We will have to agree to disagree like we have the past 15 years...LOL

If you think we will be SB contenders in 2 years, wow. Our roster is worst than you think. But you are entitled to your opinion. But we literally won 3 games last year...let that sink in. We also have no clue what we have in a QB.

The Chiefs did what I am advocating in 2018 and 2019. I am simply saying to do what they did and they just won the SB so it does work. A good bit of their team was FA. You can see the FA they brought in and look it up. They had a solid draft base obviously but were very active in FA and it paid off.

I doubt the team will take a smart approach. I was against the McNabb trade, signing Haynesworth, drafting Doctson, hiring Zorn, etc. The team would not be in the mess they are if had listened to my suggestions. I have been wrong obviously (trading up for RG3m signing Randle El and Lloyd) but I have generally been right.
What FAs did they splurge on ?

SkinsDad, you can look it up sir. But this is what I show:

2018 = Sammy Watkins (48 million). Anthony Hitchens (45 million)
2019 = Tyrann Mathieu (42 million) Alex Okafor (24 million)

The also has several depth FA signings that you can do more research on.

How about two from our team?
1. Austin Reiter (center)
2. Breshad Breeland (corner)

They got Fuller through trade.

Point is there's simply no single way to build a championship team. More often than not it's how players "fit" a system and coalesce as a team, rather than their path to become a member.

I agree. I was called out saying that you don't win a SB by slurging in FA. The chiefs have been reasonable but have also slurged in FA as well as I showed above.

I must think we are worse than most fans on here because I think we should bring in about 5 FA starters this offseason. We need an infusion of talent and shot in the arm. Every expert as well as non-Skins fan know how awful this roster is.

I think we can bring in cheap free agents as well as expenisve ones as well. I really think we need to stockpile picks this draft by trade downs and get as much talent as quickly as we can. The good news is that it should not be that hard!

We have an awful roster so upgrading is easy!

I don’t see a winning team signing FAs as splurging . I see 3-13 teams signing high priced FAs as splurging

now none of those contracts are fully guaranteed hence only guaranteed money is truly the cost and in fact Watkins is being asked to take a pay cut or he will be gone

now we may have 60 mil plus to spend however spending all of it to go 6-8 wins is dumb at this point

Did they win with those players? Or did they win with Patrick Mahommes, Travis Kelce, and Tyreek Hill?

I'm with you man! If the mantra from this time period forward isn't upgrade, upgrade, upgrade then nothing has changed.

Less the 1/2, of FAs work out. I think we should be very frugal with our cap

Let him go and get the 3 td round comp pick if you are reasonable in FA

If Trent is a 20M LT, then his trade value is at least a first round selection.
I'm not sure that he will command 20M as a free agent.

Are you going to give up a 1st round pick for a guy that might be a one year pick?

If cannot work something out with Trent, we have to trade him. We can't lose him and get nothing back if he simply plays out the contract.

IF we have to replace TW, we MUST draft a LT. There are no FA LT worth the money. If we draft a LT, I honestl feel that we must trade back and take a LT with a 1st round pick. LT is critical to Haskins development and confidence.

The 2 best friends of a young QB are blindside Tackle and TE. We have neither currently.
