Burner's Burning Questions: Free Agency, The Mock Drafts, 2017 (Continual Updates)

[Fear The Spear]

Thought Kalis would stick.

Thought the word was he was having a good camp?

Oh well.........

I think they picked Catalina because of his versatility on the whole line.

 

[Fear The Spear]

Could we go after TJ Ward ?

I think not but who knows. I think he's got something going with the Buc's.

He had $4.5 non-guaranteed with Denver. Seems like maybe the Bronc's could've restructured his deal and maybe they tried to do so, who knows? Or they decided to let him go because of cap and/or health issues. Again, I don't know.

Also, he's 30. Granted not old but the Skins only have 5 guys on the roster at 30+ (right now) and like 30 guys at 26 or younger. I think they're going towards developing their youth.

Ehhh....

If he doesn't want to be here, I'd rather have somebody who does.

Like D-Hall ?

This could explain why Hall is still around.

After watching that, just let him go.

Dude is a flake.

 

[DixieFlatline]

I'm liking Compton in that.....wonder how long they've known this is going on.

 

[Fear The Spear]

I'm liking Compton in that.....

I'm liking Rob Kelley, too.
Him gettin all inquisitive.
Rob out of nowhere, pokes his head in, and be like, "Anything I can do to help ???"

 

[JohnssBass]

Like D-Hall ?

This could explain why Hall is still around.

Might explain why McClure made the roster.

 

[DieselPwr44]

Might explain why McClure made the roster.

Nicholson and Josh Harvey Clemmons too.....

 

[Fear The Spear]

Might explain why McClure made the roster.

I don't know, but I really wish we'd go "Fishing" for a safety.

 

[ntotoro]

That video is a hint and a half that Cravens isn't into it.

Nick

 

[Bulldog]

What's that old saying - 'once you are starting to think about retirement, you are retired'?

 

[Fear The Spear]

We got a safety who wants to retire at 22, and another safety who's 33 and broken down, and refuses to retire.
What a group we got here.

 

[JohnssBass]

Could we go after TJ Ward ?

Update: Ward signed with the Buc's. Deal is worth up to $5M with incentives. Good for them but better that Washington didn't go there.

Side note: Matt Jones signed with Indy. Good for him, maybe a change in venue will work for him. Still don't see him getting past Marlon Mack, let alone Gore but still good for him.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Just go ahead and trade Cravens. Try to get a 5th for him and settle for a 6th. Maybe McVay can do us another favor.
