And it sounds like NT isn't deep in this draft. A short-term deal for Poe doesn't address the position long-term, but it adds an asset that they could then tag or extend if he proves to be healthy and good.

But we paid those guys like they sucked. We all knew it

If Ballard signs Poe for 1 year, then it's a low risk signing and should not be given the degree of importance you're placing on it.

Donkeys sign Kerr and Peko.

Can't imagine he would command an unacceptable contract.

Some dipshit projected 3 years, $11.4M with $3.7M guaranteed. I have to agree that is probably the range where Butler will sign. If so, I would have liked to have him back for that price.

I would give him that, oh wait a minute I don't have that much ... I could give him $2.58 and 20 minutes with Omaha's better half ...

I am kind of interested in Trumaine Johnson for our 2nd. He is proven but of course he has a cost associated with him.

I like the idea of drafting players but but this team needs pieces now. I would hope it would end up as good as the VD trade.

Like Omaha said in an earlier post. (Paraphrase). We have holes and money so it isn't that big of a deal if we overspend a little to get what we need.

What is up with the ILBs? Hightower, Brown, Hodges, Riley, Minter. None signed.

Come on, Ballard. Get one.

Poe, Butler, one of the ILBs.
