Don’t forget the 23 dead cap is a big reason why we started tight. That all trims way back and we’ll be looking at having one of the largest cap space amounts to work with. 

That being said, would be nice to bring in min 1 legit target this year with some rookies.

Most, if not all, of those players other than Evans are likely to never hit Free Agency, and when Evans does, he's well past his prime.

Wrong!!

Juedy, Pittman, Aiukey and Higgins could out price their teams.. Cowboys aren’t in a great cap situation either..

I'm thinking that Tee Higgins will definitely want to test the market. Jeudy, depending upon how his year goes with the new regime may want to try his luck and get paid elsewhere. It hasn't gone too well in Denver. Honestly, all these guys except for Lamb, Jefferson and maybe Pittman may become available because they're not necessarily even considered ones. As such I don't think they'll likely be tagged. I mean, who wants to pay a two or three, or someone aging (like Evans) top tier money? I guess that Higgins could get tagged because he really could be a one masquerading as a two. But I don't think that the market will be as dry as you think. Some of these guys (maybe even Pittman) are probably going to have a helluva season to get tagged. Otherwise, I see them testing the market.

Higgins sticks out to me because Benglas can’t keep both him and Chase and Higgins wants to prove he is WR1. Why not Carolina?

I would try to make a trade for him now because with him only a year away from FA, the asking price should be lower and you don’t have ti overbid in signing him in FA

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
