Benson was an rear end in a top hat to the city but not more than most other owners would've been. The future is obviously completely unknown, but Gayle Benson is, uh, not well regarded by anyone who knows her.

The biggest available market is literally a THIRD team in the New York area, perhaps New Jersey.

The Panthers could have had Allen Robinson if they just spent better.

Eh with the panthers secondary the way it Is, even with a new number 2 corner without a great defensive line rotation the entire defense would be boned.

They have to keep Luke running free. Dontari wouldn't have been my first choice but it pretty much makes star leaving a non issue.

9 mil on Dontari Poe is also dumb. He's basically a run stuffer, but he does get that done.


I have serious doubts that a guard Shanahan let walk will be any good for the Shanahan system we have installed in Atlanta.

Poe was solid last year. Worth $9M a year solid? Debatable...but we now have a large gap at DT that needs filling most likely by a rookie so...

And I had serious doubts as well, but I've been reading up on the dude and I guess early on he sucked in Minny but moved to SF and the ZBS and was much better but was still tied to a poo poo oline. This guy I follow on twitter who is really good went through the all 22's of every sf game and he is encouraged by the signing so I guess we will see. I'm there with you though...our big fa signing was a guard we have never heard of hah. This offseason has been tough to watch from Poe to Carolina, Suh maybe to NO, Clay maybe to NE. Blegh.

Yeah, with the space we have currently I have a feeling they are going to double dip at DT in the first few rounds of the draft. DT, TE, DT maybe or DT, DT, TE. I dunno.

Bennie Logan maybe? :shrug:

We're not drafting a TE. The franchise sees Austin Hooper as the receiver TE they want and they'll just sign scrap heap guys for a few years to be blockers.

I expect them to draft for the trenches heavily in day 1/2.

I'm not so sure about them not drafting a te...we will see, but Sark loves splitting out tes and he really couldn't do that with Levine. You may be right, but with the guard signing, I think te will be in the mix in the first few rounds.

DT is the glaring need, DE as well so maybe combo players after the 1st than can kick inside.

We needed a guard just to get through the loving season. I still expect we draft oline day 1 or 2.

We have 10 linemen right now...
