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 hate Ford. I hate the thought of giving him a bunch of guaranteed money when the only thing he's really done consistently in his career is get hurt.
I'm not a fan of tagging him and keeping him. If they want to keep him, sign him. If they don't, tag him and trade him. |

So it was basically taking Melvin Ingram's contract and adding a bit for inflation.
Ingram has a 4 year $65 million dollar deal. Cap hits: 2017: $14.875 2018: $13.875 2019: $19.625 2020: $16.625 They can realistically get out of 2019 by cutting him. It creates $5 million in dead cap but gives them $14 million in cap room. Cutting him in 2020 gives them $14 million in cap space and only creates $2.5 million in dead cap. |

I just absolutely hate the thought of tagging him and letting him play. It very rarely works out for the team. |

Agree to disagree. I personally believe tagging Ford (and not trading him) is the right move.
It gives you a year to see how Speaks and Kpassagnon are progressing and then you see but most likely, you don't resign him and take the possible 3rd round compensatory pick. |

I can't even imagine what we'll give Collins if he actually does hit the open market.

Betting against Houston was stupid. Betting against Dee Ford? I like those odds. A LOT. And even if he does have another good year, that just drives his value up and sets up a great trade scenario. Which is what we need to do anyway because you KNOW this kid has a maximum of MAYBE three productive years. |

First year would be low, second would be medium/high and third year would be really high.
You get $16 million from Houston in 2020 and Berry cap relief will be much better for us in 2020/2021. That’s a lot of cap relief. Plus I bet Tyreek, Jones and Pat will all have backloaded deals with a **** load of guaranteed $$ up front to help with cap health. |

I would MUCH rather trade Dee Ford. I would even be willing to let him walk. But keeping him, at nearly $16M guaranteed. No freaking way. |
