If we were to go after someone like Kirk Cousins, we'd likely have to sacrifice Smith and ARob, since Cousins would likely demand the highest salary in the NFL. The same goes for Drew Brees, just on a much shorter contract. It doesn't completely take us out of the race for a free agent QB, just probably the top 2 guys. We'd definitely still be in the Alex Smith, Jimmy Garrappolo and Sam Bradford sweepstakes though.

That was a long time ago. He's done nothing since. Let him walk, unless he takes a reasonable contract. No need to waste money by overpaying him via the Franchise tag.

I disagree. If we were to sign a new QB we would get rid of Blakes 19 mil, which would negate almost the entire salary of a replacement QB and you could make up the difference by cutting Ivory. Our cap situation remains stable, the F.O has done a nice job.

People forget how good A-Rob was looking this training camp and preseason. Absolutely working folks.

I was factoring in negating Blake's $19 million, but we have other players who will need to be signed as well and we still need to find a viable run stuffing DT and a WR. 

Training camp and preseason mean nothing. Lots of players look good in training camp and preseason then when the season comes, they disappear. The only thing that matters is actual games that count and ARob has been a huge disappointment lately. Now, he's coming back from an injury and most receivers don't make a major impact right away after tearing an ACL. He'll likely have a sub par season in 2018, because most WR's do after such an injury.

 Cmon man, Hurns is a nice player and all, but he's not on par with the top guys in the league. He doesn't win on enough routes or get consistent separation. He's above average in the slot, other than that just a guy.

I never said he was on par with the top guys. He's a solid #2 WR, but I still believe he is much better than Lee and given what ARob has done lately and now the injury, I stand pat. I'd rather keep Hurns over those guys and look for another true #1.
