Free agency thread 2022

[Shane]

So, we couldn’t afford any named free agents and suddenly we are going to trade picks to acquire a high priced player.
Let’s get real.

Not really the same. And none of the FAs are AJ Brown Caliber players.

Perhaps not. The point is we are not going to trade for a guy like Brown. I’d love it, but it’s not going to happen.

We need to add youngster without fat contracts
Signing Aj brown means u pay 50 mil a year two receivers and moreover the k1 likely extension
Zero chance

You're right it won't, but mainly because there is zero chance Brown is going anywhere he isn't clear WR1.

 

[Jetstream Green]

AJ Brown is a Titan.

The Raiders have been through so many known WRs on a merry go round I forgot about the Titans also having the same amusement park lol

Yeah right, probably just a little better than Green.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Lol so we can use him for an entire 4-5 games

And, that’s if he takes PEDs.

Personally I think a First and Third is too high a price for Brown especially considering the Raiders gave up a first and second for Adams. Brown is going to want somewhere in the neighborhood of $90+ million over 4 years. Secondly come 2023 the team would have over $50 million tied up in two WRs because Hopkins cap hit balloons to $30 million in 2023.

Hopkins Contract per Spotrac:

You must be registered for see images attach

Adams - 29 years old
Brown - 24 years old
The draft picks are also a little higher in the adams deal.

I’m good with 1st and 3rd. I could easily live with it.

Deebo's success largely comes from Shanny's scheme. That's not to say he isn't good, but no team would be getting the same player.

. . . said no one that actually watched him this year. Deebo was certainly used well, but it’s not like his success was predicated on being wide open due to shanny’s sustem. It was predicated on his speed, power and moves to maximize plays that other receivers wouldn’t have been capable of. Watching him was watching electricity, not oohing and aaahing at how wide open he got due to the play design.

Deebo to me is like Boldin... one tough talented ****

Not counting the qb's he is the most impactful player in the nfl

He's like Walter Payton was, not only good at his position but simply a great football player

Another reason it makes sense to wait

 

[Shane]

I don't see Honey Badger going to a team with no shot for a few years like the Saints.

He sure did…. Signed with Saints

He's a lot more impactful than Bolden due his ability to be used as an effective running back.

Question with him to me is will he be able to hold up physically for more than a year or 2 with similar usage as last season.

 

[Garthshort]

I know that he's more mature than when he was at LSU. But, when he first joined the Cardinals, I remember reading that the further away he gets from NO, the better. Assume it had to do with his nightlife.

That's why nobody listens to me anyway.

No that's why he wants to go somewhere else
Is thinking about career and making money, no need to shorten his career for the sake of a franchise and their brass

He's grown up a lot since then

 

[juza76]

Yes he got better whining at his former teams)
