Ayers: “We’ve got a lot of young guys on defense, and a lot of talented guys ... I wanted to be a part of a good team and a good defense.”

Ayers: “I have a lot of excitement just to be a part of this team, a part of this defense.”

Holy crap wikpedia already has him updated as a Ram. Do these people have no life or are they paid?

Anybody can update wikipedia which is why they get fast updates and also why you can't believe everything you read on there.

Sign Britt and shore up the line.

Young guy just coming into his own. Nice addition to the LB corps. Surprised the axe hasn't fallen on Dunbar yet.

Don't worry guys, we're gonna sign all defense in FA and then draft all oline in the draft.

We need to fill at least one spot, or resign Barksdale.

I agree, I expect us to sign at least one spot and maybe a backup - Barksdale would be ideal but I think the value in FA outside of guys we've reached out to on oline or have already signed elsewhere is at other spots, mostly defense. I wouldn't be shocked if we end up not signing really much more than Barksdale and see at least two olinemen drafted in the 1st 4 rounds.

Big shoutout to whoever changed the Patriots name on this page

I'd be a lot more excited about Fairley signing, tbh.

I small step for Ram, one giant leap for Ramkind.

 

[JoeBo21]

sweet now lets get Fairley, Barks and Wiz

I have no clue if he can play. I trust Fisher and Williams judgment on defensive players.

In the next few days we need to sign 3 offensive linemen and Britt. I want to go into the draft with no glaring holes.

What's an O-line?

Beat the tackle like a drum - but I looked up who it was because it wasn't the usual Lions LT (Reiff) - Cornelius Lucas, an UFA last year.

Regardless - I approve of this move!

Good! My Pats friend and work really likes him and said he wanted NE to resign him, FWIW. So that makes me feel good.

Hold the phone! We went nearly two pages on this thread without questioning why the hell you have friends that are Patsies?! Explain yourself!

Cool..I hope it totally deflates him.

Great deal for us. I'm actually kind of excited for this.
