I don’t know much about Damian Lewis, but do know it’s easier to replace Guards than Left Tackles. I think we draft a Guard/center in the first 3 rounds 

And? Right now we are down two starting Gs and our C sucked balls for $9M. We draft a C/G, which we should have done last year instead of Little and we still have a crappy C and a hole at the other G. In 2021, we’ll likely have two holes again. It’s too bad in two solid interior OL drafts the past two years we drafted 0 Cs or Gs after losing Norwell and Kalil. In 3 years we’ve lost the entire starting interior OL we had in 2017 and we did zippo in the past two drafts. We’ve got 3 more tackles for the LT spot though. Maybe we can break our sacks given up record in 2020.

You mean this Damien Lewis??

 

That is the reason one will be a top 10 pick and the other a mid rounder. Derrick Brown would have done the same damn thing to “pro bowler” Trai Turner.

If Lewis can play similar to pre contract Turner he will be a steal in the 4th.

These guys are like twins. Both are right guards from LSU who's strengths are in run blocking. Very similar in size, build, and draft profile. He would be a steal in the 4th round.

 

 

Yes, and Lloyd Cushenberry, Joe Brady might like that. I also like Onwenu from Michigan.

Hennessy from Temple in the third round, play him at guard for a season before moving him to Center next season. If Paradis can hold up and hopefully show some ability. 

If Paradis is still broken down, can move Hennessy right to center, and develop a guard.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
