wtf, man?

[Bronn]

I quit following the situation as closely when it was made known that we're not cutting Torrey Smith and we re-signed Colin Jones.

But, according to OverTheCap we only have just over $15 M in cap space right now.

We'll need $9-10 M or so in space to sign rookies. So, as it currently stands, we only have about $5 M for free agency.

Are we literally not going to sign ANYONE outside of our own guys?

Are we rolling the dice with the Daryl Williams situation and hoping he comes back for cheaper than he was originally asking before we cut ties with Kalil? Are we seriously going to keep Matt Kalil?

I know more moves can be made to make some space. But, all indicators are that we'll once again do basically nothing to improve the team from last year other than draft people.

What in the actual fug? Where is our owner, that was espousing all this "being competitive" stuff? If you don't work to get better before the draft, you're hedging your bets on what you can get out of the draft.

I've never gotten into the whole MH vs. DG debates that occur here, but right now Hurney is looking pretty bad from a GM standpoint.

I'm assuming a lot of it is still Rivera, which is a problem that should have been corrected before now, too.

Am I overreacting? I swear, over the years, this team has taken years off my life, lol.

stopped caring about free agency years ago

 

it’s like watching paint dry from here

Matt Kalil ate everything in sight, including our cap space.

But but our owner, man.

We need to clean house.

It has to be a great environment if you're an average veteran looking to ride out the waning years of your career in mediocrity. But, if I was a young guy or a stud like Cam or CMC, that wanted to win, I would look elsewhere the first chance I had.

[Wanderlai]

Crazy how contender teams have room to sign guys but we are always left eating the same old bologna sandwich every season 

[SOJA]

This is what happens when you consistently "get the band back together" and make splash signings that flop: Donatri Poe, Matt Kalil 

[Waldo]

I guess Kalil is healthy and Smith is feeling young again....LOL. I'm ready for the house cleaning and if it takes one more sad year, it's a price I'm ready to pay. I dont mind not signing giant contracts on overpriced FAs but the plan so far is infuriating and I'm ready Booo them out of town.

[Unionpanther]

At this point I want us to tank it for 2 years, and get Lawrence out of clemson lol

[Cpt slay a ho]

So far only disappointed in not releasing kalil, that’s about it, if we don’t grab a fs to pair with Reid that’ll be strike 2.

Every year, these threads never get old.

Thank for reminding myself how intelligent I am.

Initially, I believed Tepper about building a winner...  now, i think his initial/sole focus is revamping the business and logistics side before he addresses anything else...  as if we're not operating in a business that is determined by wins and losses.  I don't like it.

[Trill OG]

The sad part about not having no cap room is we have a ton of holes to fill on defense. We losing our own FA's and not signing anybody to replace them yet.

For the people who say we don't spend that is false. We spend we just pick the wrong guys Kalil/Poe to spend on. Then we give loyalty contracts to Olsen/TD even though they are pass their prime. Those contracts add up and it puts you in the situation we are in now.

Yeah, you sound really smart...

Until Tepper realizes that Rivera and Hurney suck get use to the same old stuff. Can't expect success with this setup.
