Those guys they can sign right now. The last thing we need (and we’ve seen it before) is for them to miss out on their top FA targets *and* bleed talent of their own. I'd like to keep them both, I assure you.....but.....neither of them are passblocking OLs Quote
TJJackson Posted March 15, 2021 Report Posted March 15, 2021 Don't worry everyone, we have a washed up cornerback coming in for a visit, and one can safely assume Pollack will be running him through drills to see if he can passblock 1 Quote

HoosierCat Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Posted March 15, 2021 At least it wasn’t Lawson. Quote

HoosierCat Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Posted March 15, 2021 Soooo...just looking at the general contours of FA here in the opening hours... The floor for Lawson is about $14 million/year, or just a couple bills below the franchise tag. Probably more like $15 million per. If they aren't going to drop a big number on a top-tier OL (i.e. Thuney) then they may as well do that. They could of course do both and more but that would require pushing the hits into future years and we all know how that works inside PBS. One alternative strategy may be looking at the WR market. There are a lot of good receivers out there and they aren't getting big bucks, so there's an opportunity to find a good, proven player. Would also mean no Chase or WR in round one, but that's not necessarily a negative. Feels like Sewell in round one more and more today,hope he's still there. If not they're almost locking themselves into reaching for Slater. But we'll see if they manage to crack a FA OL. Doesn't look like a particularly active or large DB market at the moment. Maybe they roll the dice and win on WJ3. Quote
TJJackson Posted March 15, 2021 Report Posted March 15, 2021 so is the OG market still "flooded"? jesus christ, still absolute FUCKIN SILENCE from Duke "we wont be sitting on our hands" Tobin Quote
AMPHAR Posted March 15, 2021 Report Posted March 15, 2021 Not too upset at missing on Thuney at that amount. Zeitler was the biggest miss of the day, IMO. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Posted March 15, 2021 Holy shit tj’s on Twitter! And yes of course they lowballed him. Quote

As always, I could live with it if I had confidence they will do anything worthwhile with the money they just “saved.” As is just another missed opportunity. Quote
TJJackson Posted March 15, 2021 Report Posted March 15, 2021 I guess Joke Tobin is gonna count the lowball offer as "not sitting on their hands", right? Meanwhile, Mahomes gets protected while Burrow isnt Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Posted March 15, 2021 This was Goodberry’s next target after Thuney... Quote

Period. I have plenty of money from year 1 to live comfortably, and I dont need to put my life on the line for a team that wont protect me anymore FUCK YOU JOKE TOBIN Quote

That’s the key point. Never really believed they would pay $$$ for a guard AND not sure Interior Line is worth mid tier QB cap hits. But you can’t ride and die with the Jordan’s of the world. 1 Quote

I just doubt that move happens. Similar circumstance and Williams has been high level for two years since injury. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Posted March 15, 2021 Turner would be...fine. I mean, assuming he is healthy he would be an upgrade. Add Sewell/Slater and the line is probably at least below average to average...which is a big step up, if not the kind of step we wanted. Quote
