When they missed out on Williams, we all assumed we were going to be starting a rookie LT for weeks, then the Brown trade revealed everything.
Let things play out.
All of which costs additional draft capital they can ill-afford to spare as these cap issues aren't going away anytime soon.
They absolutely have to start rebuilding this defense through low-cost draft picks and value signings on veterans. Otherwise it will never be remotely sustainable.
And again, the options for the latter are dwindling. [Reply]

Understand why they will freak out they are just grasping at names. A guy like Jauan Jennings is better than pretty much anyone on the names you listed at this point. Those are the kinda moves Veach needs to make [Reply]
Feels like Veach has another major trade in the works. Danielle Hunter, Josh Allen, maybe even swinging for the fences in Chase Young? Fletcher Cox on the interior and then draft edge? [Reply]

I know they were $10M over as of this morning, and had to get under almost an hour ago.
'Agreeing to terms' doesn't mean anything. It's not even binding. That's how Gregory ended up flipping to the Broncos and McKissic went back to Washington. They 'agreed to terms' until they didn't. It's a handshake agreement essentially.
So no, they don't have to be under the cap for that sort of thing. [Reply]

So none of these deals are official until Friday?
Safe to assume the cap space would have to be available on Friday/day of signing though, correct? [Reply]

And maybe that is the plan. Actually that probably is the plan.

Reid was an A+ signing. Now they just need depth along the defensive line and possibly a WR2. All of these guys can be had after the first week. [Reply]
