RE: ***NFL Free Agency News & Signings Thread*** - Whacked - 03-24-2024
Random. Saw a couple of small blurbs on Xavien Howard visiting Cincy. Can anyone confirm?

Hilton is trying to recruit him is all I heard. He wants to go to the Texans....

but if this is how he really feels, Cincy is a place he would be looking at....
Quote:"I'd rather take a pay cut to go to a team that's going to go further in the playoffs," Howard added. "My goal is always to try to win a Super Bowl. Don't let the money get in the way of winning a Super Bowl."It appears he's also looking at the Lions.

I wonder if he also burned some bridges with the Steelers when he bashed them for giving up on games or whatever that whole thing was. It’s been reported people inside the organization are split on bringing him in.

Gilmore is old but he is still playing at a high level. It would be nice to have him but not if his asking price is too high. Im not sure any of the other guys move the needle that much. Xavien Howard has got worse every year the last 4 years. Patrick Peterson is so-so and is 34 years old at this point. Adoree Jackson was pretty bad last year posting a 48.6 PFF grade. Rock Ya-Sin is OK but nothing special. I would probably wait until after the draft unless Gilmore could be had at a good price.

I won't be surprised to hear he's right back here on a team friendly contract, especially if they are planning on trading Tee (which I don't think they are)

With the $4.4 mil hit on Brown, I put our practical cap space around $16.6 mil.
Counting 53, $4.3 mil for the PS, $2 mil for Irwin, and $2.7 mil for a FRP.

Bengals Cap Update:
— Jake Liscow (@JakeLiscow) March 25, 2024
Over The Cap says: $24M after Trent Brown's deal. We're still missing Irwin's deal.
It's more like $14.5M after accounting for projected rookie contracts and practice squad players.
Still a lot! McPherson extension? Chase extension? Another FA or 3? pic.twitter.com/OLZ0WhLalX

Bengals usually roll over 5 million right?
Seems like there is a move still to be made

The top 51 salaries count towards the cap, so unless a PS player is in top 51, they are not relevant to the cap. They are relevant to a team' cash spend.
You also have to offset players being replaced in top 51. So, if Irwin cap hit is 2 million, he may offset a guy previously in top 51 making 900K. Net would be an additional 1.1 million to the cap, not 2 million.

Thanks Sled, I like the thought of bringing in Xavien Howard a lot.

Good, don't want Boyd to go to those shitheads.

Could be, sure would make WR much less of a need this Draft, at least really early and it is a very deep class. I still like Boyd even if he
was a bastid to some of the fans last year and acting weird himself at times. Still a very good WR and I don't think he is a quitter.
Boyd is more of a guy that wants to prove himself and he stays relatively healthy.
Leaning towards a Tee trade much less likely myself every day.

Cordarrelle Patterson signs 2 year deal with the Steelers.

As Sled says here, yes they were, it makes sense to add Howard.

Patterson has been used as more of a RB lately, I don't know if he fits their Offense honestly.

Man, feels like Cordarrelle has been in the league forever, is he still fast? I don't even know how old he is.

I know, right? I just looked it up and he just turned 33. Must still have his speed.

Arthur Smith is the new stealer OC?
Must of missed this?
RE: ***NFL Free Agency News & Signings Thread*** - Luvnit2 - 03-26-2024
Is it me or is has FA slowed down earlier this year? It is not just us, but seems a lot of top 100 rated guys still available, not to mention role players?
Is teams FO now in driver's seat with contract negotiation?
I look around and see Ravens may need 2 starting guards, The Chiefs need a RT. We could use a DT, QB or depending on Tee a WR.
I am sure other teams still have glaring holes as well they would like to fill some prior to the draft.
Also, I believe after June 1st, players signed don't count against a team's potential compensatory draft picks in 2025.
