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/ |

I don't think it has much bearing on Fuller; either they can get him extended this off-season or they'll lose him, IMO. With or without Lawrence, his salary slot will either be for him or for Jones. It's too big of a figure to really impact Fuller, if that makes any sense. I don't think there's a chance in hell Lawrence signs for what Ford got. Not when he already has a $20 million guaranteed tag figure this year and there's no viable way to tag him next. He's gonna demand bank to stay out of the open market next season. |

So are we sure we want to keep Jones? I know he's good and everyone loves him, but i'm always a little skeptical of paying DL that much who have some whispers of motor issues.

I'm good with keeping Jones, it seems its what they want to do. But if you could tag and trade him to recoup your first rounder you traded for Lawrence...….I dunno. |

Likewise.
And I think Reid is of similar mind given his comments last season about the state of pass-rushing. Reid is of the mind that the modern method of getting to the passer is up the middle. I think he overstates it somewhat (because that's also the most congested way of getting there), but if you ask him if he'd prefer an interior rusher to a pass-rushing DE, I think he'd absolutely say yes. In either event, I think the idea that the Chiefs will make a play on the 2 major tagged rushers is baseless speculation that looks only at a single season worth of cap space and not the long-term ramifications. It seems DAMN unlikely, especially with the Chiefs electing to June 1 Berry and move more of his cap hit to 2020. |

I’d rather keep Jones and throw picks at the DE spot in hopes that you find a keeper.

I think he's the next closest thing to Donald, and he will fit right in this one gapping scheme. |

But paying DL that aren't Aaron Donald have had mixed results in the past. |

Problem right now, is that Jones isn't going to be getting blocked with 1 guy with what they've got around him at the moment.
Obviously have a while to go, but you need quite a few up there. |

And with his physical talent, it's not a stretch to say he's one of the few that might actually BE Aaron Donald-esque. |
