We just signed his replacement, one year into his rookie deal. Gotta remember that this regime did not draft Stromberg. Not to say it's impossible for him to climb up, but there is no attachment other than him being on the roster currently. I hope he gets a shot at guard. I think he can handle it. He played sparingly at guard last year and didn't look overmatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile we benched Gates and went to Larsen. Not sure Stromberg was a center very long here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stromberg was considered a good center prospect in his class and has 3 years left on his rookie deal. If you’re going to force him to the bench for his tenure here it better be for a major upgrade, which this guy is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stromberg is a center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty silly the team with more cap space than anyone couldn’t pull it off unless he just didn’t want to play here or were seriously just going after players Quinn is familiar with.

Might as well change the heading of this thread to off-season that Dan Quinn’s comfort level built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 I’m going to get beat up for this on here but this is not a very promising start. I hate that we’re doing what Rivera did. It is the same thing. Meanwhile the Eagles sign Huff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I don't know how you can suggest that Biadasz isn't a major upgrade over someone that has never taken a snap at center in the NFL. It's one thing to talk about potential, but Biadasz has missed 2 starts in 3 years. He has called the adjustments for Dallas the entire time. He is a major upgrade, IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t sign a subpar center for $10 mil per year because he doesn’t get hurt. Honestly we could have brought back Tyler Larsen on get min and get the same play as this guy (I’m going to keep saying this guy because his name is hard to spell and I’m too lazy to look it up).

I'm not in love with the Biadasz signing, especially at an annual 10M, per year, but we needed a starting center. We absolutely needed a (two) starting DEs.

I also think he is an upgrade. If you're upset about the potential sunk cost of Ricky Stromberg I get it, I am too, but I think most centers if talented play right away too. Maybe he just doesn't have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t play right away because the last regime did exactly what we just did, signed a subpar Center free agent and handed them the starting job.
