I guess some players are more impressed by rosters than facilities...



Bill Jandro -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/15/2021 3:18:10 PM)

Some of the top guards still out there:
- Gabe Jackson
- Trai Turner
- Lane Taylor
- Austin Blythe
- Richie Incognito
- Nick Easton
- James Carpenter
- Senio Kelemete
- John Miller
- Brian Winters
- Forrest Lamp
- Ethan Pocic

Big money and Mahomes. Tough to compete with that.

Gabe Jackson? Lane Taylor? Draft Slater?

And by getting paid $16 million a year. No way Spielman came close to that kind of money.

While none of these guys are on Thuney's level, we can certainly find a major upgrade to Dozier at significantly less than $16 mil a year.

#Lions are re-signing Romeo Okwara to a 3 year, $39M contract. Okwara back to Detroit! A solid pass rusher now off the market.

(Goat House on Twitter)

Lawson probably looking for at least 13M per year.


Tall cotton!

We pay him more (per year) than Hunter and things could get real interesting.

Doesn't seem that much considering Elflein got $4.5M/yr for 3 years.

That Elflein signing may have set the bar WAY higher than it should have been. Unless teams start running out of money.

In no way shape or form can we afford Joe Thuney


Yes they can....times the 12 million by 3. I wouldn't be surprised to see Stephen cut (Another 3.5 million). You spread the signing bonus over years of contract. So Thuney 10 million signing bonus over 5 years..you could make it easily under 4-5 million cap hit.

Signing bonus 10
1 3
2 4
3 4
4 4
5 5

Cap number about 5 million

Guys are going to be looking for big signing bonuses. Thuney will be looking at minimum 30M on a signing bonus.

Also need 7-8ml for rookie pool.


Keep that under wraps, people are having too much fun in dreamland.



Bruce Johnson -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/15/2021 3:36:19 PM)

Spielman showing restraint. There could be benefits to that.

The stuff you are posting shows we are in the mix for several player. "In the mix" meaning the faxed offer went through.

So there is no restraint on Spielman's part.

The restraint is being REJECTED and the offers LAUGHED at.

One can always hope Bill. First things first.....get more cap space....cut Stephen, restructure Smith and add a year.



Bill Johanesen -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/15/2021 3:41:12 PM)

And I believe RS has to sign players and still be below the cap (not sure on this for today onward). So the restraint is built in, probably offering a pittance.

Oh, restructure now... says the anti-add a year poster. And those first things should have already been done for even suggesting the likes of Thuney.

Anyway, the Thuney contract was in another atmospheric layer. I suggest you get your eraser out.



Mark Anderson -> RE: Free Agency 2021 (3/15/2021 3:44:36 PM)

Mahomes has a 7M cap hit for 2021.

Then it is anywhere from 35-52M for the remainder of his contract.

Thuney's contract is top 5 of all OL!

I think we can do one big signing. Lawson or Griffin.

Then probably bargain shopping.
