Wait til the last ones sign and we compare deals. They might not be as good as LC, but the value will be a lot more. This is how you sign McClain and McGee in free agency. I don't want Bruce shopping in the bargain bins in free agency ever again, either pay for quality or skip the whole thing and just use the draft and then go UDFA to fill the roster.

TheBlueIndian Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Redpocalypse I say ! Damn you Bruce Allen ! Serial overpayer ! Chill out we dont have the deets yet and more often than not they break in our direction. Collins was a solid add to continue building a strong D and we didn't get stuck in a bidding war with the other suitors. Time will tell. Years of being a fledgling franchise have eroded the fanbase into a bunch of whining ninnies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which will be really, really, really, really tough now... Huh? Extending Scherff will be easy. Standard backloaded deal with prorated bonus and a low cap figure for the first couple years.

NOT extending him is hard. Unless you don't plan on building with him, he's the absolute easiest to extend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 15 minutes ago, Art said: Problem is ZaDarius Smith is Preston Smith. Why not just keep Preston as ZaDarius will get more because he is coming off a better year. They are essentially the same player, except Preston has generally been better. Personally I think Preston is a huge weakness for us in the defense we run and am fine with him leaving and us NOT looking at Zadarius. I'd actually probably prefer Brandon Copeland, if you want a guy you won't ever rush with, who MIGHT be better in the flat but with some upside, or a low-ball effort at Houston, if you want a guy with top-end rush possibilities. You just can't have Kerrigan and a guy almost exactly like Kerrigan at the other side and expect not to get eaten alive by backs or tight ends in the flat, as we are always. And no one seems to want to listen to me and simply run a 4-3 with Kerrigan and Smith at end and win the whole world :). I was envisaging that ZaDarius would come 'cheaper' or should I say 'less expensive' than Preston. Keen to see what they get now. GB looking there way I think. I suspect the draft could bring us a top end rush guy. As for Kerrigan, often wonder how many years he's got left in the tank. Would keep him here in 2019 though.

Part of me is fine with this. There was no way to save the WR core outside getting AB, this will force us to either address QB or trade down to do it way some of yall be begging for. We should not ignore high quality players that WANT to be here in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshSkinsFan Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 We can easily free up cap room and certainly will. would imagine the first year hit on LC will be on the lower end and once we get the Scherff extension worked out that will lower his number too. We clearly are looking to move Foster and Brown so that will clear more space and I would look for a restructure or two as they become needed, Norman being a prime candidate.

Warhead36 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Collins is a damn good football player but that's a lot of money for a Safety who doesn't take over games the way Reed or Polamalu did. We still need a cover safety because Collin is really more of an in the box guy. This is just the SnyderSkins MO all over again. Go big on a FA with name recognition to distract an angry fanbase.

Art Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 8 minutes ago, HigSkin said: Some GM's don't like it because of the $$ and for no other reason! So, Greg has no sources who've yet seen the contract because the contract has not been submitted and won't be. So he has ZERO sources who have told him it's nuts based on any actual evidence. And he has no sources who told him a team in need of a safety is nuts for signing a young, good safety. Thus you know the post is simply a guy wanting to be charming and failing. ONCE someone has viewed the contract, he can let us know he now has a source who says nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
