I wouldn’t think they would, but it’s also curious to me that they want to trade him, now that Deebo is gone and the deal actually isn’t bad compared to the market.

Ahh yes that guarantees in April, can’t cut him in June. I’m with you, WHEN HEALTHY, I’d take him over Metcalf, but is he going to return to form? It’s a huge gamble, but bc of that, I’d assume the capital to trade for him would have to be low. If they would move him for a 4th or less, I’d run the risk and just tell Palmer, sorry man, good luck out there.

I wonder if they want out bad enough to post June 1 cut him. The cap hit to trade him isn’t as bad, but still fairly significant. If he’s healthy, it’s not a bad contract compared to what people are going for thus far. I say flip them a 4th and tell Palmer the deal is off 😂.

Yeah, when a team that JUST signed a guy to a big extension say “yeah we screwed up” and tries to trade him, I’m not that interested. Aiyuk is the classic well rounded, not special at anything player. Wait, actually he’s exactly the type McBeane looks for, but still, he gets paid a reasonable amount, he’s out.

I don’t think that money is an overpayment for what he did/does. You don’t get much of anything for 4.2 M.

I already regret it.

Well that one falls firmly in the WTF? Category.

That sucks, really wanted him back.

Well, let’s see if he and JA can get on the same page and make this look really good.

Good thing we locked Groot up for more, would have hated that upgrade for less money.

I like it, pretty low risk, big potential

Deservingly so if Perine gets that.

They were a playoff team with hot garbage at QB and got better, plus have better options available in FA for QB this year, so yeah, I see them as a real contender. We aren’t talking about the Bills here, they have a good roster aside from QB, instead of a roster dependent on the QB being super human.

Looks like it’s becoming a play or you don’t get paid scenario to me. Trade him at that rate.

I think the Steelers are more of a contender than we want to give them credit for. It’s still a team with a premier D, now has two WRs and a good TE, they were a QB away last year, not saying that’s an easy fix, but it’s one that could be stop gapped w Rodgers pretty effectively. Even Fields has to be looked at as ok. The decision to die w Russ last year would be the biggest pause I’d have as a player coming in. So I don’t think it’s far fetched for DK to feel he’s getting to a contender. Garrett had zero leverage and got PAID to stay there. So moot point on that. Some guys over play their hand and have to settle to get paid. I think there’s an “all this equal or reasonably close” portion to it where guys think the contenders will pay for them to come there, then find out most contenders don’t have money to throw around.

No idea why Bernard was paid TBH I’m here to tell you Bernard would be lucky to start on 10 teams. He’s a slow safety playing LB. He’s more of the problem than part of the solution for this team. Eventually, you and everyone else is going to see it. You’ll all blame it on injuries, lament what could have been, and wish we had more cap space to work with to get the stars Beane continues to miss on in the draft.

Well, hope y’all enjoyed Free agency this year, that’s a wrap!

Yeah, if we’re being real, that’s more accurate. The scouting report from college still holds true, he’s just not a fast processor, when he has time to see something he’s fine, when it’s gotta happen fast, he’s just not good enough for the NFL. I don’t know what Seattle’s plan is, but I love how they are trimming the fat off a pretty good team. Now if they go wrap themselves up with Darnold.. well they just don’t get it, it’s just a younger Geno. I really want Rodgers to run the full Farve loop, it would be epic. Also, it might actually work for the Vikes, they have a ton of talent..

It will be interesting to see who’s restructured and who’s just flat out released. Allen could be extended as could Dawkins, I won’t be shocked to see some big names walking out the door.

Only about 1500 short of what he could have had if he had an ounce of pocket presence.

I’d try to get that guy from KC, Mahomes or whatever his name is, he seems pretty good, would be a nice backup.

Seems like a lot for him honestly.

Hont, the same place they got him for considerably less than what he’s now being paid. He’s another OK player taking up valuable cap space. If he had shown any indication he could be the 2023 version of himself, it’s a great deal, as of right now it looks like a signature run it back and hope for a different result move.

Not thrilled

Love the player, hate the risk. Been down this path with Miller before, I’d feel better about spending more and getting more with Garrett. Worst case Garrett is slowed down to Groot level of play as he ages.
