No doubt that he still brings something to the table. As much as I dislike anyone involved in bountygate, he could help the team. I have a feeling that he will be chasing a ring though. SB win is all that is missing from his very distinguished career.

By that logic, #32 counts as round 2 then since we traded up 1 spot!

This was my thought as well

I've never had season tickets but always tried to make 1 home game / year. I haven't been since the steelers game in 22, their fans completely took over "The Bank". Not having a winning season and rising costs are a big part of that.

We still need starters at LT and C, so I expect 2 of our first 3 to be O-line. And I'm a big believer in always drafting a late round guard and hoping for the best!

Not sure I want to be in a situation where I NEED Ray.

Labryan Ray as well, per the link. Keeping the bottom of the roster churning!

God bless you for your optimism sir!

Its just money! We make it everyday, LOL. Fuggit, let's get it done! From what I can see, we're moving up and the rest of the NFCS is moving down. Might as well give it Hell and try for another playoff berth.

Jackson gonna break us next year if we keep him.

I have Hecht on my watch list.

I think we already made all the pair-of-dix jokes about ATL.

Wow, I didn't see this coming. Every Mock draft I've seen had them picking Jeremiyah Love in Rd 1. The Etienne brothers will be meeting twice a year. Assuming we keep baby bro.

IIRC, he had to come in a few times last year. Definitely not someone you want on the field at CB.

Good for him! I always liked him and he deserved to get paid. I wanted him back, but it's a deep draft at C and we can't afford to over-pay the whole line.

That's exactly what I said about the Horn extension.

You can't win if you don't ante up! Definitely a bigger signing / payout than I was expecting !

It looks like his biggest knock was his size / strength. A year with a nfl caliber strength coach ad nutritionist may have done him a world of good. FWIW (not much), he came out of Michigan State listed at 307 lbs and we have him at 314. I'll be watching him like a hawk this preseason. Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there. Strengths Enters into initial contact with body control and accuracy. Plays with above-average hand placement and strong core. Gets chin tucked and hips rolled into seal and base blocks. Athleticism to race around the corner as a pulling lead blocker. Smooth and fluid working from block to block. Sees twists and snaps them off with sharp push. Weaknesses Not very explosive at the point of first impact. Fails to generate movement on secure block before climbing up. Will have issues handling the size of an NFL odd-front nose. Pulled off balance when defenders feel him leaning in protection. Gets beaten into the pocket by length and edge power.

yep. buy on and draft one. Same for edge.

Great player, and, by all accounts, a locker room leader, but I will always hold a grudge against anyone involved in bountygate.

I wholeheartedly agree with everything Joe says here. Rico has earned the right to get RB1 money. Just not from us. Would love to get Mays back if we didn't have so much cash tied up in o-line. Rozeboom is a backup, not a starter. Let him do that (cheaply) here. We need Nijman back and his agent knows this. I'm fine overpaying slightly and drafting a LT in the 1st or 2nd round. The fact that he made the list at all tells you how dire FA is at the tackle position. Like Rozeboom, he's a backup, not a starter. Hopefully we hit in the draft and he can return to his wing tackle back-up role. I'm kind of surprised that Christensen wasn't mentioned. He's been a solid backup for us for years and can play all 5 positions (although he was a big drop off at C).

I wanted to offer Horn and XL for #29 and next year's 2nd. Sounds like they made a better deal.

That man has been an absolute beast for 16 years, has 8 pro-bowls, NO all-time sack record, $146M career earnings and zero SB wins. He's gonna chase a ring!!
