2024 Free agency and draft thread

Well yeah. They would have re-signed him if they had money. They are trying to lock up Tua with a clear budget

My bad.

Thought that Tweet had mentioned Miami.

He isn't worth that money to the Raiders. They have too many needs

He will get in that range though is my point.

 

[shopson67]

Seems appropriate IMO.

Seems appropriate IMO.

It's ok. More of a possession receiver but not to extent of a guy like Michael Thomas or Keenan Allen. Nothing special about the guy

This is the man that let Putin try on his Super Bowl ring. Not the most common sense.

Highest paid guard in NFL history.

This is the Eagles way. They find a guy who fits their culture and is a great player and they pay him early. They then use these stalwart lifers to be the focus of their restructures and kicking the cap can down the road in perpetuity. They have Mailota locked up now Dickerson. Now Hurts as well. These are big pieces they can use going forward to restructure and free up cap so they can take their chances on those one year guys at value.

Landon Dickerson was also the best Center prospect I've ever seen coming out of college. He just had medical concerns that haven't played out in the NFL. You have a great player that can play multiple oline positions then you pay him.

Puts him 14th in the league for 2024

Bengals should entertain that offer. To my knowledge, they can't pay him moving forward. 1st round pick is more valuable than 1 year of a star player.

 

[shopson67]

...which I'm guessing lowers his cap number in 2024

Cap hit for 2024 is $5.8M out of $84M/4.

Early second round as in possibly the Panthers?

Ah, the old Alvin Harper move. "Trade-for/sign another team's #2 WR and make him your #1 WR." I don't remember that tactic working very often (ever).

That would be fitting because IIRC he went #33 in his own draft. Arizona getting rid of their 2nd first and rolling with Marvin Harrison Jr and Tee Higgins would be intimidating.

They couldn't afford to lose him but yeah it's a bit of an overpay.

Tee Higgins would be really good for Young on the Panthers. He lacked a good receiver this past season.

 

[Pure Steel]

He’ll probably sign with the Colts…..
