Free Agency Winners

[OldSchool]

They also cleared out a lot of "Dead Wood" to Miami!

True getting rid of him to the Phins was a win. That would be my team that lost in free agency, the Dolphins.

I check "Other" because I think Philly has done a pretty good job of covering their needs and at the same time moved up to #8 in the 1st round of the Draft! Their Fans are pretty hipped-up so far!

I don't think I can ever give credit to Philadelphia even in the Rocky movies and being Italian I rooted for all the other guys besides the Russian.

Oakland's future was already looking better before free agency. It would not surprise me at all to see Oak in the playoffs this year.They signed good players and still have 25+ mil in cap and the draft.

i think Irvin does well opposite Mack. Mack's awesome. someone's turning the ship around in oakland. maybe committment to excellence might mean something again in oakland.

I am ambivalent about FA. In general, teams that hit it hard are slightly desperate for quick change. It's exciting getting a name player in FA. But normally they come overpriced and more often than not perform worse than our memory of them. FA seems like fools gold to me.

I give the Ram Org. a very big B plus! AS we know we have to go with the hand dealt this 2016 free agency. I think they have played their hand dealt to them by the NFL Kings as best as they could. Those teams like Oakland & Miami last season usually do not come out ahead but further behind.

Signing your own players is a positive experience. No one can evaluate them better than the home team, and the home team knows (or should know) what their real value to the team is....It's normally a win for everyone

The way to win free agency is to pick up players who are bargains who have been misused by their old team, NOT overpay to pick up players who were playing at their max and are priced accordingly. Okay, an occasional overpriced one to fill your team's last major hole might be fine, but not to rebuild the team. Coples for instance - he is a 4-3 type DL based on his college career and his body type, but has been used as a 3-4 linebacker instead, and underperformed. Now the Rams have him for two seasons at a bargain.

Of the listed teams, while it's a gamble, IF Osweiler pans out the Texans are ahead. If it doesn't, they are screwed. But at least it's a reasonable, if expensive gamble. But I think the real winners of free agency are the teams who carefully picked among undervalued players to fill a hole or two.

You could also put the **triots in that poll. They added Chris Long, and Martellus Bennett to pair with gronkowski.

Martellus Bennett isn't scaring anyone. He's too busy making stupid Cap'n Crunch rap videos. God, I hate Marty B.

 

[kurtfaulk]

I have a hard time voting for them having paid that much money to two QB's.

See rams 2013 and 2014.

You are just hating, which is your right. They will be one of the most diverse/potent offenses in the AFC.

I really really hope this is a joke. Bradfords cap hit each of those years is less than his and Daniels number they just signed for. In 2013 Kellen Clemens signed for less than a million and Brady Quinn for $400k. In 2014 Davis and Hill combined to take home a whopping $2.25 million. If you're referring to Bradfords injury history then don't sign him. Even if you do you had Sanchez on the roster for a lot less than Daniels. If you think Daniels is better than Bradford then again don't sign Sam.

comparing salaries now and 3 years ago is a fruitless exercise. the brock just signed for $18m per year, that's the average qb's salary right now. the eagles liked sam and wanted to keep him but weren't gonna get burned like the rams did two consecutive season. the new coach likes daniels who knows his system and obviously wanted a solid plan b if sam goes down. can't fault them there and that's what alot of rams fans wanted in 2014, a solid back up plan.

Yeah they've been making good sound decisions the last 2-3 years definitely looking good in Oak.

And the salaries we signed our backups to in 2013 and 2014 were far far far far below average QB salaries come on man! You're seriously saying teams will now be signing 2 QB's for $34 million cause that's their average yearly.

sam $18, daniels $7m. that makes $25m. unfortunately when your starter is injury prone that's what you gotta do to stay competitive if he goes down.

They always are. It's not because they added Martellus Bennett.

 

[Merlin]

Gonna be a homer and go with the Rams write-in vote. They had a tough FA period and came out on top, keeping the right guys on defense. Tru/Barron/Hayes keep this defense in a place where it can improve with better health this season, and they added Coples who has the look of a very shrewd pickup with low risk. Rams have one of the fastest defenses in the league now, and it's gonna come down to how well they can avoid injury. If they do we'll see this unit take a big step forward.

They're now positioned to fix the offense. Are they up for it? Whether they do or not, I see them as a FA winner.

Sorry looked at the guaranteed money but yeah $7 million for a backup that just like us paying Sean Hill 800k oh for the same injury prone QB!
