Now the LT we could have gotten in Charles Leno and the QB we got in Wentz are both with the Commanders. Life has a funny way of coming full circle. I will be curious to see how Leno and Wentz do together at Washington. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepseaColt Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 There's so much talent left! Relax! We all know high priced free agents rarely work out and there are a crap ton of studs out there. I see Russell Gage, Marcus Maye, Dontae Jackson, Arden Key, Lorenzo Carter, Connor Williams, etc..... as very Ballard like signings. High upside for most of them and they won't break the bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard pallo Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Beware the Ides of March. Will something pop today? BTW Good Morning Football: Schraeger, Adams et al were kind of making fun of Ballard just now. All of this cap space and nothing to show for it and no QB. Come on Ballard do something was their cry. Adams wants us to sign Armstead. She's been saying it for days now. Jarvis Landry, Chandler Jones to mention a few other names they dropped. They know he's frugal but they think he needs to make some noise and improve our roster knowing the AFC South is a weak division. No argument from me.

I love posts that talk about our wrong or bad approach after one day of free agency. One. ONE!! I looked over on NFL.com and the Colts are one of 8 teams that pretty much sat out the first day of free agency. We are not alone. It’s not like Chris Ballard is doing one thing and the other 31 teams are doing something else. There will be plenty of time to complain in the days and weeks to come. But after one day? Really? Come on….. I get what you saying and I agree. We will see. I don’t expect us to splurge and I wouldn’t want us to. But we will see…how many years has it been that we’ve had the most or top 5 cap space? Let’s see if it changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Watson goes to (say the Panthers or Saints), then yes the AFC South is definitely winnable with the right pieces. Armstead, Jimmy G, Chandler Jones in FA and the pass catchers from the draft, I would be happy with our division winning chances assuming we re-sign Reed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player has a no trade clause they have the right to speak to any team they want. If a player is under contract with a team, they talk to another team without their team's permission, that is considered tampering. The team that owns the rights to that player has to provide permission for that player to speak to other teams. A no trade clause doesn't give a player a blanket ability to talk to any team they want at any time. It just means they control where they go and can't be traded unless it's to a team they want to be traded to. Here is an article that painfully details how the Wilson trade went down: https://www.si.com/nfl/2022/03/14/mmqb-russell-wilson-trade-negotiations-tom-brady-unretires In short, the two GMs were the ones that had been working on a deal for a long time and once they agreed on a trade package, the Seahawks granted permission for Wilson to fly to Denver to meet with their FO.
