I don't think they are Diggs guys who have another level to them that is just being suppressed by situation. You can get away with them as your #1 if you're good at 2 and 3 as well, but I they aren't "that dude". And if you're talking about using that asset on a guy I think is a high end #2 at full market value, I think I'd rather just gamble the rookie on the under market contract, particularly given how well rookie receivers have been translating in recent years. And as far as guys like Higgins / Ayiuk are concerned it also doesn't help that guys like Pittman, Evans, Hollywood, and Ridley are free agents. I think a team would really have to love either one of them to choose to give up a premium pick this year and give them a high end deal when they could just use that pick on a WR or pursue a free agent receiver in the same tier without giving up assets. I could see the Titans trading for Higgins though with Callahan coaching the team and a team like the Patriots being interested in Ayiuk to give their rookie QB a big time weapon to lean on.

I think the Jets would be all over it if they still had their SRP. Can’t imagine them giving up a 1st + eat up most of the cap in a deal, then leave the OL for those later picks. And i doubt SF or Cincy are all that excited about future picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 FA is going to be pretty lame with all this new cap space + teams re-signing their own dudes. Wikings being available is enormous though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wikings being available is enormous though. Could see it resulting in some really silly overpays. If all the premier guys wind up staying because their teams have the money to offer them reasonable deals, could see a world where you're left with mostly second and third tier guys in free agency, but teams like New England and Washington and Chicago still have a ton of money since they don't have their own premier guys to retain, so you wind up seeing like Tyler Boyd or Chase Young somehow get $15M per year contracts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realistically let Jon Greenard walk if it means you bring in Wilkins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 8 hours ago, D82 said: Why not retain Greenard and sign Wilkins if they can? Love me some Greenie, but his injury history is downright scary. Last year was the first time he played more than 12 games in a season, his MO is that he misses a lot of time in-season. If he's willing to sign a 1 year incentive-laden deal to show that he can stay on the field like last year, sure. But after last season when he put up 12.5 sacks? Somebody is going to pay him. I'd prefer to retain Derek Barnett to take over as the starter opposite Will Anderson - Barnett came alive under the Texans, a full season and he could do well as a complimentary rusher.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Is anyone else talking about the extreme possibility that Kirk Cousins might be on the Falcons next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I'm starting to mentally justify spending $10mm AAV on this guy. His upside is incredible, his downside could sink an emerging franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
