I’m hoping Watson doesn’t pick the Saints and we can get Armstead

I’d like to believe that’s what the Colts are waiting on

IMO landing Armstead is the most important play at this point

GB is trading Adams to McDickface for their 1st and 2nd rounders. Also, Allen Robinson to LAR .

Hopefully you're right on Armstead, but most likely Ballard's actually waiting on all of the good FA to be signed so he can bargain shop for a player or 2 then hoard the rest of the ridiculous amount of cap space we have

Many of you, I can tell, are not finance guys at all.

Can't just go to Walmart and shop for players


I have wanted to spend shit tons of money on things and then run it by Smitty and he says NO

I am not a finance guy. I want what I want. But there is a line you cannot cross. That's why you have those guys.

Those guys are not fun to talk to about spending, but mostly they are right.


It's like a diet. Don't eat more than you can burn

Ballard is not cheap. He has a Smitty

Bummer. We'll definitely miss him. Great ST player and a good backup at safety.

We have the most Cap money because we don't have a QB and a LT

Those 2 reasons are why we have the most cap money. My guess is we will spend most of the cap space we have once the QB is decided on.

I am guessing some of you want him to just sign a QB. But I am glad he is taking his time to try and get the best player at the best price.

He has already signed a DE to play the LEO position and I saw an article on FB that he had a DT from San Diego agreeing to come here but at the last minute Flus talked him into going to Chicago after the guy they signed failed the physical.

Some of you act like Ballard never does anything in FA. He does. He just doesn't waste money.

Spending BIG in FA is a losing combination more often that not. Especially if you don't have a great QB.

My guess is now that Watson is signed we will move quicker on the QB. Once that is determined then the LT will be next. I think we may get one FA WR but would prefer a FA TE. Get both I'd be happy.

Most of the rest will come in the draft.

BTW. I expect more moves on the D side of the ball than the offense.

After the qb situation is taken care of all the money will be spent. Don’t worry.
