This isn't going to make negotiations with Savage any easier.

I am not expecting Savage to be at the top of the market, but that ceiling just went way up.

There are now 5 safeties making over 15M per year.

I think I'd let him walk, personally, especially with how well the guys behind him are playing.

We already picked up his 5th-year option.
So he's under contract for 2022 and 2023. There's a lot of time between now and then to determine if we should or shouldn't let him walk. I think he's a slow learner with the mental side of the game. He started to click in the former defense and took a step back last year with a new defense. I'll hold to see if he jumps forward as this season progresses.
I understand that we're in the extension window, so it's not too early to talk about. But I don't generally think that top-of-market safety contracts in August 2022 have a major impact on the Savage decision at present.
I think anytime the top of the market moves it trickles down to every player at that position. I get your points on timing, but this definitely impacts the Savage decision, especially in the shorter-term of the window.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑17 Aug 2022 10:10But I don't generally think that top-of-market safety contracts in August 2022 have a major impact on the Savage decision at present.

That’s how a guy like MVS gets 10M a season.NCF wrote: ↑17 Aug 2022 10:15I think anytime the top of the market moves it trickles down to every player at that position.

Put me in the amos camp. He's a little older but this moves his needle

He also has some cap charges on void years right now, so it would be cap-prudent to extend him through that timeline so that we're not paying dead money for a guy after he's gone.Backthepack4ever wrote: ↑17 Aug 2022 11:33Put me in the amos camp. He's a little older but this moves his needle
I wonder what Amos' market would be. He's consistent at an elite level, but not elite at a consistent level.

But yeah, with Amos unsigned after 2022 and Savage after 2023, this would have been a very ideal year to draft a safety with a decent pick, or perhaps even a couple late rounders (the Moore/MVS/EQ, Williams/Jones/Mays, Runyan/Hansen/Stepaniak strategy). At least give yourself the option of not A) overpaying out of necessity, B) having to sign a stop gap FA, still overpaid, or C) not have just complete question marks back there.
I feel like our D has a chance to be too good the next handful or years, would be a shame to screw that up by having some complete liabilities back there simply for the lack of trying/cap space.

Palmy - "Very few have the ability to truly excel regardless of system. For many the system is the difference between being just a guy or an NFL starter. Fact is, everyone is talented at this level."
I think safety is the one position on D where you can find good-to-ok talent at a rather cheap price. Difference makers cost a lot, of course, but you don't have to stoop to "liabilities" for the lack of cap space like at premium positions.BF004 wrote: ↑17 Aug 2022 11:41But yeah, with Amos unsigned after 2022 and Savage after 2023, this would have been a very ideal year to draft a safety with a decent pick, or perhaps even a couple late rounders (the Moore/MVS/EQ, Williams/Jones/Mays, Runyan/Hansen/Stepaniak strategy).

Watson, 11 games, fined, treatment.
Bardy - is he retiring again? Bowles doesn't seem to know when he will rejoin the team.
Lions - still suck.

Brady just needs some media attention turned back on him for a week or two. Can't blame him, it's been like 2 minutes since the ESPN series about him finished...Ghost_Lombardi wrote: ↑18 Aug 2022 12:08Watson, 11 games, fined, treatment.
