Kirby Drive Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 1 hour ago, Pastor Dillon said: I’m guessing we won’t resign rankins unless it’s at a discount. I really expect a DT in round 1 or 2 I really liked how Rankins played last year. I'm for bringing him back although his injury history bothers me. On the trade front supposedly Jonathan Allen is on the trade market. Would you trade for him if it cost a 2nd rd pick and you had to let Rankins/Greenard walk? I probably would do the trade and re-sign Barnett and draft Darius or Chop Robinson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jch1911 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 played around with https://overthecap.com/calculator/houston-texans Created $84million in cap space by (1) trading WR Robert Woods (or cutting) (2) restructuring Tunsil (3) restructuring Howard That was enough to add (1) RB Saquan Barkley ($10M APY) (2) IDL Madubuike ($16M APY) (3) FS Xavier McKinney ($19M APY) In addition to re-signing, (4) TE Dalton Schultz ($10M APY) (5) LB Blake Cashman ($7M APY) (6) Edge Jon Greenard ($14M APY) (7) bring back CB Shaquil Griffin ($3M APY) With a solid draft class (deep threat WR, swing T, IDL depth, LB depth, CB depth) & vets eager to play in Htown for Demeco... we on to sumthin ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh, his cap hit is $21mm ($23mm in 2025) and his production is really declining. Maliek Collins or Sheldon Rankins are seemingly better for less of a cap hit. If Washington is looking for a late round pick (6th or 7th) I'd think about it. Commanders are ridding themselves of bad contracts and Allen is a bad contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Dillon Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 We don't have big money, it just seems like we do. We have 30 free agents on our team and 8 of them started 10 or more games this season. That means we are pretty well broke or we are signing a couple big contracts and trying to hit on a bunch of 1 year deals again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a few cuts we can make to get a ton more space like Robert Woods if we really needed more room. I expect us to sign 1 big FA and then fill the rest of the roster through FA and the draft. I know Christian Wilkins is the big FA target in FA and would replace Rankins. I wouldn't be surprised if on RB we look at a few guys like Pollard, Swift, and Jacobs if we don't sign Motor. I think guys like Barkley and a few others will price themselves out of what we're willing to pay for RB and we're content with motor if he comes back. I know it's early, but I think we let Nelson walk and draft a CB early (round 1 or 2) as it's a way to get cheaper at the position. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would make me incredibly happy - not only is this guy a disruptive presence inside, he's legitimately one of the funniest guys in football: "I'm not scared of you!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would hurt us in the short term to let Nelson go for a rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could supplement a rookie CB with another low cost vet coming in to platoon - finding another Steven Nelson in essence, Nelson wasn't highly regarded as a CB despite his starting experience with KC and Pitt. Keep in mind, the Texans was his 4th team, he was a journeyman who fit the scheme well and played beyond his reputation in Houston for both DeMeco and Lovie - there are a few FAs who fit this mold and come in cheaper than what Nelson is projected to sign for this year. Akhillo Witherspoon is the sort of guy I'm thinking about... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumberjackchris Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Lions and St. Brown are discussing an extension around 25mil/yr. That looks to be what Nico's value will be IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, trying to avoid that number - Amon Ra has a few years of that sort of production, hopefully that can be factored into our valuation, which would bring Nico down to the $18-20mm range. I honestly think this needs to be the first order of business, extend those who are slated to hit the market in 2025 - with Nico as priority one.
