2021 Free Agents

Might be right. But they will throw another coach or three in there and do some more research. They just aren’t gonna walk away from all those rookie deals.

No doubt that is the prudent thing to do. Find out what we have with a different coordinator and scheme. My hope is that the results are very different.
 
Some viable free agents. Reddick is due to become a free agent? Hmm....

One note, the cap is expected to decrease in 2021 due to lower revenues from TV and no fans.

Haason Reddick, edge: They have bigger free-agent names like Patrick Peterson, Kenyan Drake and Larry Fitzgerald, but given how well Reddick has played in the second half of the season, he gets the nod. Reddick is tied for third league-wide with 12.5 sacks. Reddick has been shuffled in and out of different roles during his time in Arizona, but for a team looking for a young pass rusher with upside, he could be really attractive.

Allen Robinson, WR: This is an easy one. Robinson ranks ninth league-wide with 1,213 receiving yards, despite having to deal with inconsistent quarterback play. He’s a high-volume No. 1 receiver who could put up monstrous numbers if he found the right quarterback and the right scheme. And Robinson will be just 28 at the start of next season.

Justin Simmons, S: The Broncos used the franchise tag on Simmons last offseason and will try to sign him to a long-term deal. Simmons has a case to be the league’s highest-paid safety. He hasn’t missed a snap over the last three seasons, is 27 and just made the Pro Bowl.

Leonard Williams, DT: The Giants traded for Williams last season and used the franchise tag to keep him. He ended up having a career year with 8.5 sacks and 25 QB hits and will now be even more expensive. Williams has hit the quarterback on 6.3 percent of his chances, which ranks ninth league-wide and is especially impressive for an interior lineman. It feels like he’s been around forever, but Williams will be just 27 at the start of next season.

Yannick Ngakoue, edge: The Ravens could be facing the same decision we did: picking between Ngakoue and Matt Judon, who has six sacks and 21 QB hits. He is three years older than Ngakoue, who has eight sacks and 10 QB hits, but both are quality edge defenders and will be among the most-sought free agents if they hit the open market.

None of those guys inspires confidence. I’m sure someone will overpay Robinson. I wish we would hire Philips so he could move Joyner back to safety. That crosses a need off the list. I want Heath resigned as well. Not having him against he Chargers and Dolphins was big. The guy is a closer. He seems to come up with a game sealing INT every now and again.
 
After our abysmal draft and FA signing record these past few years, we could sign Aaron Donald and ruin him. I have absolutely zero confidence in management to sign and draft quality players.
We have coaches that can’t scheme a player to the players strengths. They want Ruggs to make contested catches when he’s known as a burner and pass on a guy whos strength was just that. Smh

The entire coaching staff and front office is a dumpster fire. They don't know what they're doing. Can't evaluate talent. Can't pick players that fit their schemes etc.

2021 gonna be more of the same most likely.
 
On a more positive note FAs might be more on board coming to Vegas vs Oakland. Key reasons: new stadium/state of the art facilities. Nice geographic location with major income tax advantages vs California, decent school systems and a franchise that could potentially take the next step. We hate on Mark but moving the team to Vegas was a pretty savvy move.

Maybe it would help if they took down the sign that says "We Ruin Players" at the practice facility...
 
Kenny Golladay is likely going to be out of Detroit. His injury history worries me but he’s a WR1 when he’s healthy and the type of receiver Carr loves. Lions still might tag him.

“Kenny come sign in Vegas for a coach and QB who will never get you the ball”
Thanks for your help bro but I think I'll pass.

Don't tell me we're getting back towards "...he's not coming here"... applying to both players and coaches. I realize money talks but players know what's going on around the league. Many players and coaches at this point probably think there are better options out there. The new stadium can only go so far...We've had one winning season in so long I can't even figure it out anymore.
 
Waller, Agholar, Ruggs should be enough of a 1, 2, 3 to win games.

Sammy Watkins might be a guy I'd kick the tires on as a rich man's Seth Roberts type.

We need an alpha Dog, not need but would tske us to another level. Ceedee would have been perfect or Higgins.
 
Maybe Bryant could be that guy but I haven’t seen it.
