We jacked his price tag up. If we were to retain him long term that extension needed to happen week 5 of last season or something.
March 1, 20241 yr We brought Swift’s price tag to what I’d consider a high. Never love paying top dollar for anybody.

March 1, 20241 yr My feelings are this FA class of RB has good options for cheap. Some good hungry RBs that are just entering their prime. Several that have that Pro experience already. But haven’t broken out enough to command big money.

March 1, 20241 yr I’ve never stated anything about me not wanting to pay good players. Never said anything could even be misconstrued to have mistaken my thoughts to have been that.
March 1, 20241 yr Author 7 minutes ago, cunninghamtheman said: I’m not totally against him. But don’t see him as any start right away level player at all. That’s reserved for the DeVonta Smith few guys. He's a SLOT WR,like JJ. he has the same skill set
March 1, 20241 yr Just now, GreenbleedinNC said: Then explain how to get good players,but you don't want to pay I see it as all options being available. I’m all for stepping up and paying elite needed players. I am very against overpaying and delaying the ramifications towards contracts of old players for what their past brought. I only believe in the business of paying for what will be delivered by players during the contract being signed.

Well no team wants to overpay,but they do and you need to if you want the elite FA's,so it's a balancing act,you have to decide where your going to spend the money and which spots you won't

March 1, 20241 yr Author Just now, cunninghamtheman said: How can you compare him to JJ? He’s just nowhere near that level of polish or talent. Watch again. No he's not JJ,then again he's a round 3 not a 1

I don’t see things so much like underpaying and overpaying. I see things as the whole big picture being assembled. So if any position is thin with options that player is more important and worth a higher value to me.

Are you sure those RB's are even in this draft? I don't see either one
March 1, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, GreenbleedinNC said: Hard to define "overpaying". Howie's job is deciding what players are worth I see it as you look for the best value signings first. Always want to sign good players that don’t break the bank. It’s not just Rosie’s job. 31 other GMs out there also. Salary cap keeps things fairly even. Can’t have some Yankees type situation. No teams can just lopsidedly buy talent.

We have money to spend and nice draft picks. Howie will decide what the FA values are and if he will pay or not

I would sign the guy we need,then go after value later. Signing "cheap" doesn't make a good "whole picture"
March 1, 20241 yr So you can’t really overpay several players and expect to win trophies. But the common mistake is letting the pricing blind a GM. All that matters is the whole roster totaled together. Nobody really cares if one FA bright in was considered a bad value. Didn’t matter if one particular player was considered overpaid. All that matters is was a roster put together that could win it all.
