NFL Free Agency/Offseason Thread

[Bretsky]

Here's my prediction: Cleveland can't find a trade for Baker, they eventually cut him, and he signs with Pittsburgh and becomes the next long term starter there and a very good player. Maybe not a super bowl type QB but the next tier down.

I'm CONFUSED on one thing

One Day NFL Network reported Watson visited Cleveland and eliminated them as an option
THEN
The day after the Browns traded for Watson

MAJOR F'ck up by media there; they never seemed to address that.

NOW

BAKER MAYFIELD............WHERE ?


I would think the Texans is the one team really in need of a QB, right ???

The Panthers and the Saints for sure need one and probably Philly, the Gints, too.

I don't see how the media (which ones? The ones who report or the am jocks who report on the reporting?) are to blame for reporting what their sources tell them, as long as the sources have a track record of being accurate and in a position to know what people are doing/thinking and make decisions.

Maybe the Browns' GM says "We'll offer Deshaun five years, but not fully guaranteed," and his agent tells his latte-fetcher to text the burner of Skip Mortenson about that conversation that the deal's now off. Skip puts it out on ESPN. The Browns' GM poops a brick and says "Okay, what if we did make it fully guaranteed?" How is that the media's fault?

Maybe, and this includes Rodgers' Romantic Polynesian Summer, more reporters should stop listening to flunkies trying to get their dude's message out when they know they're being used as leverage. Maybe they should say "You're famous and have credibility; we're not running anything that doesn't have your attribution onit," but that's gonna dry up sources when you have a legit story to break.

Everybody in the NFL has an angle. Everybody blusters in public, negotiates in private, leaks to their advantage, and then denies the leaks. I stopped taking anyone at face value when Jerry Jones said "If the players go a season without a salary cap, we'll never go back, and football will be destroyed forever." And the next season, they went back.

Certainly not the first time that happened with the God damned media hahahahaha.

I agree, Mayfield to Houston is logical to assume. Cleveland can't hang onto him with all the other QBs they now have, and Houston probably thinks they can get the price in trade way down for that reason.

Davante may want to renegotiate his contract:

Dolphins are giving their new WR Tyreek Hill a 4-year, $120 million extension, including $72.2 million guaranteed, per ⁦@DrewJRosenhaus⁩

Not sure what's going on, but any time I try to edit a post from my phone lately it ends up being messed up.

I wouldn't trust a Fan Sided article, Bretsky. Just some common schmuck writing click bait articles. The same dude has written 3 articles in the last day. One about how the Packers should sign Julio, another about how the Packers should trade for Tyler Lockett, and another about how the Packers should trade for Brandin Cooks. Talk about click bait.

I use my phone and use the mobile version. If you are using the mobile version you cannot use apostrophes or quotation marks or it cuts off. You can use the web version on your phone without the error. I like the mobile version so much that I write and make sure not to use apostrophes.

Yeah Mad what's up with that, I've seen that from my phone too and it's hella annoying.

Not a big market for old or injured wr this year. Obj ab Julio and fuller all still available. Of the 4 I think obj would be the best fit and that fuller has the highest ceiling.
I think we could get one cheapish, unless there agents have priced them out of the market.

[SudsMcBucky]

No way do I want anything to do with OBJ. Hell, he won't even be ready to try and give it a go until the end of the regular season at the earliest. And this is his 2nd. No thanks.

I thought it was a broken ankle?
Thats not a lomg recovery.

And with a bit of looking I see it's a acl knee surgery. So fuller is the best fit. But must be cheap!

[Bretsky]

i would like to see Julio or Fuller
but
Jarvis Landry would not be bad.

Just add a guy who can help and then draft two, and get 1 of the top 5 for an immediate impace

Sources: The Cowboys are hiring Brian Schottenheimer, the Jaguars’ pass-game coordinator last year, into a unique role, where he’ll help both coordinators, Dan Quinn and Kellen Moore.

Much of Schottenheimer’s job will center on league trends and game-planning. Pretty cool idea.

What does McCarthy do?
