NewEra Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 So after we pay Flacco 20 million, everyone else gets signed for a total of 5 million? Don't underestimate the possibility. After we sign flacco, the rest will want to play here for free. They'll have to, because the draft picks will cost 6.5mill. Biggest waste of time thread in history. And that's saying something. There's a better chance of us drafting Johnny Manziel this year, and starting him at defensive tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I know this will never happen, but I wish it would. Again, I know this won't happen, but I'm sure I'll see posts saying it anyways. We have over 25 million available in cap space. More if we made some additional cuts. I know that Nix likes to build through the draft, but that was also before the rookie salary pool was adjusted and doesn't cost as much to bring these guys in. Also, we know that we have a defense that the coach needs to bring guys in to fit. With that, here's my wish list that I again know won't happen, but would sure love to see it. 1 - Sign Flacco. (Yes, I'll pay the 2 first round picks and the 20 million. He's young, proven. Let's call it a day for the next 10 years about who our QB is) 2 - Resign Levitre and Byrd. Guys have proven their worth, pay them. Sends the right message and we would have to waste two picks just to replace them. 3 - Sign Mike Wallace. I think Stevie and him can co-exist since Stevie will still play all over the field and Wallace would absolutely take pressure off of him. Plus, look was Flacco did with Torrey Smith. Imagine him with Wallace. 4 - Sign Landry. We need a SS now and he can groom the guy we draft. Leading into... 5 - Let Pettine draft all defense. If we resign Levitre, add Flacco and Wallace, what else do we really need? Fine, get another lineman and TE in there, but I also think there will be some cheap guys in FA. But, let the guy stack up in what's considered to be a great depth draft. We wouldn't have our first because of Flacco, but who cares. This is far fetched and won't happen, I know that. But honestly, why the hell can't it happen? If these changes occured, we would be immediately relevant. I'd expect way more than just to make the playoffs. I'd expect to win the East. Anyways, just thoughts. I think this is going to be an interesting FA period as many teams are close to the cap and there are a bunch of proven veterans that will have to take less than they are used to. Flame away Sounds good to me except I wouldn't go all defense in the draft, but yet again we probably draft heavy on D anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
