The Jokeman

I think Brown gonna get a big offer from somebody and it going to shock some. Another name I didn't see in first group was DT TJ (Tedarrell) Slaton.He was amongst the best 1 techs in 2023. We could get some intel from Rabavich if gives us what we need and of course doesn't kill the cap. https://packerswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2024/06/09/packers-dl-tj-slaton-among-top-graded-1-techniques-during-2023-season/74036529007/ DE Dayo Odeyingbo is the name that fits the mold of DE we like in gas length and can play outside or inside. His career high in sacks is 8 so don't think he'll get high end money but he can start and maybe we draft a guy to rush on 3rd downs.

Under 30 and coming off Super Bowl hype. Please note my comments about adding him were in jest.

That's kinda my point that some scream for us to sign Sweat or add X in free agency cuz they so much better than what we already have etc but likely cost a helluva lot more in terms of cap space.

Dayo Odeyingbo feels more of a guy we'd add as brings height and inside/outside flexibility. Toss in he might be cheaper than Sweat. Yet think have to wait for Von to be gone first.

Thanks. I guess Josh's Sweats 8 sacks last season mean he's a better pass rusher than Groot too.

Glad to have him back.

Garrett had 9 games without a sack last season.

Stripes or orange jumpsuit?

Mike White likely gets the job, I wonder if when we cut Mitch for cap space.

He's a good player but at 31 yeah idk seems a tad risky.

We need a NT aka a guy that can take on two offensive lineman at once and let guys like Oliver and Bernard to be clean to tackle ball carriers or rush the QB. Think Ted Washington, Pat Williams, Fred Smerlas, Booger McFarland, Tim Bowens, Tony Siragusa....

Thankfully he didn't start sooner or we would have never bottomed out to be in a position to get Bruce Smith and some of the other talent we acquired. In retrospect Kelly playing in the USFL helped us getter the talent he took advantage of when he got here. Toss in trading Greg Bell for Bennet forced us to take a chance on a RB named Thurman Thomas the draft the following year etc.

Levitre was a pretty solid guard when he was here, in fact he an all rookie but think that season Wood played Guard. Toss in Wood also played with Ritchie Incognito who was a pretty good player (note I said player not person). I'd put Wood in same class as Morse but maybe give more to the latter as seemed to have a bit more leadership to him.

Trey McBride disagrees with this argument.

With what picks? Two low end 2nds likely get us marginal rookie production and adding Metcalf takes away a significant amount of cap room to preventing us signing other guys. I understand the appeal but until we fix the defense this team is likely not going to go any further in the playoffs.

As a cut he wouldn't count in the free agent lost/add formula. He is a health risk for sure but he's be on a list of maybe guys.

Fair assessment.

Maybe him being the 6th best CB in coverage or being 5th best CB overall? https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/christian-benford/79181#gradesWidget

Another hole for them to fill. The Bills fan in me likes it.

The question I have is if we prevented the miracle would those feeling we should have started Flutie feel the same way? Or who would we start the next game?

Well it was a nice thought.

Kirk lined up in the slot 76.8% of the time in slot last year. By contrast thought Lockett was more a slot guy cuz of his past but only 27.1% of the time last year.

It depends on the position tbh. I can see doing it on RBs or LBs as traditionally these positions not vital to sign to second contracts. Or if looking to fill short term depth and okay going for an older guy. Yet if looking for impact and/long term solution ideally want someone 22 or younger.

These last two are a slot guys. Yes more WR options for other teams to pursue. To me Cooper or Slayton are guys we should pursue but address Dline and CB first. PS bring back Mack too.

He was a 2nd rounder sometimes gotta plug and play or in his case plug and pray at LG. Sure they could pursue a low cost vet to compete but ideally not what you want. Smith was franchised. He's getting top 10 Oline money unless can get a long term deal worked out to spread the money out.
