Around the NFL: Free agent signings 2018

And for Hankins, he's had visits with the Skins, Jets, and Lions. After the Lions got Sylvester Williams I'm not even sure they're still in the Hankins market.

What if they all get a DT?

If you're Hankins do you call the Skins or Jets up now and say listen I'll take your one year $4M offer, or whatever they had on the table? Or do you wait, knowing it could mean somebody pays you a ton after the draft, or that you might have to take one year for $2M?

Not an easy call. If you're Hankins's agent you can't afford to let teams sit in draft mode if you think you need to make your move now.

He was asking for 8M/y, we're paying both McClain and McGee 5M/y, so I assume our offer could be close to 5-6M/y.
If that's the case maybe he calls us back before the draft...

And remember, McClain would be a post june 1 cut if we signed Hankins. We would get some relief.

Ive pretty much let it be known Hankins is a good signing at 1 to 3 year deal. He's a young, proven, run-stuffer entering his prime...Id take him over Vea or Payne at 13 without hesitation.



Is it smart by Hankins team to wait out after the draft? Shrinking options is never better for bargaining...He's taking on more risk for a smaller payday.

Cooley would agree with you, he likes Vea and Payne but not at 13, Payne would be a great addition against the run but just a contributor against the pass, Vea has a tendency to take a play off.
He would take safeties Derwin James and Minkah Fitzpatrick before them, he loves both DBs and is astonished by James' athleticism, he says he's a Pro Bowler every year:

Again, signing Hankins would allow us to go BPA (and trade down without worrying about missing on a critically needed DL...).

I tend to agree with you guys. Seems to me his incentive is to get something done before Thursday. He definitely seemed to overplay his hand.

Yep! It's almost surreal that the draft is tonight. After that, it's pretty much waiting for training camp!
