I am not really sure why we haven't signed guys like Quintin Mikell and Travelle Wharton. (or Brandon Moore when he was available) The motto this season seems to be "Just Win" and I think everyone would agree these guys would help us do so. I do like the idea of letting young guys develop, but you usually don't go that route when the main concern is winning games. We have cap space so offer the guys a decent 1 year deal so we keep the books clear for next season. I can understand older players not wanting to play for vet minimum. A better O lineman could be cut that we could pick up but i don't think that any safeties will be cut that are better than Mikell.

when guys get cut from other teams, we'll see some vets brought in.

 

My only problem with that is why would a team let anyone worth a darn go? So is it really going to be that much of a upgrade grabbing a player another team let go?

 

Its kinda like adopting a dog or buy one from a friend, and your like "why would someone give away such nice looking dog" Then you take it home and it craps every, eats up the furniture and never listens. No one gives away a good or well behaved dog. Just like no team would give away a player who can actually help them. Just my opinion.....

but it happens frequently.

 

guys a little long in the tooth and/or who have unpleasant cap numbers or who just simply are the victims of being in a crowded, but talented position group on their team, will see the axe when cuts come.

Hold on, I'll text Gettleman this idea. It's so revolutionary I am sure he hasn't thought of it .

 

I'm sure he has thought of it. I am asking why he isn't doing it. If I had the ability to trade my Nissan for a BMW I wouldn't think about it.

I'm not disagreeing by no means, I hope it does happen b/c we need something....

Jammal Brown, Sean Locklear, or Jared Gaither. Any of the three would be better than Bell. Gaither would be the choice if he could be motivated.

 

 

So why isn't anybody else signing them?

 

Put Mcneil on the injuried on their couch Olinemen you want to throw money at list.

      Chris Long: Bryce Young Went Toe To Toe With Patrick Mahomes

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I don't think should be seen as an insult, legitimately. Teddy's floor was consistently a good game manager to his ceiling of border-line top 10 QB who's arm strength didn't blow you away but could make all the throws and generally made good decisions and had some sneaky athleticism.  Teddy started on quite a few teams. He had a good start to his career, had a horrific injury that could have ended his career, came back and played himself into being a starter, got a contract here (and subsequently became another victim of Tepper's impetuousness), and then started games for a few other teams. Teddy could have been a franchise QB had he not suffered a freak injury, and then he just never ended up in another stable situation. He still had a good NFL career that could have been great without that injury. Teddy before that injury did look like a franchise QB, and I dont think that's a bad comp for Young nor an insult in terms of what his career could be based on that comparison.

      Absolutely the wrong take. We have to run and gun. We have zero post presence. We just have to make shots. We just can't hit water from a boat tonight and we're turning it over to boot. Then you have a poor shooting opponent shooting lights out.  Looks like a long season ahead of us though if Hubert doesn't adapt to this roster. We have to play a pressure trapping D and get out in transition because we aren't beating anyone in the half court.
