With brockers already making a chunk of change and Donald deal impending, I'm good with saving money on NT and rocking with a rookie, especially if it's gonna be a guy only playing like 50-60% of the snaps.

Would like a bridge ILB signing with hopefully a draft pick to be the future. Olb is obviously a need but idk if there's really anyone worth paying, but if barwin isn't coming back I guess someone is going nuts to be needed regardless.

I'm good with using this years money to start paying Donald and Joyner so we don't lose people in the future when Gurley, goff, and peters all need to be paid

I think wade likes having stud dlines and dbs while plugging in cheap, good tackling lbers in the middle. I could be wrong though.

Bradford gone and Suh a Ram? Wouldn't that be ironic. The old Suh crowd from Ramstalk would be going nuts.
I gotta say that I would go nuts with that ad. I admit to wanting Suh and also that I was probably wrong in hindsight and timing.

But I was all in when we went Bradford instead of Suh and I still think Sammy was the right pick then but I also think getting Suh in his current situation would be a dream scenario - right here - right now. Add Bowman? This is a defense that is ridiculous.

Agreed.
Maddeningly so sometimes.
Speaking of which, my buddy and I play madden quite a bit. Hes a Denver fan and obviously I play with LA. Anyway, for some reason Alec Ogletree used to DOMINATE literally every game. He was fast so I blitzed him a lot and would get a sack at least once a game. Also, he had some crazy INTs. So when Oglretree was released, he sent me this picture.

I hope we sign someone. This feels like a Fisher Free Agency. We had the bombass trades, but I want someone to want us, to want to be here.

NRC probably could have gone somewhere, and I bet he could have got more money. He wanted to be here.

Talib nixed a potential trade to the 49ers, because there were only two places he wanted to go - and one of them was here. Now he is here and he's happy about it.

The two big names we lost in the last 24 hours - Watkins and TruJo - put money above being here. Fine, let them go.

That would be nearly every player in the league.
Tru became expendable because of the trades and Watkins was overpaid.

Tru also became expendable because he wanted more money than he's truly worth and wouldn't sign a long term deal for a reasonable amount. Hence the two franchise tags until we could get another solution.

I like Tru, but not at an average of $15 million for a long term deal.

And some players will take a little less to stay with a team. Brees probably could have got more than he did to stay with the Saints, but he stayed anyway.

I wouldn't mind trying to sign Jordy Nelson. He isn't an extreme athlete and has dealt with injuries but he is a guy that can put stress on a corner. That would give us some very crafty receivers - tools in the bag!

Any true word on Tavon? I am thinking maybe just holding on to find a suitable trade partner or possibly keeping and let compete.

Only problem is you are slowing Reynolds growth for a stop gap. If they did go after Nelson, it would tell me they are not super high on Reynolds or at least they think he is still a year away.
