JerseyNiner Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Ryan Grant to the ravens making that Goodwin extension looking even better again Ian Rapoport @RapSheet The #Ravens are expected to sign #Redskins FA WR Ryan Grant, source said. It’s a 4-year deal worth $29M with $14.5M guaranteed, source said. He gets a $10M signing bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John232 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'm not trying to single out Justone, but holding a guy who can only do ST effectively is actually not a good thing. It's generally a bad thing. If a guy wants to be active on game day and he's not starting or main rotation kind of player, you've still got to offer something at your position and ST. Brock Coyle is a great example of a guy who was a 3rd string LBer, but clearly had some chops on defense, especially after getting his feet wet this past season. Add in the ST play and he's a roster lock. Mosert was bad in the limited snaps he got, thus he's easily replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyNiner Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Of course you want guys who are effective at multiple spots come gameday to maximize flexibility incase of injury and for situational aspects of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry is still on his rookie deal (cheap) for another 2 years. Guess it makes more sense now. 2 strong RBs for them... booooo!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenK Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 That answers my question if we are interested in McKinnon. Let’s see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL that is funny wording. The player makes the contract, not the other way around. That is a good signing for them. Henry certainly has the hype but hes basically a taller, faster version of Blount. Great power, downhill runner. The difference is he has better breakaway speed, but he is useless in catching passes or in pass protection. Youd think a RB that size would be a great pass blocker.. Lewis would have been great at running the outside zone for us and with screen passes. He was really the only FA RB that interested me.

JerseyNiner Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Anyone else interested in what players were texting Andrew Hawkins and Chris Simms saying they were trying to get to the 49ers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldman9er Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I know some talking head on NFLN had SF as the best destination for McKinnon. #shrugs ... and the contract offers to both Grant and Albert Wilson were LMAO craycray!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I really don't have interest in any of the other running backs available. I could see trying to rebuild Jeremy Hill, and McKinnon would fit, but I think too much overlap with breida. At this point, maybe sign Hill, roll with Williams, mcnichols and breida and hope someone balls out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good reason why we extended Goodwin prior to FA starting. I saw Barrows mentioned we are interested in McKinnon too, you don’t think he would succeed? He played well for Minn and I assume would be cheaper than Lewis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
