Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

Philip Lindsey is available. He'd be a nice addition even though we're not desperate for a RB.

I posted the same yesterday. At this point he'd be a luxury, but I can't help salivating at the options with Scary, Samuel, Gibson, Lindsay and Thomas on the field together. So many formation possibilities, so many pass play options, so many gadget play options... :)

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

He was so disrespected here by the Broncos. A local kid, grew up here, went to CU, all he did was come in and unexpectedly beat out Royce Freeman, posted two 1200+ yards from scrimmage seasons, and what do they do - sign Melvin Gordon...and now they let him walk.

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

Golladay has left the Bengals, Giants and Bears without signing. Now meeting with the Ravens and asking for $18.5 million a year...with his injury history.

Samuel was a better signing for us.

I wouldn’t be opposed to Lindsay. I’d like a stronger back behind Gibson. JD isn’t the guy who can take the load is Gibby goes down. RB is the most injured position in the league

JUJU stays in Pit

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

Here’s the interesting part on Steelers’ WR JuJu Smith-Schuster’s one-year deal with Pittsburgh: the Ravens made a hard push to sign him and he wound up taking significantly less money to go back to the Steelers, per sources.

JuJu probably wanted to play for a team that doesn't run as much as Ravens do.

Been wondering about that. Seems crazy, even if you don’t think of him as your workhorse. No pun intended.

That’s nucking futs. $18.5 mil?!?! His agent must be an idiot. No team is signing FA WRs for big money because of the cap issue and a deep college WR class. He’s going to find out in a bad way when he holds out for a big money contract that never comes. Maybe after the draft he’ll come to his senses and take a reasonable contract to hook up with Fitzy and co.

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

^^ He needs to take a 1 year deal, ball out and cash in next year

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

Golladay isn’t worth it...and apparently last season he had issues in Detroit

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

[quote=Chico23231;1279893]Golladay isn’t worth it...and apparently last season he had issues in Detroit[/quote]

Yes, injury issues.

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

Giants signed WR Kenny Golladay, formerly of the Lions, to a four-year, $72 million contract.
Golladay survived 24 hours worth of Joe Judge's wind sprints during his visit with the Giants before getting the long-term contract and guaranteed money ($40 million) he was aiming for.

40 million in guaranteed...18 per year.

Gettleman bit...he’s a good receiver, but he ain’t worth Allen Robinson or Cooper money

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

We will get more out of Samuel in 3, than the Midgets will get out of Golladay in 4.

No doubt he will make some plays, I just hope they aren't against us.

Agreed. His production won’t match his salary.

Love that signing ... pair Golladay with John Ross (missed 37 games in 4 seasons) and watch the Gmen sink to the bottom of the East.

Cowboys are who we need to worry about.

[quote=Giantone;1279943]Some people sound nervous............................[/quote]

I like Golladay. I think that's a solid signing. Time will tell.

I like Samuel for us as well.

Both signings can be good for their respective teams.

I love the signing, Giants massively overpaid, though Golladay will probably do some damage against us at times. They are trying to get their QB help to help his development.

Signing is very cap friendly in 22 and 23 .

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

Ehhh, honestly I think the NFCE is between us and the Giants. We seem to forget that Barkley will be coming back.

I don't know what to make of the Cowboys. They were DEVASTATED by injuries last year, and who knows how good Dak will be when he gets back. I imagine a decent bit less mobile. Ewok REALLY regressed last year (even with the offensive line in shambles). Their defense was alright, not great.

The Eagles will be a basement dweller once again. Hurts isn't going to be Lamar Jackson.

I think it's Washington 1a, NY 1b, Dallas 2 and Philadelphia...like 5?

Agreed. For NYG, I think it's all on Jones so if he plays well then NYG have a good chance of winning the division. WFT is pretty much in the same situation with Fitzpatrick.

I'm still in wait and see mode with Hurts - Eagles offense looked much better with Hurts than they were with Wentz.. It's now on the new coaches to maximize Hurts' talents.

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

I like Golladay but that's a lot of $$ for a guy with some injury concerns. Give me Samuel for $11.5 all day long.

Hurts is the Dollar Tree Lamar Jackson (and personally I think Jackson is a trash "passer"). Sure, he can run, great. I don't think that's going to win a ton of games for them.

I think our offense will progress a good bit this year and I think that's what held us back last year against the Giants. I still think we're an LB away from elite defense, but that can be had in the draft or FA (KJ WRIGHT PLEASE!). My optimism is through the roof for the first time in years, and not that fake-it-til-you-make-it I normally have! :D

As it stands right now, I love we have a full compliment of draft picks to bulk up our depth. Feeling VERY good about our direction.

[quote=MTK;1279967]I like Golladay but that's a lot of $$ for a guy with some injury concerns. Give me Samuel for $11.5 all day long.[/quote]

Agreed. Pro Bowl QB and Pro Bowl WR combined for 5-11.

Would I have rather the Giants NOT gotten him? Absolutely.

We ALSO just got a DB that blanketed his ass last time they played. :D

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

[QUOTE=Giantone;1279962]Signing is very cap friendly in 22 and 23 .[/QUOTE]Cap hit is 21m in 22 and 23. That is manageable, but I wouldn't call it cap friendly. It is the currently the 4th highest cap hit in 2022 for WR; only Cooper, Thomas and Hopkins are higher.

The big key will be his health. If he does stay healthy its a good deal. There is a definite risk, though, when a player misses 11 games the season before signing a 4 year deal.

I tend to agree, BUT I really think the Giants skill players on offense tend to be overrated...engram, Barkley, tranny dimes, and now Golladay.

Giants letting D tackle Tomlinson leave so they could use that money to pay Williams was a massive mistake. There run defense takes a massive hit and Williams will be doubled now, taking away from his ability. He will be missed, but their defense as a unit is underrated.

Philly gonna suck and I’m all here for it.

Dallas will have the same problem as last year, they don’t have a defense. They are lacking everywhere on defense especially at corner and most important, dline. They can’t rush the passer or stop the run in the trenches.

I think the league will be more competitive this coming year, but our foundation is stronger than the others.

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

Giants will only go as far as Jones can take them, and right now he's still a big question mark. Big year for him that's for sure.

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

Rams signed DeSean Jackson for 1 year.

Eagles bringing in Joe Flacco for a visit. :D

Lindsey signed with the TEXANS. He'll be a backup. Odd choice, he had to have more options than that.

Re: NFL Free Agency Around the League
 

Galloday will help Danny dimes a lot. Yeah he's overpaid but he's worth it when you have a average QB that needs a big target.. Who else were they going to get? The draft is a crapshoot especially at WR
