  Not sure if these numbers are accurate but its floating out there DE is $19.3m and CB is 16m.

Those are not accurate. DE is 15.9 and CB is 14.9.

In case you all missed it, at bottom of previous page is a top 150 ranking from The Athletic I dropped in here. 

[membengal]

Re: Tobin's presser --- I think this summary from Jake is pretty spot on:

 

[TJJackson]

I kinda stopped reading the top 150 list when I noted that Cam Robinson was rated ahead of Daryl Williams

Cam is widely considered a "good riddance" free agent in Jacksonville

Regardless, I appreciate you dropping it here for us, Mem

[membengal]

Just because you disagree with one ranking doesn't mean you should dismiss the entire list, TJ. There are people who are REALLY high on Robinson, and he's still just 25.

[AMPHAR]

I would kick a dog IF Cam Robinson is Bobby Hart replacement. 

 

[COB]

Seahawks are releasing Dunlap.  Anyone want him back here?  Since we kept our DC, no way would he come back.  I’d take him though if we’d gotten a new DC.

[membengal]

He proudly insta'd that his house is for sale now in Cincy, so, no, he's not coming back.

 

Also, I don't want him back. 

[HoosierCat]

I’d be fine with bringing Dunlap back but I suspect that ship has sailed.

Ahem.

The Jags tagged Robinson...

[membengal]

Bucs tag Chris Godwin.

[TJJackson]

Count me as shocked that Cam Robinson would be tagged

I am refreshing ESPN NFL main page every like 10 minutes and I am not seeing this stuff......where are ya'all seeing this?

[membengal]

Twitter if you follow the right breaking news people is where it is at.

[AMPHAR]

Glad Jags fans have to kick a dog instead of me. 
 

Cam better sign that tender fast.  Many Jags fans hoping/wishing it’s just an insurance policy for when they sign Trent Williams then remove the tag, lol

If you are a twitter user, click to this tweet and read the threaded tweets that Andre put up to it - gives a really good overview of the likely options at G in terms of contract and how to potentially address it in FA...

 

[membengal]

Allen Robinson gets the tag from Chicago.

[AMPHAR]

Seeing the potential high priced guards getting cut should be sending up Red flags on their value overall. 

[TJJackson]

so I guess thats it, no tags for either of the two candidates.......

its scary, but I support it

[membengal]

Brandon Allen re-signs for 1 year as Burrow's back-up.

Wonder if they'll still look at a vet.  Probably not, but maybe they should.  Taylor likes Allen quite a bit it seems.  So I'm guessing he's #2.  And I don't think they've paid a back-up worth having since Kitna.

[TJJackson]

I will need to see the terms before I decide if I am happy with the Brandon Allen deal

but I am happy they are finally doing some work here in the last week

I doubt it.   It would be tough to get a high quality vet in here anyway.   Brandon Allen has a handful of starts and a couple wins.   Burrow is the future.

Any fringe starter/back up vet would probably opt for an easier path to snaps.
