2022 NFL Free Agency

[Kray007]

As far as QB is concerned, when you’re fishing for tu*ds in a toilet, you might as well let the other guys reel in the whoppers.

I still prefer Jimmy because of experience

But honestly any QB coming in here is set up for success with Taylor and this o line

I think that’s a little bit much.

Having said that, I REALLY hope Ballards got more of a plan than wait around until SF lowers their asking price for Jimmy G.

I actually like this signing. He seems like a decent corner. This is how Ballard builds a team. My issue with Ballard is different. I have agreed with him pretty much up to this point. But now is the time to spend on free agency. We don't have the resources to attack the number of holes this team has otherwise. If we don't plug a few holes with good players in these next few days it won't sit well with most of us.

I don’t have an issue with this signing or really any of the other team friendly one years deals. The problem is that’s the extent of the signings. This is just how Ballard expects to use free agency and that limits the quality of the player you can expect to sign. As you said - it’s not enough to fill the holes.

I’m hoping Watson doesn’t pick the Saints and we can get Armstead

I’d like to believe that’s what the Colts are waiting on

IMO landing Armstead is the most important play at this point

GB is trading Adams to McDickface for their 1st and 2nd rounders. Also, Allen Robinson to LAR .

Hopefully you're right on Armstead, but most likely Ballard's actually waiting on all of the good FA to be signed so he can bargain shop for a player or 2 then hoard the rest of the ridiculous amount of cap space we have

Many of you, I can tell, are not finance guys at all.

Can't just go to Walmart and shop for players


I have wanted to spend shit tons of money on things and then run it by Smitty and he says NO

I am not a finance guy. I want what I want. But there is a line you cannot cross. That's why you have those guys.

Those guys are not fun to talk to about spending, but mostly they are right.


It's like a diet. Don't eat more than you can burn

Ballard is not cheap. He has a Smitty

Excellent post.
