The 2020 Free Agency Thread...
-
In other MAJOR QB News...
Brian Hoyer is once again a Pat... 3rd stint with the team.
Probably deserved its own thread...
-
Actually saw part of a couple of his games... wild, little kid there, but not without promise. Problem I have is him being too different from his starter.
Perfect spot for him would have been AZ behind Murray... but Teddy? Not feeling that, too much of a style difference for my taste.
Above is one of the reasons I like Keenum behind Baker... similar QBs.
And as far as I know we still have Garret Gilbert on the roster. Wondering if the plan is to retain him as 3rd string.
Another question in that regard: When does this roster expansion happen under the new CBA. This year, or not until the following year when they go to 17 games. Expanded roster would let you keep a 3rd string QB active perhaps.

I thought i read that the new CBA mandated all teams must activate 8 OL-man every game..Most used 6-7 (+1).. Were activating 1 FB (+2).. JOJO is a return specialist (+3)... Bonus--Two TE sets may need 4 activated... Gilbert needs to run the practice squad..or he won't see many meaningful reps with 2 learning a new offense. Gilbert needs reps, even if he scripts next weeks opponents QB plays..Lamar not so much..

Skins traded Dunbar to the Seahawks for a 5th. When you have a chance to receive a third-day pick for a borderline All-Pro, you do that deal!
So they have back the pick they traded away for Kyle Allen.. they essentially traded Quinton Dunbar for Kyle Allen....
To be clear, Quinton Dunbar was the second-highest PFF grade in 2019 for any CB.

.. The Colts once carried the most cap space of all teams not long ago... they added Rivers & Buckner..and paid Castonzo & C Ryan Kelly.zip down to under 20M in cap left.. in the last week they have cut Pierre Desir, signed by Jets.. Colts also cut former browns BBC & Kai Nacua... Berry & Grigson may want to see if the Colts are willing to trade DT Denico Autry.. Autry is a run stuffer with 25 career sacks.. has a cost of 5M this season... than could go free agent from Colts in 2021..

Higgins is still floating around in free agency like a Cheerio in the milk. With the draft being a good WR draft, he may remain floating about until the draft ends.
I'm assuming that Berry & Stefanski have no huge interest in him right about now.

te ricky seals-jones is going to sign with the chiefs as of several hours ago.
crap.

One more weapon for Mahomes to find. Damn I wish we had kept him.

However will we replace his 14 catches?
Oh wait...

Hopefully it was a non tight end centered offensive scheme at the heart of the problem. Would be nice to see that change.

Could be Steve...
... but then I'm not sure what the "center" of our Offense was last season.
Did we have one?

Rams Traded WR Brandin Cooks and a 4th rounder to Houston for a 2nd
Bill O is going all in on a season that might not happen...
HOU is now down to a 3rd,
2-a 4ths, a 5th and 3-7ths...EDIT: scratch one of the above 4ths... the one the Rams gave up is a 2022 pick.
For a pretty good WR Cooks sure has been traded a lot... looks like a cap casualty this time.
Brandin Cooks Traded To Houston For 2nd Round Pick
In another move to free up much-needed cap space, the Los Angeles Rams traded Brandin Cooks to the Texans. The Rams will receive the 57th overall pick in this years draft, and the Texans will also get a 2022 fourth-round pick.
In 2018, the Rams acquired Cooks from the New England Patriots in exchange for a first-round pick. They then signed him to a five-year, $81 million contract before the season. His impact was immediately felt and Cooks played a central role in LA’s road to the Super Bowl. In 2018, he set career bests in yards (1,204) and catches (80). Cooks saw a decline in production in 2019, he caught the fewest passes in his career (42) and fewest yards (583) since his rookie season.
The Rams have had to make some drastic moves when it comes to creating cap space. A harsh reality that has come to a head this off season. The Rams declined to make offers to Dante Fowler and Cory Littleton. They also cut Todd Gurley and Clay Matthews. Creating the space has left the depth chart looking like swiss cheese, but it is a brutal step in the right direction as they find themselves $541,000 over the cap, according to spotrac.com

Rams payroll in 2020 and 2021 includes the following dead money:
Todd Gurley 20.15 M // Brandin Cooks 21.8M
Whoever is managing their cap.... shouldn't be.
Yes, it was a good job to dump Cooks -- but the problem was signing the deals with these players in the first place.
