I voted AD Mitchell but im 50/50 on him or Newton. Big *if* Newtons foot is healthy I think he's going to look like the best DT in the draft. But I think AD Mitchell is in a good situation, with plenty of opportunity for a ton of targets and will look like a stud from the get go.
I would be all over Herbert+6th for a 4th if Bengals would even be willing to do that in the first place. Frankly speaking Herbert is no longer stylistically the type of back this team wants - the Bears are building a pass first O built around an incredibly talented young QB and they need...
Front office support staff usually have offsetting language in their contracts that if they get another (assumed) higher job in another org their contract with the original team voids. Extending Ian - I believe they recently said they did - doesnt effect his ability to get poached and give Bears...
Loved his Dad when he was a high school football coach. Ex-pro DB, he would suit up one day during 2 adays every season and fuck us up in skeleton drills.
Ogbah would be good too, any remaining strong vet.
Im not "making it out to be an insane drop off or decline", im putting context to the raw numbers Infante threw out into the breeze. His post Sweat numbers were still on an annualized pace for his lowest production season of his career -...
For comparison, his post Sweat production annualized was on pace for ... the worst season of his career in sacks,QB hits and pressures. Ngakoue coming off of an ankle injury is not the answer this team is looking for.
There arent any long term solutions available in FA, but signing Calais Campbell and Carl Lawson to 1 year contracts is a decent bridge to next year when you need to use a 1st round pick at DE and probably find decent depth at DT. Could probably get both for around $16M combined - Calais only...
Thats how you do it, if they were even willing for a minute to let Gil fight to keep his job you dont spend the 4th on a punter - you bring in a bunch of UDFA scrub punts to battle royal in camp. There's the door Gil, see yourself out, we have deactivated your badge. Aons probably willing to...
They obviously still need a DE2 and probably a DT3 with DT/NT flexibility. At this point they probably are looking for bridge pieces from camp cuts and remaining FA for this year, but high picks for next year or even trades if the opportunity arises.
The move makes a ton of sense if you are an 81 year old owner and your main goal is to not see a bottom 5 team in the next decade. If your goal is to put the most competitive team on the field in the short or long term the path they chose doesnt have consistency with itself. It seems a lot more...
Strategic dissonance, theres very few outcomes where both the QB decisions are correct - if Cousins balls out then you didnt need Penix - what you needed was a better offseason than Darnell Mooney and journeymen vets. If Cousins flops or isnt good enough to save the franchise and they move to...
