2018 NFL Free Agency

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Teams like the Chiefs and Titans really have pulled some stoopid schite over the years, mucking it up for other teams... But two recent examples really just have me shaking my head... Slammy Watkins, 3 years, 48 million, 30 million ...

Re: 2018 NFL Free Agency

Teams like the Chiefs and Titans really have pulled some stoopid schite over the years, mucking it up for other teams...

But two recent examples really just have me shaking my head...

Slammy Watkins, 3 years, 48 million, 30 million guaranteed

WTF?!? Really?!? WTF has this guy done to deserve that kind of money?!? How the hell with the current cap structure are we going to be able to afford to keep Mike Thomas in two years when you signed this busted potential to that kind of coin? Attempting to sign Thomas a year early is not likely going to get it done. But why o why KC did you blow the freaking market apart like that? I've got tremendous respect for Andy Reid the coach, but his is absolutely stupid...

Malcolm Butler, 5 years, 61 million, 30+ guranteed

While the average per year is slightly better on this deal, why are you signing a No. 2 CB to No. 1 money; well the Titans may hang their inability to get to the legit circle on Marcus Mariota, but it really should be on GM Jon Robinson. Robinson went from being a grad assistant/LB Coach at nearby Nicholls State, worked his way through the Patriots Organization to be the GM of the Titans, held all the cards in the draft just two years ago, now goes and schitts this deal? This would be the coup de gras in his run if he was with any legit team, but the Titans are used to sucking balls and they'll keep him with some lame excuse. But in the meantime, he just set the market way out for free agent cornerbacks that are not No. 1s...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

I agree with ya JP. Teams are way overpaying for everyone this year. We should get what we can and rely on the draft more. 1 or 2 good ones reasonably priced in FA is a bonus. We killed the draft last year and it will happen again this year
