SmittyBacall Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 What does everyone expect we do at the vacant safety spot? Wait for the market to cool in the coming days and hope someone like Thornhill or Rapp take what we offered Bell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 That's likely the "plan". They could just go back to Bell and sweet talk him into taking a match or slight increase to stay here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 I think we sign someone, be it Thornhill, Rapp, Love, or someone else. I don't think we'll sign CGJ or bring back Bell somehow. With Dax in year 2 and Anderson essentially a rookie after being injured last year, I doubt we take another one in the draft already having that much inexperience.

Will probably try to get a cheap starter going into their second contract. Fall back is an older guy on a shorter deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 We're not likely to get anyone who will play as well for us as Bell did last year. This is a year when we should be loading up for a Super Bowl run but the team seems content to just hope for the best instead of being proactive.

INbengalfan Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 With carolina signing Hurst, gotta think we take one early (rounds 1 or 2) and another one later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 I can see us signing someone like Moreau AND double dipping at TE in the draft. One on day 2, and one in the later rounds to battle it out with Asiasi for TE3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll draft someone, but probably not early. There's still several TE's on the market they're targeting, i'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate "having" to draft any position, but it's looking that way. We'll see if we sign any starter types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 They'll likely re-sign Wilcox and Sample. Those guys are just hoping to make a roster somewhere. I could see them signing a starting TE in free agency. There are a lot of decent vets on the market. Once they start signing it becomes musical chairs. This is a good group of TEs in the draft so we might take one there too but if we sign a vet starter, it's less of an imperative. Losing Hurst hurts but someone like Gesicki or Hooper would be a like for like replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 I'll be shocked if Sample isn't back on a very cheap 1 or 2 year deal. If they want to spend a little more Foster Moreau is still out there and does everything Sample does but better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The point is that it's not hard to find bodies to take to camp like Wilcox, Asiasi, and Sample. But they don't give you very much. As TE3s, any would be fine. As TE2s, they would be below average. We should sign a vet starter and draft a TE2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
