2019 Free Agency Thread

[Fritz]

Schefter
Former Vikings’ LB Anthony Barr intends to sign with the NY Jets, per league source. Jets get a pass rusher.

The two teams making the biggest splash so far are the Jets and the Lions.

As Dick the Bruiser used to say on Detroit radio back in the 80's, "Hmmm...what does this mean?"

Packers expected to sign S Adrian Amos and OLB Za'Darius Smith. Numbers not released yet.

Two nice signings. Per Pro Football Focus, Amos rated as the #8 safety out of 93 qualifying players in 2018

Smith rated in the top 3rd of all edge rushers in 2018, starting only 8 games.

As long as we didn't overpay these are 2 solid if not spectacular players. Now we need a guard to open up the draft to go BPA.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Interesting notes: I read that Smith is 6'4" 272. I vaguely remember Pettine liking bigger OLBs with the Jets. Smith seems to be a good fit for Pettine.

PFF's top three safeties over the last three years: Earl Thomas, Harrison Smith, Adrian Amos

Amos has been Wist's guy all along.

Something I just read that Smith's works out to like 16 million per. Balls, that's a lot of money.

Also Smith is a "Last Chance U" kid. I don't think he was on the show, but he did go to East Mississippi St.

Love both of those signings!!!

I haven't talked much about Snith, but he was on my list of edge rushers that I wanted. Figured he'd be too expensive, so that's why I focused on Barrett.

Amos can play... makes us better, and takes away a good player from Chicago.

Well done Gute!!!

I’ve been boycotting the NFL. Only non-Pack game I watched last season was Bears-Lions, and that lasted about 10 minutes.

Seriously, who the fuck are Amos and Smith? They sound like two Depression Era wanderers.

Somebody, Facebook me when the Packers sign Earl Thomas.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Packers also sign OLB Preston Smith - who I like. He's not a dynamic pass rusher, but he's solid all around and durable. He's another bigger OLB for Pettine. This is fun.

Goodbye Clay, Nick Perry, and Tramon Williams.

Also some speculation the Pack is in a small group for Leveon Bell.

Not sure they can afford Bell after these deals. Speculation that the Packers are interested in RET/WR/RB Cordarrelle Patterson and RB Mark Ingram.

Both Smith's are 6'4" 270+.

[Packers4Glory]

draft will be offensive heavy

Now that’s a name I’m familiar with. Get it done!

[call_me_ishmael]

I would be shocked if they don’t go defense at 12. Hoping for Oliver for the FSU edgie.
