Very smart signing Yes, the net cost against the cap is 137k. Edited March 30, 2021 by oakdb36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what I've picked up on with John Gruden strategy when it comes to offensive skill positions is that he goes after players that he thinks have either been underutilized or misused.

Some of these signings are so insignificant and we are just arguing and arguing about each and every one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who offer specific roles. Snead is pretty average overall, but good at 2 things: being a reliable chain mover + he is known for being a good blocker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfrey13 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I still have issues with what is happening with the team but with these contract terms I can not be upset about this deal. This is a good move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a pretty decent WR ( a solid 3 on most teams) so to have him as a depth piece is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really perplexed 🤔 we're signing very team friendly deals like this one which is great value then we're giving large percentages of guaranteed money to Thomas, then we're throwing money away like it's nobodies business on guys like James and eating 13mil on Hudson........ I have no idea what our fiscal strategy is 😁😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible they could have signed Thomas for the same kind of contract now but they felt a more pressing need in signing him and gave him a better offer to close the deal. I'm not a huge fan of the Thomas' signing and would have been fine waiting for his price to come down or letting him get that money from someone else.

I really, really liked Thomas coming out (but as a pass rushing DT) so even though I'm surprised at the amount if guarantee I think on this occasion it may be worth the risk. Just some deals we seem to be making are very nice and really good value whilst others we seem to be vastly overpaying for guys who I probably wouldn't say are in very high demand.....
