Torrey Smith probably roasted Colin Jones in practice and said “this clearly isn’t going to work”

...and then dropped the pass.

I do remember when Keshawn was vocal about us drafting Dwayne Jarrett and then was cut 2 days later....

Reid is getting fat and happy waiting for America’s new frontier in money— lawsuit money—no concussions, workouts or coach yelling required. He’s not coming back to football,..

Ive been a Torrey supporter but he needs to get off Twitter and get on the jugs machine and get to practice catching bombs from Cam,....

if we sign a safety, I’d rather trade for Earl,..

I just don't get how Mitchell isn't the option right now, Tepper saw him for a few years in Pittsburgh, he is staying in shape during the season, and has been here before and comes with no baggage.  Just makes too much sense.

Mitchell was bad when he was here, we don't need MORE slowness.    Also we need a FS.

Get Karl Joseph instead. Depending on how hurt he is? 

I'm a fan of Karl Joseph from his college days, but I admit he hasn't lived up to the hype as a pro.

Would a change of scenery do him good? Maybe. The problem there is that Gruden is still getting roasted for the Khalil Mack trade. He might be a tad gun shy, or he might make high demands.

Either way it could be tough to swing a deal

Think about it for a second.

Look how defiant we are in regards to actively seeking out a safety.

Now, you're advocating us trading for one that will demand around $8-12 million a year over the span of a career?

Not happening.

The most we'll see is trading for a younger guy still in his rookie contract with a few years left on it and the ability to start.

...and I don't think that will even happen in this regime.

  I don’t care if it happens or not. Just showed that the money wasn’t as unreasonable as you made it out to be. And if I could a Pro Bowl caliber Safety for the next 4 years for 10/yr, you better believe I would. And cutting a useless Torrey Smith, before the season, and saving 5M would have been a nice start. Our only semi-legit Safety is 37years old. 

  I don’t know what the FO will do? I know I would explore my options including Thomas.

Will have to drop the suit first.  People keep bringing his name up, but forget that he is suing the NFL currently...can't imagine that he could/would get hired doing it that way.

And yes, if he is healthy and in good shape I'm all for a tryout at the very least.

Yep, completely down to bring him on this team, but he would definitely need to drop the suit first.

[Mr. Scot]

Mike Mitchell didn't do himself any favors looking past Jacksonville in the playoffs last year. To be honest, he made a pretty big fool of himself.

That might not matter if his level of play hadn't fallen off, but it definitely has.

Gruden has that antiquated Safety thinking. Bigger is better. I just don’t see that in today’s game. Joseph hasn’t been great, but decent when healthy. Gruden barely played him. This ain’t Mack. I’m only talking a 4th. Which probably wouldn’t do it. 

[London Loves Luke]

How do we have one thread with everyone hating on Ron for not signing Reid and another thread with everyone hating on Torrey for suggesting we should sign him??? 

Huddle you proper drunk today...

[Cpt slay a ho]

Uh oh the shut up and dribble, aka shut up and catch a pass crowd is out.

 

torrey just said what majority of us was thinking, Jones is a huge liability at safety doesn’t take a brain surgeon to notice

How would you classify Ron Rivera's thinking on the safety position?

Don't be trying to inject logic here.

No thanks.

We're fans talking about players most of us will never meet. None of them give a crap what we say.

Smith is talking about teammates that he sees and works with on a daily basis.

If you want to say something to the coach about other players, say it to him in private. Don't say it through reporters. I don't care what your politics are. I don't even care how good a player you are but it legitimately does help your standing if you're a leader on the field. Smith isn't showing up much there.
