turtle28 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I’d rather sign Corey Davis or Samuel & save the big contract for Terry next year on an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4209 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Well there is always one and I guess I am that one. I'm in on Golladay. Curtis Samuel or fuller is ok also. But the real question is what about a QB. FA Options for this yr are not good unless we trade for Darnold or Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the real question is what about a QB. FA Options for this yr are not good unless we trade for Darnold or Wilson The problem becomes the cost & the cap. If we give Galloday a Amari Cooper type deal & we keep Scherff, Darby & Jon Allen then are we going to be able to keep Terry by extending him next year or re-signing him as a FA in 2023? Are you prepared to lose both Payne & Ioannidis possibly in 2023 also? There is a domino effect to giving a WR such a huge deal which means we are sure to lose several of our best core players that we’ve drafted and developed or players that played well here last year. If we sign Galloday to a deal that’s going to pay him $22 million in 2023 & we lose Terry & Payne as a result I’m going to be really mad and I’d hope that everyone else would be as well.

I can’t imagine the QB situation is attractive to prospective free agents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Saints franchising Marcus Williams put a big dent in the mock offseason I’ve been working up. It’s ridiculous that they’re $50M over the cap currently and still are permitted to tag this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that’s odd, I’m sure they are going to cut a bunch of players & are reworking deals as speak fo make it work when the league day starts. I still think it makes most sense to sign Malik Hooker on a one year prove it deal like we did with Darby last year. Darby was on a 1-year $4 million deal last year, I’m sure we could get Hooker on something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we don't have $1,000,000,000 for a bailout $3 million for this key reserve player, but yes we have $64,000,000,000 for more tanks $14,000,000 for this ace safety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds of the Company I worked for - President asked the CFO- what's the EPS coming in at this quarter. The CFO said --Well, what would like it be to be ? Voodoo accounting !

I mean, I’m sure eventually the bill comes due, to some degree at least. But what has become pretty clear and obvious at this point is that if you’re good and looking to extend your window of being good, you can largely keep pushing back that judgment day until you’re ready for it to hit — presumably when your window is closed and your rebuild begins, and you aren’t concerned about being able to spend money anyway. Like you say, teams are able to make the cap do what they want it to. Not to say that you can always just go out and sign whomever you want with impunity. But if you’ve got the team, you can pretty much find ways to keep it together, at least the cornerstone guys. No one is letting their true star players hit FA because they’re too cap crippled, even in this highly irregular offseason. You may lose some good players over time — but the idea that we’re going to lose Chase or Terry because of our cap status seems extremely farfetched to me, based on the way every single good team is able to keep their main stars in house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are bailouts (someone taking Wentz contract), retirements (Brees), and other items that seem to help. These voidable contracts seem to help. The piper seems to still be able to be pushed back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they did a superlative job last year . ( hope it wasn't all Kyle ! ) Maybe one big signing would be good , a W R or LB . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
