I like this

And so it begins...

Both were essentially on prove-it deals and they didn't do enough to stay on the roster. Wagner wasn't as bad as I feared (not great either), but Kirksey seemed lost early and his injury bug was as bad as advertised.

They weren't absolute catastrophes, and didn't ruin the cap long term, so they'll count as Gutey busts, but not of the worst kind.

They're dumping the right ones first.

Not surprised about Kirksey. He played better down the stretch but you have 2 young guys in Barnes and Martin that are probably the future and show more upside at a cheaper price.

Wagner surprises me with the Bak injury. Now I feel like OT is definitely going to be picked early in the draft. Might even be the #1 need now on the roster.

Never room for a backup RTO on a 2nd contract.

Not at that price. But could still see him back on a lighter deal.

This is a sign. The Packers are going after Watt.

They’re over the cap. It’s a sign they’re trying to get under the cap.

Can be both.

I might be in the minority that hopes we can keep Preston. As long as we don't ask him to cover TEs he's been productive.

Doubt we are looking at a situation where dropping Preston guarantees Watt

If they dropped Preston right now they still wouldn’t be under the cap.

It is funny though. When we made the FA signings a few years ago I did say you probably want out of a few of these deals in 2 years because they were some bad contracts later on. I did also say I thought Preston was the better value. Clearly wrong there.

Doubt even more we are looking at a situation where signing JJ means we can keep Preston.

I mean that’s well known. There isn’t any possible scenario where that happens.
