All them signings apart from Sherff if franchised tagged will have a lower 2020 hit than there average cap figure per year. We could possibly sign Bradbury, Hooper and Flowers and there cap hit could be 20m for all 3 players this year.  

Absolutely, even more so this offseason with the expected surge in salary cap in subsequent years.

I wonder if they're still planning to pursue Byron Jones after this move.

Yeah Bouye is on big money.

 

Wonder how this reflects on Dunbars trade value?

I would think it lowers Dunbar's value.. Bouye is on a big money deal off a few pro bowls. Dunbar is a nobody who can't stay healthy and has one year of pff calling him good.

I don’t really think it changes anything to be honest. AJ’s deal has him making way too much money and has a zero dead cap hit if he’s cut. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up becoming a cap causality.

 

i also think most teams would rather have Dunbar at 8 mil a year than A.J. at 13.5

yeah I guess, if they're comfortable paying him a million dollars a game for the ones he's healthy for. 🤣

Honestly, 2018 was a tough year for injuries for him but I imagine last year he was IRed early like everyone else because the season was already done. If the team was still in the hunt I’m not sure he would have been shelved. Hamstrings need time to heel and I’m hoping third time’s the charm. If we do extend him, I’m hoping it’s very incentive-laden in terms of playing time.

Good to hear that Bostic will be back....I think he can play all 3 linebacker positions and if we can get Reuben Foster in the mix with Holcomb then we are set and have more than enough speed.

Foster can't even feel his feet anymore. His legs are worse than Reeds head. He's done. That's why Bostic.

[KDawg]

the same line backing corp from last season doesn’t fix our linebacker problem.

Is this true on Foster? You’ve mentioned this a few times, didn’t know this was an ongoing issue for him. With that said, I haven’t seen anything on his recovery.

He got feeling back in January.

Assume one of these guys is Flowers and the other BScherff

 

[rumplestilskin]

I am still holding out hope for Kareem Hunt, he would be far cheaper than Drake because of his past baggage but is a complete stud 3 down healthy back. Not sure Ron would want him but he, AP and DG would be a formidable stable.

Redskins’ Reuben Foster suffered nerve damage, just recently regained feeling in his foot

I wish him a full recovery

Says the guy who's in love with our core of underwhelming barely drafted TE squad.

Well, that’s half true. I’m on record saying Hentges can develop, but ideally he’d be a 2. I’m just not in love with the tight end options for the cost. That has more to do with it than my comfortability level with our tight ends. And I think that lack of good options is a good thing for Hentges to show what he can do.

 

There ARE options at backer. In the draft and in free agency. 

 

The only option in FA is Hooper. Who I am coming around on having watched more of him on YouTube. But he comes with a hefty price tag. Team's will bid high on him. And I'm not sure he's worth gigantic money. But I'd take Hooper as a player, with Hentges as the 2.

 

Even better would be Hooper + Claypool as the split out Y/up back/sometimes receiver + Hentges + Sprinkle with McLaurin/Cooper/Harmon/Sims at receiver.

[Skinsinparadise]

 

 

[Skinsinparadise]

Hooper won't be easy, a bunch of teams seem ready to make a run, tough for him to turn down Aaron Rodgers I presume everything being equal.

 

 

 

[KDawg]

Agreed. And with Henry being tagged there’s no real viable TE option in free agency. Ebron is a receiver who likes to drop every other pass. Jacob Hollister is a lesser heralded name that I don’t think I’d mind coming in, but I’m not sold is that much of an upgrade. Though he would be an upgrade at some level. 
 

We could trade for one... but trade what?

Feels like Hooper or bust.  I am not as concerned with overpaying a dude 2 million or so when its a major position of weakness with little other options on the table.  So i am not in the if its 11 million or so for Hooper than I am out crowd.

 

I actually hate more overpaying for mediocre players in FA.  Giving lets say 6 million a year to a dude who deserves 3 million.  That's been the Bruce Allen "special" as to approach to FA.    Maybe Tyler Eifert, but he seems always hurt.  Oddly enough Jason Witten might be the next best, his numbers were decent last year but he's an old, 1 year fix at best.  Ebron has the reputation of playing soft sometimes and not being the best blocker.

 

I am higher than most on some of the possibilities in the draft at TE.   FA feels like Hooper or bust.
