis Flowers we will have competition for his services.
I look for linebackers who are sitting on the bench or are coming off Injuries.
Would love Trent Murphy
We need mean Ness on the team Harrison gave us that I love Harrison and woundn't be opposed bringing him back but I'd rather go with raw speed.
I bring back Danny at a slightly higher salary he earned it.
I restructure or Cut Bennett if Bennett is committed he is worth 4 mill a season if not and he wants to retire or Chase money not a huge loss.
If the unthinkable happens and Gronk retires I go after Eifert.
Dwayne Allen is gone unless as some posters assume we love his blocking to pay him good money.
I'm in the camp that we can find a good blocking tight end cheaper or in the draft.
If we can restructure him down to 3 mill a season I'm good keeping him.
We go into the draft needing Linebacker D Line O line defensive back and Developmental QB.
I still wonder if we try to get Tom Savage at some point appearantly we we're in love with him in the draft and Lombardi claims we called him the Other Tom.
Thoughts?

I did too. It actually made me feel a little better after the SB, I was that excited about him.I actually had high hopes for him at the time

I was really hopeful Marsh could’ve turned into something for us, but during his time here, he never seemed to change. If the coaches weren’t coaching, that’s on them. I’m gonna guess that wasn’t it though and Marsh just couldn’t help himself. He was never very successful setting the edge, he had a tendency to get pushed around in running situations, he couldn’t cover, and when he rushed the passer he would bow too much and overplay the pocket completely. He was a big liability. Wish we could’ve coached him up, but the staff must have seen it as a lost cause.Niners resign Cascius Marsh to 2 year extension who say they love his pass rush and enthusiasium we could of used both of those in the Superbowl.
