Seeing what RBs are going for so far I have no interest in signing one any time soon. Some of these contracts are crazy. Sit back and take whoever is left in a few weeks for $2M per or just draft a guy in the firth round.
I was interested in Mooney, but also wouldn't have wanted him to be higher than #4 on the WR depth chart. That doesn't even include Kincaid etc who should also be seeing more targets than him. Obviously at this price it makes zero sense.
Just draft a guy in round 1 and find a cheapish vet to fill the #4/primary backup spot.
No brainer. Great move.
Now that's enough re-signing guys. Let everyone else go, not interested in bringing back anyone else. We need some fresh young faces on the d line and at WR.
I wonder if the Vikings showed any interest in Russ. From his standpoint, Minnesota would seem to be a much more attractive option than Pittsburgh.
Now Minnesota is left with a top WR duo, stud TE, and no QB.
This is fine. We need DB depth. Unlike Neal he can actually play, and costs less.
We now have a starting safety and a backup. Still needs another one of each.
While it was always a safe assumption that Gabe would be going elsewhere, there was a bit of anxiousness at the thought of Beane doing something stupid like re-signing him. I'm glad that's officially over.
Interested to see the details. 3 year extension takes him to age 34. Wonder how much is guaranteed.
That's a lot of dough. I don't mind extending him. Also wouldn't have minded letting play out his deal and walk next year.
It's a fine move, don't love or hate it.
