We killed this...

A number of us that have been cheering this FA period NEVER agree with one another.

There are members of some very defined camps here at FH, looking at each other and smiling from ear to ear.

This was EXACTLY how you handle free-agency. You shop for bargains and you fill as many holes as you can with legitimate NFL players who are, at least, just a guy. You hand out one and two year contracts with easy outs and you focus on reclamation projects and players who are trying to redeem their value.

...and next year, you one-and-done the ones who underperform, and either sign the victors... or let them walk for points in the comp pick formula...

Grier may be the smartest GM we've had in 20 years.
 
Coleman top 10 Nickle corner in the league

Butler a nasty pass rushing DT

Foster - 4.4 speed deamon played w Tua at Alabama at WR

Fuller - 9th best WR in the NFL!

Brown - power back who can catch balls all day in the backfield

Sukra - Center who if he gets his snapping issues taken care of is a dominate run blocker

Brissett - top tier backup QB

Wilson - RT - 1st round pick in 2020 from the Titans

McKinney - 2018 Pro Bowl MLB

Were making the playoffs with this team. Only bad QB play can mess this up, once we add the draft picks we're gonna be one of the most talented teams in the whole NFL

It's funny how so many agreed with the idea that we have to build through the draft instead of spending big in free agency. Now, all of a sudden, the tune changes for some reason. I'm very happy about our free agency.

It's because although we spent we didn't spend big on any one Suh like contract.

This was our best and smartest FA in decades. Last year by comparison was a disaster. Greir learned from his mistakes and was calculated and frugal. Its a master work really.

??? We didn't really spend big in free agency. We spent low prices and short contracts. And you do have to build throught the draft, that is where the team cornerstones come from. The free agents you sprinkle in between.

Building an NFL team is so different in the salary cap Era, but I feel like Miami has finally figured it out.

You're right about those short-term deals, structuring contracts to move on if necessary.

The draft is where it's at. Not overspending in free agency.

There's also the new TE who's supposed to be a ST ace. And we also got a new punter who could be a nice upgrade over Haack.

During the presser few days ago, Flo was saying he looks for upgrade in every position. Grier and Flo delivered.
Now we can use the draft for depths. I like to hear from you, given all these new signees, what should we do with our top four picks. I still say take wr and edge rusher.

you use FA so you can go BPA in the draft.

no reaches.

you take THE BEST PLAYER on the board at any non-QB position.

if it's super close, go with the higher need (of course).

set your board, trust your board.

NO REACHES.

Many of them say it... but they really don't mean it. A lot of them are casual fans and FFL players. They recognize a few names and love excitement... they want a quick fix... a rush.
