NFL 2018 Free Agency Thread

[Milk Steak]

I was surprised you didn't go after him last season. Probably make the playoffs if you did.

I think they had higher expectations of what Abdullah was going to offer. Turns out he’s mainly poo with the odd flash of talent.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

I thought he wanted to go to a contender?

Ins: Mathieu, Watt, Mercilus & Watson

Could be No.1 defence AND offence!

Great signing.

 

[Monocle]

The Honey Badger is a good get for the Texans.

A strong D just got stronger.

There is a few that I like that should be around the mark. A young edge rusher is a need but we do have Daeshon Hall who could develop. The Secondary needs attention now as we need a few starters.

I just posted this on another forum, when was the last time under Rivera we invested high draft picks or big free agent money into the secondary? I can't think of a time.

Think of the safety's; Mike Mitchell (cut by Oakland) Kurt Coleman (was playing special teams for the Chiefs before we signed him), Mike Adams, Charles Tillman is the biggest name i can think of and we got him for penny's on a one year loan.

Before James Bradberry in 2016, 2009 was the last time we used a 2nd round pick or better on any position in the secondary.

The good news being looking back over Hurney's previous reign he valued CBs and S's much more than Gentleman, took quite a few in the 2nd and 3rd round and used our first round pick in 2004 on Chris Gamble who was a nice CB and would have had an even better career if not for being plagued by injuries.

Hurney has found success for us picking in the mid to late 20's, those picks being Gamble, DeAngelo Williams and Jon Beason. For all his free agency idiocy in the past, surprisingly he hasn't missed on a first round pick for us... EVER. (seriously, not one miss, hell of a draft record in round 1)

Great signing.

Watt for 3 snaps before he break something, Watson an athletic QB coming off a knee injury might never be close to what he was.

the best they could be is a contender for a WC spot.

How many beers have you had today mate?

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Pugh to Cardinals.

Ballard lets another get by him.

How you have 77 million in cap, sign no one and can't even bring your own players back is beyond me.

 

[drd23]

Not bad for only one's work

Must be saving all his chips for a bid on Nadomican Suh.

For a team with a big purse to spend Ballard really had done SFA this trade period.

Nah. I'm sure he'll let Suh go to the Titans, Jags or Texans.

Aiming to be competitive in the division.

I really hope Luck isn't right to play week 1 because he won't be playing week 2 if he is.

I thought you were a Pats fan?!?!

 

[drd23]

Pugh to Cardinals.

For a fair chuck of change too

I wonder if this increases the chances of the Giants either trading down from #2 or sticking and taking Nelson

 

[fuey]

Yeah, if only your QB had a team.

He's so good he doesn't need one to win the division...

Yeah. The money being thrown around for some of these guys is pretty crazy this year.

Well we were the No. 1 offence during Watson’s hot run and No 1 D when TJ last had a good run. To now add one of the best DBs in the league has also got to help.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I thought you were a Pats fan?!?!

He's Tom's #1 fan, what confuses me is the complete lack of respect he gives another all time great in Julius Peppers, 11 sacks last year, more sacks at 38yo than the other player Baz goes giggly **** for in, Jadeveon Clowney, has ever had during his career. Here's to the number #1 pick in his 5th year beating the 39 yo this year.

Obviously Julius needs some Pep vs Time and son tongue action to a get similar level respect for the output he is producing in the twighlight of his career.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Watt for 3 snaps before he break something, Watson an athletic QB coming off a knee injury might never be close to what he was.

Yeah for sure, but can only go on IF we had a full team.

I mean will those two plates and 13 screws effect the great Aaron Rodgers? Will he come back the same? Looked mighty rusty in that comeback game, but hey look I’m sure he’ll come good...hopefully

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I like the signing but #1 offense? what is your run game? How does Watson come back? Can Fuller step up and be a legit #2WR?

Too many questions for me to be proclaiming that just yet.

Gees A11 didn’t mean to upset you about Julius, was terrific during his peak, but you know torn labrum, that’s nasty at his age. Certainly worth another part time year.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Pepp's mrs should get more attention than Gizelle does also. similar horse face but my god #datass

Im super duper defensive of anyone who critiques Pepp or Smitty as anything but great

Well it was only 5 weeks but we were lighting it up. Fuller had something like 6-7 TDs in 4 game period! Miller and Foreman were working well in tandem and now we have some better help on OL.

How does Watson come back? Well that’s the big question. If he does don’t see why we can’t contend. Not exactly scary AFC teams.

Why even bother coming back another year

Oh i think you will make the playoffs and contend. Just pump the brakes on the #1 offense.

Like a lot of others I’m going to be stepping off the bandwagon now. It’s over.
Jimmy G will haunt them for years.
