And he was the starting LG for 2019, a Super Bowl winning team, he just missed the playoffs with a high ankle sprain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be perfectly fine with him getting shifted there. Considering he's started at three different positions for teams that went to the Super Bowl, I'd be fine whereever they want to put him, it's more a question of who I want replaced 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 The plan at this very moment is for Wylie to play RT. That much is obvious. But if a stud RT prospect falls into our laps at 16 and we take him, well you got to put the five best guys out there. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Off-topic... Well, kind of on, but outdated... Was watching the end of the Pat McAfee show from yesterday and a caller called in and asked Pac Man Jones what it was like to play with Haynesworth... "Albert was a total dickhead. I really don't have anything nice to say about Albert." AJ HAwk: "Shouldn't Washington have seen that? This is a guy we probably shouldn't pay $100M?" Pac Man: "Well, Washington has always been a team that doesn't give a ****. They haven't won and they were just trying to win." Yup. Sounds right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/04/02/nfls-funding-rule-isnt-mandatory-did-the-browns-make-escrow-payment-for-deshaun-watson-deal/ NFL’s funding rule isn’t mandatory; did the Browns make escrow payment for Deshaun Watson deal? We’ve asked both the Browns and the league on Saturday. There has been no response. (We tried again this morning.) The reason for the question is simple. The relevant portion of the Collective Bargaining Agreement does not include mandatory language for the funding of future guarantees. The section on “Funding of Deferred and Guaranteed Contracts” appears at page 178 of the CBA. It begins like this: “The NFL may require that by a prescribed date certain, each Club must deposit into a segregated account . . . .” One of the first things they teach you in law school is the difference between the words “may” and “shall.” The first is permissive. The second is mandatory. So if it’s “may,” it’s not required. The NFL doesn’t have to do it. The funding rule was put in place years ago at the NFL Players Association’s behest, to protect players against potential owner insolvency. Now that no one is going broke, there’s no need for the funding rule. More specific to the terms of the CBA, there’s no reason for the NFL to require funding of fully-guaranteed deals. For now, the question is whether the NFL required the Browns to do it for Watson. If the league didn’t, some may wonder whether the funding rule is, at this point, nothing more than a phony device used by teams as an excuse to not give full guarantees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owners don’t pay any of this out of their own pockets anyway. NFL franchises (even Washington) are extremely profitable and cash positive. As per Forbes Washington had a turnover of $544M for the 2021 season and operating income of around $130M from that revenue after costs (a big chunk of those costs are player salaries and bonuses). The teams pays the money to players out of their revenues not the owners checking account. Snyder has been taking money out of the franchise not putting it in.

The point being I’d say is that the whole ‘we can’t do this because of the escrow issue’ has pretty much been cleared up here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I wanna see what Gibson can do with a legit OC like Bienemy. Turner was a freaking maroon who tried to turn Gibby into a north south power back. Use him as RB/WR hybrid type and get him into space. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to have to gather a bit to turn the corner with that much size and you probably would prefer he make one cut and go and not be a multiple cut guy. His straight line speed is elite and that does give him some ability to run zone, but I can see why they saw him as a north south guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I have heard jack-squat about Gibby being available. Jack-squat is a hair under what you would get in return for Gibby. RBs are a near worthless position value wise. If somebody wants to get off their stack and give me something worth my time I'm listening but you are almost assuredly not getting anything of note so the idea is an exercise in futility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueIndian Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I can't wait to see how EB uses Gibby. Hopefully he has more sense than RR and Scottie and dosen't try to turn him into a power back. The dude is legit good when he gets the ball off the LOS and in space to do his thing. Line him up at receiver and turn him in to a poor man's Anquan Boldin.
