I sure hope he will!!!
-
I do think Banks ended the year better than he started. If (big IF) he stays healthy, he probably won't be a complete bust as a FA, but still a hefty overpay.
-
Not sure I buy that. One year for $18M is a pretty big price for Hobbs. There was a bit more of a natural "out" at 2 years... which is why they needed to do the post June designation to save any cap space (~$800k vs $8+M savings ).

Being a #1 FA in the class doesn't mean much, IMO. That just means you are the best player that your original team didn't want to pay. FA is all about scarcity.... if you don't have much value, people still pay $$ for what is available. Often making bad choices. I saw an article comparing FA last year to this year... Mediocre CB and LB last year were getting more money than higher ranked players this year. Supply and demand...

I did post that a Megill trade made sense this past offseason - not to dump him, but to sell at a high point. Devon had some very uneasy moments in his last season as a Brewer. I was starting to get that vibe from Megill last season - though not as strong. Trevor is also (surprisingly) 32 years old. Hopefully none of this (age, usage) drives down this value for a potential future trade, but my gut says that he peaked. -

I'm currently throwing down 44.7 ppg and 12.6 rpg in our local kindergarten league (I was held back). Unfortunately, I have to pull back my aggression a bit as I've reached 4 points of flagrant fouls and I don't want to be suspended.
-
Baseball metrics stunk (VORP)... until they didn't. Sometimes it takes a bit to figure out how to measure and calculate the metrics. Not to mention people handing out the checks realize that last year was a small sample of his career (which had poor PFF ratings prior). It can be both true that he had a nice year (as a backup) last year and not be highly valued due to his previous performances while starting.
-
Sounds a lot like my request to find a cheap CB with some upside (like Eric Stokes signing with the Raiders last year). At 28, he isn't exactly young, but at 6'3", he adds height to an otherwise short backfield.
-
I'm pretty sure that is Micah Parsons. I doubt Gary was ever triple teamed in his life. Ted Thompson was pretty frustrating that way. Ron Wolf had a better balance of FA, draft, and gap filling trades.
-
Amelia Earhart would approve!
-
In hindsight, it is too bad the Packers didn't include Gary last year instead of Clark. They might've given up much less in terms of draft picks and we'd have been better off last year too.
-
Linderbaum to the Raiders for $27M/yr. I know he is the best C in FA, but is he really that game changing to pay that much for a C?
-
We can only max at 4 compensation picks, so if Enagebare is the 5th, getting a FA of equivalent value won't cost any pick either.
-
Because draft picks are a team's lifeblood while FA is a double-edged sword. FA are picking through other team's leftovers while paying for a full price meal. Yes, you can find good players (McKinney, Jacobs), but also find out why teams didn't spend all the money on that player (Hobbs, Banks). In all cases, they tend to be expensive. It's fine to dip into the FA market to fill your gaps, but if you can't draft well and are constantly filling your roster with expensive FAs, you tend to be one of the worst teams in the league. And after giving up two 1st round picks, making sure we have more draft picks (even lower ones) is important. In fact, given Gute's history with 1st round picks, we might make out better with 3rd and 4th rounders.

I texted a friend of mine Saturday who is a huge Purdue BB fan. He complained that I only text him whenever the Badgers beat Purdue. I responded, at least that means I reach out yearly! 😂
-
I thought Rhyan played better than his PFF numbers; especially later in the season. I expected him back this year, but that is quite a bit more than I expected. Perhaps an offseason of focusing on the C position will help him. But seeing how Monk couldn't see the field last year and the team kept signing, cutting, and resigning Lecitus Smith last year for C depth, they still need to draft a C/G for development. I'm not too worried about losing Wooden since he wouldn't have been a 3-4 NT anyway. He did a surprisingly nice job at stopping the run last year but wore down as the game went on. Clearly NT needs to be a focus this year. Hopefully Stackhouse follows in the path of Slaton (terrible rookie season, passable 2nd year depth, good 3rd year) and we add a veteran depth in front of him.
-
I didn't say we shouldn't bring in competition to find a better kicker. But the thought of just booting a decent kicker and putting us back into the situation where we have to find someone new is just horrifying. It's almost like we blacked out 2023 and half of 2024...
-
I would be 50/50 on Hobbs being released. Cash flow + performance says cut him now. Knowing that we need viable NFL CB bodies (and regardless of what anyone things about him... he is one) makes me doubt it. I think Banks will be back (98.37% certainty). He started terribly, but was passable later in the season. You still have the injury question mark... but they knew that going in....
-
Me reading this and remembering the circumstances that brought McManus to the Packers... I don't get the McManus hate. He had a down year, but when you consider the bad blocking and injury there was only a handful of misses that were truly on him. And every kicker will have those.
-
Who is your Brewers Birthday Buddy?
CheezWizHed replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Swing and a miss. At least I can stand next to Logan knowing I'm only one day (and a year or two) older. -
Does anyone record pop times in ST? Would be interesting to see get any feedback from his throwing this spring (objective measurements or not...)
-
I wonder if we can get Levis from the Titans for a 7th round pick? Then we could get Cam Ward in a couple of years. Keep refurbishing their failed QBs... 😉
-
Agreed about the facilities, but also a bit surprising. We just did renovations not long ago and we are already getting dinged? Food, training, and those things should be automatic for getting high marks. Leadership is a tricky thing. I've worked as a manager at three different companies and all three took surveys like this. Those numbers can swing drastically if they take the survey at the "wrong time"; right after a layoff, having a poor year results in poor merit increases, etc... Quite often I get my results with comments like "I like my direct manager, but the company leadership stinks". Hopefully, this is more about the 5-game losing streak at the time than MLF losing the locker room. Hard to know that from the outside though...
-
I wouldn't consider him a bust. Not a huge success, but far more yards than Lloyd... But with Belton, Cooper, Bullard, Musgrave, Reed, Watson, Myers, Dillion, and Jenkins, you have a pretty good record of quality players without any busts. Our run of Williams (still hope), Lloyd (??), Hopper (still hope), Kraft (major hit), Rhyan, Amari Rodgers, Deguara, and Sternberger... isn't nearly as stellar (with Kraft being the saving grace of the group)
