CB Will Blackmon has signed two-year deal to remain with team, #Jaguars GM David Caldwell says.

 

also, Jags get a 6th this year and a conditional pick next year in the Gabbert trade

Senn signing with the Bears is no more of a big deal than what I had for breakfast this morning.

Best ST unit we've had in a long, long time. I'd think you'd want to keep them together, especially the inexpensive leaders.

[LinvilleGorge]

Not many WR's going early.

 

Draft class is tamped down the enthusiasm for those guys

 

The Eagles have to be kicking themselves in the ass for handing Riley Cooper all that cash.  They would've likely hung onto him for a lot less if they'd let him test the market.

Still no clue why the 49ers actually gave something up for Gabbert.

 

I do love that he's making twice as much money as Kaep though.

Still not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.

 

And, I am not over reacting over the WR issue....there are still good FA's out there and the draft is deep.

 

However, the OL definitely has me worried.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

As quiet as we've been (granted, not much money to make noise with), something is going down. Whether it be restructuring, looking at trades, cuts or whatever...I think we're in the area of just maximizing our cap space to go after the 2nd wave of FA. Luckily for us, guys like Nicks/Tate/James Jones are still out there. 

 

That OL though? Yeah, I've got nothing. 

 

Yup I think we are definitely trying to clearing some cap room to bring in one of those three. As free agency continues, their prices will continue to drop. 

 

As for the OL, I suspect Gettleman will pick up some guys cheap in free agency and address it early and often in the draft along with WR.

OL is by far my biggest concern.

Jim Har going to use next year to develop Gabbert.................,  then bench kaep,  .and prove once and for all that the 49ers are so talented that even Gabbert can lead them deep into the playoffs.     Afterward,  they release Kaep.

Bills free-agent S Jairus Byrd is on his way to New Orleans to visit the Saints, per source.

 

fug.

Now here's something to worry about: Jairus Byrd visiting the Saints...

It's insulting to me that I even have to go into this but I'll humor you.

Our abysmal offense would have been even worse if it wasn't for the fact that our ST ultimately benefitted it significantly. We just lost one of the most integral cogs in that unit, and have now depleted it even further of talent, a discouraging sign given that the coordinator is terrible and benefitted exclusively and significantly from the amount of talent that comprised he unit.

But by all means let's just disregard how fun it was having a terrible ST unit all those years.

With Harbaugh's over inflated ego, that might just have legs.

Order of concern....

 

1.  OLine

2.  WR

3.  CB

4.  ST LB

 

That is my point

[Pox 08]

Saints would be stupid to spend a ton on Byrd.          They had a top 5 defense last season..  they've done a good job at getting the most out of bit players.
