Free Agency Thread

Doubt the Dolphins take Patterson now. With the release of Fitzpatrick, the Bills may be going QB. Seems like the Jets would be the only team ahead of us who might take him.

Jets are about to sign Brandon Gibson.

Are you trying to say that Barron and Dashon would not suck in pass D?.....never said our safety tandem didn't blow...but ok...high five...

I don't know a whole lot about Dashon, but Barron was a rookie with a very high ceiling, to think he won't improve is foolish. I'm saying if you expect us to win a shootout with them because their safety's "suck", then you should probably evaluate ours.

Thought this was interesting about the Bills cutting Fitzpatrick. Saved the team 450k on the cap and 10 million in dead money for this season.

Dion Caputi ‏@nfldraftupdate

According to @ClaytonESPN, the #Bills cutting QB Ryan Fitzpatrick results in $10M of dead money; only $450,00 saved. New regime moving on.

Eh, this kind of philosophy is kind of going the way of the running game now. It's a competitive league and you see more and more teams making aggressive plays for their guys to avoid bidding wars early. No decent players slip through the cracks anymore.

Besides, the Panthers have proven time and again waiting for the bottom barrel scum isn't exactly the "smart" play.
