Yeah, I think it's possible, and who knows, Veach is often aggressive as hell, but what it SEEMS they're doing is planning to spread the money around. I don't think you'll see a big splash unless you feel Reid is a big splash, I think he's kind of borderline as a big splash. I think he's probably an upgrade to 2021 Mathieu. At any rate, he's younger, bigger, and faster (and cheaper than what Mathieu THOUGHT he was worth, if not what he'll end up getting.)
I really think you're going to see a blending of high draft picks and crusty old vets on their last hurrah trying to get a ring at the highest paid positions. More Ingrams and Suggs types and less high dollar FA's.
I'd take Patrick Peterson on the cheap for a year. Stuff like that. (But only on the cheap. If he thinks he's getting a big contract, he can **** off.) |
Agree.
I'm not expecting any big trades or FA signings. Veach is always looking at former 1st round picks that might be available, especially at positions of need. I could see a move for a guy like K'Lavon Chaisson, or a young WR still on a rookie contract, but DK Metcalf isn't coming. And lets be honest, if that guy is going to be on the move, I bet Green Bay would out bid us because Rogers has absolutely nothing.
Look at how the last draft set us up on the Oline. We are paying or about to pay REAL money to two players, Brown and Thuney. That's easily doable when you have Smith and Humphries on rookie contracts for the next 3 years. When its time to pay them, Thuney will be off the books. It's a great set up. Look at how the draft has allowed the Chiefs to rebuild the LB core. Those guys are young and good and cost nothing.
I don't think Veach takes 12 guys in this draft, but I do think its possible to see how you can put 6-8 guys on this roster that would go a long way in stabilizing the roster while helping us deal with the cap.
I'd love it if we came out of the draft with 2 DEs, 1 DT, 2 WR, 1LB, 1S, and either as RB or RT prospect. All of that can fit on the current roster.
