Idk Chico .. looking at all these 3 year deals, they all have small cap hits for this year then really look like 2 year deals with small guaranteed money tied to the 3rd year.

His deal is basically 2 years/24.5M and if they want to cut him after 2 years, its 4M dead cap.

I would definitely pay him 12M per for 2 years with essentially a team option for a 3rd year.

I keep repeating myself but I feel like we our doing a standard normal approach to a unique offseason in which we were perfectly situated and prepared for.

Shrunk cap + half the teams cant go after big name players + cap should explode in next couple of years = sign some of these 3 year deals which are really 2 year deals that also have low 2021 cap hits.

We were supposed to TAKE ADVANTAGE of this situation .. instead we are sitting around making sure all our drinks have fucking coasters underneath them on our coffee table while saying starting corners never made 10 million in my day.

Its like we saved all this money to invest in stocks one day waiting for the right time, then covid hits and theres bargain all over the place to be had by people who saved up their money ... but we decide we want to be in the CD and bond business instead.

RR brought back Fuller for 10M/yr, so I don't know if that is the case.

Still a lot of time left and many players still to be had in free agency. We're just getting started. We can expect more cuts before the deadline too.

It's a measured approach...be patient my friend.

I dont see cap as the driving factor as much as the FO has very specific goals and targets, and they know what they want to spend at each position. I could be wrong but I prefer this approach to the pay them all and roll the dice.

I agree with that. I'm glad they aren't spending their money like my kids do when they get their allowance...

It really surprises me how much Bill B went in this year, and his rep is gonna take another hit if they don't at least make the playoffs. You know he's gotta be salty after Brady won another one without him.

They went 7-9 last year I think. Had a few big wins but a few bad losses. Overall their record wasn't bad considering the quality of players they had last year. I am thinking a WC run and in a 1 and done situation Bill always has a few surprises.
