That is legit infuriating. Only jutification Reid could give for keeping Sutton around was he didn't have good enough talent, and so far we've arguably gone backwards in that regard.

There are still some cuts that can be made if Veach wants more cap room. I still don't get Zombo being here. If they go for a guy like Richardson, you can cut Bailey.

That would be so freakin awesome!

Apparently we offered Wilkerson a 1-year deal for $5M, so maybe they are willing to spend that much on this year's cap. :shrug:

You used to beat off to Polian.

He's a senile **** these days..

Jordy Nelson is better than Sammy Watkins according to him.

Eric Reid and Sheldon Richardson would add some nasty here. Do it.

They don't have the money for both. Maybe not even one.

Hope so. As it stands right now we haven't got much more than a whole bunch of what ifs on our defense.

Sure they do.

Don't see how. $18.4M in space after you take Hitchens deal and the draft pool into account. Jenkins and Sherman are going to combine for close to $4M. Watkins is going to be at least $10M.

I agree. Best they can hope for with this current crew is that you build enough leads to let them just pin their ears back and rush the passer.

Again, I think they have a decent foundation in place with Houston/EB/Fuller/Ragland/Jones/Hitchens, but if they added another stout veteran I would actually like our defense. Nelson, KPass, Amerson and Ford all could be decent too.

After failing to find a trade partner for him, Lions are releasing former first-round pick Eric Ebron, per source. Another TE hits the market.

Even if every player in that grouping meets/exceeds expectations, we've still got a gaping chasm for a D Line, and our last 2 playoff games are proof enough that we need to address that shit right ****ing now.

Yeah. Hope they sign and draft someone.

This defense won’t be rebuilt in one off-season. It’ll take this year and next

Also true.

Need to hope that the offense can help to make them look better this year.

Just makes me not like the Watkins signing as much if it takes away the ability to fix that hot mess.

Who knows though, they could draft a S, CB, and DL on day two and the defense might look much better from that alone.

We need 2 starters on the D Line, not just 1.

43 mins to see if they keep Ford

Would rather use that money to make the offense one of the best (which could in turn help the defense too) than to spend it on some of the defensive FAs we’ve been seeing. Just not a great market on that side of the football.

We’ll surely get some young, fast, aggressive guys in the draft there.

Damn I remember when CP was gushing over this guy lol.

You Nancy's need to stop with all the hand wringing. The salary cap will not be a hindrance if they find an upgrade they really want to make. There's still plenty if dead weight that can be shed if they decide they need a few million more.

LMAO Saints signed Ebron almost immediately.

I’m betting they will trade up in the second round to take one of the first round graded CBS that drop. I’m hoping Josh Jackson falls.

Lions took Ebron over OBJ and Aaron Donald.

I’d almost bet there’s a 0 chance that happens. More likely Jaire Alexander is a target

Former Jets linebacker Demario Davis expected to sign with the New Orleans Saints per source. Deal is 3 years, $24 million, $18 million in guaranteed

CPs Adam Schefter is crushing it today :)

How did Donte Moncrief get $10 million per?

I thought he only got 7m for a year, which is still too goddamn much.

Punter Kevin Huber back to the Bengals on a three-year deal, source says. Had talked to the Bears.

Supply and demand is making some of these GMs make crazy moves.

If the draft had a nice group of WRs, Moncrief and Watkins don’t get as much $ as they did.

I saw a La Canfora tweet that said $10 million.

Either way, anything over $5 million is way too much because the dude has been unable to stay healthy and even then, he's only averaged 35 yards per game.

The Browns keep on keeping on: The team will sign cornerback T.J. Carrie from Oakland, according to a league source. Details not yet available. He's the second cornerback who agreed to sign today. espn.com/espn/now?nowId…

Jacksonville apparently thinks overpaying some alright dudes will put them over the top.

Stole him out from under Denver...

He's a quality grab.

Dolphins | Ndamukong Suh no longer a Dolphin
Wed, 14 Mar 2018 12:34:17 -0700

Miami Dolphins DT Ndamukong Suh is being released Wednesday, March 14, as the Dolphins could not find a trade partner prior to the start of the new league year.

Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter

#Browns and former #Raiders CB T.J. Carrie agreed on a 4-year, $31m deal ($7.75m APY). Includes $10m fully gtd at signing.


Dorsey spending

Jags are signing former Redskins TE Niles Paul, source says

Cut every sorenson/Bailey type player and GO GET THAT MAN.

Rumor is the Raiders are working on a trade for Burfict

Chris Renkel CBS 42
@Chris_Renkel
Source: Oakland Raiders are working to trade for Cincinnati Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict.

Bengals just signed Burfict to a 3 year $38 mill extension last season.
3:25 PM - Mar 14, 2018

Ford isn't getting cut, Veach said this weeks ago.

Some real erections around here for SUh.


Meh.

Link? I’ll look

Burfict would be a great Raider.

Chiefs sign Suh and it’s like 1960s bad blood all over again LMAO

Thanks I found it

Ravens would like to add more pass catchers to their offense. Not done checking out options. TE Eric Ebron is on their radar

What time does free agency actually start? Bet Schefter rolls off like 30 deals

4 EST

5 minutes.

Bill Polian thinks he's smarter than Adam Schefter...

I wonder if Richardson really doesn't have much of a market...

Jon Gruden really does want to go back to 1998 when Oakland kills themselves and loses games by dumbass mistakes. Good luck with Burfict

**** I really don’t want the Raiders to get Burfict

His Raider teams were actually pretty disciplined.

But who knows I know some people think the game has passed him by.

It’s a decent haul this year but this team won’t seriously contend until they get this defense up to par.

You guys are idiots that's a great move by the Raiders. Picking up a guy with straight line speed that'd make Josh Mauga blush to contain our high octane passing offense.

Yeah, Burfict is going to keep up with Watkins and Hill.

You need a new sarcasm meter.

They just want to have him try to injure everyone.

Denver signed a scab corner and resigned their slow ass ILB Todd Davis to go with their other slow ass ILB Brandon Marshall.

We’re going to rape that defense

So updated 2018 cap hits:

Hitchens - $3.6 million
Watkins - $8 million

Goddamn we still have plenty of money. I believe $16 million

we have room boys for one more big signing or two mediocre signings

Wow, that's badass

Veach still has to get someone for the nose.

Yeah, we know they made the same offer to Wilkerson the Pack did, so they're looking.

Wonder what or who?

Where are you seeing the $8 million cap hit on Watkins, Pest?
