2024 Free Agency thread

[Mulli]

Meh a rebuild is a rebuild. Different teams have different success with different philosophies. The only thing that will count here is:

1. Can monti effectively identify talent
2. Can monti and team acquire talent (this is not the same as #1)
3. Can team retain talent
4. Can gannon and his team develop talent
5. Can gannon and team coach well
6. Injuries
7. Managing the cap effectively

This isn’t rocket science. Each of those is simple conceptually but difficult (or lucky as regards injuries) in practice. A confluence of all 7 gives you sustained success. Not anything we are doing differently this time around.

Thanks for sharing

Do we really need to?

So what are you thinking. Stick with what we have and draft how many WRs?

 

[kerouac9]

The Seahawks took years to turn it around, but they did it the right way and had over a decade of success this way.

Which years specifically are you alluding to here?

The Michael Bennett years?

 

[BritCard]

Wow. Bills can have him. He's a vet min guy. I wouldn't pay him that.

For a third and a 7th, I'm interested.

I agree with your thoughts process overall, but Snead was even successful when the Chiefs pass rush sucked.

I said in the last 2 weeks I wasn't interested.

Firstly CB values are dropping. Alexander and Ward still lead the market and they signed deals 2 years ago. Teams are playing a lot of 2 high and aDots are dropping. Do paying $20m per doesn't interest me.

Second, I'm wary of CBs coming out of a great defensive scheme that have only known that scheme. Same for CBs coming out of the Pats in the past.

I wouldn't complain if we traded for him but I would have been concerned. I'd rather spend that money on Reddick and role out a middling CB than vice versa.

Nothing special.

I have a feeling the plan is to let the draft play out and if we still need another WR, then we'll wait for June 1st/post draft cuts. No need to rush for the likes of Micheal Thomas or Tyler Boyd.

Agree..WR, DT, CB...some decent older vets will be cut over the next few months. We should be able to add to our talent on 1 and 2 year deals.

2010 and 2011. Carroll had back-to-back 7-9 years in a really weak NFC West.

Austin Johnson is a guy. Plays DL. That's all.

He's depth, nothing more.

And they come cheaper after the draft.

The one where they won the NFC West and a playoff game?

Okay.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Okay.

This is, perhaps, the most ridiculous argument you've ever made.

I'm impressed.

Yes. The year they won by default. Totally undermines my statement.

They also spent quite a bit on Matt Flynn, right? Funny

 

[RON_IN_OC]

That was 2012, when they also drafted Wilson and Flynn never played.

Bruh. Considering this deal and the one that Donovan Peoples-Jones signed, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Cards double-dip at the WR position in the first two days of the draft. I'm sure we'll bring in some bodies at some point, but guys like Hunter Renfro, ODB, Tyler Boys, and Michael Thomas don't have any appeal for me.

Yuck.

Hollywood Brown money!

 

[Mulli]

Worth up $14 million, is that $7 million per year?

 

[kerouac9]

I'm guessing it's more like $3 million with crazy incentives.

 

[Shane]

I'm guessing it's more like $3 million with crazy incentives.

Still too much for THAT guy

 

[Mulli]

I'm guessing it's more like $3 million with crazy incentives.

Is he the backup QB too?

 

[kerouac9]

Still too much for THAT guy

Would you rather have him or Robbie Chosen? Chase Claypool?

Yuck.

I fully believe they are drafting two receivers.
