Taylor Moton: Ranked 19th overall, first offensive tackle. They compare his likely deal to Ja’Wuan James four-year, $51 million contract and Jack Conklin's three-year, $42 million signing. I assume that he'll get something around there or we'll tag him.

Curtis Samuel: Ranked 28th overall, 8th wide reciver, after A Rob, Godwin, Golladay, JuJu, Corey Davis, Will Fuller, and T.Y. Hilton. They basically say what we know about him: he's fast, versatile, and his performance can be greatly improved or diminished by how the coaches use him. If someone gets obsessed, he might get paid, if everyone else finds a place, he might not. 

I'm very interested in what Samuel's market is going to be. It's a free agency and a draft heavy in wide receivers. As with Bradberry, he's a second-rounder who's made good, and losing both him, the opportunity cost of that pick (sunk cost, I know), and the cost of whatever it takes to replace him really hurts. I know it's unlikely, but I hope we can find a way to hold onto him. 

I wouldn’t worry yet about the FA WRs. I can’t imagine most of those guys listed will even see FA at all. Samuel could have a lot more demand because again I don’t see many from that list who won’t be resigned. I don’t those teams cap numbers but ARob, Fuller and Golladay are the number 1s and JuJu, Hilton and Godwin are key WRs but their are other WRs if those teams don’t want to pay them. Godwin is likely extended so that leaves JuJu and Hilton. JuJu hasn’t really been as effective as the lone #1 without Brown the past two years and Hilton is 7 years older than Samuel.

I think after teams resign their guys Samuel could be the most coveted WR actually available.

If we can get Taylor 12 mill a year, I say we do it.  But it may all come down to how much he wants to stay.  A team with loads of cash could offer 14 or more a year.  

Terrified of the Colts going after him with how much money they have and Castanzo more than likely going to retire after his most recent injury.

Don't think you have to worry.  Reading between the lines, I get the strong impression that, at worst, they will franchise him.  No way they let him go this offseason.

while many of you wont let go of beating the skins, I cant let go of signing shaq instead of bradbury

marty should have gotten fired for that alone...for losing josh as well

Good CB's are so hard to get

If I remember correctly, Bradberry refused to negotiate with us. He wanted to leave in FA.

Yep but I will not disclose it on here. The page before references a possible source “Eisen”.

DM me.  I don't think that James ever said that he didn't want to be here, but I could have missed it.

I'm talking about before he left, not after.
