better not be getting a comp pick for Curtis, as that would mean we didn't sign a player for a similar value contract from another team.

and we best be upgrading at some positions, especially after we free up some money by cutting some older players

NYC is is hometown.

 

That's where he will be.

McCaffrey coming back makes him obsolete... can't say this enough. 

This X1000000. Samuel is as good as gone and we cannot afford that luxury with all the other holes we have to fill. 

[Snake]

Samuel is gone and hopefully Moton will not cost too much. Hurney really fuged up both of those situations. We should have had never seen so much home grown talent walk out the door in two years. 

[saX man]

He'll be thrown passes by Justin Fields in Green & White.

Robby Anderson is a one trick pony.  Samuel is a Swiss army knife.  The question shouldn't be if we pay Samuel, it should be do we pay Anderson in when he hits FA.  The simple answer is no, make that determination now and earmark his money towards Samuel this offseason.

I agree with this but I'll take it a step further. Do you want Samuel or Anderson long-term? Extend one of them this off-season. The other has to go. You can't pay them both. Anderson has a $12M cap hit next year, but only $4M in dead money. If you pay Samuel, you can trade Anderson.

You think we will? Someone will pay Samuel.  I assume our money goes to Moton and we draft to fill holes. Free agency splurges feel like something you do when you are close. We aren’t close.

Who’s paying Samuel? Who’s making a splash for a nice third receiver who probably isn’t going to be as successful playing outside against starting corners? I can’t tell if this is another instance of us overvaluing one of our guys or if he’s actually going to have a market. If we all agree that letting him walk isn’t back-breaking and we can replace his production cheaply in the middle rounds of the draft, won’t every other team figure out the same thing?

[45catfan]

Honestly, what kind of contract do you guys think Samuel will be looking for?  Give me years and total dollars.

[45catfan]

We gave Anderson the 3rd most lucrative contract in FA last year among WRs (2-years/$20 million). Sorry, the dude isn't that good and since he got that kind of money before, he's going to be looking for that same kind of money in the future.

I think we are crazy to send Curtis packing this offseason and try to re-sign Anderson after 2021.  Makes ZERO sense to me.

[Hoenheim]

Would be foolish to overpay him when were already forking out cash to mccaffrey. 

[45catfan]

I think Curtis will be looking for a minimum of a 3-year deal worth about $1.5-$2 million per year.  If I'm even close, that's not breaking the bank.

Any way we’d be able to bring on Mike Williams for cheap? I’d love to have to big throw it up WR with all that craftiness and speed we have.
