We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.
Got the full numbers on the Mitch Morse deal with the #Bills and it’s a whopper: four years, $44.5 million with $26.5 million guaranteed. He gets $19.5M in Year 1 and $28.375M by Year 2. The $11.125M APY is the new bar for centers. https://t.co/mLPGMVzhTN

:-) TL;DR at the bottom. Rosenhaus and Brown are assholes.
Brown’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, spoke to Rich Eisen recently to discuss the trade that he helped iron out with his client to send him to the Oakland Raiders, a deal a part of which was to renegotiate his contract to include both a pay raise and the guaranteeing of the majority of his contract.
With Brown having three years left on his deal, he had just under $39 million in total cash left on the books for 2019-2021. According to reports, the Raiders upped that to $50.125 million, making $30 million of that guaranteed. He went from averaging $17 million per season to just under $20 million over the total life of the four-year extension.
Rosenhaus that the trade status reached a point on Friday in which the Steelers and Raiders had agreed to a level of compensation between the two parties, whereafter it was turned over to himself and his client to negotiate with Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock to alter his contract.
“They knew, like every other team in the league, that we sought a revised contract”, Rosenhaus told Eisen. “We wanted to make sure that Antonio, for the rest of his contract, would be the highest paid receiver in the league and that that was something that needed to be addressed”.
While he acknowledged later in the interview that the previous extension he already signed a couple of years ago had made him the highest-paid wide receiver at the time, he also said that his client had continued to outplay his contract. And also implied that if he were not paid accordingly, problems would persist. [Reply]
I like that the Raiders said they weren't going to be butt fucked by an agent last season, but gladly let an exceptionally slimy one buttfuck them this week. [Reply]
Gruden and Mayock are goddamned fools. Signings like this just crank up the spotlight on it for the whole world to see.
First, who the fuck is going to be passing the ball to him? Carr? Rookie? Why would you put the cart before the horse like this? You'll notice the Chiefs didn't go out and pay premium receivers for Alex Smith. There's a REASON for that. Talent begets talent. And the Faid have no QB talent.
This is dumb as fuck. And Mike Mayock is a goddamned idiot and has been for a very, very long time. [Reply]

They are in an exceptional penny-pinching mode right now.
Wouldn't pay Bouye, wouldn't pay KJ, were reluctant to pay HB, wouldn't pay the only good OL they had and traded him yo Seattle and they're being reluctant about paying Clowney.
