Rumor NFL Free Agency Rumors

I was also dead wrong on that one. I wanted leinert and I remember the rumors about cutler.
Both picks would have drastically changed our history. Leinert was a quickly enough discovered bust that we probably would have drafted at least a year earlier than Locker.
Cutler probably would have had us a little more competitive to need a new QB after Locker’s year.

 

Either he is worth a first or more or he isnt going to cost as much to resign as everyone is saying.

 

Miami could be an option? Rumors say they want to draft Tua but Tua won't be ready for a season or two so Rivers could be the guy for the time being while Tua heels and learns

 

Miami has already committed to Fitz til their rookie is ready

 

Oh yeah forgot about that. I'd love Fitz as our back up but be cool to get keenum

 

Devil's advocate here - wouldn't you rather pay a tackle than a guard? I would almost rather pay Conklin and cut Saffold. Saffold was bad for a good part of the beginning of the season. Conklin was bad last year when he still coming off an injury.

What would be the cap hit to release Saffold? It seems like it would be easier to replace a guard than OT. If I remember correctly, we'll be paying Saffold $12-$13 million this year. Put that towards resigning Conklin if you can make the numbers work.

 

Fisher wanted Cutler.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher 'loved' Jay Cutler, preferred him over Vince Young

 

His dead money would be 13.1 million so he's not going anywhere. Next year his dead money would be almost 5 million and we'd save 7.5 million. After that we could save 10.5 by cutting him his final year and only eat about 2 million. I'd say it's safe to say he's our LG for the next 2 seasons. He also was one of our top performers at the end of the season if I remember correctly.

 

I'm thinking Rivers will be a Buc

Or a Jag?

I think Miami takes Tua or Herbert and let's Fitz be QB1 until rook is ready
