Darnold to the seahawks $110 million over 3 years

Darnold went and played with Jefferson and Addison for a year and revitalized his career. He then proceeds to sign with a team that just released almost all of their offensive weapons so that he can ruin it all again. But at least he got paid.

I don’t think we did the Rousseau deal, cut Von and redid Allen’s contract just to sign some mid-level guys. 
 

Maybe. 
 

I just can’t imagine we don’t do at least one thing that constitutes a “swing”. 

I agree. I'm hoping Hendrikson or Sweat.

Here comes the crybabies…..we’ve been locking up our own guys with long term contracts and we’ll see post after post about us having to sign somebody!

[The Firebaugh Kid]

What's Chase Claypool up to?

This is my conundrum with Beane. His record for 1st and 2nd rounders isn't sterling, Esp. his DL and WR picks. DL is drastically what we need right now

It's why I don't have faith this team will win a Super Bowl. They struggle with finding game breakers in the 1st and 2nd round and are unwilling to break the bank on high end Free Agents. IMO Reddick would have been a great fit for what he got paid.

Huge overpay on

Milton. Screws the DT market pretty hard😡

Pittsburgh released Larry Ogunjobi.  Solid player who would fit in well in Buffalo

Yes and no. This defense needs a huge influx of better talent.

So much money for mid tier players.

Did we go to the show? Do we have a SB trophy, or even a visit to the show in the years that we've had Josh balling out? 

 

If you've answered yes to any of those questions, please share whatever your smoking/drinking/snorting or injecting with the rest of us, cuz were gonna need it today. Beane is not signing anyone that we deemed good, he fishes for second/third tier guys and over pay them.

You and I see sports (and probably life) differently.  You asked your questions.  Here are mine;

1.) Is my team either working towards or putting themselves in direct position to win a title?

2.) Is the GM MUCH smarter than me?  

3.) Do the moves they make/don't make make sense?

4.) Do they admit mistakes quickly and move to remedy them?

And a personal one for me;

5.) Am I able to move beyond the "you are either a champion or a loser" mentality of sports, and enjoy that my team is damn good?

[gonzo1105]

I mean Beane literally told everyone we prob wouldn’t have any big splashed and people still get up in arms

That’s what you’d think… but then again last season we all thought they wouldn’t trade Diggs if there wasn’t a big plan to replace him  in mind.  
 

There was no big plan - unless you think it was trading down to draft Keon Coleman and signing Chase Claypool. 
 

I think they are waiting to sign the undervalued type FA’s and honestly it might be the best plan

Somebody on the board the other day said there will be some serious sticker shock. He was 100% right. Sorry u can’t give credit specifically. But these are some crazy numbers out there. I’m ok grabbing one big fish and waiting out the rest of this.

A team can do a lot in a 3 year period.  Think Bills 2018-2020 at the beginning of Josh's career.  His 1st season he had nothing on offense but still made guys like Robert Foster look like an NFL WR.  Then when he got some players in his 2nd year, the Bills started their playoff streak.
