Ron Rivera last week: "I’d love to get a guy with the skillset of Kevin Pierre-Louis, whether it’s Kevin or someone else. I’d love to have Kevin back. He did a lot of
good for us, played well, did a lot of good things, got a lot better down the line."

KPL just signed w Houston

----------------------------------------------

If the game plan was resign our own .. well that was a lie. Darby and KPL should have been resigned at their reasonable rates.

If the game plan was to upgrade positions through FA .. our lie detector test determined that was a lie as well.

So 24 hours into free agency you have determined that, because Darby and KPL signed with other teams, they don't plan to upgrade the team through free agency?

Ron and company did a great job bargain hunting in FA last year. How about we give him the benefit of the doubt?

I was being a bit over dramatic .. but starting CB has become a major need now. I would have matched the 3/30 for Darby and pursue William Jackson.

I trust RR .. but Im starting to wonder if he and his old school buddies are applying an old school approach to a new school of cap and FA.

With the low cap this year, us in better cap position than most and the cap taking off after this year ... I think we may be behind the times.

Building through the draft and not chasing free agents is always a smart approach.

I think it is actually a forward thinking approach so far. Just because you have a lot of cap space, doesn't mean you have to go and sign a bunch of bad contracts.

They can upgrade without overspending. There are still plenty of candidates out there that can help this team, but by not overspending they position themselves to retain some of their own core players in the next couple years.

I mostly agree with you, I think Im playing devils advocate to a degree here ... but I question if this current FO is capable of retaining their core players.

Tagging Scherff 2 years in a row is a FO failure.
No word on an Allen extension
No word on a Thomas extension
They let Darby walk
They did resign Roullier

Maybe Scherff and Allens camp said they want to get to the 2022 cap before entertaining contract talks.

If we go into next season carrying over anything more than 5M in cap .. thats a FO failure.

Lots of time and players left ... Id feel a lot better if they were able to extend Scherff, Allen and Thomas though. Until they do, they havent retained their core.

im getting an old man approach vibe to a modern and changing way of dealing with the cap.

It takes both parties to work out an extension. There isn't much WFT can do if those players and/or their agents want to wait on the extension.

Not hearing any word doesn't mean things aren't in the works behind the scenes. I'm sure Allen and Thomas are both high priorities. As for Darby last year was the first time he played all 16 games. For the $$ he got from Denver I can't hate letting him walk. He earned a nice payday but odds are he will get hurt again sooner rather than later.
