Interestingly, I wonder if we have left our offer the table to Hankins, not sure we would rescind it at this stage. Think I'd still have him at the right price.

It almost seems as if Bruce took last nights opportunity to follow through on his threats to Poston. "sign now or we'll draft an alternative." Bad blood??

Peregrine Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Well, on the plus side I really dont think we need to draft a DB with our next pick. Looking over available FA picks, there is a wealth of competent DBs still available. After the draft and other teams have filled their spots, that should leave teams like us being able to get a guy far superior to the likes of Scandrick, for close to vet minimum.

Est.1974 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Stacks of DBs available post draft. Think Navarro Bowman could also get a look. Boone for LG and CJ Anderson at RB....draft depending of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's still a possibility we can sign Hankins... I understand your point but if we could add Hankins for a rotational guy and fill that need here in the second and fourth round we should be okay.. So is it for sure the Steelers are staying put with bell? any chance of a day two trade for us to land him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I like how their offseason is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a potentially better version of Hankins drafted, w Phil Taylor (who looked good pre inj) as a backup... why would you pay hankins 8-9mil a year to do the same job. I'd rather they use that money for CJ Anderson, to resign our top 3 next year or another position of need in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool deal...I can roll with this..ya that's right Phil Taylor was turning some heads just before preseason or during preseason..ya geesh why would we want Hankins now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshSkinsFan Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Did not want Hankins even before the draft unless he came down on his price and there was no indication he ever did. I would far rather we roll the unused cap into next year now when we know we are going to be tight for space and give ourselves the freedom to be active in FA in 2019 and extend Scherff, Crowder and Smith.

Peregrine Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 At this point McClain will now get cut. We will have plenty of room to sign a good DB, one of about 5 thats still left in free agency, and still have over $12-13 million left over, that leaves the big glaring need of LG.

Yeah, McClain or Hood, depending on how camp goes. I would add RB too. As for a db, I wouldn’t mind FS competition, but I’d really like a (better) slot corner option. I believe Vaccaro has experience at both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I heard it stated by a respectable source, that McClain may be cut as early as June. I'm guessing it's to be that early, in order to free up the dollars to sign a player who also gets cut in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
