It will take whatever money they had thought about for Williams and more. He was on a 4/$57M deal. Just an outside guess is it would take 4/$72M. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 I would like to see the guarantees but that is probably a little more than I would have liked to have paid. Quote

One lions beat writer thought he would get 3/24 on the market. This comes in under that and only a 2 year deal with the cap expected to jump considerably. I like the deal. Short and of fine value.

Hongbit Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 I thought this defense was terrible last year and needed a number of upgrades going forward. I’m not sure what I’m missing but apparently the team thinks otherwise since they have been resigning so many of the same players. I honestly don’t get it. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 I thought he would have signed something like 3/27 on the open market, which I also think would have been an overpay. I think $7M is a fair price for an average starting edge rusher, but I like the length a lot. Keep it short and hopefully easy to get out of if he does turn out to be a one-year wonder. Quote
Motown Bombers Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Not every player on the defense was bad and the only two they signed of note were Walker and Harris who were decent last year. Quote

They have signed the guys that actually played well. Harris and Walker were guys I wanted to keep. Anzalone is on a backup deal. The real infusion will come from the draft. They have done nothing to stunt the rebuild and have kept good players that have bought into the direction of the team. Holmes is doing a really nice job. Edited March 15, 2022 by TP_Fan Quote
Stanley70 Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 I love the Chark signing, they needed a speed guy desperately. I preferred him over Kirk anyway. I'm glad Holmes didn't do much on crazy day yesterday. And I don't hate the Reynolds deal anymore after seeing the terms. Basically if he remains a 4th receiver he'll get like 2 million a year. I originally thought the Reynolds deal would preclude a contract like this. Quote
Hongbit Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Harris and Walker we’re both decent last year. I’m not opposed to signing these guys back but they also need to add additional playmakers that can step in now and improve the defense. Keeping the the same guys without adding is just running it back with the same crappy defense. Quote

I’m not sure what I’m missing but apparently the team thinks otherwise since they have been resigning so many of the same players. I honestly don’t get it. I think the upgrades are coming, likely mostly through the draft. We couldn't just abandon the entire defense because they were bad though. Harris was decent last year, as was Walker. Above replacement value at least, and those are the only two who have received starting money (and not even playmaking starting money at that). The players who were re-signed at or below replacement level (Anzalone, Dion Hamilton, Elliott, Woods, and Moore) received depth or fringe starting money, which is fair. The hope for them is likely that they won't be put in a starting role unless there are injuries. Guys like Anzalone probably won't be a starter on a playoff team, but can be a very serviceable backup or rotational player. Quote
TP_Fan Posted March 15, 2022 Author Posted March 15, 2022 Cowboys announced randy Gregory deal to stay in Dallas, not long later it turns out Gregory is signing with the broncos. Hilarious. Quote
Stanley70 Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 I didn't think they would go after Harris because the have Romeo Okwara coming back. And they are in a position to draft Hutchinson if he falls, or Thibodeaux. Plus Julian was kind of coming on last year towards the end of the season. Maybe they feel Hutchinson won't fall, or they have their eyes on someone else at 2. Quote

He is in no way a sure thing next year. Quote
