Very relieved. And one year… at that price? And got Lloyd at under the predicted rate too. Good going. This is the best option we had. By far. Short of a trade or a trade up in the draft. Neither of which I would have been real happy with but we were in a bad spot. I don’t think he is quite on Icky’s level but he was the best way to go. I am surprised he took a 1 year deal. I probably would have preferred three year but we can develop someone this year. All in all, this is the best case scenario. Thank you Dan.

Dallas didn’t really listen to him. I hope we do. I

I’d say this Pearce deal is far worse than what took Hardy down.

He obviously listened to his elders. I believe my grandmother actually told me this: if you want to know how your girl is gonna look in 20 years look at her mother.

His usual way. Bail the pocket to the right side, or slip forward past the blockers into that space between them and the LOS. Or just throw it sideways..

I didn’t know what you meant at first until I thought about it a second. Yeah that is in play. Hmmm.

That post is so full of poo I don’t where to start.

You can certainly find lawyers to attack the victim, and the police. The ‘best’ ones have no conscience, no remorse and will say anything. It seems like the guiltier the defendant is, the more outrageous their claims.

Seems as if someone would spill f we were talking to any FA tackles. I hope you are right though.

Maybe you are right about the coaches liking him. To me, he was the guy standing on the edge of the pile. Slow to get to the ball. Late to the party.

Our 1st overall pick in 2024 was pretty damned good. For Chicago.

He did green dot in 2024. I don’t question he may be a good dude and show some leadership. How long does it take someone to learn to find the ball and tackle the guy with the ball? Because that is where he sucks.

I sure hope they aren’t content with Wallace.

Morgan needs to go down to the crossroads and take Icky with him.

Agreed. That is something most probably see as a threat we don’t possess. Or enough of it.

I thought that too. I was about half serious, but poo, you’d never have another question about the position.

I feel like we are backed into having to afford it. When this happened with Icky, it was immediately code red for left tackle. Which did not at all fit with all the careful planning they had surely done to that point in time. Seems to me they are trying to implement their plans without taking the curveball into account. Or are disguising the existence of a plan to account for it. Which they need to do the big reveal on, any time now.

I don’t see ‘that guy’ coming out of these options. It is gonna be a struggle. But knowing we can shuffle them over to the right side is a relief and probably justifies the investment. I hate giving up a chance to take a two contract player at ILB but we are just up against it.

there isn’t a legit backup either. But we’ll be better at TE and nickel.

I know but this is a serious deal. The guy from Green Bay is there. Top FA option. He is what I’d call half decent, not trying to say he is anything more. We are sitting in a precarious position, with RT probably being an option as a position for him if or when we can upgrade or if Icky somehow comes back whole. So we could use him there in the future. He is a three or four year starter. The longer this draws out with nothing done, the more I see a costly draft day trade up. Rather not.

Our cupboard is practically bare, and we are depending on a crapshoot from the 19 slot. It isn’t what I’d call a strong position

Good chance our people had an idea of where he was at, it just wasn’t general knowledge. But I don’t understand their response, or lack of it, to the sudden loss of Icky.

The lack of left tackle being next to TE and nickel in that first line is just baffling to me.

Miller is a real gamble. People say he is just a ROT. He has played about 100 snaps at LT in school according to someone I watched give a breakdown of these guys. Which most people have missed when talking about him. But that’s it. And thinking he can start at LOT off of that is pushing it. He fits into the hole Moton will leave, but I don’t know how much it helps us this year. And he is the one that keeps being there at 19. We need some kind of plan for sure.
