Official 2020 Free Agency Thread

Field Yates @FieldYates
Amari Cooper's five-year deal with the Cowboys is straightforward: $10M to sign, a $10M base salary in 2020, with base salaries of $20M each year from 2021-2024.

And the talk is that Dak and the Cowboys extension will average $35 mil per year for new money. Debate is about length at this point.

Will be interesting seeing the total Cap hit of Zak + Cooper + Eliott and what percentage of the cap that uses up

SAK (Swiss Army Knife) Kyler Fackrell gets a writeup in the WiSJ.

Basically making the case that Fackrell got more pressure on QB last year than his 10.5 sack year.

Wasn't he lined up next to the baconator whenever they were both in together?

Some of the time. He was also in the middle at ILB (mostly for coverage on pass downs) and he played some straight OLB when Smiths were both getting a breather.

Corey Bradford!

Interesting case. Didn't he leave with an actual FA contract in hand? He did some damage unlike many others on list.

Yeah. Too much production. I thought of adding. Him.

Barry Smith!

For some reason I always had it that he was lost to the expansion draft, but that's not the case. He left in free agency. He joined the Texans, but had similar offers from GB and DET.

He had higher expectations. He was on a Driver-like path, but he never really had good hands.My two favorite plays were his deep bomb catch versus 49ers and game winning TD over the Vikings in '99.

Loved him as the 3rd WR. Every other game would just break it wide open. Almost Beebe like.

I was at that game. On 4th and 1 with :16 left Favre threw 23 yards to Bradford for the TD. Maybe the loudest I ever heard Lambeau Field.

I believe he had the last minute game winner over the Raiders to start the Ray Rhodes era as well.

He scored the TD to pull the Packers to within 3 with 7:20 left. https://www.pro-football-reference.c...9909120gnb.htm

Favre then threw a TD to the legendary Jeff Thomason with 0:11 for the win.

Nick Foles’ restructured contract with the #Bears lowers his 2020 cap hit from $15.6M to $5.3M. The new 3 year, $24M deal contains $21M fully guaranteed through 2022. The deal also contains $6M of incentives that double up as base escalators.
