I hope the NFL has a reasonable, consistent, and fair plan but they aren't exactly being transparent about their decision making process.

Expand Well he has had over 500 snaps with the Pats* so I would think he may be a bit more valuable signing him to the PS than lets say a guy like Austin Proehl. Only 1 penalty in all those snaps. 3 Quote

Expand subject to waivers or has accrued enough years to pick his team? Played at Iowa, bounced around the league a lot but been with NE since 2017. Probably played with Boettger on the Hawkeyes. If they released him there's probably a reason, but you can never have enough OL. Quote

SECRET SQUIRREL Posted November 9, 2021 Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) He's the son of Kirk Ferentz from Iowa who McBeane have a close relationship with so I could definitely see us putting in a claim for him. Edited November 9, 2021 by SECRET SQUIRREL Grammar Quote

Straight Hucklebuck Posted November 9, 2021 Posted November 9, 2021 I think its a no brainer for us. Our lineman grades on PFF are abysmal. Quote

MJS Posted November 9, 2021 Posted November 9, 2021 We're not going to find any upgrades at this point. I know everyone is frustrated with the oline, but with the NFL wide olineman shortage, anyone worth a shot is on a roster. Quote
