Think ridley re-signing there was always unlikely since then they'd owe Atlanta a 2nd rounder for the trade
Yeah I agree. Just mean FA in general. They love going for those WRs. Now I definitely will be trying to draft Kirk in fantasy next year haha

I don't dislike the Swift move. We needed to get more versatile and explosive at the RB position.

$8M seems a little steep when Barkley is expected to get $10M. Is Swift that close to Barkley salary wise as a player?
Market price and even if you prefer Barkley, He may have indicated he wasn't coming here unless Poles paid extra etc. I'm not implying you don't know this but we can't assume he could have been had for simply beating what he signs for elsewhere.

But honestly... Wilkins becoming one of the highest paid interior linemen in the game without ever even making a Pro Bowl is kind of wild.

Raiders definitely overpaid, imo.

That's the nature of free agency though if you're looking to find cornerstones. You have to overpay for those top-of-the-market type guys, and thus, plenty of them end up underperforming the contract.

100%. They aren’t a DT away from competing for a SB. They have a lot of holes to patch up.
