Conn Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 27 minutes ago, Renegade7 said: That's exactly what it looks like. Mad respect for holding our oline together with marshmallows and toothpicks the last couple years. But that isn't a plan. And if that is the plan going forward because we've been getting away with it, it's a recipe for getting Wentz killed. Don't you feel like you should wait and see if we sign any OL before assuming it’ll be a duct tape and paper clip solution? They’ve consistently been successful in supplying a good offensive line from lesser parts, true—and if they feel that’s an edge they have that can be exploited to spend more elsewhere, I’m inclined to see if they’re right. But that’s also setting aside the fact that they could still sign an actual starter long term at a value they’re comfortable with, which they were unable to do with Flowers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could make room for any big signing we wanted, sure, but we had very top-heavy rosters with awful depth that injuries could decimate. It was not smart or great lol.

We signed big on the top of our roster and had horrible depth because of it, and the inability to sign our own (few) homegrown guys. That’s cap hell. It doesn’t just mean that you have to do rounds of deep cuts every year. We absolutely experienced the downsides of spending the cap that way.

I jus wish I knew what problem they saw with Flowers the player or the contract. Didn't Flowers only miss one game last year and it was due to COVID? He was very much a rock in an ocean of Flux last year. This gamble makes me uncomfortable at best, I get giving them a chance, but haven't we seen them walk into seasons with patch work olines before and seen it backfire, too? That's different then the oline becoming patchwork during the season. Guess I shouldn't be surprised we haven't resigned Lucas yet. We jus talked yesterday about being optimistic while realistic, I want this to work while still having door open for constructive criticism and yea, some venting as well.

Birdlives Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Pretty crazy how fast the NFL turned into the NBA. Watson is literally holding up 75-80% of free agency based on where he goes.

moondog Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Flowers just doesn’t make sense to me. He’s young, in his prime (maybe getting better really) and durable. It was my understanding we easily could have restructured/extended his contract to minimize the cap hit this year. And it made sense to me given he’s only 27. That one was just extremely unexpected. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeenzfan Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 8 hours ago, JamesMadisonSkins said: Norwell, Trai Turner, Darryl Williams are all solid IOL that were with Ron in Carolina that are currently free agents and likely on the cheaper side. Curious to see which one of them is our new starting LG or RG (if Charles/Schweizer kick left). Also assume we draft a Guard now, not sure when. So you let a younger player who was durable and played well go to sign older players that played for you in CAR? Makes no sense. He should have been a candidate for an extension.
