Not ideal but the reality is if Veach is going to keep this team as a contender he's going to have to draft well and fill in some of these spots. You can't stay afloat only through FA. It's too expensive and there's no guarantee you'll get the guys you want. [Reply]

Maybe player and agent are supposing salary cap is lower this year and new TV deals may improve chances for multiyear next year. [Reply]

This is becoming an every year thing.
If you aren’t getting an elite WR, why would you overpay anybody in free agency when the draft is constantly loaded with talent at the position? [Reply]

Pivot on to another option. Swing a trade etc
How often has spending big money on external big names worked for us recently?
Frank Clark? No
Sammy Watkins? No
Anthony Hitchens? No
Tyrann Mathieu has been our only major external FA addition that has been worth the money.
That’s an important lesson here. Load up on the Austin Reiter’s, Damien Wilson’s and Dan Sorenson types who just do their job effectively, look for lottery tickets like we did with Ward and Ogbah and then attack the draft. [Reply]

Schwartz was a great one.
But yeah, go looking for bargains. There’s plenty out there on the defensive side of the ball [Reply]

We WON A SUPERBOWL with those guys. All of them were very important to winning that SUPERBOWL!
Man I cant believe some of the stuff written here lately. [Reply]

Maybe this fall instead of watching a team that's apparently going to suck next season, you can spend your time almost burning down your apartment complex... [Reply]

That’s original, glad you’re able to think outside the box. [Reply]
