    Mafe to the Bengals

    The cap has gone up a ton, but it's still up to the smart GMs to figure out what the real value is. Paying someone $XY million just because some other team did is not a super bowl winner is built (or maintained). How often are teams happy 2-3 years after making these huge signings? Not very...

    Late FA tidbits from ESPN

    Yes, and letting players go if they aren't worth the money is part of doing something.

    Walker to the Chiefs

    I said before that I think the Hawks "need" to sign a cheap(ish) veteran looking to join a playoff team on a 1 year deal. We pay much less than Walker is getting, and we don't have to worry about wear and tear on the vet because he's likely just here for 1 year. We use him as much as we see fit...

    Walker to the Chiefs

    Yep. Smart teams get the cheap years and let other teams pay for the player's decline. I'm glad we didn't sign him and I hope we don't sign shaheed. Let other teams make expensive mistakes.

    We will suck next year because...

    We're not going to suck next year from losing any of our remaining FA, especially from the offensive side. Drake Thomas at $4m per is better than Shaheed or Walker at $12m. I'm sure I'll have something to complain about by the time our cap space has been used up, but no complaints about any...

    You can only keep one (poll)

    Why wasn't there an option to keep neither? I wouldn't keep either one on a FA contract.

    Trades?

    You are correct. Maybe 20% of these deals work out for the team that gave up the picks. I could be an NFL GM for 100 years, and not once in those 100 years would I ever trade 2 1sts for a veteran who is already getting paid.

    To All You Eeyores and Chicken Littles

    Not wanting a player to be re-signed, not thinking a player is worth the $$$, or being disappointed a player *wasn't* re-signed doesn't make anyone a ________. I've never understood people who blindly support everything. People are merely saying what they *think* is the correct move. Blindly...

    Geno Smith done in Vegas after one season

    Which Kansas City Chief are you drooling over?

    Crosby traded to Ravens

    Good trade for Raiders, and they had already burned bridges with Crosby so it needed to get done. Now he gets to play for a real team, and the Raiders can move forward with their rebuild and no longer have to answer questions about trading him. It just needed to happen.

    How to wreck your career.. crazy

    There is no justice in America. The robbers would've been given community service and $1000 fine. You can argue about whether it was smart or not, but there is absolutely zero justice in this country unless you get justice yourself. The government prosecutes vigilantes harder than actual...

    Geno Smith done in Vegas after one season

    What would Mendoza learn from Geno? Also there was absolutely 0% chance of Geno coming back. Last season was an absolute dumpster fire, and from a business standpoint they couldn't tell their fans to look forward to the same thing. It would've been extreme malfeasance. The Raiders releasing Geno...

    Running Back by Commitee

    Seahawks have had tons of injuries at the position over the years, so a platoon makes the most sense. We're going to end up needing multiple RBs to carry the load anyway, so why not aim for 2 main guys who share carries automatically? When one gets injured you just increase reps for the other...

    Trades?

    No it wouldn't be a colossal misuse of draft capital. Drafting someone with a 3rd and then trading him for a 5th a year later when he no longer makes sense to keep would be pragmatic. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but: 1. We absolutely aren't keeping 3 QBs 2. Milroe is behind Lock Those 2...

    Trades?

    I expect JS to trade our first rounder for more picks. We're going to lose most of our FA unless JS wants to ruin the cap with overpays, and we'll need to keep drafting replacements. Currently not enough picks to do that. As for player trades: Milroe for a 5th on draft day. We're not keeping 3...

    So much for running it back.

    Brady actively gave discounts of $5m+ per season, back when that was a lot of cap space. Then they got smaller discounts from WR/TE who wanted to work with Brady. As much as I'd love to see the Hawks replicate it here, we just don't have the right ingredients. The Patriots had a very special...

    So much for running it back.

    100% There isn't a single starter on defense that I would place Shaheed or Walker above. I would absolutely take any defensive starter over them. We won with an overwhelming defense that matched up well against almost every team, and on offense it wasn't Mr 21 yards per game (Shaheed) doing the...

    So much for running it back.

    "Running it back" Very few teams would repeat by bringing back literally the same roster. Letting guys go and bringing in new guys is just part of the NFL. Every team has to do it, not just the super bowl winner. Part of roster construction is having a lot of quality guys on rookie deals. No way...
