theTruthTeller Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Bruce said he'd be signing some big names and he's coming through. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Twenty-five letters. Twenty-six if you count the "-". Holy cow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvernon Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I like these kind of signings. Maybe he is healthy and motivated enough to allow Moreau to play outside. If not, he's a veteran in the room who has played multiple positions. Get the vets in while you have young players who need to develop quickly. They have little choice but to hope for another jump from Moreau, and hope that Adonis Alexander can be groomed to replace Norman for 2020. Dunbar, assuming healthy, will be a decent stop-gap. Would be nice to use high picks outside of the secondary, but I fear that it may be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor 36 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I guess we're going back to bringing in old guys with "big names" on the down-slope of their careers. Maybe Dan is back to making the decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins island connection Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Has Bruce, I hear Jason Taylor is still around... Yea, its looking like Bruce is taking the 'I'm hiring vets to put bods in the stands' approach. If we're lucky, DRC may have 3 games left under his belt where he will be effective, but he looked like he was wearing down the last couple years, so I'm not getting my hopes up. Bruce has made me 100% pessimistic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can scheme to beat a corner that prefers to let someone else tackle, so he's a liability. Let his value go up, hope that Moreau improves and Alexander matures, sell high.
