Tress Is The Way Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 1 minute ago, bowhunter said: I agree about the Badger, Would be a great addition and certainly would infuse a little flexibility and energy into our D, but I don't think RR is looking for top shelf help in the secondary. However, I'm not sure if B.Wags should be taken off the wish list quite yet. I have no solid data supporting this theory, but I do think RR acknowledges the gaping hole in the middle of our D, and the importance of good LB play This for sure, he was a Linebackers coach and was a Linebacker when he played in the NFL. He definitely knows the importance of good LB play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I'm saying I'd like to add a big back...we'll run the ball with Gibson, Samuel, and whoever else we add....I just love seeing the big backs take over games in the 4th qtr when they're sprinkled in in between Gibson and Samuel carries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lists Honey Badger as still available...I could have sworn I saw a snippet saying he was signed yesterday. Him and Bobby Wagner are atop my list. Add maybe Daryl Williams as a jack of all trades lineman with starting potential Doesn't re-signing Bobby McCain kind of put a dent in the idea of going for the Honey Badger? Just a guess....I would think we have to sign a LB in this free agent class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't doubt he has a level of ability, I'm not saying he's awful im just saying if we're looking to progress in the Wide Receiver department Cam Sims clearly isn't the answer to that with a 4 year sample size to back that up He's a 20-30 catch for 300 to 400 yard guy. And he gets those at 14 yards a catch. For your 5th/6th WR what more are you looking for? I guess the question is can he develop into the 3rd/4th guy? Probably not and maybe you want someone in that 5th/6th slot who you hope can develop into more - but someone has to beat him out for that roster spot.

Inigo Montoya Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I would definitely look at Hooper, this staff wanted him a few years ago. counting on a healthy Logan Thomas doesnt seem like a good idea and we don't have a ton of draft picks right now.

I guess my point is that after 4 years you should have a good idea of what this guys ceiling is in the NFL, I know that the 5th/6th WR's aren't going to give you mass production, but as you point out can they develop into a 3rd/4th WR? 4 years of Sims the answer is clearly no. Personally I'd roll the dice elsewhere and see if we can find that natural progression elsewhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakazullo21 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Makes me think a signing is imminent. They don't make cap space unless they want cap space. They would have cut him prior to the start of free agency if they just wanted to get rid of him outright. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zim489 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I legit have no idea what this teams plan is. I just hope they arent clearing space to re sign Payne and/or keep Landon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cam Sims deal will be more than most expect I reckon. Just now, Zim489 said: I legit have no idea what this teams plan is.

Inigo Montoya Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 What the frijole??? So we have like 2 DTs now? Seems like they were 4 other moves to create space to do first. When Matt I is on, the dude is a super freak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrificTim Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I don't get the Cam Simms love at all. He seems like the classic Commanders WR over the past decade...tall, athletic and only good in the preseason. He has the physical tools and skillset but he almost never displays them on the field. I know he hasn't had a QB to throw him the ball but I think it speaks volumes that no one is reaching out to sign him and this staff isn't developing him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny21 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 1 minute ago, MartinC said: Very surprised by this. I’m surprised, but not shocked - that’s a fair bit of cap space for a rotational guy. Shame he never seemed to get back to his early success. But man, they’re kind of playing with fire at DT - no backup for Payne and now just Wise behind Allen. I’m sure it’s not connected, but the timing of the tweets - announcement of Hooper getting released, followed by Ioannidis - makes me wonder… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess this signals they intend to extend Payne and want to go younger and cheaper for depth on the D'Line. But I am surprised we have released Matt AND made no attempt to retain Settle. Thats a lot of quality depth walking out of the door. Matt was a very good interior rusher as well. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovi Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Maybe they are finally extending Terry now. How this hasn't happened yet is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
