How does that change this discussion?

As opposed to the risk of lesser players not developing? Get the best talent in the draft and fill gaps via free agency.

Take the corner. Rosters flip drastically in 2-3 years and I want the best player on the field in 2020 and 2021 and 2022. Not the guy that is less likely to succeed and will be forced into a higher pressure situation day 1. plus injuries. Come September who knows what the CB depth chart looks like. One injury to any of 3-4 guys and you’ve filled an immediate need too.

I’m on board for BPA. If if they think there is a great corner vs an ok wr- go get that corner.

Yea... he’s more important than Brady ::eye roll::

Its 2/3 the cost of a qb for perspective. That’s not crazy from years past is it?

If drafting current NFL players I’d get through quite a few DL before picking a TE too though

I refuse to buy the tight ends are as valuable as receivers and offenses are being built around them narrative. John brown would be a top 5 paid tight end based on his salary. Is anyone talking about building an offense around him? Guys like Kelce are most effective when you have other weapons pulling the premiere coverage guys off them and they get stuck matches up against a LB. that isn’t building your offense around someone, that’s having an elite role player.

You get a call for a big raise, you would talk to them.

No one wants you ray ray. as a 6th rounder what did you do to improve your stock enough to be worth more despite a year less on your deal now?

You like to get high don’t you

To be fair, I’d argue it’s few and far between on guys that give their all. It’s shades of grey not black and white with effort

Or maybe he had modest offers and thought he could play into a better one

Cutting and trading everyone creating a cap disaster and then having it clear because you didn’t spend for a year is the easy part that anyone could do. Going forward is the actual challenge.

Do you really though?

Did you also cry when they cancelled?

And in the meantime- solid depth. This is is the phase where we can have a legion of boom, Marshawn Lynch, multiple pass rushers and still make a dumb trade for Percy Harvin just for a super bowl kick return. or look at those 9ers teams around kaepernick if these 6 guys give us 3 starters and 2 backups we actually have a strong line all season. Top 10 pass rusher and day two picks at WR and RB and we will be pretty stacked and have depth at key spots What I mean is this in no way precludes addressing them.

We still have sooooo many resources to use. Don’t be scared John. We can actually build a real team. You don’t have to pretend to like jokers like you normally do ?

Right but at a 35% discount on the annual rate, I’m near positive he’d be all about really tying himself up for what amounts to his 2 biggest contracts rolled into one bargain basement deal.

I read a few other teams boards with some regularity and can’t say I can think of another fan base that mentions money to sign the rookies even 50% as much as here just an interesting anecdote that I’ve noticed

People here were outraged about him getting in

You must be rich betting the over on the bills every year

Hi joe. i don’t think it’s a fake pic in the sense that it’s totally fabricated but I do think you did something with it to touch it up and it really looks fake now

You missed that his penthouse was a modest apartment in a transitional neighborhood

Thanks for doing this! If if you cut the old guys what does it look like for the modern Nfl?
