Comments on: More than 25 percent of the Hot 100 are still getting the cold shoulder http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/26/more-than-25-percent-of-the-hot-100-are-still-getting-the-cold-shoulder/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 25 May 2013 00:28:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: diehardtwinsfan http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/26/more-than-25-percent-of-the-hot-100-are-still-getting-the-cold-shoulder/#comment-1679749 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 15:48:03 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=430702#comment-1679749 This is what I don’t get about what the Vikings are doing. They need a field stretching WR, a couple of safeties, and some help at DT as well… and I’m assuming they draft Kalil to shore up the line. There are several guys that at this point can be had cheaply and provide a pretty significant upgrade to their team. While I understand they have 10 picks, some of them will likely flop.

Not to mention that this team has sooo many defensive holes, yet they lost sooo many games by very close scores. They have a lot of talent, but their supporting cast has been abysmal. A few wise upgrades and they can at the least be competitive and not an embarrasment next season. I’m not expecting a ring, but a few decent signings and they can be competitive.

Having a “hot” 100 is moronic. All you did was post almost all the free agents and added the word hot.

I think I am done with crappy site now. Seriously you know you suck when ESPn is giving out better info

On a side note, I’m guessing the NFLPA was thinking that a rookie salary cap would mean more money for veterans. Instead, it appears that the cap means teams are saving money by hoping to have younger, cheaper options from the draft.

A good number of them left are either old (Fletcher, Carter, Clark, etc), have injury concerns (McNeil, Castillo, Bell,etc), or are head cases (Benson, Edwards). Never mind you have 2 in your top 10 that are restricted.

The only Hot 100 list he belongs on is the Hot Garbage 100.

Of the 5 in your top 50 who aren’t signed, 2 are RFAs. 21 of the next 50 are unsigned. That’s a pretty good situation, all things considered: it means that teams that don’t fulfill a need in trades (the owners’ meetings start today), or in the draft (1 month from today), will pick from the remaining free agents. This is how this process should work.

It also explains why everybody else did a top 50 rather than a top 100. Sure it’s a great FA class, but there weren’t really 100 top quality players this year.

Even after the draft, some may find themselves without an offer and waiting for injuries in camp and pre-season before their phone rings. It’s a cruel business…

Hmmm….directly related to the league handcuffing the Cowboys and Redskins of almost 20 mill this year?

——————————-

That’s a contributing factor, I’m sure. If so, then LOL at the NFL and the NFLPA for thinking it would help their players by taking cap space away from its two biggest spenders. smh again

I’m sure a lot of them will find work, but you can’t really blame teams for seeing who they end up with in the draft (young, better potential, cost-effective and controllable) before bringing in a one or two year guy who has a lot of miles on him or has injury concerns.
