I'm curious. Who are some o-lineman you guys are looking at that might get cut and could help this team?

I think this is a fairly rational question and based on the excitement on this board, probably deserves its own thread.

The answer of this question lies with Gettleman. I think there are going to be a handful of guys that are released because their contracts are bigger than their play and their play is comparable to someone else on the team.

We have to look at those guys and ask if they are upgrades over what we have. I think that is what you look.

Front page updated with cuts. It looks like some offensive linemen from the Lions were released. I know people on here were saying check them out, because they seem to have really good O-line depth.

 

The only name that stood out to me is Chris Hope. Chris is from Rock Hill, operates a charity there, and was once a very, very good safety. I believe that we could sign him and he would immediately be better than Mitchell/Campbell/Lester, whoever else.

Updated again. Shiancoe AND Streeter released from the Ravens. I think Shiancoe honestly could be a really nice fit into our offense. A nice pass-catching TE, even though he's not a great blocker. Practice squad Brandon Williams, and get Shiancoe in here to fill that #3 TE/#2 pass catching TE role.

it's been said before man. but the Patriots will snag Brandon williams up so fast when he hits the wire. They were the other team looking to sign him.

 

We can't risk it.

It's possible, but, it depends on if you want to win now or not. Brandon Williams is not going to allow you to win right now. The guy can't block, he has only caught 1 pass, making him a liability at this point. If the Patriots want to stash him away, that's fine, but they have other players who can contribute immediately, we do not.

We actually have better wr's/te's then they do in my opinion. They'd probably have Williams on the field the first few weeks and I bet he would be successful.

      Trade options

      That's what I meant when I said would rather have that kind of player on a rookie deal. Vs a guy coming off of it is what I didn't say. Again, if the team wasn't in such need of meaningful talent then overpaying a little for an older blocking TE the coach could trust wouldn't be unusual. Giving up more than 1 pick is just dumb given the situation for us tho and there is still repairing what that last cap guy did before they can hit normal opperating IMO. Spending money like the peak Saints with so little talent was not a good combo.

      We need 2 tes if we don't resign tremble.  And Mayer is a several year vet so it's not like we'd have 3 rookies in the te room.  Just spitballin here

      I’ve been holding out on this because I knew I would just be called a homer. I’m sure some will still say I am and that we shouldn’t care about the underwear Olympics without seeing the tape. That being said…. this guy is an absolute freak. 6’3 220, 43” vertical, and 4.38 unofficial 40. And I can tell you I am not surprised in the slightest by following him since he was an under recruited high schooler putting up 232 tackles, 4 sacks, and 8 forced fumbles his senior year of high school (ONE YEAR!). He developed into the leader on the defense and was always the one making clutch plays.  He is going to be the Luke Kuechly for a defense at safety for a decade. I expect some team will draft him top 15, maybe even top 10. I go back and forth on whether you use a top 10 pick on a safety but at the end of the day, I think you pick a superstar no matter what position. I would prefer us get a top pass rusher or maybe even WR but I would be thrilled to land Nick E if we don’t get one of those guys. Would much rather have him over a guy like Jaylon Walker who is super intriguing but doesn’t have the production to back it up.
