Sugashane Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Solid depth, especially with Long's injury woes. I'd like to see him and Coward battle for the top swing guard spot. He can play C too iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Good depth, doesn't count against comp picks, has starts at OG and C and is making 1 year 1 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsooie5 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Upgrade from Witzmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I thought Witzmann played pretty good after a bad start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinz D. Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Larsen's pretty good, isn't he? Nice signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Not a huge fan of this move...Larsen was pretty poor first time around...hopefully he is beaten out in camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Experienced interior guy who can play OC or OG. Cheap one year deal for some versatile depth. We don't have much else on the roster except for Dejon Allen and maybe Coward, and no OC, so we need some bodies in there to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I thought he sucked his first time here, didn't he? Picked a lot of fights in camp IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 So we're all agreed that he was good and bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZBearsFan Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 This suggests to me that they expect Witzmann to find a real deal elsewhere (great for comp pick purposes). Witzmann was pretty solid last year especially considering he was a street FA when we added him. Larsen is just a guy but veteran experience in that role has value and I’m fine letting him compete for one spot with a draft pick and/or Coward.

And for a vet minimum only half of which hits the cap and probably won't even count against the top 51 that's all he is. Insurance against not finding anyone better. Hell the guy can play OC, has survived in the NFL for 9 seasons, and started 86 games so he's not chopped liver. Depth or a cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can agree when Jordan Howard isn’t involved! 🤘 Of course and mostly because what we do with Howard isn't a priority right now. Pace can deal with that when it cycles to the top of his to do list. Unless someone makes him an offer he can't turn down today or tomorrow or next week it's not a higher priority than needs other than RB. The biggest difference in our opinions is you see moving on from him at all cost as an imperative while I see it as just one option Pace has and he likes options. To me it's like a couple of guitars I own. If I got the right offer I'd sell them now. But if not I hold onto them until something else comes along to replace them. Patience and not being forced to sell quickly to raise cash will assure that I get my price. I'm a patient buyer and a patient seller. Why should Pace appear to be forced into a deal for Howard that isn't to his advantage when he can wait for a deal that is? In some instances you have to act quickly as he did with Mack yet with others you can let the deals come to you. We both understand that and right now it seems like Pace is being patient and letting deals come to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ_11 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I don't mind this, we needed depth at OG and he's better than Witzmann, still wouldn't be surprised if Witzmann came back too and they had them compete in camp for the backup OG spots.
