OLine or DLine ?

Honestly Ron Edwards career may be over. He's. old. 2 consecutive IR seasons now. It's clear his body is failing as a football player. DT is a need. A big one.

It just comes down to who's available like you said. You probably can't miss either way between the top LT or DT....

It would be such a luxury though to have a stone wall OLine where Cam could basically do whatever he wanted to the defense...at DT just throw in the biggest slab of beef you can find...

I would not mind a LT if we could go out and get a DT like Dorsey, Branch, or Melton. Though, I'm having a hard time thinking any of them could impact the game like a Star in the future.

I hate to have a losing attitude, but this season is over already and what I want is to land a high pick. I also love to add a nasty beefy OL, so if we can land a high enough pick and trade down to receive a extra 2nd, I'd love to add Taylor Lewan. I really think that Lewan is just as good as Joeckel. He may not be as elusive as Joeckel but he has great size at 6'7 and a ready NFL body. If not Lewan, even Matthews is in consideration. A "few" really good LT in this draft.

I think Lewan is more Jake Long and Joeckel is toward Joe Thomas. Still, both Franchise LT.

Guys that could be in the 2nd: Eric Fisher, Lane Johnson, Dallas Thomas, Oday Aboushi, D.J. Fluker, Brennan Williams

      Interesting topic.  I have had a few NFL friends and one told me that he could not work out or train unless the activities and facilities were approved. AI: In many NFL contracts, certain activities are restricted, and injuries sustained during those activities can lead to the voiding of contract guarantees or even the entire contract. These restrictions often include dangerous activities like skydiving, rock climbing, or even engaging in contact sports like boxing. Additionally, injuries sustained while working out at non-team facilities or during personal recreational activities may be classified as "non-football injuries," potentially impacting the player's compensation.    Having said that, I question the reason the person filming this was not helping.  Secondly, the decision to put it on social media makes it seem a bit prearranged.  I do not think this would violate his contract, but I do think it is a bit stupid on his part in that he could be injured.

      Doesn't make it right.  And as you put it, you wanted to ban him from being country, which is essentially policing who he is as a person lol  I get protecting the "asset", but banning people from living their life is crazy. Russell Wilson likes to play helicopter pilot.  I would deem that WAY more dangerous.  Those things scare me.  I still wouldn't want to keep him from doing it if I were his boss.  I would just try not to think about it, haha.

      Could do better could do worse. I've seen some people very indignant over bringing him back and I can absolutely relate to the sentiment. But it's just in a backup role. He's also a good locker room presence and an effort player so for a 1 year rental in a year where we aren't going to do much it's fine. This is a development year. And there will be options if need be at the trade deadline. Besides at the end of the day we all knew a signing like this was around the corner after how drafting Mark Williams ended. He should have been our franchise center for the next several years. I don’t put that failure on the Hornets.
