What's he worst that can happen? Dude was dominant in the SEC and we could use some depth. I don't understand why he isn't getting more looks

I would expect to see maybe one safety deep, possibly none. They will stack the field within the first 5-10 yards and make us prove we can make a pass downfield. Sadly, it will probably work

I keep seeing all these posts where downers keep talking about the qb situation and all our moves mean nothing unless it's fixed. Or there are posts about not getting Bradford or someone else in trade. We don't have a qb anyone wants to trade for. Unless Kaep or Brees becomes magically available, there was never going to be a major upgrade at qb this year in FA or the draft. It's a moot point. All we can do is stack the talent around our mediocre starter and limit his ability to do damage. So please, stop beating the same drum. We all know the situation and are trying to make the best of it. And for me, I think they've done as good a job in regards to offensive weapons as they can (once we get Clay or another TE)

I see people poking fun at the Jets taking our offense from a few years back but, wasn't our offense pretty good? I mean, we lost many of our games because we couldn't stop anyone on defense. That team knew how to score points. You give Chan Fitz, Stevie, Spiller, Marshall, and a defense, I think they will do better than most people think...

This is not a "sky is falling" thread. With who is left in FA, and assuming we go offensive lineman with our 2nd and 3rd picks (I doubt that will happen), is there talent out there which will finish off this offensive line for the ground and pound game we need? Woods fell off a bit last year and Glenn was solid. After that, who knows? Incognito didn't even play last year. Right now, I'm just wondering if we will be able to find the talent we need to be the team we are trying to be. I have faith

I would love him here

Only if it's a deal that's cheap and easily voidable. We have Goodwin and Thigpen. There are other needs for our money

To the people who think he had little left in the tank.... Are you kidding me? What TE on our roster has you so spoiled that you wouldn't take Jimmy !@#$ing Graham. This would have been an absolute coo for us. 3 Mil more than what we will pry offer Clay? Yeah, no brainer. Even if we gave up our 2nd this year and then some. He's a number 1 receiver for one of the best offenses in the NFL. Some people...

You don't?

Are they taking blood? I'll give blood

I've been refreshing rotoworld all day. I take a half hour nap and wake up to 3 trades with pro-bowlers?

More than I would have paid him

I feel bad for the guy if it's injury related. He was amazing. I hope he's at peace with it

I would too and not think twice about it

Just comments scattered throughout other threads. Just found it odd

Is Robert woods hurt or something? I don't see WR as a need at all

9 mil a year. I'll absolutely take that. And yes, I think he could have gotten more

If this is true, I dont care about his relationships with anyone on our team or personal life (unless he kills dogs or is about to get suspended). If we are serious about going all in, then we need to get this done. Period. He is a winning qb and the best option available to us in the past two years and possibly the next few as well. Get it the !@#$ done!

I'm sorry, I thought it was pretty much a lock that he is about to be cut. That's what I'm reading everywhere anyways. Hence the point of, once we get all of our signings done, because it will be a little bit before it happens

Once we have Hughes locked up and whatever lineman and TE plan to get, I would have no problems throwing everything we have left at front-loaded contract to Cutler. Unless Bradford/Kaep is available somehow via trade, Cutler is the best QB option out there. I know he's not a top 10, but he's a top 15 and the best option probably this year or next. He's definitely better than anyone on our roster. And make the deal one that, if we cut him next year or the year after, it doesn't really hurt us. But I'd make it enough up front to make him choose to come here. I'm not a Cutler fan, but again, I want to make a run with the best option we can.

Until I see signs of Freddie showing down, I will continue to give him the benefit of the doubt as a contributor, regardless of his age. I think he's a perfect compliment to McCoy with how they run the ball. Plus, what everyone else said about him being a captain

Is there any way to make the guaranteed money come off the books in different increments, or does it have to be averaged out? Basically, could I pay the bonus all in the first year and nothing the remaining years?

That wouldn't be any different than dead money. The money goes to debt created by player contracts. I don't see where the issue would be That's what I'm asking. Why not do a direct money transfer and then you have it for your cap space. I think there would be a provision that they money has to be spent. You can't just pocket the money as an owner

In baseball, you can trade players for cash. Why not be able to do that in the NFL? Let's say the cowboys like their team, but are 10 million over the cap. There would be a set value of each pick and they could trade it for cap relief. The team trading the cap cash loses that money from their cap. I feel like this would actually help some teams and allow other teams ways to make some trades. For example, the Eagles are now 31 million under the cap, they could use that money to give someone in the top 10 cap relief to move up. I'm sure there is a logical reason as to why this can't happen, but I'm curious.
