If you can convince yourself that minimum-wage Leman (at $310,000) could fill in as well as Anderson, you just saved yourself $700,000. The fact that both Connor and Johnson have positional flexibility helps.

Make a similar move with S Nate Salley (and Dante Wesley's move to safety might be the first step toward that), you just cleared another $1.01 million off the books. Figure if Wesley can play backup SS, they keep rookie CB Captain Munnerlyn and save another $700,000.

That's $1.4 million worth of cap room with no consequence, since Anderson and Salley were restricted free agents, with no bonuses to hit the books if they leave.

Might not sound like much, but that could be the difference between trading for a veteran DT with a contract, and dumpster-diving for cheap help later.

nate salley is an obvious one.

imo, so is landon johnson. can't stay healthy and on the active roster? you're wasting money. at least morgan gave us reason to keep him around. we saw what he could do. with landon johnson what have we seen? that he was the lead tackler for the bengals for 2 years and did nothing here except get hurt. him getting hurt in TC was fortunate for him because we couldn't see how all the UDFAs would outshine him.

i like leman and connor. i like anderson as well....he wouldn't have the number of tackles that those other guys would have but his ability to sit back and make a big play is pretty nice. what i see in him, though, is trade bait.

i like ivy and think he has a lot of potential. i think we would be Ok having him as the 6th LB if adding anderson to a trade could help us get that big butt butterball bulldozing DT. think of anderson's preseason performance as an audition tape/commercial.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
