twotonebluenation Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Seeing Arizona trade for Hopkins, I am like I hope we make a big splash. We need a big time playmaker. I dont know where it is coming from, but we need to be bold this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to get more in a few years apparently. If he would have went 6 years. That could have been more like $60 million guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanLegend Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Conklin's deal was solid to begin with, now looks like an absolute bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh I would say no. He’s a good player but we need to add more speed to the secondary. If he wants to take a discount then fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGO127 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'm actually really bummed we did not sign Conklin. Maybe he wanted to be closer to Michigan? IDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to add on 2 more years to Conklin deal to compare. . At Conklin's rate his deal would have been closer to 5-$70/75 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragevsuall17 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Looking at the team, cap wise... we're going to have to do something to create additional cap room. Currently we sit with a little under 30M in cap space... and when consider $5M+ of that is currently pooled to our rookies, we have about 23M left to spend on FA. We still have to look at RT, Edge, CB, backup RB, backup QB, and general depth. Some of those will certainly be filled in the draft, and even if we were to shy away from any splash signings, that's quite a bit we need. Say we sign a guy like Kelly at RT, a guy like Fackrell at Edge, and a mid tier slot guy... we're looking at around 15M right there... they can get creative and push that number down to 10M (very creative). I don't know if they're going to want to go with a rookie QB, so we're looking at a vet, and those guys aren't vet min type guys... so another 4-55M for a decent one (and we have to considering how much we have tied in to RT, and when you look at his recent injury history). That leaves very little wiggle room for additional depth, but getting guys in that tier of players (Kelly/Fackrell/etc), means you don't go into the draft with specific needs. Those guys can start if needed, and we'll be ok if we have to bypass the position in the first couple of rounds. And those type of players are also valuable as backup/rotational pieces, as we've seen. Anyway, looking at the roster, you just don't see much flexibility. Daquan maybe can be restructured... a cut is unlikely, but that would give us an additional 6M. He was good, but with both Casey and Simmons looking healthy going into the season, it may be a luxury we can't afford (especially since he offers little to no value in the pass rush department). The only other move that could give us some wiggle room is Butler... gives us an additional 7M. But then you have to go out and sign a starting level CB, and you're going to have a hard time finding someone like that at that price.

Why is Conklin a deal and then other guy isn't? Conklin is getting paid at a higher rate is he not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamc89 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Veterans who have been with your team 4 years or longer get a 1.5 million salary exemption towards the cap I still can’t believe no one is talking about this in the new cba.

twotonebluenation Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I think we should make an attempt at Amari Cooper. Someone on the opposite of AJ could really help Tannehill and Henry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
