I think I'd once again cream myself if they signed Gary or Sweat. Young would be a decent pick up if the money was right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have $20m projected in cap Josh Allen - a tad overhyped imo. Jags have cap and may retain him I don't expect most of those guys to actually hit the open market, but we need to find a way to get one of them.

Burns i see no way of hitting the open market. He’ll be a FT candidate if he doesn’t sign a monster extension. Young I’d say is likely to make the market. How he does this year both production and health-wise will determine if he’s getting a long term deal or shorter prove-it deals. Either way, it’s a lot of money for Washington to have invested in their DL. Montez Sweat gets the priority from Washington in this scenario. Hunter i could see hitting the market. He wanted out of MN last offseason and wasn’t happy with the FT. Ended up singing a one year deal with them. I don’t believe it has a FT protection clause in it, however. He’s on the older end and MN is not exactly a power house right now. Gary i see GB re-signing if they can afford him. Allen idk enough about to really have an opinion.

CBears019 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 What qualities do you look for when looking for a GM candidate? Background at a successful franchise? Experience at multiple franchises? Playing experience? Age? Scouting experience? Erni acorsi approved? I wonder if you go through all the successful GMs if you can find some sort of formula, or is it just luck? Granted there’s so much about these guys that were simply not privy to that goes out during interviews and background checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever does hit the open market has to become our top defensive FA priority because the DE draft class isn't shaping up as well as hoped for.

I'm a big believer it's not just one guy...sure the final decision falls on most GMs but it would be impossible to cover everything...just not enough hours in the day...for me connections are super important...who else can you bring with you to support the process?...

It delays how soon he can make that megadeal he will get if he is half as good as he should be. And hell, Bryce is making $6.2 million this year while Caleb is making about half of that with his NIL deal. So make half in 2024 via NIL compared to rookie pro salary (he'll likely be able to get a bit more but he isn't matching that, then make less every single year of your pro career because you started late? On top of missing out on getting over $20 mil paid in a lump sum that year? Sure. Sounds like a winning formula to "make more money" in college. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just need to stop. Denver has Payton and a good history. Chicago has this market and a great fan base. Minnesota has Jefferson and his #1 WR from college. Vegas is Vegas + the no state tax thing. He's going to leave USC and be the #1 pick no matter what. Jamokes said the same thing about Burrow: "he'll never play for the crappy Bengals!!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
