NYRaider Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 13 hours ago, Darbsk said: This is a good point, in the case we cut Parker we have Sharpe as a swing tackle, Brown can play LT and RT and Good has some experience playing RT too so we have some flexibility. Jackson can play left and right, Devey can play OG and OC and I think James is a converted OT who can backup OC and possibly OG. This gives us a lot of flexibility all along the line. The last couple spots on the OL will be very competitive and a decent player or two will not make it........... A good position to be in. Definitely. Parker hasn't really shown anything to prove that he's worth a roster spot. Trent Brown is amazing but in 2 of the last 3 seasons he has missed 5+ games (11 total). I like Sharpe as a swing tackle but I wish we would've invested that 3rd round pick we used on Muse in an OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Frank Gore signed with the Jets, I would have took him on a cheap one year deal. He still runs hard and probably could have shown Jacobs and Bowden a few secrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I said it after the draft and makes even more sense after Gruden compared Arnette to Talib. Just sign Talib to help out the CBs.would be a great fit in the defense and someone that can start if needed. Also Talib brings that attitude that the Raiders are looking for.

Too much bs and history with us. I wouldn't touch him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 34 and has missed 17 games over the last two seasons and even when he did play he looked like a shell of his former self. If we're going to kick the tires on a veteran CB I think Darqueze Dennard would be a much better fit. He's only 28, he can play inside/outside, and he knows the system. Plus I don't think we're going to need a veteran starter. Mullen will start on one side and Arnette will start on the other side.

NYRaider Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Other free agents I think we could/should take a look at: • Jason Peters: He's old but he's still a really solid player and would be a better option as a backup OT than Parker/Sharpe. • Everson Griffen: If Key doesn't take the next step he'd be a nice 4th edge to add to our rotation. • Damon Harrison: The staff clearly doesn't like PJ Hall and he'd be a nice backup behind Hankins and would give us a true NT. • Prince Amukamara: He was solid for the Bears and would be a better depth option than Lawson. • Carlos Hyde: He played really well for Houston last season and would give us a legit RB2/power back to help manage Jacob's load.

Most of those guys would want to start. I think our best option from this list would be Amukamara, but I think all these people want $. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 we already got a trash vet DB in Joyner, no need to double dip on that role. One guy I did want all offseason was Carlos Hyde, but with Bowden listed at RB I don't see us adding another. With Ingold that's 4 RBs. Unless we carry one less WR, and use Bowden there on occasion. , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to find ways to get more dynamic up front. There is no start power in our front 4. Hopefully someone will make that jump. That is my hope.

Harrison likely would start over Hankins if he's healthy and would help a ton against the run. Griffen's older now so a more limited role in a rotation would likely suit him well. Prince could start early in the season depending on the development of our young CBs. And Hyde probably wouldn't get the carries he's seeking but where else in the league would he? There's a reason that all of these guys are still free agents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those 4 things happen our DL rotation should be pretty damn solid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
