He's been a Khyri Thorton caliber of player thus far. LMAO! That's awesome... The biggest Packer troll on the net just gave Adams the kiss of greatness! Just like she did to the other Adams ("huge bust") and Bakhtiari ("the worst OT in the NFL"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically I could see Adams being anywhere from around 20-50 by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you consider that getting a comp pick for Spriggs means that Gute does not sign a Spriggs level player in the FA market next season.

Guess it boils down to performance with this coaching staff and front office, which is fine by me. The only time I thought Spriggs looked good in a game was when he played guard as a rookie and had a week to prepare for it. Every other time, be it guard or tackle, he was a liability out there. Maybe the light turns on for him. Obviously it won't be here. Too bad, that's a waste of a nice pick. Thinking Whitehair went right after him, if memory serves. This isn't identical to an outright release... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if he isn't claimed, no. At least that's my understanding. He'll go to IR and it'll work from there with him staying and getting paid or a settlement.

I know I’ve read the opinion on this board that Spriggs is good enough to start for other teams. I’d say this is a chance to prove that idea true or not but for the fact that we don’t know—and other teams may not know— the seriousness of Spriggs’ injury. As with Daniels, this move probably says more about how the team feels about some of the other linemen than it does about Spriggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Isn't Marshall Newhouse still starting in the league? Spriggs has to at least get a shot, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand by that comment. Are there multiple OL (aside from the starters) who are clearly better than Spriggs? No. Do we save a significant amount of money by releasing him? No. So what's the motivation to release him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWood21 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 5 hours ago, Golfman said: What? Comp pick? How much do you think a team is going to give him in free agency. Only 32 of those picks are given out and he's not going to get one of the top 32 free agent contracts. That's not how comp picks work. You have to lose more FAs than you sign.

Ereck Flowers signed a 1 year, $3.25M deal. Spriggs is better than Flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what we're seeing from Gute is the willingness to just cut bait on dead men walking. If you're on the last year of your deal, you better prove your worth or Gute is gonna try to trade you or move on entirely. I kinda like it.

Unless you think Spriggs is completely useless this year (I don't) and that Alex Light is a better backup OT (I don't), Spriggs wasn't a dead man walking. Even if we weren't going to re-sign him for 2020 and beyond he was still useful this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gute: I figured with three years left realistically on Duke’s longevity, and given the associated carrying costs, we should be able to maintain the positive benefits of pet ownership at a lower cap number going forward so we went in another direction. Gute’s Kid: Well that explains the hamster in my room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
