Clayton Tune Hendon Hooker Jarren Hall I like as potential starters type of deal I don't trust none of the available QBs that are veterans to be too much different from Dalton. I believe they run it back with him fully healthy cheap and see what happens. And the Kid from Shepered University my uncle coached there and played I seen him play he chose to go back to Shepherd instead of transferring out. He could be "small school prospect" with alot if potential. Joe Montana and John Kuhn played in the same division/conference as Shepherd random WV facts.

Any team can almost always sign any player who is available to them under the salary cap if they move enough money around. But moving that money around requires restructuring others players contracts, which gives those other players more guaranteed money and more dead cap costs if cut in the next couple years. That in turn reduces roster flexibility, if you can't cut a player who underperforms or doesn't fit the system because the cost is too much, you can't take the money you were spending on that player and go get another who has been delivering the type of performance you would be paying for or who may better fit your system. So yes, you can go get DeShaun Watson who did a bunch of crimes or Derek Carr who your 7-10 team shut out. But the team you build around them will be Andrus Peat and Michael Thomas and their big TE receiving threat will be a 30 something backup QB who can't even keep track of other people running routes.

I think we should spend big this offseason but I think what we should spend on is our future. I think we should spend on our future by making pre-June 1 biggest cap hit now cuts of non-productive players so we can have the cash to spend on big free agents in a future offseason without having to restructure and give big guarantees and future dollars to our sketchiest players.

Say we could get Maholmes this year somehow. Obviously tempting but I am not even sure that would be good if we had to sell our salary cap souls to do it. If we had to restructure the contracts of Andrus Peat, Taysom Hill, Alvin Kamara, and Michael Thomas so that absolutely Peat would have to remain part of Maholmes starting offensive line for 5 years, Kamara would have to play to 35 with a big cap number, Hill would have to be our starting TE and the new Travis Kelce for Maholmes, and we would have to count on Michael Thomas as our #1 WR (say that Olave would be be part of the trade for Maholmes). It would be great to get Maholmes but do you think we would get a ring if we could never move on from all these bad contracts? The Chiefs can't win most years with Kelce and Reid, we are not winning with Hill and Allen.

The best money we can spend this offseason is the money to front load or escape these contracts not backload and make them inescapable. To clean up our cap. So then in the future when we get that big name, we won't have to wreck our ability to build around them by committing 2024-2028 dollars to a bunch of players who are already becoming liabilities or surely will soon given their age and issues.

Don’t know much about him. But he’s on the right track with that number.

I don’t trust anyone’s opinion that does not use punctuation correctly and has 3rd grade grammar mistakes. Carr is the man and will be our next QB

I don't judge Somebody by their use of grammar but more along the lines of what they have to say. I do agree with you that posts are easier to read when they have proper punctuation and make much better sense.
