J-ALL-DAY Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Um, I feel like this isn't ideal lol. Though we have invested some solid draft capital on WRs the last few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not good and probably not going to change for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this is largely because the only WR we have on a veteran salary is Goodwin (assuming that Matthews doesn't make the team). It helps that the WRs are on 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and/or undrafted rookie contracts. Whereas we have three backs on veteran players. Not saying that the veteran RB contracts are good. They aren't (outside of Coleman). But I don't think we're spending more on backs than WRs because of value, more because of how young the WR corps is.

It looks like it may be time to put him on the IR and say goodbye next year. Front loaded contracts sure are easier to manage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 So all the talk after free agency/draft was how we didn't really address the free safety position and the secondary in general. But what was lost in those talks was how we didn't do anything with our OL depth, and in particular the IOL. This is a pretty damn big area of concern heading into the season.

Probably because our starters at safety were a huge question mark in general. At least with the interior line we had decent "starters" on paper. Of course, Richburg is hurt along with Mike Person getting nicked a little. Folks weren't thinking about that happening a few months ago. At least Jimmy with those several starts in 2017 was playing effectively behind a patchwork offensive line. Not that that should be the standard. Hopefully early in the draft next year the OL takes prominence. Don't see Tomlinson, and Person as long term starters. They're both coming off career years, but I feel that just might be outliers. Richburg always seems hurt too. Edited August 19, 2019 by PapaShogun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIllg Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 And yea, even though Tarvarius Moore may validate unreasonable front office thought processes, let him intersect the the path of the ball often, thereby terminating ballistic arcs many and varied and collecting flying oblong items covered in cowhide for his side. At this, I will be well pleased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
