NFL (since 2016)
|

Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent.
Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB,
Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt.
lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all.

surprised Brock left. either showing off after being benched or Elway's not offered enough money. strange decision either way

apparently he just stopped returning the calls from both the organisation and the players, obviously hurt his feelings when they benched him for Manning, who at the time was probably the worst QB in the league.
don't think the Broncos were willing to offer him as much either. Can see Fitzpatrick going to the Broncos now

I think we (skins) could be fucked if it's true we only have $16m cap space. I can't see how that's the case after releasing so many players but if true, I can't see us making any moves at all. what a fuck up

As a Giants fan. It's a needs must situation. Never been a fan of free agency. It is a quick fix that hardly works. But we got a shit load of salary cap that needs togo. And Jerry Resse needs to get a winning season on his CV.,

The most recently signed good player at any position is almost always the highest paid. Especially when the salary cap goes up and teams have a lot of money to spend. It's almost never a completely true reflection on who is ultimately the best. More a reflection of inflation. Joe Flacco was the highest paid QB in the league for a while after he signed his current deal- until the next player in the upper tier of that position signed a better deal.
When the next good DE hits free agency or signs an extension, he will become the highest paid, as will Watt once more when his contract talks come round.
Bottom line is that if you need to acquire upper tier players in free agency, you know you'll over pay. It's almost a penance for poor/unfortunate choices in the draft and team management.

If they give me a call, I'll get a flight over there and will drive him wherever he needs to go!!

I hope we spend most of our cap signing cornerbacks and safetys. if we don't finally sort our secondary we may as well not bother next season

Cornerback is where you unfortunately really get your pants pulled down over money as well. Especially in free agency.

true scorch. im hoping we draft in that position early but rumours are we're looking at the defensive line instead. I give up :.)

Patriots are only a couple of players away from being right back to the Superbowl, Need a running back (Would love Forte as I think he can run and catch so defences don't know what they are going to do on any specific down), Need a Wide Receiver Sounds like Sanu is flying in for a meeting soon and wouldn't mind Matthews who the dolphins let go.

Well at least if you've got a strong line and a decent pass rush, you can usually get away with covering for any weakness in the secondary to a certain degree.

didn't realise he'd gone already, been so many moves I must of missed it. Dion Lewis is more than enough just not sure he can stay healthy

I will put my neck out now and say...
"Texans have made a great signing in Brock Osweiler"

Looked average at best for the Broncos but has potential, in a good situation with a strong defence, Lamar Miller at running back and Hopkins and Strong at receiver

Re: 2016 NFL Season

im not sure he's great but he's a decent signing. the problem he'll have is a lack of targets outside Hopkins but Osweiler's definitely a big improvement on what they had last season
