heck yeah, THE Dallas Walker!

Nothing like adding a 27 year old TE that has never logged a NFL stat to show you mean business! ....when your hopeful starting DE goes down

Gettleman definitely got his eyes on that 'ship!

Usually I'd back this sentiment, but theres nothing on the market right now, and the best bet we'd have at a respectable DE would be after final cuts.

For people wondering why they did this now, remember that for Frank to make it to IR without waivers he would have to be kept on the 53 man roster, then sent to IR.  Doing that would mean that we would have to clear our 4th DE (or whatever 53rd player) through the waiver wire before he could be added to the roster.  On top of that the odds of FA being claimed are lower because he already has two strikes with the drug policy and will have basically missed two seasons.  He also won't be under contract, but would be available to use one of the RFA tenders.  

It is different for KB where it makes no sense to risk him because another team would certainly claim him.  There we will likely be putting our last WR onto the waiver wire, but I think that's fairly safe for our team (not bashing what I think will be Boykin, just saying).

It should be uncomfortable to sit on the Iron Armchair GM Throne

He's never logged an NFL stat and he's already as productive and Frank Alexander has been for us

I trust Gettleman more than I do you. There's reasons for every move made whether we understand it or not. Let the people in charge do their job.

You are probably right, Walker is probably a natural lefty...

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
