Around the NFL

So with Panthers camp upon us, it's time to put up another thread for news items from around the NFL.

Starting with...

Jake Long is reportedly visiting the Giants today. Speculation that he would be signed by the Falcons hasn't panned out...yet.

Word also that former Colts OL Gosder Cherilus is visiting the Bills (who just cut Chris Williams).

Via the Falcaholics, news that the Falcons have PASSED on Jake Long, but instead have signed Demarcus Love

I only skimmed the article, but this makes me feel a little better about our signings yesterday.  Suggests the OT market really is very thin at the moment.  The Falcons signed someone pretty similar (little experience, bounced around a few teams) to who we just signed.

Some Bucs roster moves, including signing a former Panther PS member:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made five roster moves ahead of the real start of training camp on Friday. The team signed cornerback Jude Adjei-Barimah, first reported by the Tampa Bay Times, safety Kimario McFadden and cornerback Al-Hajj Shabazz.

The two cornerbacks are both undrafted free agents, and both of them have pretty good size for cornerbacks. Adjei-Barimah is 5'11", 200 lbs. while Shabazz is 6'2", 185 lbs. Both of them had a slew of tackles in college, which suggests some physicality and the possibility of moving to slot cornerback.

Meanwhile, McFadden was an undrafted free agent out of South Carolina last year, spent time with the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and Bucs as a practice squad player, and he's now back in Tampa. The 5'11", 197 lbs. safety should compete for a spot on the practice squad.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
