Free Agent News--other teams

[bileever]

I thought a general free agent thread might be better than a bunch of threads about random players not coming to the Seahawks. (Moderators, feel free to delete if not appropriate.)

First up: Christian Wilkins signs for 4 years, $110 million with the Raiders. We were never going to be able to afford him, anyway, but wow, that's a lot of money.

Pundits had his market at $25-26M, but the cap went up more than expected as well.

This makes the idea that we can re-sign Williams for less than $20M seem like wishful thinking too.

Saquon Barkley ---> Eagles
3-year, 37.75M (26M guaranteed)

Therefore,

D'Andre Swift ---> Bears
3-year, 24.5M (15.3M guaranteed)

Anyone know the quality of Chicago's O-Line?

Because if Waldron actually makes a run-game work there, after what we had going on here the last two years (especially last)... SMH.

Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to the Steelers.

A lot of money for a running back. I thought the RB market was on the decline. In any case, I don't know if Barkley is worth that money. At least it's not CMC money.

Looking like Josh Jacobs to Green Bay, Aaron Jones being let go.

Seems like a stellar year for IOL free agents. Have read of several Guards getting multi-year contracts in the $14-17M/year range.

Might hear Damien Lewis's name soon. Doubt there's much of a market for Phil Haynes.

 

[Lagartixa]

Saquon Barkley ---> Eagles

I'll take "NFL managerial malpractice" for $1000, Alex.

I don't get this one. Jacobs is a beast but Jones is a good player too.

Poor Rashaad Penny. The dude can't buy a break. He goes to Philly, then they acquire D. Swift. Swift leaves and in comes Barkley. Penny is still outside looking in.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Dayum, they are coming in fast for sure. Even though it's old news, Baker staying with Bucs was a solid move on both sides, imo.

Agreed. Jordan Love looked really good this year, but Jones was #1 RB in success rate and top 10 in Yards per attempt. I'm not sure what this move is unless its cap space/money or personality driven.
