Or if you’re a talented team that is up against the cap and can’t afford all of their free agents as has been the case with teams like the Bengals, Ravens, Patriots, Steelers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t afford them all, it’s how guys like Marvin Jones, Kevin Zeitler, Sanu, etc came to leave Cincy. Same applies to a lot of good teams. The Ravens have lost defensive starters for years because they couldn’t match what the payer could receive on the open market (Kruger being just one example). They’ll likely see it this year with a couple of their guys too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll likely see it this year with a couple of their guys too. The Ravens are the perfect example. Ozzie clearly cared a LOT about comp picks, since he often chose to sign guys who were cut versus guys who had their contracts expire. It seems like they always had multiple comp picks every year during the Ozzie regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugpimpen Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Remember that if we sign someone at the same position for similar money, it offsets and we dont get a pick. Down the line this is probably a strategy but our roster isn't there yet and we r wayyyyy to far below the cap to get cheap We can win the division THIS YEAR, re sign who u need too, it won't affect future cap concerns.

brownie man Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 what kind of contract do you guys think Tyrod gets? I'm hoping someone wants to pay him enough for us to hopefully get a 4th round comp pick back that'd be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
