Thaiphoon Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Since the safeties are inflated this FA, hopefully Ha Ha signs a contract with AAV of around $12m. That gives us a 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sign guys for not too much $. The ones that are gonna break the bank they let walk. Then they pocket the comp picks for them. Right now, they have 2x 3rd rounders and a 6th. This is how they keep the cupboard stocked and also allows them to move up to grab a guy if they need to. And they pick up reclamation projects. And trade for guys on expiring contracts to double their chances in the FA market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice ... but I don't think we're that lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo! It's not hard to play this game guys. You just need discipline to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any sensible GM knows that if you have a capable QB in house, you do whatever you can to keep that player in house as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been doing this every year. And no small wonder why they always seem to have great depth. I mean, they are the gold standard. In a copycat league, why not copy this?

Doc Draper Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Exactly. Their coaches develop the lower round draft picks, just like we used to do when we had great coaches- it’s been almost 40 years from the the last Century since we’ve had a top tier coaching staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
