Rams say hi—though I'll admit they're more the exception than the norm and they won free agency like 4-5 offseasons in a row before finally winning.

Generally that is true. However, I'll argue that the Eagles don't win the Super Bowl if they didn't do a good job in for agency last year. Baum, Barkley!!, and Behkton, put them over the top.

I don't mind if we strikeout or get outbid on a lot of these free agents today and tomorrow. The only one i really want is Drew Dalman. Yes it would be nice to have Bosa, Allen, Jarett, etc but we need to build through the draft. Let the rookies play and maybe bring in some low cost vet players so there will be at least some competition at each spot.

Well, excited to see how FA and the draft next month play out!

Priorities:
- Sign a C/Oline piece
- Sign Brock to a smart, controlled deal
- Perhaps pick up a dline piece if one becomes available.
- Perhaps trade Aiyuk, whether for picks or a piece we need (linebacker, dline, line, safety) for ex. Keeping him would be fine if we are able to do the other things we need.

- Draft priorities: Trenches! And then any of the other items LB, S, CB, WR, TE backups, etc.

Free agency is a complementary piece. You still need to build 90% of your team.

I hope we do SOMETHING but I can see where you're both coming from.

Lynch basically said "don't expect anything" though. And I can't blame him. Our recent free agency blockbusters like Hargrave totally blew up in our faces and backfired.

Twitter being down at the start of legal tampering period isn't ideal...

Yes, I'm down with this.

True, but only Barkley was the big time signing and he made a ton of sense. They also got him at a discount. They targeted players they had plans for that underachieved on their prior teams. Spent right, don't overspend.

Speaking of Becton, it appears he might (and I say might) be available.

Need to hurry up and get Brock done before Darnold signs something ridiculous

I was thinking the same thing.
