NFL FA Frenzy Game Thread

My wish for a WR is Curtis Samuel. If it's Kenny Golladay, I will faint. Corey Davis and Nelson Agholor are others on their radar.
I'd love Will Fuller depending on price obviously. Guy can stretch the field with the best of them. Cam isn't the best fit at QB for him though.
I was literally just looking at that when I saw that post lol.
I think they may have to get to 5 or 6 to get 1 of the big 4, though.
By the way, this all shows how stupid the "legal tampering period" is. The legal tampering period *BEGAN* at noon today. In theory, this is when teams are allowed to INITIATE CONTACT with these players (through their agents). Yet all these guys are SIGNED within minutes/hours of the legal tampering period STARTING. Pretty obviously there had been negotiations going on for a while. Which....is tampering. It's so dumb.
(But it makes for a fun day today!)

NFL clearly going to investigate the Pats because this clearly damages the integrity of the game. The contracts will all be invalidated and the Patriots will lose 2 first round picks...
[Insert obvious but SoSH-chided joke about NFL stealing more draft picks from Patriots for league-wide accepted behaviors]
Yeah, I think Jags/Jets/Falcons should all take QB, Miami probably won't, but could trade back to someone who needs one, but if they draft a player, getting to 5 might be necessary.
I doubt the Eagles would draft a QB at 6, but if they don't, they should trade down as Lions should be drafting a QB at 7.
So 8 feels too late unless teams really don't like 1 of Fields/Lance for some reason.
Feel like there are guys with a lot more upside who'll likely command similar money: Higgins, Hilton, Cole.
Agreed. If AJ gets close to the money that those guys get, I want nothing to do with him. I would think based on age and injury, AJ would struggle to match those names.
Hilton maybe not, but most places seem to project AJ in the 6-7M a year range, and I would guess Higgins will be there too, Cole maybe less
Draft a shitton of wide receivers and throw the ball a ton and you'll hit a bunch? James Washington, Dri Archer, Sammie Coates, Limas Sweed, Markus Wheaton are all second and third round picks drafted in the past 11 years who didn't really work out (some made some plays here and there).

$80mn over 5 years for Thuney

The cap gymnastics the Chiefs are doing to make this work have to be pretty impressive. I think it's a really good signing for them given how that SB went and the loss of their two tackles, but they're gonna need to keep hitting cheap talent in the draft to avoid some painful cuts.
Cutting their starting tackles and restructuring the Mahomes deal netted them a ton of cap space.
That Frank Clark deal sticks out like a diseased thumb on their books.
Not sure if we know enough yet about the specifics of the deals. Miguel says not enough for him as of now.
Virtually impossible to say precisely until we know the structures of the deals (bonus, guarantees, first year salary). Since they started the day with like 65M in space, It’ll be well north of 25M of remaining space, I expect, as the AAVs of these deals almost certainly won’t correspond to the cap charges this year.

He played LT at NC State & some emergency snaps at RT in 2019.
So maybe they think he can handle playing T with the idea that if he fails, at least they can swap him back inside.

New #Chiefs guard Joe Thuney’s five-year, $80 million contract includes $32.5M fully guaranteed at signing over the first two years, plus an injury guarantee that converts to full in 2022, per source. That brings the practical guarantee at signing to a whipping $48 million.
