It means they get the money right now, which I think is always preferable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember that happening all that much. Pernell McPhee with Baltimore (went to Chicago, came back) Za'Darius Smith and the Ravens (almost, before he backed out then signed with MIN) I feel like it happens all the time but we don't know how many teams really "fail" at extending guys vs. just letting them hit FA and then after a while they come back.

I think he meant how often do they re-sign that year after actually getting to hit the market. I think it's probably not crazy for mid tier guys who could fall through the cracks but players in demand it seems like you never see that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jimmy Smith actually did this with Baltimore a couple of years back. We let him test FA and then he re-signed with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingo is tied to him somehow and obviously Mcafee. But the Schefters and Raps are not in that circle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notthatbluestuff Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Supposedly a push from inside Houston's building to sign Jimmy Garoppolo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy idea here.. draft Anderson at 2, trade up from 12 to 5 or 6 and get Levis/Richardson and sit them for a year behind Jimmy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there’s a lot of chatter here too. Jimmy G has ties to both Caserio and Ryans, it makes sense. If this turns out to be the decision, I suspect both Young and Stroud are not options. Texans probably go with Will Anderson, then see if one of the QBs falls to 12 (or past 6-7, and trade up). If that doesn’t happen, it’s likely BPA (Christian Gonzalez opposite Derek Stingley would be a nice pairing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember that happening all that much. IIRC, Julian Edelman, Dont’a Hightower and Devin McCourty did just that. Three Patriot legends. They usually let them shop to find out their market and then have a conversation after that. I believe Bill actually outbid another team (Eagles/Giants? I don’t remember) for McCourty to keep him around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, that's how most negotiations should go, but teams get afraid of losing someone they don't want to, and players get in their feelings they didn't get what they want.
