Just look at this team.
We could have kept Buckner. Got rid of Armstead. Signed Tom Brady. But we told him we weren't interested. We kept Jaylon Hurd on the roster instead of a useful player. We didn't have to trade away years of picks and high picks.
There are reasons why this team loses. The opportunity to win was there.
Just sign Tom Brady. Like we had an extra 25 mill just sitting around. That was not the case bud, this isn't Madden. Hurd's cap hit is 1 million, it's not that big of a deal.
He wanted to play here. We told him we weren't interested. Tampa Bay wanted to win and did win the Super Bowl.
Every team wants to win bud. Tampa had no one at QB and we had our franchise QB still. They also have a GM with New England roots too. Not sure if you knew that.
We would have had to jettisoned JG to make Brady work, plus we would have had to have Buck take a team friendly deal, which he didn't want too, he wanted to be paid $20M+ a yr, he got $21M a yr. Getting rid of Armstead wouldn't have saved any cap room in 2020, he was scheduled to be a UFA, we couldn't tag him, despite the reports of the idea of tag & trade him, we didn't have the money to do it.

Dude, they couldn't do anything due to the cap, when will people realize that the f**king pandemic f**ked not just us over, but every 32 teams over, the cap wouldn't have dropped by $15.7M, it would have went up to $215M, so in a sense every team lost $32.5M, as the cap would have went up by $16.8M, add in the $15.7M lost, that's $33.8M lost, and then in 2022, the cap would have been $225M, now it's gonna be $208.2M at the most as of now, a loss of another $16.8M, this is why we're so tight, and can't make moves, and don't say KC this KC that, they had players who had high base salaries, able to convert them into signing bonuses, and spread out over 5yrs, the guys we signed, Trent, Juice, Verrett, Jones, etc.... all had either a little above the minimum or the minumum base salary, and the only guys to save cap room from would have been Ward, which they did($5.86M), then AA, Laken, Jimmy, & if they wanted to redo Dee again, so these fantasies of adding Gilmore were never happening, every GM says we did our due diligence, no GM is going to come out and say well we didn't want him or whatever, the first time I've heard Kyle say anything about the cap was about claiming OBJ.

that's nice, it won't happen though. How do any of you know some of these mistakes on decision-making weren't Peters also?
You'd think the GM is allowed to do his job. Or are you insinuating Lynch is an empty suit?
He's right, some of these guys were Adam Peters players he liked, the process in SF is Lynch, Kyle, & Peters making the football decisions, all have say in it, before 2021 it included Mayhew.
