Already a few names that have my interest form other teams- 

TE Ben Braunecker

LB Jonas Griffith

LB Brady Sheldon

LB Tre Crawford

DT Ryan Glasgow

LB Todd Davis

TE Jordan Leggett

WR Hakeem Butler

OL Cody Wichmann

DE Joe Jackson

TE Michael Roberts

RB John Kelly

DB Adonis Alexander

 

I see the panthers making about 3 waiver claims.

What is the story with DE Joe Jackson?  I thought he was a steal in the fifth round---must have been a huge disappointment.  6-4, 275.  He ran under a 4.9 at the combine--but his other measurables were not impressive...

I wonder if the Cowboys are going to run primarily a 3-4 and the news of Gregory returning could have led to this?  Speculation on both fronts.  Just not sure what McCarthy is doing.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix & Muhammad Sanu are a couple of big surprise names.

I don’t think we have room at receiver but Clinton-Dix maybe??

I get the point made here--I read a Dallas site and he was predicted to be the "surprise" cut this year.  Good call.  However, here, at least on paper, I really like where we are at S.  Boston?  Not that much, but maybe as a leader he will step up.  Chinn, Burris, and Robinson--I am really hoping for that to develop.  I hope that we do not bring in someone who will steal time from these 3 new players--but I have not been at practice--so we could be open to it.

Blowboys just had Gregory reinstated, plus they added Aldon Smith and Griffen in FA. No room for a young pup. I like Jackson coming out and thought he was a worth 5th rounder, Dallas scooped him the 5th. I believe @LinvilleGorge liked him too. Part of my list focused on teams that were deep at spots ie dallas at DE, bears at TE, and 49ers at LB. By the end of cuts, you could make a competitive team form them. All except QB have some talents, both young and old with real game exp. I hope Marty acts accordingly...

Yep, I liked him coming out of Miami but his pre-draft workouts were a bit concerning. He definitely tested significantly less athletic than I thought he would. Pre-workouts I thought he was a 4-3 DE. Post-workouts, I thought he was a 3-4 DE. I still wanted him in the 5th last year since after drafting Burns and Miller it sure looked like we were eyeing a full on switch to a 3-4 that never materialized.

I expect a few FA to sign after week one. If the NFL hasnt changed the rule- if a you had a veteran(at least 4yrs) on your roster week one, his salary was guaranteed for the whole year. Making the team week one will not mean much to the players in the 45-53 range.

Jackson was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round (165th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.

I doubt he clears waivers, but if he does, I might find a PS spot for him.  If we claim him, I just do not know enough about him to know whose spot he'd take--Weatherly, YGM, Obada?  We also have jalen Jelks on the roster---I just do not know how good they are doing now--flying blind but still shelling out the wisdom, I am .

Yup he was picked in fifth round, funny Jalen Jelks came for Dallas waving him(he was picked the 7th). Again the blowboys have too many DEs- Lawerance, Griffen, Smith, and Gregory. Shows you its not smart to draft and sign a bunch of FAs at the same time.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
