    The switch to baseball is going to be a big jump. Let's see if he does better than Jordan did.
  3. WrigleyField 22
    Millennial athletes are the worst.

    Drop some decent coin on Vinny Curry on a 2 year deal? Probably overrated based on past pedigree, but could Jonathan Cooper be a bargain hunting G for the line? Not a lot of young/good names on the OL market. The D interior is another spot, but looks pretty barren after Suh. ILB has a just a lot of old dudes left. Lot of interesting DB names left, even though that's obviously not a big need now.
  5. WrigleyField 22
    Whoa this is a bad take. Bridgewater on a one year deal, having hardly played since almost losing his leg and 52 year old Josh McCown should have zero impact on s teams drafting a QB.

    We can also hope that this will turn into a Sonny Weaver "Draft Day" ruse. https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ShortQuestionableFruitfly-size_restricted.gif

    I read that as his salary was $18.5 guaranteed in year 4. Is it that by year 4, $18.5 mill is the TOTAL guaranteed over the 4 years? I dont have a good understanding of how to read that. The guarantee looks to be a traditional 18m signing bonus, so it's split 4.5 over each year for the cap hit. Then the annual salary each year gives your total cap hit. So reading the tweet, the difference between cap and 4.5m is the annual, non guaranteed salary. It's "dead" changes by 4.5 each year, basically they amortized the guarantee over 4 years. The way it's structured, many are calling it, effectively, a guaranteed 2/29 contract.

    If it finally fixes the QB position then absolutely. It would be cheap on draft day, if you were specifically trading up for your guy. At this point, they could be trading that for their second or third choice. The Bills, for one, might still look to leapfrog them into number 2.
  9. WrigleyField 22
    Are you talking about the 4th year cap figure or the dead cap?
  10. WrigleyField 22
    Huh, that goes against Hoges tweet earlier.
  11. WrigleyField 22
    18M guaranteed only is awesome.
  12. WrigleyField 22
    Pugh sounds good, but I also want to see a couple more decent rotation pieces at DE, OLB, and ILB, so not sure how much cap space they have to navigate.
  13. WrigleyField 22
    O'Donnell back
  14. WrigleyField 22
    Aaron Lynch to Bears on one year deal Short writeup with some PFF stats included https://www.ninersnation.com/2018/2/25/17051062/nfl-free-agents-2018-guide-aaron-lynch-edge-defender-49ers

    OL and LB definitely. Maybe a DL (even if its just bringing back Unrein). A depth piece at RB couldn't hurt. Maybe backup QB instead of Sanchez. Another TE if you cut Sims. And settling the Fuller issue. OL Depth Leno-Kush/Sowell-Whitehair-Long-Massie Grasu-Morgan LB Depth Floyd-Trevanthan-Kwiakowski-Acho Irving-Anderson-H. Jones
  16. WrigleyField 22
    Well, what do I know.
  17. WrigleyField 22
    I hope most of that isn't guaranteed I bet a decent chunk will be in year one meaning it's easy to walk away from in year 2. This amount shouldn't be surprising based on the market right now, though. Be prepared for Fuller to get at least 13.5 per over 4.
  18. WrigleyField 22
    Gabriel's highlight feel is pretty fun at the very least. Assuming Robinson's healthy return, this team is already much more explosive than last years'.
  19. WrigleyField 22
    Pace has been busy today. OLB and OL still glaring.
  20. WrigleyField 22
    Apparently Gabriel's deal is 4 years, so I'm guessing it will be decent money... far cry from the Wright/Wheaton prove it deals (market seems to be hot at WR). Robinson, Meredith, Gabriel, , White, Bellamy I'm basically counting Cohen as the No 4 WR over White, even though he is obviously the backup RB as well. I think they could stand to upgrade either spot. Bellamy sticks around only as a ST guy, and White is there by default. Assuming Wheaton is cut soon.
  21. WrigleyField 22
    Liking this so far. Need a few more big signings still, so hopefully he isn't done. CB, OLB, OL could all use a relatively big signing leading up to the draft. In other news, Christian Jones to Detroit on a 2 year deal.
  22. WrigleyField 22
    Meredith was tendered, fyi, so baring a stupid offer from another team, he'll be back.
  23. WrigleyField 22
    even Chicago? Yes. They aren't going 16-0. But there's no reason they can't be a 10-6 team. NFL. They aren't going 16-0 or 0-16. Soooo 9-7?
  24. WrigleyField 22
    I know very little about basketball, but Lavine, Dunn, Lauri, Bridges, and Portis seems like a pretty fun line up to watch develop over the next couple years. I want more obviously, but yeah......I think that's a fun group to watch. I want half of them traded for a better player.
  25. WrigleyField 22
    Meh, I'm no more worried about that being the case than I was right after the Butler trade. The Niko situation is ending up to be just about as bad as you could have expected. I'd take him back as a possible flippable asset over the 22-25 pick it's projected at right now. But we had to trade him to save the tank apparently...
