Well we can only hope, wish, that the depth with Christmas and Collier will pay off going into next season and not be a Thompson and Hill type situation.

They only have like 15-16m of real cap space remaining, not including cuts. They don't have unlimited space to add outside free agents while keeping the pieces they have.
Clowney has got to be the priority. After Clowney, there's pretty much room for just depth signings and MAYBE an Ifedi extension if Britt is cut.
Signing outside free agents to appease you opens up other holes elsewhere. This isn't a simple "hurr durr add more players please boss" proposition here.
Please show link with the cap space remaining every thing See show a lot more. As to thee rest once again a reason why people don't post ridicule. . Could it be that I believe we need to do something big in FA to get to the next level? Nope has to be just to appease me. Could it be one of the Fa that signed I believe could have made the difference, nope cant be because you don't agree has to be just to appease me. It's okay to say in your opinion or something like that but to simply denigrate it because you don't like it is what is wrong with this forum.

Waiting on Clowney while the other decent DEs sign elsewhere is plain stupid. We lose him too and our pitiful pass rush will be the worst in the league if it isn’t already.
JS and PC never sign quality FAs. They are just smarter than every one else. SMFH and the holes get bigger and bigger.

Also just becase the Hawks do it, dow nto mean it is the right thing to do. IF it were we woudl not have to go back to 2013 for a decent FA class.
I am not saying stop having a conversation about it, I am saying stop crying in your beers over it. The off-season has barely started.
The Hawks have done well in free agency over the years. Yes they have some misses, but every team does. What I do know, teams that win free agency usually do jack squat in the regular season.
No one is crying in their beers, we are stating our options and like every year since 2013 as of now we have done little to nothing expect loose players. that is a fact. When players were available that would have made us better. FYI again KC did very well in FA last year and won the SB. Also, FYI please provide a link showing those who do well in Fa do squat that year. I think you will find the good to great teams who do well in FA do great the following season, only those who were bad do squat the next year.. Example KC again, good in 2018, had a very good Fa wins the SB
Hindsight is 20/20, most of big free agents don't pan out. KCC had one big signing in FA last year. If Hawks do nothing from here on out you might have a point.

It only takes one and so far we have none and have lost out on several that would have made us better. Thata not counting our own lost. Sorry and of now we are loosing FA again.

You've shared your opinion, past a certain point it is just whining.

Russ would've thrown for 6000 huh?John63":cgg84hol said:SoulfishHawk":cgg84hol said:That Hopkins deal may be top 3 in the worst trades of all time category. Houston is next level clueless.
Agreed, imagine what we could do with Hoopkins, DK, adn Lockett oh my god.
hawksfansinceday1":3hefdz0l said:I heard this morning on Dan Patrick that Hopkins likely would have been holding out for more money from Houston and had a crap attitude about not making enough money. O'Brien ain't no picnic either and I'm sure he had something to do with the situation for sure. But it's not coincidence that he was traded to a team with a QB on a rookie deal. According to DP, he wants 20 per.
Someone please answer: How were the Hawks going to pay that and try to improve the d-line and o-line which everyone sees as huge priorities?
