Conn Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Dee Ford was just cut by the 49ers because he’s hurt all the time. But on a prove-it contract (which could earn us a comp pick if he does prove it) I’d sign him to play spot duty on the edge just whenever he’s healthy. He’d just be a bonus for us, though he’d obviously be a big help while Young is recovering if he was available—He couldn’t be relied upon though. Just a mercenary finishing touch on the DL who might be drawn here bc he’d have a chance to shine when healthy with the guys he’d line up beside. I’d look into it. Don’t want to invest big cap dollars in injury-prone players, but I’ll let the ones who need to prove their worth to the market try to do it here for cheap.

I like that idea too, unfortunately we just don't do that anymore. We get all excited for the big names and those guys go to the cowboys or bucs and we sign a guy who spent the last 3 years going from practice squads to the CFL and back. It's just the Washington way now. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By now Rivera has his mind set on who he wants on the roster and not much sways him from that path short of bringing in a few camp bodies or maybe an end of the roster bubble guy. It seems to be his m.o. Edited July 27, 2022 by redskinss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a lot more whiffs than he was called out publicly for and was over paid. He's available for a reason and clearly not willing to be a backup. Collins isn't a starting Safety and refuses 2 down LB'er contract, If I were to guess. Still could find a 1-yr deal unsurprising. They need a vet MLB'er as depth insurance and a Coverage LB'er. They're going to get burned if they do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the FO has the general idea that Young is gonna miss a few games, I could really get behind the idea of bringing in a vet pass rusher to help fill in the gap. Someone cheap to just help us bridge our way back to Young, and act as insurance in case he faces a set back. I'm not sure how cheap Ford would be, but he certainly fits that mold. We don't need and every down edge starter, just a supplementary piece who can do a little more than provide blow. Kinda like how Kerrigan was used behind both Young and Sweat.

Est.1974 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Clelin Ferrell, K’Lavon Chaisson, couple of players at various stages of being draft busts, probably not making the LV or Jax rosters. I’d consider those decent projects to works on. Can’t see Chase Young being back anytime soon what so ever, we are very light at that spot if so. Aren’t we interested in Barr ? If you need a very short term stop gap, has Kerrigan retired yet.....seriously.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, though, I think we're going to get the report card on Cole and Jamin in about 5 days. If there are new faces next Monday, then we have all the answers we need. If there are not, then they saw enough to think they have what they need. When Ron said before training camp he needed to check out the LBs for a week, I actually thought he probably mean "in pads" so this week after the ramp up period. So, let's see. I wouldn't be surprised if they pushed the run game a bit at these guys early in practices to see how the LBs hold up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bad injury risk for depth veteran signing. You're signing a guy like Barr as a rotational guy with the experience to step in if a starter goes down. If you're depth guy can't stay healthy then is that wise? Better off with someone you can depend on, but JJ loves him some brand names! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayo was initially cut to get down to 53, but it wasn't really about skills. It was mainly because his contract carries no real dead money, he's not super sought after, and he's not subject to waivers. He was resigned as soon as spots opened up by placing people on IR, which was a day or so later. He was never on the practice squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
