buno67 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 People were complaining about Dorsey and his past of signing bad contracts. Seems like he set up a lot of deals that if a player doesn’t pan out, they can be easily cut and replaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztec Hammer Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Epic frontloading of deals in a weak free agent class. Ensures we use the percentage of cap that we needed to whilst building a nice working class talent through the roster that will play hard to try and keep their contract. Also ensures we go into future, stronger free agent classes with lots of money to spend. And finally, keeps us in a good spot to be flexible and adaptable to the wave of second contracts we might have coming up should our numerous young players deserve it.

MWil23 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I'd like to think that it's more like DePo is still the contract/numbers guy and he's the one with the brains. No way is it all Dorsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said all along, a solid GM would/should wait till the team shows improvement next year and actual good FA's want to come to Cleveland before going after big name FA's. Dorsey is just following the true and tried method as to when to spend on FA's and it certainly isn't this year!!! Next year, we will see the big name FA's and spend most of our cap limit.

I can’t say I’m impressed by anything he’s done yet, he’s had more draft capital and cap space than any GM in history (thanks Sashi). I hope he realizes the absurdly wonderful position he’s been given and does this thing right. If we don’t end the 2018 off-season with a slew of ‘19-‘20 picks and hella cap flexibility, I’ll be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know about extra picks in the 2019 draft, but he will have a load of FA money to spend next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see why we couldn’t or shouldn’t have the ‘19 picks. A trade down at 4 for a team thirsty for their QB has been my goal from day 1. Gimme Buffalo’s 12 this year and firsts in 2019 and 2020 and call it good. The hard work was already done by Sashi. All Dorsey has to do is follow suit and he had have his cake and eat it too every year, at least for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap flexibility, maybe as we can eject from most of the deals made so far. Don't think a slew of '19-'20 picks is happening. I will settle for a '19 #1, and I am not confident that will happen, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps because they believe a player at 4 is head and shoulders above all others left on the board, and he would be impossible to get after a trade down and they take him. What a crazy notion!

I could not disagree more, this looks to be a very strong draft. I wish that we had tons of picks in round 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
