2020 GMO Free Agent Bids

Like if I’d had even 24 hours to myself in the last 10 days, I might have had a more aggressive FA plan with the Texans, and a couple value signings might have been challenged.
But I never really got that far.

 

An owner do what an owner gotta do...!

 

Honestly with everything else the Cowboys had going on I thought he might be the guy who got away. He's 30 but has always had a really productive career and should have a few more seasons where he can be an impact pass rusher. Unless the Giants are going big game hunting I hope he's an actual target for them. I kind of like a strategy where they bring in a few of those tier two pass rushers rather than trying to pay one guy 22 million a season...

 

Dallas Cowboys match the offer for Amari Cooper, and sign him.

WR Amari Cooper (Dallas)
$21,000,000

 

Yeah, I'm in a tough spot with Dak, Amari Cooper, Byron Jones, and Robert Quinn. Tried to stay in both bidding sessions, but it's getting a little too pricey for Byron Jones (great defender, but doesn't get any takeaways).

It's interesting, because I really think it might be easier to replace a DE this year than a legitimate shut-down CB.

 

This year you might be right. There are tiers of pass rushers and Dallas still has D-law so they really need a complimentary piece more than a main guy. And there are a surprising large amount of those kind of guys available this year.

 

Raiders bid
WR Emmanuel Sanders (SF)
$6,000,000

 

Bengals bid
Andrew Whitworth
10,000,000

Previous Bid (Cle)
8,500,000

 

I'm out on this one. Not going to 8 didgets for a stop gap LT who is almost my age.

 

Did you see the Bengals O-line? Cant afford not to spend it.

 

Raiders bid
LB Reggie Ragland (KC)
$6,000,000

 

Yeh, I've seen them. Thought I was watching the Browns' O-line.

 

Take it back please, nobody wants to see a Browns team in Cincy, we have too many Browns' just by looking at the ownership.

 

Eagles Bid on Jason Peters OT $6,000,000

 

The New York Jets sign:

G Graham Glasgow (DET)

Please Note:

1. All RFA, ERFA and tagged players have been moved to the "Signed" tab.
2. I had apparently made this harder than it needs to be. Moving forward . . . there will be no "Awarded" tab.
3. If the 48 hour clock has passed with no new bids, and the high bidder hasn't posted that the player has been signed - then the Status column will simply say "Awarded".
