2019 Free Agency Thread

[Patler]

I thought Boyle, playing with and against mostly guys who didn't make final rosters, looked better than Kizer did playing with and against mostly players who did make rosters. I'm not sure that those impressions from a few reason games last year mean very much.

Boyle has a cannon arm...release the dragon!

NFL Update @MySportsUpdate

The free agent market for safeties is loaded:


Tyrann Mathieu

IMO the most interesting player on the list. 26 years old former all-pro, has a ton of talent. Has kept his nose clean since being in the NFL. After the shoulder injuries a couple of years ago played all 16 games the last 2 seasons and had a damn good season with Houston.

This is the guy I want.

As PB noted, the list of potential free agents at Safety is strong. The period for teams to apply franchise or transitional tags to players runs from February 19 to March 5. Not sure if we'll see any action there. If Gutey plans on making a big move in free agency, Safety would seem a logical target. A big need, lots of free agents, and not a great 2019 draft class.

and if i remember right, the guy is a "jack of all trades". he can play CB, safety, and ILB. and he just has "IT"

his only negative was his attitude or behavior, and ike you said, he's been a model player since coming into the league

he's the type of special talent we are lacking on defense IMO

we need 2 starters there, we can't afford to draft and develop both. gotta sign at least 1 free agent starter

All true, but has also torn both ACLs since coming into the league, is small at 5'9", 185lbs and plays a style that doesn't bode well for NFL longevity. Played 16 games in 2017 but was released when he wouldn't take a pay cut 2 years into a 5 year contract. Has said he really likes and wants to return to Houston, so if he becomes available it will mean that two teams in two years let him go after the only complete 16 game years he has had in the NFL.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in GB, but the Packers should be careful with the structure of a contract. He has finished half his NFL seasons on IR with significant injuries that can have career and performance implications.

I don't mind his being departure from the Cardinals (mutual business decision) but I am curious about why Houston might not re-sign him.

The knee injuries are a bigger concern to me.

When is Tank going to start a thread suggesting we now sign Colin Kaepernick?

Ha! Owe ya a beer for that one, Cheez1.

Quite frankly, I'm a bit disappointed Kap "sold out" and agreed to terms with the greed-fucked fishmonger owners. Does he really need the financial gain that comes with the settlement? It's not like Kap was flipping burgers for the minimum-wage, and a fishmonger offered him a $100 K a year gig to distract him from the "Revolution," and he accepted it in the name of short-term survival.

Sure, it would've been difficult for Kap to prove collusion in a fucked up justice system. But there's no greater honor than fighting a losing crusade when one's fighting the good fight and exposing the truth along the way.

Still, I will not burn my Kap jersey, and I hope he signs with the Pack.

If the reported $60-80 million figure is close, I can't blame him one bit for settling. That is generational money he'd be risking. If the decision doesn't go his way, that's a BIG hit.

Fuck Kapnerfucker...

He's an ignorant piece of shit.

I keep hearing that the Pack will sign Earl Thomas. Thoughts on this happening and if it does he'll be even close to his HOF form?
