Grant is 330lbs+. Deone Walker is 340lbs. Alfred Collins is 320lbs. Omar Norman-Lott is 315lbs. CJ West is 316lbs. Jordan Phillips is 320lbs. I did forget Jamaree Caldwell who is also 340lbs. ALL of these guys truly could fill the position and we just need two. Tyleik Williams, yeah, he could be one of the two as well.
Bosa is a high risk, high reward type of signing. He is coming off the most pressures he's ever had in a single season with 39, and he only played in 14 games. That's about 3 a game. Question is who are they lining up outside the LT? Both Groot and Bosa typically line up outside the RT.
Well, we are on the hook for at least $18M over 3 years. That averages out to $6M per. If we structured it any way otherwise, it will add more to the cap numbers early on or later down the road, depending on said structure. The initial reports are always from agents trying to make it look like they got their client some eye-popping sum of $$$.
Honestly, I didn't really see anything wrong with what he said. He did sound disappointed that maybe they weren't trying to scheme anything for him specifically after the injury. But he also acknowledges that he was out for 6 weeks of real time. The offense had really shifted in that time. Maybe they didn't feel he put his all in conditioning wise during that time out, or maybe he didn't push through the rehab like they had hoped. Not sure what went on behind the scenes that caused McDermott and Beane to say what they did publicly. All we can do is hope he trains his tail off during the offseason, and comes back better from it.
People are knocking this post, but Blackmon would be a solid option. He is a good coverage Safety to have roaming on the back end out there. His price tag also likely is going to be in the $7M range. I like his potential back there.
All mixed up, you don't know what to do, next thing you turn around and find that person is you.
Seriously though, this said 267lbs.

That is BIG $$$ for Sweat.
A guy I think would fit in well here as a depth piece, and not have a huge $$$ tag, is Darrell Taylor. He had 9.5 sacks for Seattle one year and is only about to be 28. He would essentially replace Smoot.
WR - Slayton, bring Hollins back
DE - Sweat. If not, Darrell Taylor
DT - Teair Tart, or BJ Hill
CB - Paulson Adebo, Carlton Davis, or Byron Murphy
S - Tre'Von Moehrig (I like him as a reclamation project for McD), Holland
