Free Agents:
-for once we didn't overpay for our own and it shows as many are still unemployed (Dennard, Kirkpatrick, Glenn, Webb) and the ones that did sign none of them signed a huge contract.
Salary Cap:
- they jettisoned so much dead weight this year, where in years past they would have just rode out the entire contract.
-Kirkpatrick, Webb, Miller, Dalton, Glenn, Brown, all cuts!!!
Future:
-this team is younger and much better positioned to make a run in 2021, but be way more competitive in 2020.
-I would like to see an extention to Mixon before AJ Green though, I'm just leery on the health issue, and I would absolutely not pick up John Ross's 5th year, but I would try to re-sign on a cheap 2-3 yr deal.
I agree pay Mixon he is going to earn 1.4 million I think is what I heard he is worth a lot more. Even if you do not want to give him a big contract this year and want to wait till next year you still got to throw him a bone. Offer him a 4 million raise to 5.4 million and tell him that he will get a new contract next year. He is a big durable guy I do not think he will worry about not being healthy for his contract next year.
