Stanton has been learning FB for 2 years and he is as a solid blocker as Jankovich and is MUCH more usable in the offense (even playing RB the weeks we only had DJ healthy). Thanks for the Good Years paving the way for Chubb and Hunt.....Good luck in your next endeavor. I think he resurfaces in Jacksonville...... It does save us a few Million dollars 2.5-3.5 I think... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawgX Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 I would have liked Mike Williams, but that's a pretty steep price for a receiver who has trouble staying healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we needed an EDGE aside from Clowney, but now we need an EDGE replacement AND a 3rd rusher with Takk gone to boot. Our WR were dead last in the NFL in pass receptions last year, and that's not all on scheme. That whole room needs revamped, and we could still use a true MIKE LB and a true FS. Hopefully FA fills some of these voids, but it's tough losing good players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of these holes should be filled by players they’ve drafted and developed. I know they’re just stopgap players, but they chisel away at the cap and tbh by and large suck. Spend a bit and get legit starters or just play some rookies and keep the cap space. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you forgot to mention DT???? I think I would use the first 3 picks on front 7 and WR, and also double down in FA, at all of those positions!!! Something like RD 1 Garrett Wilson RD 2 Devonte Wyatt RD 3 Cameron Thomas FA De De Westbrook FA DJ Jones FA Derek Barnett Edited March 10, 2022 by big poppa pump 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We REALLY need one of those young DT's to step up and be an average to above average NFL starter. We also need DPJ OR Schwartz to develop into a viable #2-#3. 37 minutes ago, LETSGOBROWNIES said: I know they’re just stopgap players, but they chisel away at the cap and tbh by and large suck.

I like big FA splashes or lower middle/value tier guys. I hate paying the slow and unathletic/borderline useless plodding 2 down MLB's decent money, and the same for those JAG big DL (I'm looking at you Billings in the past).

Lol good luck. I think DPJ may be a 3/4, Schwartz needs to improve to show he’s worthy of a roster spot. He’s young and was a rookie, has time, etc., but he stunk. 1 minute ago, MWil23 said: I just had a conversation with a coworker. I get tired of them "splitting the difference" on dudes.

I more or less agree with this. I’m not a huge fan of FA in general, you’re paying top of the market prices for guys other teams aren’t convinced are worth investing huge money in. Not to say you can’t get good players in FA, but you’re gonna pay for them in most cases. If you see a guy you think is a high level player in your system and the cost is reasonable, go for it. If there’s a vet to fill a. Hole for cheap as hell, ok, but there shouldn’t be too many of those. Other than that, build through the draft.

I think that we "aren't there yet" because we are still 3 years out from this roster being borderline unsalvageable. At least we have draft picks and trade acquisitions throughout the OL (minus Conklin as a FA), all RB spots, 1 TE, and MOST of the defense (minus JJ3 and Hill as your slot corner). The LB spots are unbelievably frustrating for me outside of JOK, and I've felt this way for 20 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I'd be all for giving Clowney a lot of money on a short-term deal, but I can't blame the FO if they're hesitant about signing him to a long-term contract if that is indeed what Clowney is looking for. Dude just has trouble staying healthy. But yeah, if he's gone, gotta imagine we go DE in round one. If we're able to sign a good receiver, waiting until the second round for a WR won't be so bad.

zelbell Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Losing Clowney is gonna suck, but if it forces us to draft someone like Karlaftis or Walker I’d feel a little better we need to go for a longer term solution at DE than just continuing to spend big money in UFA drafting someone locks someone in at a reasonable rate for 4-5 years which is huge when you have some bigger contracts like we have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Keeping hopper and letting clowney walk. Brilliant move Berry. Now we get to use a pick on a position we could have just resigned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
