Free Agency Day Two

[Guest]

Shaq Mason for a 5th rounder is theft and annoys me. Dude is a stud OL and still has two years left on his friendly contract. Seems like Bill threw Tom a bone here

Breaking: Former #Bills CB Levi Wallace has agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh #Steelers on a 2-yr deal worth $8M, per sources.

maybe you better leave KAM the number to Gladneys agent next time you call,  we might end up that desperate.

Voice mail is full.

That fucker.

Is he bringing Chandler Jones with him?

I have no clue what analytics led to this decision but an average LB for 5M per year when you are tight against the cap and need to sign some cornerbacks too?

You can get a Nick Vigil who had a better coverage grade (if you believe in the PFF grades) than Hicks.  

I mean, I guess it is OK but what about Dye and Surratt?

Shaq Mason (the #4 rated guard last year) goes for a 5th and has salaries of 6.5 and 7.5M the next two years and Kwesi could not get in on that action?  Would not surprise me if he had no clue about it to be honest.  Many other GMs probably did not either though.

Still, if you are going to continue to give Kirk freakin Cousins money, then why not give him the most best protection possible so that he does not have to move (he already barely moves).

I guess more moves are coming or they will draft a guard early.

I would have tried to sign a guard and draft a LB early.

Hard to get aggressive in FA when you dont have your cap figured out when FA starts.  I am sure they will field some sort of team but this is so Vikingesque to get the fans excited and then.........

Not a great start to free agency when IMO they lost on the Cousins extension, are essentially swapping Pierce for Phillips, and the other marquee signing is a MLB when they just drafted Surratt last year in the 3rd round. Somebody wake me when the Wallstreet dynamo does something to improve the roster.

LB Josey Jewell back to the Broncos for a two-year, $11-million deal, per source.

Damnit. Maybe when we figure Thielen and Hunter we will get Bobby Wagner? Speak it into existence?

Screw that.  Old broken players go to Seattle from MN, not the other way around.

The Arizona Cardinals drafted LBs with back to back 1st round picks and Jordan Hicks still earned a starting role in 2021. He played a big role in their defensive resurgence and even had a good relationship w/ Simmons & Collins

Sounds like Kwesi brought in another CULTURE
