Est.1974 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Not sure this is a great sign the day before the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillBill26 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I like the signing. Bergstrom is quality depth. He is familiar with the system. I'm sure it's low cost with little guaranteed money. He is not dictating that they now stay away from drafting an interior lineman early, and I'm sure if there was a roster crunch in August they could cut ties with little dead money. No brainer, bc there is nothing to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we were literally playing the 6th string OG by the end of last year, I count this as a win lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooka Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Bergstrom has started 11 games for us in his 2 years as a Skin. He can play both LG, RG, and C which makes him valuable depth. I'm a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Skins Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 This is another one of those under the radar good moves. He's not a starter but can play in a pinch and helps us to not be going into the draft with another glaring weakness. I doubt he's considered the answer, and he probably is on the outside looking in right now as far as a roster, but if Arie isn't good or if the UDFAs from last year don't develop or if we're unable to get our guy in the draft, or if they're not good or get hurt, we're at least back to some form of last years roster at the position.
