Not sure I get this unless Lewis goes on IR...but I'm all for adding players the scouts like
I think it's for vet presence in case the mass amount of Rooks aren't quite ready. I don't know enough about him to call the move good or not.
He was a starter with Carolina until Julio put up 300 on him. More a slot guy than outside. I guess a Vet but not a ton of experience. No issue with getting the player but wasn't sure why gave up a 6th for him. Clearly the thought is he sticks the year at a minimum if they gave up that pick and not that they are planning on cutting him once the DEs and injured guys come back. Who knows could be a great STs guy or and up winning a job. Not like we let go of anyone I think was going to play a big role although I was pulling for Marquez White and hope he makes the PS.
Frazier probaby played as well as byron. No big plays,but really no bad plays.
Is it a 6th? I read it is a conditional late round 2019 pick. I'm guessing if he's released by a certain week this season we keep our pick, if he sticks and plays well it might be a 5th.
Not sure. I saw 2019 6th. But yes, I also saw conditional so who knows. Would actually like it if we didn't have to give up a pick if we cut him. Maybe that's part of it
Yeah, I don't get that cut. I'd take him and start him.
Lets not forget, Dallas traded a conditional pick to Seattle for Christine Michael. Held on to him long enough to seal the pick into the deal, then released Micheal and Seattle picked him back up
Yeah man, he'd be the best player in our defensive backfield day one
I didn't know he was still eligible for waivers and that does change things. But, my original thoughts on the trade still stand about the same for me. If they are planning to have him on the 53 all year it's worth a 6th (or whatever it is). If they aren't then it's not because he isn't likely to start or even play in the nickel if the kids are healthy and play well. Perhaps the team doesn't feel Awuzie and Lewis will be ready to contribute this year. If that is the case then it is a very good trade. Or if they think he is better than Carroll it is also a really good move. I guess we need to see their plans. I'm never one to get upset about bringing in young vets and I don't go overboard on how good our young guys are until I see it on the field. So no issues with move, just thinking out loud. As the old saying goes "you can never have too many cover guys"
