Difference is Snyder is being forced to sell the team. Snyder doesn’t give a **** about winning next year if he is not the owner. It all depends on when that team is sold.
They have $40M+ of base salary that can be restructured to create cap im '23 (of course at the cost of adding dead money down the line). But I think you are right in identifying that they have almost no cap flexibility to add quality players at this point and are effectively choosing the salary cap version of slowly bleeding to death. It looks like their FO is just trying to kick the can down the road until Rodgers retires then probably do a reset year like the Bears did this year.
I could easily see the Lions cutting Halapoulivaati Vaiti, and saving 10 mil in cap. Coming off an injury, likely to sign a one year "prove it" deal. Never panned out as a Tackle, but is a very good guard when healthy, at least better than anything the Bears have.
I've been looking at him for a while. He might be the best bet for a pass catcher in FA this year, although his price is going to balloon. Really good after the catch, lots of burst.
Conklin is on the Browns, not Bengals.
Agree, very few TEs are consistent though. He's been pretty reliable over his career, 577 yards or more in 4 of 6 seasons.
Driving that tank
Still a chance to get #1.
I was not sold on him though I know the snaps I saw were while he wasn't fully healthy
Yeah they're not just going to fold. Poles will have to be all in.
