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

All just seems hollow to me right now... I'm supposed to care about someone getting millions of dollars while the world is in a major crisis? Just my view. I know I'm probably in the minority.

It would be nice to see them stepping up with those new found millions, or billions in the owners cases, and I bet many athletes are doing just that, but not making headlines.

I do get what you are saying though.

Per Jeremy Fowler @JFowlerESPN

The Cleveland Browns are working to close a deal on Austin Hooper, making him the game's highest paid tight end, per source. Other teams can swoop in late but Browns the leader.

#Falcons free agent TE Austin Hooper, the top player at his position, is headed to the #Browns, per

and me. They’ve agreed to terms, he’s the new highest-paid TE.

Wonder what becomes of Njoku(sp?)

Not one has played the system better than Cousins. That is one rich sob.

Flowers signs a 10m/ season with the dolphins. Shit.

It does not look like Rivera is being as aggressive as I hoped he would. We lose Flowers. He bet beat BY THE BROWNS to Hooper. Very unimpressive.

They wanted Flowers but at more like $6 or $7M per, at $10 they were ok with him walking. I read yesterday their interest in Hooper was lukewarm at best.

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

10 per for Flowers seems crazy - he had one good season in a new position and beyond that he was considered a massive bust. That seems pretty rich but the Phins have money and picks to burn.

Losing Hooper is ok with me too - he’s not close to the best TE and we would have overpaid.

Wanted to keep Flowers, but you can’t keep everyone.

I suppose the big question is how much of it was Callahans doing, will Flowers "bloom" in Miami

Hooper shouldn't be the top paid TE in the league and glad we didn't back up the Brinks for him. Trade Trent for hopefully a 2nd and go get a TE in the draft. Also maybe they like what they saw from Hentges.

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

It’s been a crazy and unimpressive day for all us Skins fans. But all hope is not lost. At the end of the day the best we can do is trust in whatever plan Ron has for us and hope for the best. Its a good sign we’re not back to our old ways of picking up all the vets on the fringe or retirement anymore.

That being said. In my book there are still a few FA left on the table that I would like to see happen. In no specific order.

1. OT Viatai from the Eagles. Especially if the Williams trade happens
2. A corner that isn’t overpaying for Bradberry. I wouldn’t hate a Cory Littleton signing in lieu of a DB here
3. Now that Hooper is off the table. I would be less opposed to seeing us make a splash signing at WR
4. Bring in a FB that can block and if he can catch even better.
5. Trade Williams and hold strong for an early day 2 pick.
6. Maybe throw a 3 year offer to Tre Boston see if he bites.

That’s my take not reaching for the stars to much I don’t think but our defense will the better for it. And hopefully a FB can help counter balance our OL problems

Really pissed off, all I want is for the Skins to win the offseason by being big spenders in free agency again. Come on Riverboat Ron, gamble Dan's earnings away!

I’d like to see us sign Boston at FS. Glad that Bradberry went elsewhere.
