Whose the second? The 32 year old DE with injury issues that hasn’t had a double digit sack season since 2018? Names do not equal “top defensive player”. Is JJ Watt a “top defensive player” still too? Because he’s a free agent and was once the best defensive player in the league. Chargers whole defense was bad, all 3 levels, so one top 5 corner and an oft injured 32 year old DE isn’t going to turn them into the 85 Bears. And this is a team that didn’t make the playoffs last year after losing to the weak Raiders to get in. Now they have to contend with Wilson and the Broncos too on top of Mahomes and the Chiefs. Odds are they won’t even win their division still.

Jimmy G is going to be traded, Jimmy G has even already said goodbye. 49ers have a win now roster, no assurances Trey is ready. It’s why 49ers are looking at Mariota too. So yeah, Niners were definitely a spot he made sense. No indication if they were interested or not, but they are also stuck with Jimmy G right now because Watson trade will hold up Jimmy G. By the time he gets traded there may not be a lot left to pick from.

Hahaha you were! Schefter just said on ESPN that it’s $18m per year ‘along his deal $72M, but with incentives he can hit $84M.

Turns out giving up $10M-$20m to come here for a discount was “extreme” after all…as in extremely low 😎 🤪 Turns out he would left up to $60M on the table to take the kind of deals people were suggesting here. Lol

True, seeing talk is $18m per year on Twitter, but nothing official yet. Still, $18m per year is rich for him too.

I told y’all he was never coming here, total pipe dream because he was gonna get paid. But I was thinking more like $12m-$14m…but that’s way more than expected, that’s a lot of dough he just got. Deal said to be $18M per season with incentives to reach $21M. So his floor is $72M but deal can reach $84M. I’m still confident we work a good deal for both parties with Diggs, but geesh these other receiver deals are blowing the WR market way up.

Holy **** he got more than Mike Williams! I told y’all he was never coming here and would get big money, but even I didn’t think it would be this big. Wow!

Yeah, given the talent at WR in FA, especially Adams who Diggs is considered to be in same tier as, I’m sure his agents were in no rush to get it done. Especially knowing full well guys like Williams, Robinson, Kirk we’re gonna set a very high floor for his deal, meaning Diggs is worth more than those guys. But Diggs loves Buffalo…whose taken care of him financially since the day we got him…loves the mafia, loves the locker room, loves winning, and most importantly has an absolute bromance with Allen. So I expect they are gonna look for the right deal for him, but still give Buffalo some sort of discount and also make sure it’s team friendly because Diggs is driven to win. So I’m not that worried to be honest, I’m sure it will get done and Beane will work some magic with it too.

It didn’t say anything about “big money” though

I was speculating $14M when I saw the Williams re-up, but the fact they went out of their way to say “large deal” in the tweet makes me think it could be up there in higher teens range like you just speculated which would be crazy to me.

Is there where I say “I told you so”?

I like it a lot 😁

Foster will have a hard time making that roster. Wish him well, but it’s an uphill battle there for him IMHO.

Makes sense, I figured them, Colts, or Niners were the most likely places. Wish him well, except when he plays us haha

My head is spinning with all these big deals we sat on for the first hour of FA lol

Old news, that was like a week ago

Most important detail is that I somehow beat @YoloinOhio (barely) to post this thread 😂 Moral of the story: Miracles can happen people, don’t give up on your dreams 😂

Rumor is to keep an eye on Chiefs and Buffalo for his landing spot.

This.

Not accurate at all. We have no cap space coming into the off-season and some big holes to fill like CB and DT plus needing help elsewhere. You can’t take up over $8M in cap space (RT money) for what is likely a mediocre starting guard or a backup G/T when you have cap space issues. This move always seemed probable given our cap issues and Williams projected role this next season. It’s not an indicator that a big signing is happening. Doesn’t mean we won’t make a big signing, but just saying this was always a strong possibility regardless who we sign. Personally I think it’s also quite possible he returns as a depth OL guys who can backup G or T. Depends what kind of market there is for him though.

From what I’ve read, Bills could get out of it after next year if it wasn’t working out. And we can always redo his deal as well, and I would suspect that if we did trade for him that discussion about that would be done before we did. Personally I still think it’s more plausible we end up with Barkley. But the CMC trade is more doable than people think.

I miss that thread 😂

LMAO I came to post the same thing hahaha, glad I checked

I think we need to pin a thread that says CMC would ONLY cost $8M against the cap this year because people still mistakenly think his cap hit would be $17M. CMC at $8M this year is an entirely different conversation than $17M. Not to mention, just trading Beasley will free up most the cap space needed to absorb CMC. Not saying we are going to do it, but so many people have this false narrative of what CMC would cost in trade against the cap.

GOOD. Thats the better approach as far as I am concerned.
