So, he isn't wanting big city?


Top two contenders WAS and SF...Yeah I think he does.

---

@JasonLaCanfora Should Josh Norman not sign a contract with WSH upon his visit there Fri - and there are ongoing talks - SF pushing. TB, JAX, TEN monitoring

---

So quick question, Washington has under $12M in cap space according to overthecap.com. How the hell can they afford Josh Norman?

---

@AdamSchefter Josh Norman’s deal, when complete, expected be between $14 to $15 MIL per year, per sources. 5-year deals being discussed with Wash and SF.



Welp

---

San Fran should win that negotiation battle, if Washington only has 12M available cap.

No commercial messages in sigs

Shock the world

Welp if they do, welp if they don't.

---

@chadevansports The @Jaguars' interest in Josh Norman is stronger than media members like @AdamSchefter claim, but it's still not as strong as SF, WASH.



Btw, this guy was wrong all offseason.

---

Sounds like it's already a done deal with Washington. 

---

On the brightside, we get to retain our core

Dave still needs to hit this draft out of the park

Welp

Put me on the no thanks side.

I didn't paste the article, but it pretty much sums my thoughts of spending crazy money in Free Agency and then expecting a win when a team only had 4 wins on average for the last 3 years under Head Coach Gus Bradley.  I can understand the argument of spending big in Free Agency and being very aggressive when you had a season of maybe 8 wins or more but couldn't get the Super Bowl win.. say you only need this one position & this guy is the best at it then sure... but usually it only generates excitement from the fan base in order to sell tickets.

 

I am not saying it is a horrible thing if done right, sure GM Dave Caldwell has had a few misses in Free Agency in the last three years but at least he is getting young guys only 4 or 5 years into their career or signing players on prove it one year contracts especially if health concerns are a problem...

Some of the most mismanaged, unintelligent teams reside in Q4, including the Titans, Browns, Jaguars, Raiders, Buccaneers, Redskins, Dolphins, Falcons, Jets and Bears.  These 10 teams have averaged records the last 3 years of 16-32, or a .333 record.  These 10 teams are in the top 13 for spending the most in free agency.

Peyton Manning,Owen Daniels,TJ Ward,Aqib Talib,Emmanuel Sanders,Demarcus Ware,Evan Mathis,and if you want to include him....Brandon Marshall. All free agents that started for Denver but people bash spending

It worked once so it should always work!


P.S. Manning was overpaid for riding a defense.

It is true. Seems like the Raiders and Jaguars have improved in management, though.

The problem with this article (as well as pretty much any politically or agenda driven article these days), is that they conflate correlation and causation.  One of the first rules you learn in statistics is that correlation does not equal the causation.  The most logical conclusion to be drawn from that article is that the teams that spend in free agency tend to be bad teams.  That doesn't mean that free agency by itself causes them to be bad.  

 

It's far more likely that teams that need to improve are more likely to explore free agency as an option to improve their roster.  Good teams will be less likely to spend because they don't need to improve their roster.  Now, I am not saying the author is inherently wrong in his conclusion.  I am just saying the data could be interpreted differently.  

 

I think it's safe to say that teams that habitually spend big in free agency have a bad front office.  The Jags and other rebuilding teams can't be included in that group as of yet, imo.
