The 2019 NFL Free Agency/Trade Thread

[Across The Field]

Alright, now that we're done with that mess, let's talk about interesting things.

 

[Across The Field]

My guess is Le'Veon winds up in Houston. He doesn't get the Todd Gurley guaranteed money, but he gets the second most right behind him.

 

[Across The Field]

AB winds up in San Fran, but a solid darkhorse would be NYJ.

 

[Balljim55]

Which teams start the year with a new QB?

High Probability
Miami
Jacksonville
Ravens (figuring Flacco started the year in '18)
Washington

Possibility
Cincinnati
Denver

Maybe but doubtful
Giants (They draft a 1st rounder but Eli starts the year)
Carolina (Depending on Cam's Shoulder)
Tampa
Tennessee
Raiders
Philly (Based on Wentz starting the year in '18)

Actually wouldn't be surprised if the Panthers make a play for him. That team needs to basically hit the playoffs next year or there's going to be mass firings. They have quite a bit of cap too to get it done and when a RB is your leading receiver with not even 1,000 yards... woof.

Popular choice is the 49ers. That org appears far more stable than the Jets and they have the 7th most cap space.

That's an interesting scenario honestly, but I haven't heard their name come up once. Plus what assets to they have to trade?

Don't think the Panthers have any interest at all in AB. They are pretty happy with their starting receivers. They need O-line help so that Cam has time to get it to the WR's
CMac's leading the team in receptions was more of a function of Scheme and his abilities.

San Fran name keeps coming up because of Kittle's tweets and comments from.Jerry Rice but the team could add a player at every position on defense I doubt they want to commit that much to a wide receiver

Don't they have a good amount of cap space? I feel like they could load up on defense and still add AB.

They do. But cap space can disappear quickly. They are also going to want to extend Buckner and a couple others

I can see that, but I think AB might bring more to the team than several of those others could.

I would guess Indy, but agree for less than he hoped.

as a Browns' fan you should know what we hear doesn't really matter. No one seemed sure about Baker until right before the draft, while what we heard was more Darnold, or even Allen.

And, of course, who can forget the flurry of trades for Randall, Landry and Taylor which no one had reported.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

My guess is the the Chiefs take care of their RFA's of note, let Morse and Nelson walk. Tag Ford, attempt to restructure Houston, extend Hill. If they are successful with all of the above, possibly get Jones done as well.

 

[dtgold88]

I wont be upset if Dorsey does not sign a superstar FA or trade for one, but I don't buy him saying they wont. The time to do this is now when you have your QB on his rookie deal.

Oh sure, but those weren't major blockbusters like what AB would be. Plus Dorsey is notorious for keeping his decisions close to his vest.

agreed, though while not on AB level, Landry is a stud.

I've gotta admit, I hope to see more from him in 2019. The first year in a new organization with new coaches, not to mention working with two OCs and two QBs, isn't easy, but I wasn't overwhelmed by any means. His catch % has got to go up (81 catches on 149 targets), and I think it will. It's one of the reasons I really don't care about us going after a WR early in the draft or needing to go after any in FA.

It did go from 94 targets/49 receptions first 8 games with Haley (and TT 2 games) to 55/32 with Kitchens

I definitely wouldn't take a WR at 17. Maybe FA, trade or for all we know Dorsey thinks Callaway can be a stud.

I would have 0 issues with our WRs being Landry, Higgins, Calloway, and Perriman. I would like another TE in the draft, but otherwise the skill positions are set.
