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.
I’m gonna have a major problem with this franchise if they do wind up trading for and extending Clark but allow Hill to go in a year or two out of fear for his own potential issues.
I only say this because I find it hard to believe that they would ever give Mahomes, Jones, Hill, AND Clark massive extensions on top of what HB is also already making.
Mahomes, Hill, and Jones are the types of unique talents that can legitimately win games by themselves at times... I don’t think Clark fits into that category. I know he doesn’t.
Great player, but not a ‘unicorn’ like those other three. [Reply]
As it stands now....we'll have $31 million in cap space after Berry is gone June 1st. We're scheduled to have roughly $58 million in 2020 before any new contracts or cuts.
If Hill is re-signed.....then Watkins is pretty much gone which saves us $14 million. After this year....I don't see anyway that they're both on this team after Hill's new deal.
Jones will get a new deal but we have cap space for that.
Players that you can cut after this season:
Sorenson - $3.75 million in savings
Erving - $3.25 million in savings [Reply]
I know you can't truly judge a draft until 2-3 years later, but it sure does feel good after draft weekend when most draft pundits are giving you an A grade and gushing about the talent you added. It would be nice to have that happen instead of having to do anything possible to convince ourselves we added some good players. [Reply]
If we’re looking to spend 20m and a first for Clark, I’d much rather spend less than that much $ on Ansah or Suh and trade up for a guy like Ferrell or trade back and nab someone if it’s gonna cost too much to move up.
Clark is good, but he’s not great.
Let it go, Veach...unless Clark will sign for something similar to what Ford got in terms of structure. [Reply]

I agree. AND, while I know everyone's sick of the Patriots way talk, you can use their blueprint for how to sustain a dynasty in the salary-cap age. That is, you pay your star QB. You pay your UNIQUE talents. You let the rest walk when they get too expensive. You draft well, you plug and play cheap vets. [Reply]

The pundits don't know fuck-all.
Mahomes was a reach. Kareem Hunt was a special teamer. Kelce was a project. Chris Jones was a reach.
