Hope I'm doing this correctly. Actually, I hope that everyone forgets to log in for a couple days.

As I mentioned in the AJ Green thread, you did fine with your first bids, just understand that if you don't bid high initially and the bid sells it may be an easy match for the tendering team. That makes bidding on RFA's a bit more strategic, and in many cases you go in knowing you have to overbid to pry the player from the tendering team.

[Bounty Hunter]

I wonder if Chuck /Cards are watching Lamar Miller bids. What about it Chuck you watching?

[Burt the Butcher]

he is on golf course or in casino ;-)

[chasmvp19]

I see...not sure I like it...

[The Knights of Ni]

Kinda slow right now

[Bounty Hunter]

Can we speculate on who might match/decline and the ramifications of the actions? It might be like the reporters do during free agency.

[chasmvp19]

Poor Bobby...

[Bounty Hunter]

what's poor about it. I'm sure we all have thoughts about who will match. I already called 1 of them right.

Please do!

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

Yep. You can speculate. But owners who have RFA's "in play" cannot comment ahead of time whether they'll match or decline. It goes against the spirit of the RFA rules (and then changes how other owners bid on RFAs).

Preds speculation on the currently pending RFA's

Dez White 100% decline
AJ Green match (though difficult decision)
Lamar Miller decline

[Bounty Hunter]

Ok I'll start with the commish. Can't see how he matches Dez without magic or divine intervention. Blockbuster trade maybe?

Of course that was almost to easy.

Lamar Miller is a decline at the current numbers, however cards need a RB. Chuck might try a cut and resign on Brees.

[Liquid Swords]

I wouldn't be so sure about the Dez decline. He can easily afford both and run a lean team. But that would likely lead to declines on Hurns and Murray.

[Preds]

I suspect Dez decision is pending sale of Hurns. Unfortunately for Jim, Hurns may stay on the market longer than the match period. Not so sure I'm done there just yet...

Good point Patrick, that's right out of your playbook. Load up with studs, be lean and mean.

yah, that only works as long as you do not have any injuries....

...not. I lost Charles early and Forte for a few weeks, but still ended up in the Super Bowl thanks to some key in-season FA acquisitions.

What's your prediction on Jordy Nelson? ;-)

[Bounty Hunter]

I might decline or I might match.

Thought my comment was a no brainer and under stood by all as it applies to all RFAs.

Yeah I'm not quite there yet.

[Bounty Hunter]

I'll admit it was a bad attempt at being Captain Obvious.

[chasmvp19]

Holy heck Bobby...prognosticator extraordinaire...that exact thought went through my mind as soon as I saw the bids rolling in on Miller...I can jump other directions, but I can actually lose Drew if I have to with my Raider QB on the rise...Well Played Sir...
