It's a sign of desperation.  Teams are overpaying for marginal talent because it's all that's out there.

Gonna need to be masters at the draft to win in this climate.

Unfortunately we don't have that.  We have a Mister instead.

That was one of the ones people were looking at as a consolation prize.

What's left?  Wallace, Moncrief and Matthews?

Is Maclin a FA?

Have heard his name mentioned a few times

As expected. They really couldn't afford to have Lee walk on them after making the decision to let Robinson walk and with Allen Hurns being as injury prone as any WR in the NFL. They'd be one predicable Hurns injury away from having a WR corps every bit as bad as ours was late last year and lacking a QB capable of making up for it.

These are the three names I'm watching.

OMG! That is terrible! You mean the guy wouldn't sign for peanuts or a bag of chips! Just rediculous!

In this environment, honestly that's not terrible. He is coming off of a 700+ yard season and a 800+ yard season. I don't think that level of WR is worth that type of money, but I'd MUCH rather give Lee that contract than give Paul Richardson 5 years/$40M with him coming off of three consecutive seasons failing to reach 300 yards.

Is there any vet LT  we can just sign to a cheap 1 yr deal which would let us  bench Kalil for this next season then cut ties next offseason? I’d rather have his expensive ass on the bench then keep watching him give up sacks and penalties

[LinvilleGorge]

And yet people thought I was crazy for saying that Funchess would get $10M+ per year in this environment...

Relatively speaking, but I'd still call it overpayment.

In Driver's Ed, they always told you that you can be the safest driver on the road and still get killed because someone else is an idiot.

Similar principles apply to NFL free agency.
