The only way Richburg makes any sense is@Center. For this scheme, thats where his impact will be felt the most. Kilgore couldnt consistently get to those backside defenders on traps and pulls. That's where Richburg excels. His agility@Center is what makes him the player he is. Doesnt have that same impact@OG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have no problem at all with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have no problem at all with that. Considering we signed Gilliam to more money than he deserves to hopefully be a back-up (although, it's next year's cap hit that is larger, I doubt he will see that money), maybe it shows the FO's willingness to pay for good back-ups. Kilgore is making 5.5m this year, but only 2.7 next year, and can be cut without dead money. He's not necessarily paid like someone who features in the long term plans of the team. So if we have a chance to significantly improve our long term future by signing another lineman or drafting one, then I'm sure we'll consider it. I'd start Kilgore at LG, personally, and if we draft a rookie OG, he will be able to be brought along slowly, if need be. My only hope is that having Staley, Richburg, Kilgore (for this year at least), Gilliam (for this year only), Garnett and Brown (for how long, though?) means that Zane Beadles can go looking for a job elsewhere sooner rather than later.

757-NINER Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 My thinking is Kilgore is in competiton for RG. I think Garnett will be given every opportunity to win the job@LG. I think we'll still draft a interior lineman fairly high but I think LG is Garnett's job to lose. If Richburg is indeed in the fold, he should be the starting center. But with his injury history, having Kilgore helps alleviate any concerns we have if Richburg misses time. I think its possible that Kilgore, at his best, could start@RG and be serviceable. And at his worst, he back-up all three interior line positions and provides quality depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John232 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'll also add, if they don't bring back Fusco because of Richburg, also stupid. (Unless it's a price tag thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM said that he thinks Richburg is a guard starting out with Kilgore at center. Would be very put off by that move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 So no one has the money details of the signing? Weird? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing...completely bizarre that there has been absolutely no mention of the money at this point. I'm going to say something like 5/45.

oldman9er Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 i went to WZ for a look, and found this unrelated bit on him: Quote PFFWeston Richburg, C, New York GiantsOn limited snaps in 2017, Richburg allowed just three total QB pressures on 173 snaps in pass protection. Through his career, Richburg has allowed only four sacks on a whipping 2,112 pass-blocking snaps https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-the-nfls-top-50-unrestricted-free-agents-heading-into-2018-free-agency dunno about contract details, though.. but was interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justone2 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Seeing the deals so far this offseason it probably is a low signing bonus with a big roster bonus on this one too to increase the cap hit this year and also make it easier to cut them when they don't perform well enough.

J-ALL-DAY Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 You don't sign that man for that much and not expect him to play C when Shanny rates centers above guards. Staley-Garnett-Richburg-?-Brown So who will start at RG? Kilgore? Tomlinson? Magnuson? Rookie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
