After signing rookies we're still probably sitting on more than $20M in cap space.
So what the fuck are we doing with it??
Here's a question, and it's not a trick question either: Going into the draft, what were the two biggest areas of need for our team?
I'll answer that for you: 1) pass rush and 2) TE.
We drafted Ferrell and whoever the hell Maxx is. And Moreau, who has never done better than 300 yds IIRC.
So as far as I'm concerned, we're still sitting here in need of players at both positions. And there just so happen to be TWO guys out there on the trade block who are experts at those positions.
1. Clowney - Yeah, he'll be expensive and he's over-hyped but HOU is in a real bind w this guy and we might not even have to cough up a first-rounder to take him off their hands. One would hope that, given the fact that our entire team had 13 sacks last year, Mayock has already had conversations with them about this kid. Because I think we could sign him for less than the Mack deal. I think he's worth a sub-Frank Clark kind of deal, given his injury history and his failure to ever live up to his pre-draft hype.
2. Kyle Rudolph - He's 29 so he has a few years left in him. And he's the total package - a guy who can get us 700 yds and 7 TDs AND he's 265 lbs and can damn sure get in the way of some OTs. Vikes don't need him anymore, he'll come cheap.
What I'm trying to say here is that we should NOT be standing pat where we are. We haven't added enough juice to this team, and we have MONEY to spend!
We also need another #2-level WR for fuck's sake.
And no, none of these fuckin UDFAs we signed are worth a shit. They will all come in one door and right out the other.
