Around the NFL Off season thread 1.0

This can be the league news thread.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2...-vegas-expert/

As of today Vegas has the PATS and EAGLES playing again next yr, of course this will almost certainly change , they also have the skins as 80/1 which ranks us at the bottom 10 of the league.... Also you guessed it, Dallas is in the top 10.

And this is just a cluster lol, I can't blame JMC for staying but it was a bush league move.

Why can't the Eagles repeat? They're getting back three of their best players.

Only thing harder than getting to the Super Bowl and winning it ,is repeating that. It's a 53 man roster with team chemistry and luck playing a big part.

Hopefully he can convince Brady to retire too.

I'd say 30 probably and it'll be with the Jets IMO. I'm glad we didn't do that deal.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the Redskins FO deserves credit for getting Alex Smith for MUCH less. Kirk would want something in this range which (a) he's not worth and (b) much more importantly, would cripple the Skins salary cap.

Agreed.

From what I understood, Smith got a 4 years extension worth 23,5M/yr right?

His current contract pays him 17M (according to sportrac) to 20,6M (according to overthecap) in 2018.

Not a contract expert but anyway for next year that's 7M to 10,5M less than Jimmy G and it might be 10M to 13M less than what Kirk will get !

I'm happy with this. Football is a team sport, need 11 players on the field and 53 on your roster.

One way to put it is: is Kirk worth Alex Smith + a solid starter like Cameron Heyward, Larry Fitzgerald, Cameron Jordan or Luke Kuelchy (to name a few guys making 10M to 13M) ?

My short answer is no.

Would it? 27.5 mil is approx. 3.5 mil more than what he got for 2017. I know I'm beating a dead horse here but it wouldn't have crippled us. Sure in hindsight we could use that extra money elsewhere but the problem would have been nonexistent had they ponied up two years ago at the steal price of 20 mil AAV.
