I think they end up drafting the LT but will play RT this year. They will think between Leno and Ifedi, Leno is better. With him and Bars they have the backups in case to support the 2 new tackles we will draft.(I hope). On Olins podcasts they had a so called OL expert and he stated that Telven Jenkins is the 2nd best OT in this draft other than Pete Sewell. He should be there when we pick, we should grab him. He likes Slater from NW but says he will probably be a OG.

I have been listening to Olins podcast and he had a OL expert( studies the OL tapes all the time) and he called Leno an average LT. That because he is so light 309 , he lunges at DEs and when he misses it looks terrible on film . He keep using the term average all the time. If you watch tape of all the LTs in the league , they all mess up. I havent did that so I will have to take the guys word for it. He has no stake in praising or condemning Leno. On saying this, we have to draft a LT this year , period.

No way they spend 20 mil for a old LT, that would be dumb. As far as ratings Leno did have a mediocre season last year . They need to just draft a LT in the first round and have a cheap contract for 5 years, not a 33 year old Williams.

The front office just put you closer to your wish of both of them being gone. You should be happy.

Last year Dalton didnt get cut until April 30 before he was signed. If Pace would have did nothing and waited until the end of April we would be after his head just like now. For us to get Dalton last year we would have had to trade for him. Maybe the 4th would have been enough but we dont know. Now all we need to do is to sign Alex Smith and they can go for the trifecta for backup QBs.

I think that 18 is probably where he should be in the scale of good WRs, the problem is he thinks he's worth 20-22 mil a year.

Cory Davis signed for 3-37.5 mil. He is not as good as AROB but definitely would have been cheaper. Nelson Agholor signed 2-26 mil. I can see where he wants over 20 mil a year the problem is we dont have the money. This is the part of FA you dont want to be a part of , where most are getting more money than they are worth. Out of everyone out there, I think AROB was the best option, Goloday hasnt signed yet , Goodwin got tagged, so we will see what they get.

Would Floyd had that kind of year here if he came back instead of leaving for LA? I doubt it with the same defense.

If he wants the same money, 5 mil a year, I dont see him coming back here. Maybe he takes a 1 yr 3 mil after the dust settles in FA.

Fritz is gone, writers keep mentioning every QB that might be out there, it just gives them something to write about. Pace is usually decisive and goes after what he wants, so if people are gone that means he didnt want them, at least at that price. I think he is trying to work a trade. The options of Mariota, Darnold, or Minchew. I think the Wilson or Watson deals are pipe dreams. As far as Darold, isnt that kind of the same case as Tannerhill? Failed in Miami but found life in Tenn?

I read everything I can find on this subject and nowhere has anyone figured that in the equation. Does the dead money carry over eliminate that ? They have 8.9 mil in dead cap money. I go to both websites, Spotrac and Over the Cap and OtheC seems more reliable.

That's cool, he sure presents himself as a good guy.

Those 2 picks last year didn't make much since as their first 2 picks. I think they probably planned on letting Jones go after last year but changed their mind. Having a future QB in place isn't that bad an idea but with the first pick?

4 WRs are making over 20 mil a year. Hopkins is making 12.5 this year and 25 mil next year. He deserves over 20 mil but he is not in Hopkins price range.

I like everything he provides as a player, works hard, plays hard and good leader. At 32 with some injuries the last 2 years, his time may be over here.

IF he signs the tag now, then if he misses any practices, he can be fined. He doesnt have to sign it until summer, so their no rush on his part. He can not like it, but this happens all the time. They say he wants 20-22 mil a year. Only a handful of teams have the money to do that. As other WRs get signed and his options disappear he will sign it.

I think this signing suggests they may be letting Hicks walk. You figure Urban will be back on a low deal and possibly RRH may not find a home that could be back on a 1 yr cheap deal. With all the good players being released, a lot of the lower players with upside wont be finding a good paycheck.

I think they end up letting Hicks go. They save 10.5 in cap space and he has been hurt the last 2 yrs at 32 years old. I think they extend Fuller, he's younger and still playing at a high level.

I seen a couple trade scenarios that make sense. We get Wilson- seattle gets Johnson, 1+3 this year plus 2 firsts going forward and Sam Darold. Jets get a 3rd ( this year) and nick Foles. Seattle makes the trade because they have a QB prospect coming back and Carroll want to run and play defense anyways . So would you guys be up for that? I think if we trade for Darold for a 3rd and Foles, just go with him and draft a OT and WR.

IF Seattle is dumb enough to trade Wilson, why would they take big money vets to come back to them? They would clearly be rebuilding so it would only be the Smiths, or Johnsons going back. I think they extend Hicks and Fuller. That pushes the money down the road and both are still playing at a high level. They will do what they need to get the money they need but for what? They could back load a new contract for AROB, makes sense and not take all of it. For QB I think the Wilson and Watson trades are playing Fantasy football. Realistically they have to have a plan. Winston or Minchew? They need to get lucky and hit on a Tannerhill type of signing or hit on a Trask or Jones draft pick.

It would be nice to have him but with a terrible cap situation, he would be a luxury. They tried to fit him into the offense, but he was just best as a special teams guy. That 5 mil we might have to pay him can be used for a WR, TE or another RB. We cant keep everyone.

All this does is cover the couple of transactions they have did so far. Next will be a few cuts. I suspect the bargain players wont be coming until after the draft and people figure out where they are at.

Does somebody know the rules for actions done now and how can you wait until after June 1 to designate it. I think if the Wilson traded happen in the next few weeks, you cant designate it to a post June 1 trade. I always see cuts being post but you can do that with trades?

Somebody paid him 16 mil for two years at his age, damn straight he wants to stay here. I would not mind having him back but not at his 10 mil for this year. 5 mil a year would be okay. Maybe they cut him and then give him a two year 5 mil a year contract.

One deal done. Who is the next to get cut? Skine and Massie already gone. Graham is next but if we really have a shot at Wilson, they are friends.
