Would be something if Beane got Diggs to rework his contract

Expand  

 

He doesn't need to get the okay to re-structure Diggs. There's a rework of his deal that can be done that doesn't require his permission. It just seems to be something we don't want to do.

 

As for a Miller type thing, fat chance. Especially after seeing Ridley's contract today.

Yes I’m aware. I was referring to the Von Miller rework

What Ridley's contract ought to tell folks is that it is imperative to get your really good WR on a rookie contract. But somehow, there's still a contingent that thinks we need to get DE and DL early, because Patrick Mahomes . . .

Safety update…Still available, young starting caliber safeties. I added their age when the season starts…

Mike Edwards -28

Julian Blackmon -26

K’Von Wallace -27

Jordan Fuller -26

 

Best player available is the 30 year old Justin Simmons.

How else can you explain the Allen restrux? The money left on the table for this year has very little value over the rest of his contract. Only benefit is $8M kept in his pocket.

I don’t think it can be done again same year.

You can only restructure once per season, and Josh will certainly get restructured again next year. It shouldn't have to be explained that restructuring every player on the roster for the maximum amount isn't financially prudent, and can quickly create problems in the future. Just because Beane chose a measured response does not indicate that "Pegula is cheap."

If we can only restructure Josh's contract once for this season, then I would be shocked if we signed Armstead or any other significant free agent at this point.  The remaining amount that was available for the restructure seems to be the only realistic avenue to make this happen given the other holes that need to be addressed.

They don’t need to make a major move to free money up to sign Armstead… provided they are happy to kick money down the road …

 

when they signed Floyd last year for $7m… they just added a few dummy years to the deal  and kicked $5m down the road … 

If Armstead is really coming …doubt they pay much more

Some rumors on the twittersphere are that Levi Wallace is coming back

I’d be fine with that.  He can take over the vacancy from Dane Jackson leaving.  I’m sure he’d be pretty cheap too

I think Wallace makes a lot of sense given we'd just be looking for an off the bench Boundary CB. He'd probably come at the price we'd be willing to pay for that and has experience in the system.

 

I don't know if the IG post was a clue though. It was 1 of 10 photo's he posted that looked more to be saying 'hello' to his IG followers.

 

Elam is going to be here. He really has no trade value and even with Wallace, we'd still need another CB to fill the roster. We'd have to give him away and I don't think that's something we want to do after our investment.

Is Douglas’ contract messed up due to the restructure of we move off him?

 

Were all debating where we can find money for Armstead…

 

What if we just move off Rasul Douglas and bring in Arik Armstead.  
 

If we bring back Levi, we have our emergency starter.  Benford locks down one spot.  Hopefully Elam can have a good summer.  Draft a corner or two.

Even if that’s a little bit true and he wants to hit his head against the wall with your theory, he did it at on a much cheaper scale that doesn’t hurt us one bit. I’m about that.

Why sign depth players when you’re strapped for cash when you need starters. These guys ain’t gonna make a difference regardless. Save the ***** money until you get what you need first. Look at when they signed Poona last year, then they gotta go sign Douglas mid season. Signed Harty and Sherfield and could used the money for both to sign a more proven player.  It’s the same old *****. I understand they don’t have as much money to spend, but using it more wisely is my issue.  Beane has done it with the oline for years, tries to find guys that had one solid season and hope he can get consistent play out of them. This is who he is. It’s just now at the point he’s trying this ***** with more positions. Getting old

I like Wallace's versatility in he can play both Safety spots or even nickel CB. Toss in he has a new connection with our nickel DB coach who was also a safety coach in Tennessee.
