This isn't true.. Marty was order by Jerry to do those deals . BLAME marty for being a yes man not for gambling on the cap..

Nope.  Marty is the GM, he owns the record, and the bad decisions.

I fully believe that Matt Kalil was a Jerry move as well, but I blame DG for bringing him in, and signing him to that contract.

The GM's own their rosters.

I don't care about making the pro bowl.. Kk made it last year Tre made it this year.. None of us thought they should have.. It don't mean poo anymore...

Did he consistently shut down the best WR in your division??

Yes.. That's all I care about .

I wouldn't say shut down.  Nobody is afraid of Bradberry.  If they threw it the other way, it was because of Donte Jackson not knowing what to do on the other side.  Michael Thomas still beat us up.  Julio did pretty good.

Okay cool .. look up their stats vs Bradberry  and come back to me.. Thomas had a a 100 yards game and a TD the last game of the season other then that game he held the rest under their avg. Production  .

Because we have nothing in the secondary... Again he might be the only quality starting CB on the roster.. We have no replacements and way to many holes to fill besides him..

So pay a guy 15M for one season, on a DEF that will not be good anyhow, so he can walk next year instead. What other FAs are you signing because that’s about a 1/3 of your cap space gone right there. Any plans to improve any other area on the team?

I see a few noting that we keep letting out best people go instead of paying them.  We've got the Bradberry decision to make this year here's the others this year.

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

EDGE Mario Addison
S Tre Boston
CB James Bradberry
DT Vernon Butler
CB Ross Cockrell
CB Javien Elliott
WR Chris Hogan
DE Wes Horton
EDGE Bruce Irvin
DT Kyle Love
DT Gerald McCoy
NT Stacy McGee
G Greg Van Roten
G Daryl Williams

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

T Dillon Gordon 
WR DeAndrew White

*DT Dontari Poe and WR Jarius Wright have team options that can be picked up before the 2020 league year begins. We already said no to Jarius, and letting Poe go gives us most of the money to sign Bradberry if we want.  Nobody else on that list that will cost big money is worth it, and the ones we want to give small raises won't be a problem.  Will be interesting to see how much Van Roten wants, but if it's not much, welcome back.  More than 4 or 5 million, nice knowing you.

 

Now let's look at our free agents for 2021.  

Cam Newton   
Dontari Poe  if we pick up the option  
Christian McCaffrey       Market Value  18 mill per Spotrac.
Mike Davis    
Tyler Larsen    
Curtis Samuel        Market Value   6.5 mill per Spotrac, lower than I thought, but if he has a big year in the new offense with Cam back, it will go higher.
Chris Reed    
Colin Jones  
Chris Manhertz 
J.J. Jansen    
Taylor Moton       
Marcus Murphy    
T.J. Green    
Tyler Marz   
Temarrick Hemingway    
Dominique Hatfield    
Efe Obada    
Corn Elder    
Woodrow Hamilton  
Alex Armah    
Joey Slye    
Cole Luke   
Reggie Bonnafon   
Brandon Zylstra   
Garrett McGhin    
Matt Kaskey      
Ishmael Hyman  
Elliott Fry    
Quin Blanding   
Sione Teuhema  
Aaron Monteiro   
Damion Jeanpiere 

 

so only 3 big decisions.  Moton (pay the man..not left tackle money, but good RT money), Curtis (we'll see)...and Cam, who may not even be on the team this year.

Right now, in 2021, our cap space is already 140 million dollars.

 

So we're actually in pretty good shape as far as big signings go for the next 2 years.  Just Bradberry this year....I think 15 mill is too much but I do want to resign him, and the big 3 next year.  All those other players can sign a good deal or be replaced.  

Now if we get a rookie QB next year, we're in pretty good shape for the next 5 years and can finally start resigning some of our stars and get the foundation that Tepper wants to build.

They key is nailing this draft.  Can't do anything about last year's except hope that our first 2 picks develop.  We can't screw up this draft, especially with no extra picks.

You're right bro.. Let's just suck.. Fully. There is no need to keep Cam.. Or anybody who is overpaid for their production... Play Grier don't sign a dam thing other than 1 year deals.  Plan to be competitive in 2024.. See you then..

[SpeedOFLight]

From the talk of some on this board, we should never pay anyone . Just think about the few bright spots we had on d with Luke and him, and we still had a bad d. Imagine without both....

[45catfan]

....and pass.  I like Bradberry, but he's not worth it.

That's the idea, except for the 2024 thing, I have a feeling they have circled 2023 as the year to see improvement and possibly make a playoff push.

[Palmetto]

Washington didn't learn its lesson i see

Panthers cant be afraid to let players go

I don't see this major team building being done in 3 years with ? Marks in the FO... We aren't going to be perfect in the draft so... get ready for 2024 to 2025 being a okay season.. Right before we have to pay the new QB 40+ mill...lol

Alright we're looking at a 12 to 14% increase.. Sorry if the math isn't perfect but it's still a substantial increase..

I didn't realize we had a Congressman in our midst!

I don't see Bradberry being worth $15M, but that is the number he is trotting out.  I also don't think it is outrageous, but not something I'd sign up to.  That number would have me talking to a couple of other FA CBs, including Jones, provided I was willing to pay any CB (or maybe any FA given our situation) that. 

Now if we can center on something in the $11-12M range (average) with Bradberry, I may hang up the phone.  I see predictions of Jones getting $14M/year.

He does pass my age test for FA signings. 

If the Redskins or somebody else want to give him $15M, congratulate them, wish him well, and move on. 

[45catfan]

I'll take the comp pick next draft.
