End early FA/draft reveal...
Good stage for us. A few key things come together here:
-re-signed chemistry hub CB Goodwin
-re-signed LB Lincoln and C Townsend (no value, but cohesion)
-landed a couple more FAs at G, CB who likely make the team
So, that's solid. Nothing shocking, but missing on any of those first three would have been something of a blow.
Now, we miss out on WR Kirk Jacobs. He got $7.1m/yr from Houston (constantly poaching my players, those guys) to go be a chem conflict. I had offered $5.5m. He's solid, would have been a nice cohesion/chem guy to keep around as our WR3/WR4, but we'll live.
It didn't occur to me to reneg S Shireman, and he is now holding out, asking for a bump from $3.7m to $12m or so per year. Ouch. He's been solid for us, but this is a classic case of "good fit" over actual skills. I can't fathom paying him big money, he's rated 44/44 overall. Will have to sort out what to do here. Might require dropping one of our no-bonus guys who otherwise could have been solid.
Our draft is rated #23 overall. Actually relatively good for us.
