Wes was a consistently solid depth piece who also flashed and came up big at times. Ton of appreciation for what he did in his time here, it’s players like him that you need to field a Super Bowl contender, to support the superstars and have cost effective contributions that aren’t sexy but can be the “glue.” Have fun in retirement big guy.

Undrafted--we got a lot out of him.  If I were Wes, I would be proud.  So you second shift waffle house parking lot sweepers should understand that not everyone in life achieves the lofty status you have acquired.  Know when to tip a hat and shut up once in a while.  Jeez.

Congrats to Wes. To even make an NFL roster you must have greater athletic gifts than 99% of the population, but within that select company even fewer are blessed with the gifts needed to be a star, a Pro Bowler, or even a multi year starter. The rest is a product of effort and determination. To be an UDFA and earn a 7 year career in the league is to get the absolute maximum out of the gifts you were born with.

My hats off to Wes and my sincere thanks for everything he brought to the team in his time here. I wish him luck in his future endeavors fully confident that people who have shown such effort and determination over a sustained period rarely need it. They usually do just fine for themselves one way or another.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
