I thought the Perryman deal was dead so I'm pleasantly surprised. Nick is eating now! Gotta hand it to Nick on the signed players. If you don't look at the terms and only look at the players, this team may be having the best FA haul in the NFL...or damn close to it. Certainly, top 5. How to factor in the short-term deals? Not sure, but other teams are doing the same so he's not alone. The other positive takeaway is that good players now want to come here. No way Schultz, Perryman, etc come here in 2020-2022 even if we did have cap space. With Ryans, Draft Picks, and of course...plenty of cap space, it's now a FA destination.
Anyone seen the terms (other than the 1 year)? With the FA signings and better scheme/coaching, one thing is damn near certain. This D won't be trampled over by opposing runners the way it was last year. Add a top pass rusher via draft, and this D is going to be legit. How legit remains to be seen, but I expect big improvement on this D.
If you want the sunshine pumper version of the 1 year deals, it's that these guys will be playing for a new contract, so we should expect to get a very good effort from most of these guys. And if we lose these guys, aren't their compensatory picks?
Nick is just trying to stock up on a crap ton of 6th round picks so he can later waste them by trading up for guys that nobody else would. It's all part of the master plan. Hang tight. Nick is the man with the dastardly plan.
