IF Cam Erving comes back cheap, would you want him back?

I think he was a nice guy but a terrible NFL starter

 

From what I read  Ekwonu stated that Irving gave him a lot of veteran advice throughout the season.

 

With Christenson / Corbett nursing injuries, I personally would not mind to bring Erving back on a very team friendly 2-3 year deal. He can play all 5 positions, none of them great of course but I just think he is an ideal vet leader for this young O-line

Cheap? Sure. But he's made a lot of money in his career. Not sure he'd want to continue for near veteran minimum which is what is want him at.

I will say this, he seemed to be smiling and enjoying life last year here (who wouldn't be making bank to do nothing) and the other offensive lineman gravitated towards him.

So maybe he is willing to come back cheap, bc like you said, it's the only way it makes sense

I think James Campen will also have a say

I’m beginning to see we just need to wish the opposite of your cheerleading 

Sorry, he was ass cheeks in Cleveland and was of no real use here but as a mentor/backup. Get out of the bargain basement and shop for mentors that can actually play too.

We've got a great starting line, but with a new system coming in, no need to keep guys like Erving or Elflein around for continuity.  

I'm not going to pretend I know backup lineman in the league, but I'd like to see us fill backup spots with players who are familiar with the offensive coaches who have come in.  Guys who will know the system and concepts and can help make the starters pick it up faster and be more suited to play if needed from injuries.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
