Able to separate. An upgrade over Hollins (who I like).
Is he though ? What hollins lacked in ability he made up for in balls
He was on a 1 year deal. Will probably sign him to another one around $3m I'd hope. Would be real helpful to be able to deal Samuel somewhere right about now.
Rapp and Bishop are the starters at safety. Damar is a FA who won't be back unless he has no market at all and wants to stay for backup money. I'd really like to upgrade on Rapp but he has another year left at lower level starter money and that's what he is.
Unless they draft someone who makes the 53. The signing keeps their draft focused on DT, CB and Edge.
The way this is written I thought we re-signed him to a New deal
Sigh… biggest weaknesses on the team are secondary and DE. Bills are running it back in both places and/or depending on rookies? Did Beane not watch the Chiefs game when they an abuser Elam and the safeties were nowhere in the picture? Do they not remember that their one good DB had concussions two weeks in a row?
So what would your big grand plan be? Crosby and Garrett were never available. There isn't a single edge rusher difference maker available in FA. Can MAYBE give up a 2nd plus something just for the right to pay Hendrickson $30m/year as he turns 31 mid-season next year. Not even saying that's a bad idea but it's not great. CB market is fairly weak with maybe 3 or 4 that would represent a one year upgrade over Douglas for next year. Safety is similar. Bishop was a 2nd round pick and started to get better as the season progressed as a rookie should. Rapp is just a lower level starter that could be upgraded by a few of the available free agents but then you have to pay them $15m a season which they aren't really worth AND still have Rapp's cap hit on the roster too.
Stunned and also really don't like the looks of his pro football reference page. But it's a lotto ticket worth playing. Put him in bubble wrap until Halloween or even Thanksgiving and hope for 2 or 3 full blast healthy months.
It’s a move. Bring back Von for the vet min and they can try to get 20 games between the two.
That would be incredible but extremely unlikely. I think it's big Greg, Bosa the new guy and AJ on the edge. Hoping to bring back Douglas on a 1 year deal for $6m and then use a day 1 or 2 pick on a CB and a DT to get those guys ready to go and then BPA with the other since we could use someone basically everywhere except QB and TE. Would love an IOL somewhere by rd 4 too since that's a sneaky big need with McG and Edwards FAs after next year and won't want to be paying both of them with the way even average starter interior guys have started to get paid.
1 year deal, high risk/ High reward. If he's playing in 12 out of 17 games and healthy in the playoffs then probably worth it. Huge risk on the injury side of things. Don't hate it though
