3rd round pick.....Zona might be a real good team this year

 

Josh Adams RB - resigned with Jets 1 year, according to Connor Hughes.

Not earthshaking enough for it's own thread.

 

Not really. Teams often put it out there that they're looking to drop a player to get teams to call and make offers. Raiders are cash strapped and have to get out from this guys deal. Almost any trade helps the cap hit a little bit. Rams were in the same boat with Brockers and gave him away for a 7th round pick.

 

Actually from what I was reading they would lose space against the cap by releasing him. Wasn't cap related. Really sucks we couldn't land him, that one hurts. Would have happily given up a 3rd.

 

Glad we didn't trade for Hudson.

Love the player, but he's 31. Let's try get some young players with our picks.

IQ, I was

Experts have no stake if they are wrong. Douglas and Salat do. Heck they haven't even measured Wilson yet.

 

I might have done it too with the lower 3rd round pick, but that's pretty steep for a 31 year-old player even one as great as Hudson. Will he play 5 more years? If so, and will sign an extension before his contract is up in 2022 then he's worth it, but if he only plays 2 seasons and then wants to test FA or retire, then it's not worth it imo.

 

He's 31. JD wants young players. He's building. His pants are not on fire.

No need for flaming pants but even for a couple of years at a good price would be beneficial while grooming a rookie. For just a 3rd rounder especially.

 

Unless...







... he's not planning on drafting a rookie QB.

 

I meant grooming a new OL but yes there is that lurking possibility. If we don't get Watson and don't draft a rookie...

 

This is amazing

 

...it will likely mean that JD and Saleh didn't think trading a boatload of picks and players for Watson or drafting any of the available QB's up high was a good move at this point in the build.

 

It's reality.

Owner driven free agent binges are among the leading causes of bad teams staying bad.

 

totally agree. it's just the numbers are way higher and the results way worse than even i suspected.

 

question for cap nerds. when we're seeing 3 teams still over does that take into account that teams will need space for the draft?

i suspect there are still teams -- like the raiders -- seeing if they can get a 7th for Henry Anderson type deals

 

It's all Darrelle Revis fault. He coaxed Woody into a binge-spending death spiral at least twice.

 

I like the conviction. As long as he doesn't blow out his knee in training camp or something we'll get to see how it turns out.
