Sanborn makes sense. Now if If they Draft Jihad? Murray could be on the roster bubble. I think Sanborn is who Eberflus turns to.
Murray has over a $7M cap hit either way. He isn’t going anywhere. That is my issue with him. If his cap hit was half that I’d like the move.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sanborn by the end of the year (or by the time Overshown is back whichever comes first) is playing more snaps than Murray. As a matter of fact I'm hoping for it.
and today, you'd like him if he were paid 3.5M.

So who is everyone's favorite player we brought in this offseason (ignoring our own guys like Osa and Turpin?
I'll go with Elam and Sanborn. Elam is physical and aggressive. Kind of the anti-Diggs. He was supposedly just out of place in Buffalo with all of the zone they run. Eberflus usually runs mostly zone so that is a concern, but I guess he at least runs a little more man than Buffalo does and I think Elam is going to be much better against the run. If he and Bland are the corners early in the year we will have two corners willing to step up and stick their nose in and not just give away the edge and outside runs In coverage he doesn't leave big cushions, which is the style I like more, even though again this is a little different than Eberflus and his bend but don't break style. But, I just like more aggressive and physical players.

Sanborn to me is just a lunch pail guy who played well when he got on the field and I also think he is going to excel on STs. Again a guy who is just going to stick his nose in. The opposite of the normal Jerry fast, combine star type LBer that just gets sealed off all of the time and picks the wrong hole and can't get off blocks. He has good instincts, is a good tackler and is also good in coverage and can rush the QB and he knows the defense. After Roquan Smith was traded to Baltimore in 2022 for the rest of the year his tackles were: 7, 12 (2 sacks), 9, 15, 11 and 5. Like I said the other day I wouldn't be shocked if he beats out Murray to play alongside Liufau until Overshown is back or at least rotates. In 2019 Zack Baun was a senior and Sanborn was a Sophomore at Wisconsin. Sanborn led the team in tackles and interceptions that year.
Dante Fowler for me. 10.5 sacks, 14 TFL, 12 QB hits. Honestly, don't know own why we didn't bring him back last season for the number of snaps he gets, his metrics are as good as anyones

This is mine. They should have brought back Fowler last year. I like the Elam and Sanborn additions.. Solomon not bad.. the rest does not move the needle...signing two vet running backs who clearly past their primes and they were not that awesome in their primes. They need two more expensive additions. A legit #2 WR would be nice.


There is speculation this year's UDFA crop is not looking good. Possibly some of these trades and moves were made because of this.

What are you talking about? Every player acquisition in a cap world takes cap hit into account. After all this time you still don't understand how it works? A $7.5M cap hit is exactly why Tenn was was thrilled to get rid of him and had no use for him and why it was a dumb move. It also wouldn't be a bad salary for a backup/rotation guy. Get it or would you rather just waive your pom poms?
