Camp competition for the swing tackle role, methinks.

I really liked the way Ryan VanDemark looked, but what the hell do I know?

 

I'll also give it up for my guy, Gouriage. I am so interested to see his preseason this summer.

OK....now the Diggs trade makes sense

[OZBILLS]

YES!!!!

 

Wanted him since draft day. Happy with this. 

 

Beane...

We need a safety. But he’s probably a camp body at this point. Guy has spent half his career on it. He has played both guard and tackle so could be good depth if he’s actually healthy

I'd say trading Dawkins to move up in the draft is all but done now 🙃

This was my first thought 😂 He's the only player so far who said anything to Diggs that I saw 🤣 HE MUST GO!

Our entire roster is camp competition

This move is out of left field.....but Collins if he's healthy is a quality player.  

 

I thought he was an OT,  can he play LG?

Contract details will be key here.....up to $6.25M sounds insane.

 

I wonder if trading Brown is in play....I highly doubt it, but he is going into the final year of his deal. That contract just seems absurd for a depth tackle. But again hopefully the base salary is a lot less than what is being reported.

We had to spend that extra 3 million before we could sign this guy for 2/3 of what they have left.

 

Beane working with government funding.  Use it or lose it! 🤣

I'd guess the base is 3.5 mil and the 6.25 is based on playing time

Yeah likely heavily incentive laden with the standard up to language

Hope so. 

 

I see some our suggesting him starting at G. The contract would make more sense then. But has he played guard before?

Yes he can play OG. He actually IMO is better inside. That is where he started at in Dallas.

He stated his career in Dallas inside and was good there only bumped outside when Free Retired 

[Trust The Process]

I'm guessing La'el Collins will play the role David Edwards played last season

Then he'll fit in well

[TheWeatherMan]

At $6.5M max I’m assuming a void year or 2?

I am guessing he gets first shot at the LG spot. Where he started his career in Dallas and was good.
