I had no idea who Tony Hills was so here's what Google tells me:

6'5", 304 lbs., 30 years old.

This will be his seventh season.  He's played 13 games, started one, and has played for eight different teams.  Had injury problems in both high school and college.  Did not play at all in the 2013 season.  Rotoworld has him listed with the ability to play guard and tackle.

From the looks of it, he seems to be a camp body.

Eh, not what we need.  But whatever.  

With Martin, this buy time to get into camp and see what shakes out with other rosters. If the FO didn't panice last year, for better or worse they won't panic this year either.  Besides, I really don't think they had any major expectations of Martin.

Yep, likely just a camp body which is fine at this point.  Camp starts in a week and we needed a body at OT.  You can bet we'll be watching the waiver wire as teams trim down to their 53.  There's a pretty good chance that there's a backup OT on our final 53 who isn't currently on the roster.  I sure hope we aren't putting any eggs in the Nate Chandler basket.  That experiment has thoroughly failed.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
