2024 Roster Updates

[Bulldog]

You can’t fix size and instincts.

One would think Peters and Quinn have Harris’ trust to act without the dog and pony show.

I'm with Bulldog on this one. You assess the kid, and if he's a blown pick, you trade or release him. I don't know what they are seeing that tells them he is worth giving multiple games as a starter - but I don't see it, and I think it's one of the few instances where they have failed to follow their gut instincts in order to save face as an organization. He's a total bust and the quicker we move on the better imho.

It costs us $3.5M to pay him to watch football.


It costs us $12.6M to pay him to leave the building.

 

[Bulldog]

It costs us nothing more to sit him and or put him on IR with the hand surgery and let him go next Spring.

We don’t need to start him for the sake of starting him.

We don’t need to start him for the sake of starting him.

Agreed. But he’s probably better than several of the other players in the secondary.

Which speaks much more to the other players in the secondary than it does to Forbes…

 

[Bulldog]

Rebuilding is about continuing to churn, looking to find players where the ones at certain spots are not playing well and look to be limited physically to stick at this level.

There are no sacred cows.

No need to run a guy out there for 17 games who hasn’t looked like an NFL player since he was drafted.

Every year you see guys off of practice squads or released vets come in and provide a lift.

In a year where wins are clearly second to development no harm in being aggressive on the personnel front.

We have the time to try and find some gems rather than going with the same old same old and hoping against hope a guy like Forbes improves enough to be a mediocre player you end up releasing anyway in the next wave.

The Packers had him listed as an outside linebacker at 247.

I don't remember seeing him in action but I am guessing at 28 he is a career backup rush end?

Seems like a slot filler, not a guy to bring up later in the season to see if he has upside.
