2021 NFL Free Agency thread

Most of their draft picks were not worth keeping lately, why sign them? Keeping their guys has been an issue since free agency began.

 

The big time players are still here waiting for compensation. Steelers usually don't overpay for fringe talent, they find the next crop of superstars that can't wait to leave for mo money.

 

Green replacing Fitzgerald makes no sense to me. They want a faster senior citizen?

 

I think green still has some play left in him. More so than Fitzgerald. I think green could still be pretty good.

 

except possibly golladay, there really isn’t any true #1 out there that’s available for the taking. Bad year for free agency at WR.

 

really isn’t anyone worth one. Golladay is good but still questionable.

 

people have been watching tape. They see what he is and what he’s not. I even see fans of other teams saying no thank you to him that desperately need we help. His stock around the nfl has dropped.

 

Green looked bad with Burrow, i think he's done.

 

one RB i thought we should look into is wayne gallman from the giants. that guy runs hard and when given his shot had some good games for them. he was like a 1A for them. he took over towards the end after an injury. may come at the right price if they reshuffle a contract or two.

 

WR market has been very slow across the board. I think he has overvalued himself and might get signed for around $22m - $25m for two years, betting on himself to hit the market again in 2023 when the cap should be much higher.

Juju is not an elite receiver by any means but he does a lot of things very well and could help a lot of teams.

 

if a team could absorb juju's money, and i'm thinking more in the line of 7-10 mil. per and have a couple already established guys and a good QB, he would make a team dangerous. seattle if russell stays. DK metcalf, tyler lockett, juju. GB. adams, lazard, valdez-scantling, juju. cleveland. cincinnati. steelers. is enough of an option with already good players WRs to put a team over the top. i think it would have to be the right situation. similar to TB. hard to cover just one, when the others can do as much damage. i don't think he's a good fit if he has to go and become the complimentary number 2 alone.

 

So... We'll probably sign a lower tier player or 2....Any guesses, or who you might want...Serious inquiries only...

I'll start... Williamson...Dude was getting better every game, really coming into his own...What he's looking for money wise, no idea

 

Gallman would be a reasonable insurance policy in case they can’t get a guy they like in the draft. He did well last year when he had to step in for Barkley. Colts just signed Mack one year $2m, that would be perfect.

If they sign someone like Gallman and then subsequently draft somebody like Harris or Javonte Williams then I think that may be the end of Benny Snell Football

Conner could conceivably come back on a vet minimum deal as well. I don’t think there is any real market for him as a starter

 

They shouldn't give up on Snell after just 2 years, he has shown flashes of being a power back.

 

NFL personnel guys said none of these WRs are number ones, that's why they're not getting big contracts, and they know this draft is deep at WR.

 

I'm not a burrow fan and I think he just wanted out of Cincinnati.

 

I agree. I'd rather have devontae Smith, chase, or waddle over any of these free garnt wrs. Golladay has number 1 ability possibly he was really good a year ago but again he's questionable if he actually is a number 1. I'm surprised the ravens don't want him. I think he's perfect for them

 

He definitely did. And yea possible short term deal but he better do it with the right team to earn big. Trying to go somewhere to be the guy won't workout for him.

 

reports say that the Jets are entertaining a JuJu offer...... that would be the end of JuJu as he knows it.

 

He already is facing the end. He was known when ab was here as an arguable top 10 wr that "team mvp" year. Those days are far gone he's not even top 20.

 

The Ravens can't afford Golladay.

 

I didn't know their cap situation.

 

If JUJU does come back my 9 year old daughter will be excited, but I pretty much set up for the last 10 months that this would probaly be JuJu's last year with the Steelers, explaining the Salary Cap etc. is very hard to a 9 year old.
