Sit back and watch the NFL price itself out of business.

That is nowhere close to happening. Their revenues continue to climb every year and legalized sports gambling will even make them climb that much faster.

So this doesn’t appear to be an option we’re even exploring. Why not take a shot on Muhammad Wilkerson?

I realize NFL revenue will increase. DB'S, LB'S DL'S WR'S are starting to get what used to be "Elite QB" contracts. If that trend continues the salary cap has to grow with the NFL revenue for teams to survive. If not teams will have to "reload" through the draft.

The salary cap is already tied to the league's revenues (between 47% to 48.5%). That's why the increase in salaries is pretty meaningless to the league's bottom line. The CBA demands that the owners increase salaries as the revenues increase.

Saints are bringing in Kayvon Webster, Coty Sensabaugh, Prince Charles Iworah per various sources - all are there to churn up the competition for the reserves at CB...

Actually, not so much because he's cheap as he'll likely be on uber-good behaviour pre-trial, and maybe probation afterwards...

We need DT3 help - we're this close, this window for Drew is nearly gone, Payton's over-paid in the draft to this point...

Don't "get by" with a big defensive end at DT3, don't gamble on Rankins' medicals, get that extra DT3 and reload...

Per reporters, P Rob is practicing, albeit OTAs...

Most of the comments are that this is a legit challenge to all CBs not named Lattimore, Apple, Robinson - but a notice, wake-up to our best three as well...

It's a healthy thing...

A Real GM might fly somewhere and have Lunch with a HOF coach, just to "get perspective..."

It's a healthy thing...

Put this here to highlight another reason why I'd like us to have spent the extra cash and secured Zeitler over Warford...

I also want Eric Berry. This late in the game he could be had for cheap.

Kind of surprised the Pack didn't try and trade him ?

I don't expect a guy as talented as Mike to stay unemployed very long.

He carried a $10.7 million cap hit for 2019. I really doubt there are any trade partners that could easily handle that hit this late in the game. I heard Green Bay asked him to take a pay cut and he refused.

Wasn't aware of that type of cap hit.

Sign anyone that helps us. Competition will weed out the non performers.

Hope he doesn't go to Atlanta. DL is one of their weak spots.
