He was on the Ravens for like 4 years before he ever did anything

I love Sanders. With Bates, McGovern and Sanders, we’d be bringing the PSU band back together. Bring in Nick Scott, KJ Hamler, Amani Oruwariye, Trace McSorely then draft Zach Koontz and you really get the band together.

The baggage is that he is a massive douche

Imo He doesn’t deserve a big pay day. He deserves that 6-8 million per year that all of these safeties are getting. He thinks he deserves more. At the end of the day his is an older guy who has dealt with recent injuries and did absolutely nothing until he came into this scheme. He is a very specific scheme fit, comes with baggage, and worried about taxes. He is a huge risk for teams in FA. Also, its a good safety group in FA and more than half the league drafted safeties last year from a loaded safety class.

Maybe he wasn’t excited about Nick Gates and Andrew Wylie I thought Harris would be a target of ours. Interested to see what he gets. I do think the whole Poyer thing is going to depend on what happens with Gardner-Johnson.

What about like Ben DiNicci? Cole McDonald? AJ McCarron? All guys doing a good job in the XFL? Maybe league minimum guys. I liked McDonald coming out

We can agree to disagree. I think they maybe add somebody. I don’t see a massive upgrade outside the top 3-4 linemen like Johnson and Skoronski, who will be out of reach. I just believe in player development and I think there is something there with those guys.

100%. The agent protects him from all that.

The whole system is set up to crush guys who don’t have agents. The guys crushing him on TV have agents and he is really dumb for representing himself.

I like Bates and I don’t think the difference between him and a Seumalo is really worth the 8 million in salary, assuming Seumalo get s like 12 million. Should they add competition? Yes. Would ai be happy if they add Seumalo and Bates becomes a high level back up? Yes. But they have committed to Bates and Brown and I think they are both starters come September.

If this narrative continues without any higher level additions, they are drafting a middle linebacker. It’s exactly what we heard about Dane Jackson last offseason.

Is Mark Chumra still in jail?

I liked him as a sleeper here. He has made some clutch plays for Dallas. I like what the Texans are doing. As long as they don’t go all stupid and trade Tunsil, it is starting to shape up as a good place for a young QB and I really like the Ryans hire.

Do non tenders count towards comp pick formula? Not that it matters, I’m just curious.

I think its close and they are younger.

This Wilson contract and the Epps contract is fair market value for Jordan Poyer.

So we are clear, Ed Oliver is the new whipping boy? Are we in agreement?

I like Rapp, he doesn’t cover all that well. Rams fans don’t love him. He’s a box safety. I don’t dislike him, he just doesn’t seem to fit what the Bills typically want with a guy who can cover deep in 2 and 3 high looks. Still young with potentially, but a questionable fit imo.

It’s going to blow up so bad because Aaron is such an ego maniac and Hackett is a yes man. Saleh looking like a good coach and is going to allow his program to implode from within.

A good sign that maybe the receivers are gonna be a little cheaper than thought.

I like him a lot honestly. Him or Drue Tranquill if they can’t get Wagner or David. Otherwise Campbell it Simpson in the draft. That’s kind of where I am

I am assuming they are waiting for David…if they don’t add anyone substantial, they are drafting Campbell or Simpson. Still have Wagner, David, Drue Tranquill, Cole Holcomb, Leighton Vander Esch, Al-Shaiir, and other guys like Devin Bush, Anthony Walker Jr, Denzel Perryman. So there are options.

Great point. There really is no plan B

I mean, I’m kind of speculating. I was a backup college linemen, and I had to practice power steps and pass sets on both sides of the line and the starters didn’t. McGovern started at RG at PSU as a true freshmen. Moved to center for his sophomore year and back to RG as a junior. Out of the 30 something starts he had in college, about 2/3 came at RG. For Bates he started at left tackle and had a few games at left guard as a redshirt freshmen, started all the rest of his games there at LT. He started 3 games at RT as a junior. So all except 3 of his his 30 something starts came on the left side. Typically, I think guys should be able to switch sides pretty easily, but these guys spent every day for 3-4 years practicing the technique on one side. In my experience, College coaches usually don’t waste time having starters work other side steps. I don’t think it is that big of a deal since McGovern had a ton of work at LG this year, but I would probably slide Bates to the left and play McGovern on the right. His prowess and anchor on the twist game stuff will help Brown. And Bates said how comfortable he was on the left last year. Put these guys where they are most comfortable.

What would be great is if the Jets get the whole band together, all the mediocre pieces Rodgers likes, and then he decides to stay in GB.
