WFT's Off-Season Thread

1 week until we sign Kenny Golladay.

Tag more than once: certainly not on a RG!!!!

He's not just any RG. It wasn't an option to let him hit free agency.

Let's see what Thuney gets in free agency. He should be the highest paid guard, and Scherff should be worth a bit less. Maybe they use Thuney's new contract as a measuring stick for Scherff's new contract.

We'll see.

If Thuney becomes the top paid guard you can bet BS's camp will want to top it. Just how this works.

Is it 18m of cap? We were already paying him 15m. So the right question is 2-3 million of extra cap worth a 3rd round comp pick.

Well, he wasn't under contract anymore, so if you compare this second tag to letting him walk, which is what I would've done (and rightfully blaming BA for losing yet another crazy talented player), it is indeed 18M of cap...

Interesting to note the tags NOT applied.

I'd be going after Golladay, Henry and Smith from the get go. Maybe Griffin though I think we'll look to the draft for a CB. Fuller, Milano and Samuel too. Given the cap situation and other uncertainties its a bit of a buyers market, so we should be able to pick up at least 3-5 good FA's to boost us, plus some depth. What about Mike Hilton IF we don't re-sign Darby?

I think I prefer Corey Davis as a cheaper complement to McLaurin, but Golladay wouldn't bother me.

I used to fish a ton, not a hunter but would .....

I like visiting BS twitter feed.

Dude is living a good life.

I agree Scherff is crazy talented, and he should've been locked long term 2 years ago... but once that one was messed up by BA, then I would have accepted to let him walk, it's hard to find guys of Scherff's talent, but you can find plug and play decent guards, we've proven that several times in the past, most recent example being Schweitzer.

18M/y for an aging RG who missed 16 games in 3 seasons and is coming off one of his worst seasons just isn't the answer forme.

Then he plays under the FT and that's the end. Draft his potential replacement and move on next year.

Thuney is the better player, and more durable. He hasn't missed a game in five years, with 7.5 sacks allowed in those 5 years.

Scherff is damn good, but his availability issues alone are enough for him not to warrant a contract that one up's Thuney's.

Doesn't matter who's better just matters who's time it is to get paid and reset the market. Scherff coming off an all pro season has more leverage than ever.
