Free Agency Thread

I'm pretty sure Atlanta is gearing their offseason towards taking down Carolina.

 

Rather, taking on San Francisco and Seattle in the playoffs.

But yeah, us too, because we provided those guys the blueprint, but their focus is those two teams I think, more so than us.

 

Raiders are about to complete a trade for Matt Flynn, which will be the end of Carson Palmer there.

 

This all looks like bad news for us.

Not convinced by Flynn at all but it likely means OAK passes on Geno.
Zona likely makes a play for Palmer after his release taking them off the QB market too.

Buffalo is still screwed tho, good news for them I guess. They might make a play for Kolb tho.

 

Palmer in Arizona would be interesting, but they're pretty well invested in Drew Stanton right now. I guess he could end up in Buffalo. I think he can still play. He wasn't a good fit for Oakland's offense, but he still turned out a productive year.

 

Sarcasm I assume, but the point being right now they are busy just fixing their own shit. They have still lost more than they have gained IMO.

I dont get all the love. I do get SJ is an upgrade tho.

 

What have they lost?

 

Abraham
Turner
McClure
Robinson
Walker

And I know Grimes didnt play much last year and hasnt signed with anyone else yet but he is quality, plus they lost some debth at CR with Hope and Owens even tho they are pretty replaceable.

The only additions I see are Jackson and Osi unless im missing something.

They paid Baker a ton too, was he really worth it?

 

Those are not significant losses at all. Osi is an upgrade over Abraham, and Jackson is a pretty big upgrade over Turner at this stage. I think they've clearly gotten better. They probably won't go 13-3 again, but they should be more potent.

 

Agreed.
