Quote:I don't think half the people in this thread watched Mack play much this year. He wasn't much if any better than Wiz (Wiz actually had a really good pass block grade).
If you want to get Mack to opt out of his deal with the Browns you have to get him yet another raise on top of his all time high C salary. Is that what you want to for a C that was just average this year, is over 30, and had a major injury just last year?
That's a whole lot to risk just to hope a guy can return back to his 28 yr old form two years off ACL surgery.
Exactly. I don't think the average fan here is realizing that it'll take something like $10 mil per to sign Mack.
I'm thinking we just re-sign Wiz cheap, although if you must replace him then get a surefire upgrade in Lyle Sendlein and let him play out his final few years with us. In the meantime we can let guys slowly develop behind him so that when Lyle does retire we can replace him with ease.
Or just let Cann play Center get Linder back and go get a good LG

Too much
I'd like to see Cann moved to center

Quote:why does anyone want Bruce Irvin?
dude is a bust
Quote:Yeah. 22 sacks, 3 picks, 2 TDs, and 4 forced fumbles in 4 years is a "bust".
Quote:Hawks fans don't even care if they lose him. The Otto just needs to be able to occasionally blitz and roll to the flats. In a nickel base defense is he really worth it for us?
Considering he should come with a reasonable price tag, yeah he's totally worth it. Solidifying the OTTO position would allow the entire defense to jell. Also his occasional blitzing is huge because he's getting pressure in key situations on the strong side.
a lot of us seem to want a new OTTO which is understandable.my only question is what happens to Skuta then?

Solid depth probably. Someone will get hurt at some point

ST ace and rotates in at OTTO and LEO.
Eric Weddle and Mario Williams
Greg Hardy if he's past his off the field BS. He's a Beast when chasing the QB even if he isn't a choir boy
Would love berry but he is not hitting the market
If somehow Mario Williams, Von Miller and Tashaun Gipson ended up on this team, I would be ecstatic. Pretty sure Miller doesn't get out of Denver. I am not as enamored with Olivier Vernon as some others. If Miller is a no go, I would be satisfied with JPP or Bruce Irvin as a substitute acquisition.
Assuming we get Jalen Ramsey to play FS:
Easily my, regardless of our draft pick:
#1) Muhammed Wilkerson. Yes I know he broke his leg, but the guy is a monster and could play DT for us. We got the money to blow so I'd take a flyer on him. Sacks, forced fumbles, good against the run, he's an all around D-Lineman.
2) Trumaine Johnson - Tall and plays it all. Actually has a better body of work than Josh Norman
3)Jason Pierre Paul - Rush the passer. Yes Dante is our LEO, but I don't care. Get this guy on the field and swing Fowler to OTTO on some plays. Or get them both on the DLine. I don't care. Just apply some serious pressure on 3rd and mid-longs for once without sending the house and looking like fools.
Some of you have completely went off the deep end.
Linder at center?
Cann at center?
Eric Berry?
Josh F Norman? Really...
Miller to start over Yeldon?
Just go get a good LG? Like it's simple.
Guys like Berry, Norman, Von Miller, etc won't sniff FA.

What gets me is that not only will the elite guys not make it, but that somehow we are expected to land the top 3 or 4 guys that do make it as if no other team in the league is allowed to sign FA also. Rinse/repeat annually.

This seems to happen every year. People on here set their expectations waaaaay to high.
Don't expect to get Von Miller, but rather the Olivier Vernons of the world.
My list was not a list of who i expected to get ,just guys who i would like to get that is somewhat realistic
I saw the Jags are getting Von Miller/Malik Jackson/Danny Trevathon/Derek Wolfe/Brandon Marhsall but do i actually believe it? Lol nooooo we are not getting a single one of them especially Von Miller

Didn't DC state that Cann could play the center position? I thought he did, please correct me if I misunderstood
Trumane Johnson, Russell Okung, Bruce Irvin
