CriminalMind Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) At a $6M price tag for Everson ... I would have easily taken that for a quality rotational end who can play 50-70% snaps if needed. We are not stacked at DE by any means other than Hunter. I think they valued 2021 cap space too highly in this negotiation, where they will ultimately be putting an inferior product on the field this year. Yes, Everson is just one player, but at an important position of need, we took a talent hit here, with no replacement. If the brass thinks we are close-ish, they should have given the $6M to Everson, if they don't think we're close to contending, than not giving Everson the $6M is fine.

But hey, Jerry World has great "natural airflow" which can help reduce the spread of communicable diseases...that's certain to justify it's America's Team status. I bet if he just quit talking that'd help too. 😅 Edited August 13, 2020 by swede700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team has ready to go their full compliment of contenders for the two starting guard positions. Hopefully a couple guys can beat out Elflein. There isn't a lot of reason for optimism that the team has two guys that can provide better play than the miserable level of play they have gotten out of Elflein but one can always hope and having all the guys able to practice is a start.

He's been hurt a lot of the time so far and not sure he's any better than Sharpe or Bisi at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Agree with the above...absolutely no interest in him whatsoever. He may be fast, but he's injured constantly. I'd only take a flyer on him after he becomes a free agent after the year...Rick likes those kinds of players, especially if they come cheaply, which he likely will.

Does Elflein stick as the backup center, or do you think he will be cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't win the starting LG job, he'll get cut, as they can keep Brett Jones as the backup C for a lot less money. I still think, based on the weird offseason, that he has a clear edge on being the starter ultimately. Someone else will have to clearly beat him out.

If Elflein isn't given one of the starting guard jobs I think he'll stick as an interior offensive line backup. At least that is what I would do if I was the team. If Bradbury struggles this year again it would be nice having a guy on the team with center experience. From what I recall, Elflein didn't struggle as badly at center his rookie year as Bradbury did last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
