2020 NFL Draft/Offseason thread

Dak has no deal. He was franchise tagged but he hasn’t signed his franchise tag offer. He’s threatening to hold out as far as I know.

If he signs the tag he’ll make $33 million this year, but Dak wants a long term deal.

Well then Jones is an idiot hoping to achieve imbecility

An interesting look at the first round and how they were rated coming out of HS.  Hint, mostly 5 star.

Yeah he’s in the last year of his deal at $14.5 million. He’s an unrestricted f/a in 2021.

Word is the Redskins are demanding a 2nd rd pick. They have no leverage to be demanding anything right now. Especially when all the teams in the top 10 ish that desperately needed a tackle got highly rated young ones in the draft.

Redskins probably won’t get a better offer than a 4th rd pick now. Unless they are willing to deal, they probably are going to have to cut him because he’s made it pretty clear he is never playing for them again.

the Vikings are in real need

Either they take a tackle in the 2nd at 26th or they trade picks for Williams or someone else

after trading down last night they have 2 in the 3rd, 2 in the 4th, 2 in the 5th, 2 in the 6th, and 3 in the 7th

probably be able to make a deal.

well, I'm hoping Dak holds out and the Boys start Cooper Rush

also hoping Rodgers melts down in GB and the rookie plays

Vikings only have $12 million in cap space. Williams will count $14.5 million against the cap in 2020. I believe they can work around this if they can get Williams to agree to a new contract and bring his cap hit for 2020 down, but apparently he's looking for $18+ million a year average and a lot of money guaranteed up front. Redskins want a 2nd round pick. Only a moronic team would give up a 2nd round pick and then pay a guy on the wrong side of 30 who just missed an entire season that kind of money.

Redskins just released reports through the media a few hours ago that they are seeking a trade but won't take a bad deal. They have no leverage as far as I can see. The guy is an unrestricted free agent after this year. He can just retire and they get nothing. Or he can give a half-ass effort or pretend to be injured, sit out games, be a malcontent locker-room cancer, and collect his $14.5 million (his base salary) for just going through the motions and leave and the Redskins get nothing.

We'll see what happens. But it sounds like Redskins and Williams are both being unreasonable. Redskins probably should just cut him. Save $14.5 million in the cap space and save $14.5 million actual dollars not paying him.

genius GM Bill O'Brien just signs OT Laremy Tunsil- who was in the last year of his rookie deal- to the highest OL deal in history. $22+ million per year average. Beats the Eagles' Lane Johnson's deal by $4+ million per year, which is $18+ million per year.

Tunsil is really good, but is he best OL in the entire leauge good? I really don't think so.

Supposedly traded away a guy that might be the best at his position in the leauge in Hopkins because he wanted a new contract. But yeah- give the guy who definitely isn't the best at his position in the entire leauge the biggest contract for his position. Makes total sense.

Dude is an ass clown times 1,000,000 as a GM.

[Mdot21]

watch O'Brien turn around and trade DeShaun Watson to the Patriots for Jarred Stidham, a 2nd round and 3rd pick this draft. Would this surprise anyone? Lol.

[OrangeAfroMan]

Tunsil is really good, but is he best OL in the entire leauge good? I really don't think so.

Since the advent of the franchise tag, I doubt the highest paid is often the best.

If anyone isn't watching ESPN's pre-draft coverage today, you missed Kelly Clarkson about 8 inches from the camera lip synching some song for the front line people.  Super out of place and awkward. 


And Trey Wingo screwed up the Jake Fromm/State Farm joke, saying, "Jake from State Fromm."  This guy is killing me.

[Cincydawg]

SEC players seem to be doing well.

And Lions throw away their second round pick.  Fun
