Free Agency Frenzy Thread

Happy to see Cappa get paid. Glad it’s not us though. I feel like Hainsey can replace him just fine, we are starting to get decent at drafting and developing offensive lineman.

We need a road grader on the opposite side to replace Marpet. Zion Johnson from B/C would make a good choice. So would Jamaree Slayer of UGA

Stinnie is a road grader. Folks forget, but Fournette had his best performances running behind him. I think we need a mobile guard who can excel in the pull game. Hopefully Hainsey is that guy. Really glad we brought Jensen back, but I think we have to cheap out at guard in order to fill out the lineup elsewhere.

If you think so. Then in that case, a solid OT in rounds 2 or 3 would be worth consideration in case Wirfs or D Smith get hurt. We saw what happened in the playoff game vs the Rams.

(knocks on wood) Licht hasn't missed on any Olinemen he's drafted in the 3rd round or earlier since he's been the GM. Trading for Logan Mankins and signing Ryan Jensen in FA have proved to be smart moves as well (does Licht have think for ginger Olinemen?).

The signing of Anthony Collins in that first free agent class that was a colossal bust was really the only blemish on any of Licht's OL transactions.
Kadeem Edwards might have been the worst Oline pick of Lich't tenure, but he was a 5th rounder and even he ended up briefly making an NFL roster w/ the Cowboys in 2017.

Ya, I am definitely down with a Day 2 OL, one who can compete at guard and backup at OT. But I think I’m ok with Stinnie and Hainsey at guard. Both have impressed in the reps they have gotten, and we have three veteran pillars around them in Wirfs, Jensen, and Smith.

Our 1st round pick needs to be a CB. Sucks to be forced into this situation but here we are.

Hainsey looked comfortable in space on that Scotty Miller reverse late in the season.

He's not the athlete Marpet is/was, but few interior Olinemen are.

If the Bucs feel good about Hainsey and Stinnie who they just re-signed then the "need" for a Guard/Center is not as high and maybe we look to add a player in round 1 would be more impactful in 2022 with Brady returning.

Ya I think Wirfs posted that play, only play I can really recall of Hainseys lol but that’s exactly what we’d need opposite Stinnie who’s a mauler. I think having the pillars on the OL at both OT spots and at C, allows us to go cheap at guard. If we use cap/draft picks on a guard I guess it’ll mean Licht isn’t sold on those two, but hopefully they are. Getting a #1 CB has to be priority 1 and I think our only path to that is hitting on one with our first rounder. Hopefully we can bring Lenny back too, and then we can focus on depth along OL, DL, secondary, and perhaps WR (as I’m thinking we lose Godwin after this year).

I'd go DT over CB in round one if you have to choose between the two. If we're lining up with Nacho next to Vea, we're in trouble. Granted, what Suh and CDIII do will change my mind.

[Phantom]

Doctor’s favorite terrible QB Teddy Bridgewater is signing with Miami

[Redrum]

We just resigned Carlton Davis.

[Redrum]

Good deal for us after seeing what JC Jackson just got.

[BearLandBucFan]

That is huge!

[Kress]

Booya!

Oh wow Nice!!

[real bucs fan]

Welp, guess we keeping Davis!

[Backside]

Unexpected and huge. Thanks Tom

[whistlepig777]

The knocks on CD3 made no sense to me. He doesn't give you many highlight plays because most of the time he's got his guy covered and the opposing QB goes elsewhere with the ball.

That's exactly what you want from your #1 corner.

[Swashbuckler]

YES!!!!!

I'd love to take Zion Johnson in the 1st and be able to keep Hainsey as the backup interior OL guy and the heir apparent to Jensen.

Penalties and some injury issues are the knocks on him but he's improved every year and has played some great games against some great wide outs.

[Backside]

Really need to lock up Whitehead now.

So underrated.

Now that we have brought back Davis, I’m more open to that. Probably will wait until the FA dust settles before deciding who I’d target.

I'm leaning offensive line or WR. I want Tom to have an embarrassment of riches again.

[Swashbuckler]

Draft offensive line ASAP. Brady's weapons don't mean shit if he's on his back


See: Chase is WIDE the fuck open on 4th down but Burrow is gonna die

[Phantom]

Former Giants’ TE Evan Engram intends to sign a one-year, fully-guaranteed $9 million deal that could go to $10 million with incentives with the Jacksonville Jaguars, per source.

Last year I wanted Elijah Moore but felt like too much invested at WR. We know how that turned out. If we don’t extend Godwin, might as well draft his replacement and give Brady a dynamic trio for another year.

I am the OG running back fan but I’m hoping we keep Lenny.

Trevlon Burks or Jameson Williams?

I thought Carlton was a goner, this is amazing news.

Is Williams expected back for TC? I think if you go first round WR you get a guy you know will play this year. Part of the thought process is to give Brady a big 3 at WR.

[TonyLip]

CD3 ? Sign?

[Primeminister]

Same thing I said. I gave up on CD3 after the Godwin tag.
