This has bad written all over it. Move on and draft a rookie, who we can build around with all the crazy cap we will have next season.

We all know CMC will be our true #3

Good pickup for #4 WR. He was rumored to be someone our GM would target. 6 TD’s last year

DJ will have his best year yet. Samuel had the benefit of being covered by the third best cb or linebacker most of the time last year, and cashed out because of it. DJ will be a stud here for a very long time, and he hasn’t come close to reaching his ceiling

Give me a starting quality CB and we are set up decent going into the draft

Gotta love that deep green pff grade after seeing our MLB play last year by Whitehead

18. Haason Reddick, Edge/LB, Arizona Cardinals (27) He had a big second half of the season and finished with 12.5 sacks, which was tied for fourth league-wide. Reddick’s role in Arizona has changed about 400 times in four seasons, but he has shown pass-rushing chops. He’s a hybrid-type player who could be really fun with the right defensive coordinator.

Huuuuuuuuuuuge!!!!!

Who would want to come here with our line. We are set up to draft a QB unfortunately. We are at least a year away still.

We have been “interested”in about 70 percent of the free agents so far it seems

I don’t want to hear any logic around here. GTFO and never come back to the Huddle.

Dumb move and he didn’t cost much at all.

The contracts are extremely manageable no matter what. If they work out, it’s a very good price, if not, we aren’t killed in cap. People always freak out unless it’s a superstar who signs for league minimum. People also forget we needed starters and backups across the board on the line. Both guys signed can play multiple roles if needed so very good depth at a minimum.

I don’t expect any big splash but I will be curious to see who does dive into the deep end of the pool. Cap space is extremely low this year compared to the past. We have the 11th most even after the Moton Tag.

Technically, free agency begins at 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday. As a practical matter, it starts today at noon ET. That’s when the so-called legal tampering process commences. It started several years ago as a vehicle for exchanging offers without striking deals. Common sense quickly prevailed, and the league allowed teams to negotiate with impending free agents and to strike tentative deals. So what now happens is that tentative deals get quickly reached and leaked after noon ET on Monday, primarily since much of the negotiation has happened during the illegal tampering window. Everyone does it, and the league rarely does anything about it. As the deals begin to get reported on Monday and into Tuesday, by Wednesday most of the work already will be done. Last year, for example, 82 of the top 85 PFT free agents had deals in place, or were franchise-tagged, before free agency actually opened. There’s one key caveat to the unofficial free agency period. Either the team or the player can back out before finalizing the deal after Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. ET. It happens rarely, but it’s not unprecedented; Frank Gore once backed out of a deal with the Eagles to sign with the Colts, for example. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/14/free-agency-starts-tomorrow-unofficially/

Our defense could use some vet leadership. We are super young.

Still makes me mad seeing the Saints getting the two 3rd rounders

This is a refreshing new post that I have not seen before. Great choices!

**Two six round picks (spot 221 and 225)** The NFL announced its 2021 compensatory draft picks, which now include special compensatory picks rewarding teams for developing minority coaches and executives. The selections this year are from the third to sixth rounds. With the CBA limiting the number of compensatory selections to the number of clubs in the league at 32, there were seven teams that qualified for a pick but did not receive it in the Falcons, Bears, Colts, Vikings, Eagles, Steelers, and Buccaneers. But only Indianapolis did not receive a selection at all because its free agent lost was ranked 33rd or lower in the formula used to generate picks. The Cowboys have a league-high four compensatory draft picks in 2021, with one each in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth round. Dallas lost Byron Jones, Robert Quinn, Randall Cobb, Xavier Su’a-Filo, and Jeff Heath, and Jason Witten last year in free agency. There were five special compensatory selections awarded at the end of the third round — one for the 49ers, one for the Rams, one for the Ravens, and one for the Saints. Those each stem from another team hiring a minority from their organization to be either a head coach or General Manager. The NFL initially announced an incorrect number for San Francisco’s special selections with two this year instead of one. With Robert Saleh becoming the Jets head coach and Martin Mayhew becoming Washington’s G.M., San Francisco will receive a special compensatory selection for each of the next three years. The Falcons and Packers each have three regular compensatory picks. The Panthers, Bears, Chiefs, Rams, Vikings, Patriots, Saints, and Eagles have two. The Ravens, Chargers, Steelers, 49ers, Buccaneers, and Titans have one. The regular third-round picks went to the Patriots (No. 96), Chargers (No. 96), Saints (No. 98), Cowboys (No. 99), Titans (No. 100), and Rams (No. 101). The special compensatory selections went to the 49ers (No. 102), Rams (No. 103), Ravens (No. 104), and Saints (No. 105). The fourth-round selections went to the Cowboys (No. 138), Patriots (No. 139), Steelers (No. 140), Rams (No. 141), Packers (No. 142), Vikings (No. 143), and Chiefs (No. 144). The fifth-round selections went to the Packers (No. 177), Cowboys (No. 178), Falcons (No. 179), 49ers (No. 180), Chiefs (No. 181), Falcons (No. 182), and Ravens (No. 183). And the sixth-round selections went to the Buccaneers (No. 216), Saints (No. 217), Falcons (No. 218), Packers (No. 219), Bears (No. 220), Panthers (No. 221), Vikings (No. 222), Eagles (No. 223 and No. 224), Panthers (No. 225), Cowboys (No. 226), and Bears (No. 227). Since 1994, the Ravens lead the league with 53 compensatory selections of the 876 awarded. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/10/cowboys-receive-league-high-four-compensatory-draft-picks-in-2021/

He was in the middle of starting three other threads and had to be quick!

If your QB does not have the ability to lift the players around them to get you to the Super Bowl (if you have the talent on the team), you need to keep searching for one who can. Teddy will never be a QB who does this for our team, no matter the talent around him. We all know what his ceiling is.
