2019 Free agency Thread
We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research. https://overthecap.com/ |

Alright hear me out I know it’d be a ton of money to safeties but we do have the cap space to make it work...
Trade EB, sign Earl. |

This one would really put a hurtin’ on the Dorsey fanboys’ argument for him.

Dorsey is probably sitting there with a load of cap space and thinking the reward outweighs the risk.
But I think he’s deadass wrong. |

If you trade him, it is the same as cutting him pre-June 1, as his entire $15M in dead money gets accelerated to hit this year. Basically, you can trade Eric Berry, but it wipes out all money saved by shipping out Ford. |

Because right now part of his deal is guaranteed; right at $3 million. Another $7 million guarantees soon but we can cut him to be clear of that. We cannot, however, clear the $3 million. If we could get him traded we'd clear $4.5 million this season and EVERYTHING for coming seasons. That benefit in the 2nd year of potential Jones/Hill/Fuller deals would be massive as that's when those deals will see increased base salaries. Those are the years where you'll really have to tapdance to fit those guys under the cap and keep a solid team. If you can trade Berry WITH a 6th rounder and get a 7th back, you do it just to unload that additional $3 million in guaranteed salary that we'd have to eat if we cut him. There's no way that's legit. It doesn't made a damn bit of sense. |

He’s making bets... not all will be right, but they all don’t have to be right. And CLE has sucked for so long. Win 8-9 games each of the next 5 years and he’s a rock star there.

The Chiefs are in a completely different situation. It's not worth their risk but the Browns can afford to pay him and get nothing, for the potential reward of him returning to form. It's basically just like Dee Ford. |

Alright so PFTCommentor posted a DM on Instagram from a ‘source’ that said Berry to Cleveland would be the next big thing to happen. And that guy, when he rarely posts scoops, has always been right as far as I remember.
