jwhit34 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Probably for the league minimum or close to it. Probably gave him a small signing bonus (less than $100k) so if he doesn't make the team it really doesn't matter in terms of dead cap. Signing any of the squids (last 10 on the 53) is fine. They will go to camp with 90. With Alexander and Sirles signing they have 51 under contract that were on the 53 at some point this year (some went to IR). They will draft 10 players which gets them to 61. With all the cap room maybe they use $60 million of it and sign 10-12 players that have played in the league (a few expensive guys but probably 4-5 that will probably cost no more than $6-7 million total if history is any indicator). At a minimum that makes the competition much better than in the past: 70-73 guys who have played in the league or are '19 draft picks. That means probably less than 20 roster fillers, which includes any undrafted FA from the '19 class, of which they usually have at least 6 of those guys. That leaves maybe a dozen roster spots for filler guys, which is probably half as many as in the past. So that's good. 1

oldmanfan Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Depth move. After FA and the draft one hopes you have better guys, and this guy gets cut.

TigerJ Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 No, he won't blow anyone away, but he's a useful bottom of the roster guy. Maybe he has a little untappled upside that Bobby Johnson can bring out.

1st&ten Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 He's played in a couple of different schemes so maybe the FO thinks he will be a better backup under the new O-Line coach. I think Castillo ran a zone blocking type scheme, I wonder what the new O-Line coach will run ? 1

McBean Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Duke Williams signed. Check off WR. Sirles signed. Check off offensive line. Since offense is fixed, we can now draft a CB in the first. Boom. Edited January 16, 2019 by McBean 2

McBeane's history is wasting picks and moving up in the draft. Fortunately the only wasted picks they can use are day three picks. They will package the late round picks and probably try to get a higher 2020 pick. The only way they use ten picks is if 3 of them are PK, P, and LS. 1
