NFL Free Agents Signings

Bout what I expected, afc east a lot of early movement. Should be a fun division to watch.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

Great move by miami he's a monster. Yeah he's dirty but u can't hold him 1 on 1. Miami got much better today.

Oh and good deal opening this new fresh thread.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

If I were a Gm, the only way I would sign Suh is if I thought my team was real close to a deep run. I don't know if Miami is that close.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

There is no way in fuck I would pay one DL QB type money. I suppose they can do that since they don't have a QB to pay QB type money.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

Yeah they don't really have an expensive player and they know they will have to play great d to win since that offense is very average. I like the move hell I wanted suh he's a great player but I'm glad we didn't go get him for this money. We need so many parts as it is

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

I would only pay Franchise QB money to a Franchise QB.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

Suh is a great player but that's crazy money.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

Im not sure how the Dolphins are going to sign Suh with their cap situation. They have a little over 2 mil in cap space now based on the numbers at Overthecap.com.

Total Cap Number: $145,016,177 (Top 51: $142,840,511)

Thats what they list prior to the signing. And thats based on the rule of 51. Once the season starts, they will have to account for 53 players, the practice squad, and any injured reserve players. They are going to have to do some serious cutting and/or restructuring to make this work. If they plan on signing Tannehill next year, thats going to take a good amount more money to fit in next year.

Right now they are following the Vinnie Cerrato - DS school of salary cap management. Squeeze it to the limit for the big name(s) and have no depth at all. You can always get under the salary cap - we got a 16M cap hit 2 years in a row and never went over, but you simply give up flexibility and depth.

I thought it was 18 mil for 2 years in cap penalties that we had gotten. Even so, when we got our cap penalties, we had a lot of space cleared from Halls and Haynesworths contracts, which brought on the penalties in the first place. They have no space cleared and are going to have to create it. I agree that this is a Snyderatto type move. Although I dont think Suh will tank it once he gets the money like Haynesworth did so they will probably get production out of the signing, unlike what we got from all our fantasy football signings of Cerrato.

IMO The Fins owner Ross strongly resembles Snyder circa 2001: he doesn't understand that you can't just buy a championship.

He also resembles Snyder circa 2015: he can't leave football to the football people.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

Sidenote, I always wish tony Montana would have escaped in scarface and in scarface 2 would have acquired ownership of the Dolphins in a strong arm deal. That would have made for the best sports movie all time

Brandon Carr contract part deux

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

Agree. I think he'll be decent, but 54 million is ridiculous.


Looks like Gore is heading there too.

Looks like they're assembling Dream Team part II. Lmao.

If they trade up for Mariota, it'll make my Eagles offseason.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

The Eagles off-season is bizarre. I have no earthly idea what Chip Kelly is trying to do. Well, as a Skins fan I can only say "Keep up the good work, Chip!".

That is the problem with signing those big name players like Suh. You sacrifice so much in other places that it just ends up killing your team. Suh could very well end up being a beast but it won't matter if every other position sucks.

Hearing that Torrey Smith is headed to San Fran

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

54 million is what we paid for Hall same time we signed fat fuck for $100 mill and both were ridiculous.

And they are losing maclin....Im so lost with what the Eagles are doing. Chip Kelly is a genius

They lose their 2 best players on offense, after losing their best guy the season before

I know right? Crazy. I think they are going to sign harvin... Sadly not a good thing for us at all

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

Maclin for Harvin? I got no problem with that at all. I would much rather face Gore/Harvin than Shady/Maclin any day of the week.

I just hope our Special Teams unit gets its shit together. Let's not forget that Harvin scored a TD in a kick return during the SB, which pretty much put the nail in the coffin for Manning and the Broncos.

To be fair, the nail in the coffin was the first play of the game.

So my guess is San Fran and Eagles are going to swipe QBs with San Fran getting a 2nd round pick as well.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if they swap Kaep and Foles.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings
 

^^ Agreed. Not sure how I feel about it. I was never sold on Kap or Foles as being anything other than mediocre starters. Kap has many of the same issues RGIII has. Foles, even in his phenomenal year, just didn't convince me he was special.

If it happens, CK will be re-upping the option attack in a big way. Essentially, inside/outside zone runs and package plays galore. It will probably all work as planned and I will hate the Eagles even more.
