Free Agency Rumor Thread

[Logic]

Get me a Dion Dawkins restructuring to free up $10million, a Benford extension, and Asante Samuel Jr, and then bring on the draft and get me BPA all day.

I always thought the Steelers did him dirty. He was the best or their collection of garbage QBs a few years back (Pickett, trubisky, Rudolph), yet ended up as a 3rd stringer. 

He pretty much got them in the Playoffs a couple years ago. Saved their season, if you will.

Mason lived in a gated community for sure, and always had a nice Christmas 😂

Can't stand him. 

Or Kelce. I'd fight him and happily get destroyed, just let me land one punch.

Well now we know why Myles Garret wanted to stick around.

And why DK wanted to go to Pittsburgh.

Yeah, I have hated him since draft time. Imagine if we did not get Josh...he was probably going to be the pick. Beane and McDermott would be selling insurance somewhere now.

A contingent of posters here wanted to take Roquon Smith at 12 and wait for Rudolph with KC's first. They argued about "draft value."

Wilson is meeting with the Browns today and the Giants tomorrow. Both the Steelers and Giants are showing the most interest in Rodgers. Have to think Wilson is plan B for both teams if they can't sign him. Now if Wilson signs with the Browns, then I don't know what plan C will be for the team that doesn't get Rodgers.

Jamies Winston? Maybe he is more like plan D

I honestly can't believe that Sean McDermott ever let a player named WILL CLAPP out of the building.

The one thing I will say is that I do not believe they will sign two corners. If they add a Samuel on a long-term deal I don't think they extend Benford. If they extend Benford I think they add a very cheap vet and draft a guy. Meaning I don't think they will pay two corners. Have one long-term guy and one young guy making minimum and churn through that every 4 years. I could be wrong. But just thinking about cap allocation...unless Samuel comes in cheaper than I think.

My 3 picks that year were Vita Vea, Rudolph and James Washington, thinking we were gonna stick where we were slotted and thinking we could move a spot or 2 for Vea.

I don't disagree with this premise.

I'm thinking that Samuel Jr still being on the market at this point in FA may mean that either teams have questions about his neck being fully healed, or his asking price is too high.

Either way, it wouldn't surprise me to see him take a one year "prove it" deal somewhere, with the desire to re-enter free agency next year.

In that scenario, I could foresee a Benford extension, a one-year Samuel deal (a la Rousseau and Bosa), and then the Bills drafting a mid-to-late round guy to groom behind Samuel and hopefully take over next year.

It's got to be the neck issues that are keeping Samuel unsigned at this point.  Beane has to have a plan, though, since he traded Kair.  I'm also wondering if the back to back concussions are contributing to the wait on a Benford extension.

Is Murphy still available?
