Nail Rat posted:Well they're going to blow ten million more on free agents, and looking at what's available, Mack makes more sense. There's not a safety who's a longterm starter left, and the wideouts available wouldn't be worth splurging. Mack would be. The thing is, the structure of this contract will have to be funky (or a huge overpay) to keep the Browns from matching. I'd really rather overpay for Mack than Decker though.

ShakeZula posted:Yeah, there just aren't any safeties left on the market worth big money, and Grigson seems to prefer veteran Olinemen as his starters. I had been advocating going after EDS, but if Mack is there for the taking then he's absolutely worth a strong push. Drafting a FS in the second seems pretty likely at this point. Ugh, loving Pagano and his AFC North fetish. I really want Mack.

Quest For Glory II posted:Let the character assassination....... BEGIN Of Gettleman, maybe. Steve Smith is a "distraction" in the sense that he's in the sentence "Cam has loving no receivers to throw the ball to except Steve Smith who's somehow still very good despite being pretty tiny and having lost a step due to age and past injury" so I guess he's distracting from how good Cam is for having any sort of passing yardage at all in his career?

He was a good special teamer and not a disaster to sub in for a few snaps per game, but totally incapable of starting. He's (Joe Mays) also a former Bronco in 2012 who was the LB that hit Schaub late and partially tore the bottoms of both of his ears from the force of his helmet coming off. Which was probably awkward when he became a Texan in 2013. He was pretty not terrible for the Texans as a starter, but nothing special

Captain Munnerlyn and Henry Melton are both meeting with the Vikings on Thursday. Munnerlyn is only 25 and would be a big upgrade as a slot corner, though the Vikings would still need a starting RCB. Josh Robinson could fill that role, but I think it is likely that they'll draft a corner early in the draft. Melton would be brought in as DT depth and would presumably be looking for a short term deal.

A transitional tag is somewhat similar to a non exclusive franchise player, but the team gets nothing if it doesn't match the offer. Edit: beaten
