3/18 @4pm NFL Free Agency & Trading Period

[Defensewins]

1993 Richie Petitbon
W-L record:164-108
Playoff Record: 16-5

But Gregg Williams defense ranked third in the NFL in 2004 and ninth in 2005. Not bad

6 more days until we sign Austin Hooper.

We're going to have competition. You can expect the Pats to be heavily in pursuit of a TE. It's good to be Hooper right about now. He's going to get overpaid.

The nature of free agency is you pay a premium for the top guys. In two years Hooper's deal will look much different. The guy is 25, durable, and productive. I'd make a hard push for him. The next 5 years are his prime years.

Exactly. Pay the man. We need a 3 down TE. Have needed one for years. He is in his prime and the cap is going up. Pay that man!!!

Im getting the feeling the cap is going to go up exponentially (and keep going up) and we, mentally, are still thinking 2018 price values when its a new age.

Perhaps 35M for a top tier QB is normal, 20M for top tier LT, 20M for top tier CB ... I mean, top tier Gs are getting 15M .. Hooper, who isnt a top tier TE but is young and hitting the market at the right time, may get 13 to even 15M.

I think what ever you think is the going market rate, add 20% to it bc thats what agents are thinking.

Hell .. we have like 60 plus M in cap space and could have over 80 if we unload TW and RK. Some teams have an insane amount of unspent cap.

I'd go for this but I'd be surprised if the Titans just let him walk, unless they can't sign Henry and probably Tannehil, needing the tags. He's not TW but he's good and in his prime.

Chargers TE Henry is tagged, as expected. I kinda liked Henry slightly more than Hooper.

Hooper is going to get a massive contract. Washington or somewhere. He's about to get paid. Interested to see how aggressive the Skins pursue him.

I think we will outbid everyone for Hooper. He may get a great TE contract but it’s still only $11 mill. JUST HALF the contract for Cooper or Trent Williams (at least what he wants). Hooper will make a big difference for Haskins, especially since we have NOTHING at TE now. Besides Scherff, Hooper will be our “must have” FA.

I highly doubt we sign Hooper. I see him going to Green Bay.

Why? I thought I read somewhere that the Redskins have a lot more cap room for free agency than either Green Bay or Chicago.

We are unstable at QB. But if we just throw the most money at him then perhaps.

Agree.
