NickButera Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 We better make some signings today to fill some holes on the team with competent starters. Otherwise I feel like we're just diminishing the team of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact I was gonna type it in one of my posts but the thing that would make this a bad move is if we actually don’t save any money because then why not keep him(One of the best centers in the NFL). but as far as the position and the compensation, I felt like our entire offensive line was overcompensated and under performed which is actually what played a very key role in why we weren’t as good in the red zone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packers usually make sound football decisions, they felt paying their playmaking RB was more important than a center who was just paid big by the Chargers. Raider fans are easy to be triggered, and talk trash. why you think so many people won't stop bashing DC.

Wait that happened yesterday right? That might've been last year LOL OMG guys we signed 1 guy and now all is right in the world! Jesus, you sound like the "all we have to do is nuke the roster to free up cap space and trade our next 4 classes for Watson and we'll be CoNtEnDeRs" crowd. We signed one guy, who, like him as I do, has 1 double digit sack season and has played exclusively on teams with considerably more talent around him than we offer. And we followed that up by arbitrarily canning arguably our best player while keeping Mariota and Nassib on the roster seemingly for the lulz. You don't get better by bringing in one talented player and cutting another more talented player needlessly. But, hey, defend away Mike. Godspeed. (And I thought the Reggie fanboys were delusional). 🤦🏼♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 For a team that wants to have a smash mouth, run first play style and with a QB like Carr who probably needs a good OL as much as any QB in the league, having to replace 4 starters in one off-season is pretty questionable.

But we'll be eating that much in dead cap for him to play elsewhere while we start Andre James who has never even played a snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 a lot of talent gone: Booker, Nellie, Hudson, Jackson, Brown, Richie, Takk, Collins, Joyner let's see what Gruden is up 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Reshuffling the OL to spend it all on defense (I hope) will either be brilliant or tank this team. I figure Mayock knows it's now or never. **** it i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Last couple years has not worked. You either die doing the same thing or shake things up and give yourself a chance. I like the giving yourself a chance option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see us going after someone like Tevin Jenkins in round 1 and a guy like Josh Meyers in round 2/3 unless we believe in James can be a starting C. If we don't get bring back our guards we could target someone like Trey Smith in round 2/3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when we just lost both of our starting guards and RT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
