Drake London is pretty solid as a replacement. And maybe Kirk Cousins will offer some input to pull Pitts' career outta the dumpster.

Getting our own back was always the #1 priority. It was never likely we'd be big players in this phase of free agency.

We have $4.8 million in cap space and have to be cap compliant in two days.

Don't expect much my dude.

I think new deals for AWJ and Wirfs that clear up temporary cap space may happen before the Bucs sign any outside FAs.

Which I don’t expect us to sign many of, wouldn’t surprise me if we didnt add a single noticable name.

And I'm not going to do any math, but we've spent more than just about anyone so far. Other than Atlanta...

2 often injured corners, a few players not on the team, a WR who can be mistaken for Mr. Glass.

Not the best way to construct a team, but here we are.

When it comes to NFL rosters it's better to be a redeveloper than it is an architect.

Paying Dean was so stupid last year. You cant pay both your starting corners like that when neither are elite. It looks even worse now when we have no pass rush but are paying corners. Hopefully we move off one of the corners and can better invest that money.

Completely disagree. One, we absolutely could and did pay both corners like that. Two, these are all moving pieces. Every year looks different. You reform yourself to the landscape.

We have developed the heck out of our CBs from Davis to Dean to Zyon. And good thing too. We could very well move on from Davis. Now all of the sudden we've got two pretty darn good starting CBs costing a total of $16M a year for both this year and next. And we can move on from Dean after this year as well if we need be, but more than not we'll likely keep him while developing his eventual replacement as well.

Going out on a limb here, but I'm thinking that when the odds makers release their futures bets, the Falcons will be the odds on favorite to win the NFC South. Like some idiots here, I too will still drop a few dollars on the Bucs to win.

It would be one thing if we asked our corners to lock up man-to-man and be the biggest swinging dicks on defense. Dean and CD3 are the 10th and 12th highest paid guys at their position, and if their play was commensurate with their salaries I doubt anyone would complain. If they were edges, we would expect them to be top of the league in sacks. Borderline probowlers, these guys should be.

But both CD3 and Dean are just okay, and they're consistently asked to drop-and-chase, which you don't need to pay elite corners to do.

I mean, what do I know, but still. Seems like an odd way to use resources.
