So far after the initial disappointment of the 1st day of free agency I've been pleasantly surprised with Reggie's moves. I just hope he doesn't screw up the draft.

I'm still waiting on the actual $$ but the Melton deal sounds like it could be reasonable. I'd hate for them to give big money to a guy coming off a major injury, but he's performed well under Marinelli and they definitely needed him. I'd much rather have him than Allen or Hatcher.

This is where I'm at. Losing Veldheer without any replacement sucks so hard, and it's probably going to become blatantly obvious very soon that it was a dumb as poo poo decision, but there's been like 10 other signings I've loved. I like Boothe for depth, and hope he's not penciled in to start, but all the d-line and secondary signings have been great.

Sign Marshall Newhouse for the minimum. You could do much worse.

Word is it's a one-year deal for relatively little, but he gets a big bonus if he's on the roster in 2015, and there can be up to 3 more years.

It looks like one 3 year option as opposed to 3 one year options. If Melton does well he probably makes bank, if he doesn't he goes back to being a UFA next year and the Cowboys don't add any more dead money

Hand Row posted:Was his lawyer brother an idiot story bunk?  The only other thing I've read is that they low balled him:quote:Veldheer’s camp made an initial offer to stay in Oakland. According to an NFL source, the Raiders responded with a five-year contract worth $30 million with $10 million guaranteed. Veldheer countered, but the Raiders believed the gap was too wide. The NFL source said Raiders didn’t budge. Not then, not ever. I was more concerned about Houston myself cause they have even less depth on that side of the line (and still do even after the signings). If they made an offer I'm guessing it would've been valued as a DT or left rather than right DE, which is what he/his agent was probably looking for.

The Texans have signed their first free agent that wasn't on their team last year, Jerrell Powe, who has played like 10 games in his three year career. But he's a massive dude who can play NT I guess so whatever. Chiefs fans are sure to be  about losing him

DangerKat posted:Not that much. Yeah, Newhouse was kind of a turnstile in pass protection when he got in. He was ok against power rushers, but speed rushers seemed to blow right past him. There's a reason he wasn't starting over a 4th round rookie at LT last year after Bulaga went down, or over a 2nd year undrafted FA at RT. Good luck, whoever signs him. He's depth, not a starter.

If they don't come out of the draft with a good WR, I'd say it's a trade worth making even if they have to restructure contracts to make it happen. They're going to be getting a lot of comp picks and the Alex Smith trade will finally be over. Would think at least Bowe would re-do his deal if it meant getting a player that would draw coverage away from him.

quote:@RapSheet: Terms for Henry Melton’s #Cowboys deal: 1st year, $5M. If he’s on roster Day 1 of ’15, 3 years kick at $8M per year, $9M guaranteed for ‘15 quote:@RapSheet: What does that mean? If Melton plays like he did in 2012, he’ll have a deal that becomes four years worth $29M with $14M guaranteed by 2015 Yeah I get why Emery didn't match that contract now.

See I have actually heard talk about Clemons, specifically in relation to the Ravens, plenty of talking heads have mentioned his name. My uninformed guess is that teams are waiting for him to realize his limited value before entering talks. Decoud is just a non entity. I know he was bad recently but the guy is one year removed from a pro-bowl season. I feel like if I stared Adam Schefter dead in the eyes and said Thomas Decoud he would walk right through me like I was a ghost.

How could the Patriots afford DJax? They have very little cap space left after the Edelman signing (4 yr $17m 5m signing bonus, only had $7m in room without counting that). A trade would probably require a new contract (which seems like any team would need) and letting Wilfork walk, yeah?

The Bears could easily make more moves. Just that doing them would add dead money to Cutler's contract after year 3. They also Cut Earl Bennett, and forced Weems to take a pay cut. But yeah. Depending on whatever the hell the Bears are doing on Defense this year. I would have been cool with that Deal for Henry Melton.

Trading Amendola and a draft pick to the Eagles would not help. No team will take on his contract because they don't think he has a working groin. On top of that, trading Amendola would count 650k AGAINST the cap, from what I understand. It would be the exact opposite of helping. There are like NO options for them outside of DJ saying he will take far less, which is very unlikely. Edit: Of course they could straight out cut Vince, get no one to fill in the space, then maybe not have to ask DJ to lower his salary by too much. In all likelihood, Amendola is here for 2014.

BlindSite posted:I would be really happy with avant in Carolina. He's nothing special but at least he's experienced enough to recognise coverage and sure handed enough to bail cam outta trouble. Maybe in the coming days when the britt and cotchery stuff cools down. The Panthers were the first thing I thought of, honestly... but then I realized they already have a couple 500 yard guys. The problem is they don't have a 1000 yard guy and god drat do they need one. Then again, I think Avant could be more than a 500 yard guy in Carolina just because he could be a safety valve for Cam. Avant is very reliable for a quick 5-10 yard catch over the middle or on an out route. Fenrir fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Mar 19, 2014 |

Alright, alright... 300 yard guys. Either way, point being, they could probably get Avant for a good price and probably should. e: I'm still shocked that they didn't go after James Jones. Then again, I'm just surprised that Jones didn't even make 4m/year. I figured someone would have overpaid by quite a bit. I kinda expected him to go for at least 6m/year by a desperate team but it seems sanity somehow took over the NFL in this FA season. Fenrir fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Mar 19, 2014 |
