2024 Free agency and draft thread

[dtgold88]

I'm sure teams are offering a 1st for him... but if you read Battle's post, the Bengals ownership is being absurd with their demand, so I'm coming up with something absurd lol.

Just hard to believe these rumors as anything that's really happening. I mean, I remember when Jimmy G was on block in NE and many were saying reports were NE was demanding 2 firsts for him.

He was decent for a couple of years in GB before he got banged up. It will be interesting to see if he does anything in Philly, I forgot about Shipley, I guess he’ll take on the role Gainwell had last season, Shipley was a pretty good RB at Clemson I remember, what do you think of him?

Meh..... do not think Packers were interested in bringing him back and do not blame them, assume you are referring to his last injury that he missed all of last year.

As a "backup" and get a few carries during game he is OK... decent catching the ball out of backfield.

However.. if injury and needs to carry the load, not going to happen. Twice when Jones went down for extended time Packers hoped he would be the guy (and why they drafted him in 2nd round)... but he never lived up to that... also struggles (for being so big) to pick up short yardage on 3rd/4th down or near the goal line.

Eagles signed a back up edge today from Chiefs Josh Uche. Didn’t see salary but it’s a one year deal. Can’t be much. This to me says they’re turning over that starting spot to Jalyx Hunt. Fangio now has three guys on the defense he can cover or rush with in Smith, Hunt, and Baun.

Uche is likely a decent player but in no way fit Spags scheme and was buried despite having a pathway to play

Yeah I found out I should be seeking insight from the Pats fans. Seems like he never got on the field after being acquired midseason by the Chiefs. Seems like he had one nice season living off of Judon but is essentially just a guy. Watch Vic Fangio turn him into an All Pro like Baun haha

eat or be eaten?

If you don't want to be eaten, don't act like food!

Ueche was a great draft pick, but........
He was always out of position. He would play hard but usually run right past the play trying to get a sack.
He was let go because he would not accept coaching.
He was labeled a selfish player because he chased stats instead of playing the position.

I hope getting tossed around he learns to accept coaching and becomes the player he should be.....

I feel better about this one. Seems like the Eagles have had success taking guys with this profile and turning them into productive players.

Not sure what to make of this. Is he an outside corner or a slot corner? I always thought he was a slot corner.

Jerry fishing for bottom-feeders apparently. Javonte, Dillon and now Sanders. Well, Javonte has some promise if he can continue to stay healthy.

So the Panthers cut Miles due to lack of production. Cowboys cut Rico Dowdle after a productive back half of the season and got him at a good price. Then the Boys sign Miles.
