free agency thread- greg jennings signed

Thank goodness Jennings signed. A bit expensive, but not horrible.

Hopefully they pick up at least one of the many available, solid defensive backs as well.

Jennings was probably the FA receiver I wanted the most at the beginning of the offseason and I like the fact we were able get him 2-3 million per year cheaper than Mike Wallace. I don't think we have money for anyone else though unless we want to make some cuts.

i'm glad we got a good wr on the team now, its a fair bit of money but hopefully it will be worth it

Should be looking to restructure Jared Allen and Kevin Williams to free up some space.

That would be nice but getting players to accept a pay cut isn't necessarily easy. Are we willing to cut K-Will if we get a DT in the first round?

man that would be tough, of course i didn't think we'd cut winfield either...

depending on who you talk to :dontknow:

We still need to sign our draft picks with that money though, so realistically we're right up against the cap.

yeah i'd say we're probably done (unless somebody does a major restructuring)

signed seth olsen from the colts, for some oline depth (schwartz went to the chiefs)
he can both both some guard and tackle so that's good

A thread that's gone over 3 pages? It's been over 2 years since that happened on this board.

I blame Ponder.

Devilzsidewalk · Post #34 » by **Devilzsidewalk** » Thu Mar 21, 2013 2:24 am

Lakers and Wolves sucking probably has a good bit to do with it. I'd much rather talk about the Vikings right now.

I saw rumors that the Vikings were still trying to restructure some vets. It would be great if they freed up some cash for one of those DBs, at least once they drop their asking price.
