Gerrad Warren DT Cut

[PantherBrew]

Again from Pats, but he will not go home waivers.

Sorry, I know this is unlikely but he is 6'5" 330 and is exactly what we could use.

If we could make it worth his while financially then it could sway him, however most think he will be back with Pats.

Pats cut DT Gerard Warren to make room for TE Dan Gronkowski. Warren could be back after week 1.

[CatMan72]

Yes please... if for no other reason then we need another body at DT before the game on Sunday.

[CatMan72]

These Patriot cuts are like manna from heaven, LOL

Good lord Cleveland couldn't draft for poo when they came back.

I mean just look at the rest of those players.

[pantherfan81]

Yeah I think he re-signs with them.

[CatMan72]

Maybe this is our new FA strategy, just sign whomever the Pats cut?

[PantherBrew]

If, and it is a massive if, we could sign him, he probably has the experience in the league to start week 1.

and unlike other fattys for sign, he is in relative shape.

[Mr. Scot]

I'd forgotten he was still in the league, honestly.

I remember when he was drafted by the Browns. Kinda long in the tooth, but you could take the track that a little age and wisdom could be useful given how young the other guys are.

Yeah, and there isn't much of a playbook or gameplan for the NT to understand in any case.

He actually had 3.5 sacks last season, from the DT spot thats a pretty solid interior push.

And we really just need someone who can hold their ground and plug the hole.

Guys like Buckner prove that older DTs can still be servicable. He's not a long term solution (or even better than mediocre), but if the best we can hope for right now is a stop-gap, you could do a lot worse than Gerrard Warren.

[Mr. Scot]

His last year in Cleveland was Chudzinski's first. Fred Graves was on staff that year too (wrong side of the ball, obviously).

And Rivera would have some level of familiarity from his AFC West days. So would Matsko, who would have coached offensive linemen that faced him while with the Chiefs.

[PantherBrew]

Honestly, could be a difference maker in the outcome in week one.

The DT is going to be crucial for the entire defense, not to mention Beaosn.
