Dcash4 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Bummed about Vance. Not because I really wanted to keep him, but because that probably means Ebron is back for sure and as our clear cut #1 TE..... *shudders* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im guessing they try to sign a vet that can block and not be a complete zero in the passing game...maybe a reunion with Jesse James if/when he gets cut?

I don’t disagree about the loss of JuJu probably needing the receiving replacement, but if that’s the case I’d rather cut Ebron and use the $6m savings to sign JuJu. He’s the better player and even with Ebron you still need a tight end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I think Pouncey is next. Ben might start being the Will Smith in Fresh Prince meme soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Anybody follow Kelvin Beachum last year? Thought I saw he started 16 games for the Cards on a one year. My hope is still Chuks to LT, but Beachum makes for an interesting depth signing to come back into Pittsburgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather throw another Rd 3 pick at WR truthfully. Id take the $5.5 mill in saving and give it to one of Hilton/Sutton(maybe both somehow?) Things are going to get interesting in the next month or so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. While I like Juju, he is going to get more than he has proven to be worth. Dont get me wrong, he might blow up somewhere else, but probably not here.

I’d prefer to sign a vet to a minimum deal. We gotta stop throwing mid rounders at two positions (RB and WR) at some point. We are hurting for depth in other places and wasting top 60 picks (washington) on the roster. Im not so worried about JuJu at $16M, but I’m not desperate to sign him either. But I’d rather skip the draft at the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Colbert, Please trade back and get some more 2nd or 3rd round picks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree on the RB mid round picks(that’s why I agree on the high RB pick or not at all). They have success at WR draft wise..now of course it would depend on the cheap vet WR. Washington is a decent #wr3...but in today’s current NFL you have to be at least 3 deep at the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
