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 doubt it.
Bad teams will pay for pedigree. Teams are still throwing money at Morris Claiborne for some weird damn reason and that guy sucks. But he was a top 10 pick with a lot of hype once and bad teams have a shitload of money to waste. So they take 'flyers' on guys with track records of sub-standard performance because, well nobody else wants their money and maybe they'll get lucky. Spoiler alert: They never get lucky. Waynes draft status will get him 20% more than his performance says he oughta get, IMO.

Clark is a little heavier and they feel he can play defensive end. Which he did for Seatle in their 4-3. So there is tape of him playing every down. While it seems a consensus that Ford is more OLB and might not be a fit for the 4-3. SO basically your getting more of a sure 3 down starter.

I think Darby will take $8-9 million on the low end. I think you're probably talking about $30 million worth of AAV in your cornerbacks if you want to keep all three. And yes, there are ways to stagger that, but it's tough when all 3 get contracts within 2 years of each other.

Honestly from what I've seen, I wouldn't be mad if we drafted Joejuan in the 1st round.

Lol....Honey Badger is getting some guff from Mizzou fans for his comment about following Les Miles to Kansas.
"Don't worry, just the games are played in Missouri. You'll probably live on the Kansas side."

They haven't been bad at hitting on CBs in the first three rounds, they just haven't attempted to draft CBs in the first three rounds very often. K. Russell from Notre Dame is really the only "miss" they have had recently.

And Clark wasn't really used as a 3-down lineman. We was in on about 70% of their snaps so he was coming off the field for run situations and really being asked to pin his ears back and get upfield in passing downs. That's not dissimilar to what Ford was being asked to do when the Chiefs went to the 2-4-5 sets. And if my memory serves, their 'heavy nickel' with the 2-4-5 was their most commonly used set this year. Biggest distinction I could make is that Clark is a little bit longer than Ford; little taller and his arms are a little longer so he can keep guys away from him a little better. But Ford did plenty of rushing with his hand in the dirt and had developed a very good 'lever arm' or whatever the !@#$ that move was called where he'd tilt his shoulders and put his hand right into the OL's chest to keep him from getting into his body. Houston was a boss at it and Ford clearly learned how to do it. I don't think the length would make a big difference.

never understand why they think people are stupid for saying kansas in that situation. Its literally a few miles from the state line. Both sides cheer for the kansas city chiefs. Its not some huge deal to make out of it
