scuba guy Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Just now, whatdrought said: They just traded for Gabe Jackson as well. Getting Russ some help to keep him happy... kinda feels like when your mom got the “fun blocks” set from big lots when you asked for the legos.... Man your showing your age
ColoradoBills Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I don't think Everett was on Beane's wish list. Like @WMDman said he is a Knox type TE. If Beane goes with money for TE I think he gets a big pass catching type or he doesn't do it at all. 1 1
junior Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 We know the team likes having a vet in every room and right now there isn't one in the TE room, so I'm thinking we sign a vet. Rudolph, Cook, or Ertz by trade would be my guesses.

But also think one of Howard or Brate will become available out of TB and Njoku also is probably available. Veterans like Rudolph, Cook, or even Reed wouldn’t be bad adds as well, especially to at least help further develop Knox. Tampa Bay just extended Brate. Think it's pretty clear that they're keeping him. Njoku's $6M 5-th year option for the Browns just guaranteed Jared Cook interests me. I don't know anything about his blocking abilities though. Can he block? I'm not persuaded Reed is an upgrade nor see how he'd help develop Knox. 1 hour ago, WMDman said: meh hes basically Knox 2.0 How so? Much better route runner and pass catcher as far as I can tell. He did have a bunch of drops last year but it seems to be an aberration as he didn't have that problem previous 2 years. Iffy as a blocker.

Well that means that Howard could be available. I wasn’t thinking both would, just that one likely would be out of Brate or Howard. I figured it would be Howard

I have a few rams fans in the family and they say hes inconstant as hell

NewEra Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I’m really glad that we didn’t spend money on him. Cap space can be used better elsewhere imo

HOUSE Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Tommy Sweeney is coming back and you guys will be so sorry
BuffaloRebound Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 No thanks to Everett. We already have a guy with talent and questionable hands. 1

The Browns need 3 good TEs on their roster because they run so many multiple TE sets. I think they only move Njoku if they have another to take his place. Seems like Rudolph would have been the likely answer for them, but that didn’t materialize. I do know that the Browns have fielded offers for Njoku but none they deemed sufficient. I got the impression that it was likely going to be a player for player trade if it happened.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I will take Rudolph for about $2 mil next week. We need a blocker and goal line target. Rudolph fits that for a cheaper price.

Rudolph fits that for a cheaper price. I think you are way off in your pricing. Everett just got $6 mill and he's never sniffed being a pro-bowler. Kroft got $5 mill. Rudolph is better than both. I think it would be a deal to get Rudolph in for $8mill a year. Part of the lure of trading for Ertz is that you would him for only $8 mill his first year (Philly picks up the rest). Jonnu just got $12 mill per.
