2022 Free Agency - Around the NFL Thread

[Motor26]

Hunter + picks or Chandler Jones for no picks? Hunter is still in his prime but we’ve seen defensive ends still play well at age 30+.

Yeah, not really thinking 3rd string. More of like a James White role with a few spot carries and primary 3rd down RB.

Looking more and more like the screen game is coming back to Buffalo

Yeah….I’ll go with the lower risk situation.  I love a healthy hunter…but giving up a 1st and having to pay and extend him to a massive contract is scary. He’s gonna want 25-30M aav long term. 😳  I’d rather rent jones for 1-2 years.  Hunter is superior at this point, I’d rather keep the pick and draft a potential cornerstone player and adding a proven potential HoF pass rusher.

Hmm, I'd take the 27-year-old, personally. But I'd take either one. We need an elite pass rusher.

Don’t mind it. Good 3rd down back. Although I thought Beane said he was looking for “young and hungry players.” Right now only player that fits that bill is Settle.

Put me in this camp, as well. Gimme the savvy Jones and a speed WR at #25 (got the rosary out for Jameson Wiliams).

I agree with the sentiment, but no one is giving up a first for Danielle Hunter. That's been the case for a few years now, and especially not now with the Vikings looking at likely having to cut him.

I agree. If somehow Hunter could be had for the Bills 2nd that’s another story, but Minny will surely want a 1st. Jones is a great fit for the defense.

Are we you even allowed to field an NFL team if you don't have an RB3 who might be better than your RB2, and healthy scratch him every week?

Yea but Poyer is also 30+ so this young kids contract has nothing to do with him.

 

Well that isn't the way the NFL has  ever worked...but OK...

 

Poyer will be paid based on his performance compared to his peers. If he plays like one of the best safeties in the league again, he will be paid in the same range as one of the best safeties in the league. Maybe he doesn't get 5 years, he gets 2 or 3. Maybe a couple bucks get taken off. 

But to say another safety getting paid doesn't have anything to do with our safety getting paid is absurd.

Emmanuel Ogbah re-signed with Dolphins, Randy Gregory- Broncos, Demarcus Lawrence re-signed with Cowboys.

It actually is exactly how the NFL works. It's why the old guys don't get paid as much.
