remembersthegoodtime Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 2018 free agent class is absolutely horrible. Star- played on skates Sunday. Gaines- worse defensive player on field ( other than star) Murphy- few snaps McCarron- on other team Davis- inactive Bodine-back up Newhouse- backup Ivory- overpaid backup No faith in us having 80 million in cap space, just more ways to screw it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because those free agents cost sooooooo much With the exception of Star the rest of those guys are peanuts players.....and have 80 million (which could be more like 100 million if certain high priced aging vets are let go) would allow us to compete for the bigger fish. Not that it really matters....because teams are biult through the draft with free agents sprinkled in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea who the higher priced guys are that they can let go to get an even higher cap number in 2019? I am just asking because wouldn't releasing some of these guys be a cap hit in themselves?

Juice_32 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Star played very well on Sunday. I do not understand the narrative on him. He was constantly doubled and still got a great push. Did you watch him every play? I went back and did and you are incorrect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Newhouse and Ivory were signed to be backups. Bodine was signed as a backup with a chance to start. Star didn't play bad. Did you see Milano and Edmunds flying all over making plays? They don't do that if Star isn't doing his job. Murphy was on a snap count coming off injury...ya know ease him back a bit so he doesn't get hurt again. AJ is gone...but we do have something to show for it in a 5th rounder. Excellent throw in pick to trade up a few spots and grab a player we covet. The CBs, well I wasn't a fan of either signing. Can't win em all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman1876 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 So they signed backups and they played like backups. Star played well, especially considering he is the 40th highest paid D lineman in the league. Pretty good value there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Perhaps this board needs a restriction on creating new threads if your account is less than X months old or something. And yeah, after rewatching some of the game I'm in the "Star played well" camp also. I think it's too late for that though, he's already been labeled the whipping boy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are spot on there, I would love to see some limits on letting some of these fools start new threads constantly that are designed specifically for attention and trying to start drama. I get it’s a message board but some of those guys are trash. Maybe every new thread should be passed to a mod to approve before it goes live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 The biggest disaster is that they signed three of those guys with the idea that they would be immediate starters and upgrades: Murphy, Lotulelei and Davis. Murphy and Davis have been total flops so far and Lotulelei and been average. They will have to do much, much better next season for this thing to get off the ground.

gjv001 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Compared to last season, we are doing poorly in selecting veteran free agents. Perhaps it's time to look at the people we have making veteran free agent evaluations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterRob Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 To be fair we had a lot of holes and not a lot of cap room to plug them with any degree of quality. The end of 2019 will give us a much better idea of how good current management is. Hopefully, a lot of this draft class will stick and they can take the next step with the 2019 draft class allowing us to use our FA dollars on fewer but higher quality FA's.

Jpsredemption Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 The excuse makers will find a way to say that these signings, while horrific, are apart of some master plan. And I guess we should trust these guys with all of that money next year? They had a chance with all of those draft picks to build this team..and look what they did with them. There is no plan.
