Joe Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Rasul Douglas has had health issues which is why a lot of teams kinda passed on him in FA. My local Iggles fans tell me he was great when he was healthy......when he was healthy so as long as he doesn't get hurt... I'd still say EDGE however, We're kinda holding it together with chicken wire right now despite getting better-than-average reps from some of these street dudes. We just need some of these recent signings and PS promos to take that next step. I'm confident that can occur BEFORE the trade deadline facilitating a clearer picture as to what we should be targeting and what we could get out of a potential trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No draft capital needed. Probably a cheap one year rental too. Absolutely this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivier Vernon is a guy to keep an eye on. He's still got some game, but he is coming off a late season achilles injury. He should be ready to play in November or December.

How has his injury affected his play? and 3. How cheap is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toddfather Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 We are going to do something... I legit feel we will be adding another player to this squad by trade deadline. Gute has gone this far, what's to stop him now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name has been mentioned as a late season pickup in several articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vernon's game relies on burst and quickness and that doesn't come back in a 9 month rehab from a ruptured achilles tendon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeresAGuy Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 What about a slick offer for Joe Haden, who is not very happy in Pittsburgh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to retract my comment about EDGE and go with this if Haden can still play. Edge has clearly been shored up with Mercilus provided he stays healthy. I'd still add Vernon as well for good measure as he may be an upgrade over Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 It appears Mercilus is in the fold so I'd be real happy with a big run stuffing DT we could get on the cheap. He can be a one trick pony too. Just need him to be a space eater inside so people can't run inside on us. Give me that and call it a day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some teams (see the 49ers for example) have spent a great many picks on their front 7 for more than half a decade, most of those picks are high first rounders. Their corners are fairly meh in comparison, but if you can generate good pressure with 4 or 5, your corners don't need to be quite as good, so i understand why they do what they do. My take is if you are drafting in the top 15, especially top 10 that is a no brainer. Drafting 20+ I think the value is definitely in the secondary. Do we have any cap to do anything with? That's why we didn't get Gilmore pretty much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Haden and 2nd rounder for Jordan Love, straight up. Profit. They need an heir apparent because unlike our QB, Big Ben is absolutely done after this season and they need their replacement in line, who is currently not on their roster. It could be very appealing for them. And shows Rodgers commitment and that he's obviously the guy. He extends another 4 years. Everybody wins. Profit.

I think the Steelers actually like the kid they picked up from Washington, Haskins. I'm not giving up on Love yet mostly because I don't know how you make the money work with Rodgers next year and stay competitive. a contender.
