Yes, please. Is Jewell available?  Or are we just anticipating Denver will cut more guys to get under the cap...?

There are a couple key trades you just gotta make too.

 

 

I'm pretty sure we could stand to gain from utilizing the transfer portal better as well. I don't understand it but I'm sure it would give us a leg up on the competition.

And wheres my new Jumbo-tron?

I get the vibe from Keim that there will be a number of one year painless type of contracts so their cap situation remains strong. Nothing that gets in the way of building in the draft.

 

He even talked @Koolblue13 about T. Smith.  He didn't say he's a target but seemed to imply if it was a 1 year contract maybe.

OMG are people advocating using BOTH means to rebuild a team with 20 players on it's roster? That's just crazy.

Create a bunch of natural openings that give rise to opportunities for Draft picks.

 

Ertz is the first example of that. Hopefully we can snag a TE w/ some upside late in the draft and let him develop behind E w/ the plan to usurp next season.

What’s with all the safety cuts? Looks like a really soft market now. Also, Chris Jones? What would a 4-3 look like with Allen, Payne, Jones + rush end

I can see Peters trading down in the 2nd and 3rd and ending up with something like this:  2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 4th, 5th.

Was an ILB I would have like to see us sign.  Oh well.  FA knows to stay with winning teams.

I’m totally on board with using every method necessary.  What I find amusing is before FA the board has a “don’t spend money on big name FAs, draft!” And then FA hits and it’s “OMG WE DIDN’T SIGN EVERY FA!!!!” Then 5 days later it’s back to “Draft first!!!”

 

Totally schizophrenic. 
 

And I’m here for it.

I guess that I haven't noticed it the same way. I see most people saying to use FA to fill most of the roster and grab some really good player and then draft as many good players as you can..

 

Me, II've been pretty consistent in wanting to get some great defensive players in FA and use the draft mostly for offense. 

 

Although it's starting to look like it might need to go the other way. 

 

But I haven't seen anyone say one or the other. I have seen people be excited about both at different times, though.

I am really glad that we're not in the guard market, assuming that one of Strom, Wylie, Daniels or Paul can start at LG. 

 

I am very glad to be in the LBer and safety market, because that looks great for us.

He's moderating this board but I don't think he likes being called Jumbo-tron.

SIP, myself, and others were ridiculed for arguing that he was keeping the FO on a budget (separate from how bad they were on their own as well). We tried to explain that there was wiggle room to the salary cap floor over multiple years and that it added up and effected decision-making. We said he was asset rich and cash poor, and that it would eventually put the squeeze on him. People like to pretend that was a commonly accepted idea at the time, leading up to the sale, but it wasn’t. People scoffed at the idea that a billionaire could actually be broke in terms of poor liquidity. 
 

Of course, we were also ridiculed for arguing that Snyder was indeed moving closer and closer to selling, and that it was not only possible but eventually inevitable.

[Stadium-Armory]

Is Ertz actually signed or am I seeing sloppy reporting everywhere? I thought free agency opens on the 13th and assume he's "agreed to terms" (and not inked).
