Our suspicion has been that it is less than his agent wanted. Agents like to advertise their successes. If Star took less money to go to a coach who got the most out of him in the past (a bridge contract) it might not be something that his agent wants to brag about.

I would absolutely take him for a 4th. Maybe even our later 3rd round pick.

Luck and it's not even close. To me, the injury risk is still worth taking a look for, even if he's at 80% for the rest of his career.

I'm happy for depth. Can he play linebacker?

He and Kelvin Benjamin would make for an excellent one-two punch. I just the fact that his Market is more than we may be willing to pay.

Interesting...I was under the impression Miami was in cap trouble. How did they finagle out of that?

Arizona is trading for a second-hand QB rather then developing their own talent? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!!!

From your lips to the Flying Spaghetti Monster's ears noodle holes

I also think that they are going to wait until day 2 of FA to go after a WR. Kelvin Benjamin is a capable WR1. I agree that we need to upgrade, but after seeing some of the ridiculous money that is being commanded, I would not go crazy about buying high.

Have we had any update at all what the terms look like?

In that they both have people who insist they are better than they really are, and show you a glimmer of hope before the bottom falls out? Bradford just gives you more, for longer.

Exactly what I was thinking. I am happy to not have another hole. Kyle works best as a single gapping charger. If we gets double teams, he is not nearly as effective. As much as I love the guy, this should be his last year with us, and like you said, we definitely should look for someone to take the reins.

Hey, don't call his nephew that!

I do think we should heavily invest in the O-line as well. I like Dawkins and Incognito, and I think Groy is going to be ok, but the right side...

Was he released, or a pending FA? I want to know for sure, but I'm pretty sure that we would have to find out tomorrow around this time.

I'm not the biggest Bradford fan. I have serious concerns about his health. However, if this is a prelude to him being the starter to start, and a rookie comes on if he gets hurt, then I can live with it.

Nice. That looks around what I think we have got for his production, and on a one year deal, I'm happy.

Link, or is that speculation?

Nice, nice. He still produced decently last year with the rest of the line falling down around him. With Star in the center with him, I am less worried about the D-line. We can hopefully spend our later picks in preparing his replacement.

That's my guess. They just signed Michael Bennet, and drafted Derek Barnett in the first last year. Between Brandon Graham and Vinnie Curry, they have $12 million to gain in cap space.

Keep an eye on the Eagles salary cap. Last I checked, they were still over by a good margin. If we want to replenish our D-line, them cutting a rotational player or two seems likely.

I am taking some of the humor out of it, but I sort of agree. 2017 was the wrong year to tank. I was very outspoken against the Watkins and Darby trade at the time. I cited the fact that our dead cap situation would be terrible in 2018. Well, I can't say that I loved every move, but I agree that getting the playoffs resets the clock and gets rid of the Sword of Damocles hanging over our head. Where I differ from you is when we would really compete again. I think this year is too much of a rebuilding one. We've gotten rid of a lot of contracts, we don't have a franchise QB (or a bridge QB ATM) and I think there are so many new faces incoming that it will likely take a year to gel. However, in 2019 we will have gobs of cap space. Assuming we hit on a franchise QB in this draft and we see where our holes are, I can see us seriously compering in 2019

Bucky Gleason Whoops! I had the wrong Bucky. For me Gleason is more annoying than Sully

Brees took it down to the wire, but I don't think anyone seriously thought Brees would go somewhere else.

It's really not that much, and we have q lot of dead cap from this, but I think this puts us top 10 in cap space. 2019 will be the year we get a ton of cap.
