He’s going to be the highest paid WR in the league soon, at least until Michael Thomas gets a new deal. |

One thing that I wouldn’t mind from Veach here soon is Kendall Fuller extension.
He didn’t have a great year compared to his 2017 season, but I’ve got a feeling he will bounce back and be really good in this new defense for 2019. Right now we might be able to get him a little cheaper than if he were to have a great season ahead of hitting the market. Plus, he’s still only 23 years old. TWENTY THREE. He’ll be 24 before the season starts, but still. That’s a rookie age for some people. |

If we release Houston, do we just roll with Speaks? So Speaks, Ford on the tag, Tanoh and a high draft pick?
Or do we spend some money and sign a big name DE and have them get a low first year cap hit to offset Ford’s tag # and then have money free for them when Ford is gone in 2020? |

If you wind up keeping Houston and letting Ford go, I’m signing Shane Ray if the price is reasonable.

He was stuck behind two HOFers early in his career, finally got to play more his third year where he put up 8 sacks, and then got injured. Denver drafts Chubb, leaving no spot for Ray this year. I’m not saying he’s a star but I bet he’s as motivated as ever and he has the ability to be a solid contributor somewhere. |

Ray is the type of player they’re gonna have to sign and hope to get value
Some of you guys wanting them to sign a big name need to look around at the cap space some of these shitbird teams have. It’s nuts |

Veach would have more credibility in peoples' eyes if it weren't for the Watkins and Hitchens contracts. I know I'm one of the biggest culprits on this forum for bitching about his first draft, but had he either played it safe in free agency last year or acquired only players whose production could match their contract, we'd be doing just fine moving forward with more cap space and fewer question marks. His draft would be more widely thought of as just the best he could do with the picks he had, hoping to hit on some dudes with high potential.
The good news is that those two "mistakes" can be fixable. The Sammy Watkins deal is short term. We don't have to keep him for the 3rd year of that deal if he can't give us better production and stay healthy. And I think a big reason Spagnuolo was chosen is he offered the greatest chance for us salvaging Hitchens and making him the player we thought we were getting when we acquired him. If Hitchens turns into the reliable guy we needed this season but didn't get, then the contract isn't a problem at all to our cap. |

Even looking at Watkins though, is the AFCCG close without him? I’m not sure.
Injury record is questionable at this point but he sure does make a difference out there. |
