Who should we go for in Free Agency?

Getting the feeling that MLB is less of an issue in the eyes of the FO than it is on this board.

Prior to signing Johnson, we had 12.7M per Schneed which puts at about 10.7M with easy moves to get us to 17.5M (cut Paulsen, Chester & Porter).

We have plenty of room.

as I said earlier we out out of money until there are cuts made

your logic is off, at this moment we have about 10M.
it's that simple.

Heck the Chiefs on Overthecap.com are at -587K.

There are 11 teams that have less cap space at this moment then we do.

BUT,

with a stroke of a pen (restructuring/resigning Kerrigan) we gain another 6million which would leave only 12 teams with more cap space.

That's before a single cut would have to happen.

BUT
cuts will happen.
Tracy Porter will be cut, that's +2M

and that puts us up to 9th highest cap space approximately.

Bottomline:
You can't cry no money based on future expenses, while ignoring future savings.

We have a middle of the pack cap number now, and have made several solid budget wise moves.

No. You are just wrong.

And just to flesh out the cap numbers (from Overthecap), rounded to the closest Million
The Skins have 11M as do the Colts and Panthers
Cardinals are at 9M(and are trying to get Adrian Peterson) as are the Ravens
Steelers and Texans are at 8M
Eagles are at 7M
Cowboys, Lions are at 6M
Giants are at 4M
Saints are at 3M (after truly going through cap hell to clear space)
and the Chiefs are at 0M

You may have noticed we have the MOST cap space in our division, by about 4Million.

This is not your VC Redskins.

No. You are just wrong.

Wait, I thought you made the long winded arguments, and I took the short approach. Red is Blue, Up is down, Dogs are cats. Craziness has come! :)

great signing. we got a guy with upside and very good ST play instead of any one of a list of known bad players. 2M/per is peanuts too if he's anywhere near a solid starter, especially since some good ST players get near that just for running kick coverage.

A+.

No. You are just wrong.

you are right, however they must budget for the draft, and IR expenses

The budget is about equal to the current cap space

lol ... me? long winded? never!

I think the D line has a pretty big affect on the MLB. With our signings on the D line, I think the focus has shifted elsewhere. I think having a true NG will have a decent sized impact on MLB. Not that the position is fixed, but that it is less of a priority now that we have added to the D line.

Cant fix everything in one offseason so get some base parts in place, then can add more in future years to continue going in the right direction.
