Stinger226 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I would say they sign a few more UDFAs and then look for a vet S. I prefer Eric Reid but there are several good ones out there. Also Clayton Geathers has ties to Pagano when he was in Indy. Every year it's hard to cover all your weaknesses you have. They did bring back bring Bush and brought in the KC guy but still needs to bring one more vet in. Also they brought in 2 OLs but that's probably not enough. So 1 more OL and S and I think we're ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the McCaskeys will want to avoid the PR issues with him. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Tony Jefferson is still out there for an SS and what about Devonta Freeman for RB2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 From my count, we have added 25 new players to the roster counting the new free agents, draft picks, and UDFAs. Here is how the positional groups are broken down: OL - 6 (Ifedi, Spriggs, Hambright, Simmons, Eiselen, Traore) TE - 4 (Graham, Kmet, Wagner, Harris) CB - 4 (Johnson, Vildor, Burns, Roberson) LB - 3 (Mingo, Mack, Smith) Edge - 2 (Quinn, Gipson) DL - 2 (London, McSwain) QB - 1 (Foles) WR - 1 (Mooney) RB - 1 (Pierce) K - 1 (Ahmed) S - 1 (Lucas) The team really put an emphasis on the OLine, can you tell? TE and CB equally addressed. Really surprising that we haven't even added a one safety to the roster with the loss of HHCD. I am hoping for Jefferson to fill that void. A vet RB to be RB2 and let Pierce and Nall battle for that last spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 I read Pagano really likes Bush. With EJAC and HAHA in front of him, not much playing time. We always dismiss people getting better already on the roster. The only way you know is to let them play. On saying that we still need to add a S. Kwit was a okay backup until last year. Not he is a NFL starter. ( probably) . We look at a 4th round coming in and contributing but dismiss a 4th round pick that maybe took longer to develop.

Stinger226 Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 DJ Fluker just got released. Another Seattle guy. I would still like to sign Person. After Monday 4 PM. All signings dont count against compensation picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Whats next? Hopefully not months and months before we get any thing that even comes close to live real sports. Going to be a sad time for sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting as Pace sees several decent FA Safety options still available and decides to wait for that 4pm bell to ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Actually anyone cut from a team doesn't count either just UFAs. If I was in the NFL right now having a job would be better than just holding out for money. lots of players take cheap one year deals just to make sure they have a job.3 to 4 mil sounds good to me.

scs787 Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 What's next?? Pace is obviously going for it in 2020 as he should. There's one guy out there that screams win now, and that's Jason Peters. He's old, but he still played at a really high level last year and I believe he was also apart of one of Castillo's lines in the past....Peters is definitely someone I would add and hope to get one or 2 more years out of. Clayton Geathers is another veteran name out there who could come in and start right away. I'm not as dialed in as I once was, but I feel like they could extend ARob and lower his cap hit for this year thus allowing the cap room for Peters and Clayton. Possibly also having some money leftover should a better OG option get released as well. I feel like Fluker and Ifedi are about at the same level.

Stinger226 Posted April 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Right now they have around 12 mil in cap space and half of that going to the draft. So we have enough to sign 2 more 2nd tier players. I say a S and RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another guy is Tavon Wilson, Safety for the Lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No spoilers here, but it's been a wild ride, especially the last half of the 2018 season. A lot of storylines to keep you occupied thru this quarantine for sure.

Stinger226 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2020 Just noticed we sighed DL John Jerkins. I think we had him around before. Probably better than A. Anderson. Or at least more competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
