Former 1st round pick OT coming to Chicago. 10th overall pick in 2020 after playing at Alabama.

Not necessarily a fan of signing someone who can’t pass their physical (esp if he costs a lot) but while doom scrolling found a story about another ‘failed physical’ guy we signed back in 2005. Guy by the name of Roberto Garza. (Apologies as this was a straight screen grab from the socials).

I’ve been a huge fan of Edwards’ as he’s been an unsung hero on defense. About a year ago I was discussing his stats with someone and found that he rivaled Lance Briggs on most of them. I fear this injury could be a crippling blow for him.

From my understanding Jackson was brought back to bridge the anticipated absence of Edwards while he still recuperates. I agree that Jackson will more than likely get more snaps by the end of the season.

Except maybe someone like Trey Hendrickson, Devin Bush and Coby Bryant. All positions of need who will contribute right away. If you’re differentiating that a majority of FAs are as you suggest, to “fill holes” then maybe. Same goes for drafted players…most of the time. If you happen to draft (let’s say) 10 players one year, maybe only 3 will contribute (right away) where the others might stick around and ‘fill holes’ until the next draft.

Honestly the Pro Bowl selections are more of a popularity contest than they are on pure talent. Ergo: a player like Nashon Wright had one decent year (out of six) because he made a splash that one year. Good for him on capitalizing on that but will he be HOF caliber going forward? Probably not. Retrospectively there is something to be said if Allen (and Al Harris) are the ones to get credit for that Pro Bowl performance. Good for us.

Again..who?

Positives are what you listed, that he may replace both Wright and Owens and that he will work with Al Harris. Negatives are that he doesn’t ’fit the mold that Harris and Allen like’ and that he’s not been selected to a Pro Bowl (like Wright was)….for whatever that’s worth.

Who?

Case Keenum resigned. 2 yr $5.5 million. Evidently now Bagent is more expendable.

To the Ravens. For two firsts.

Another thing to consider about Bradbury is he’s already got a hatred built in for GB (having been with Minny for a while) and he’s got a few receptions and RAC yards.

I was curious about this when I first heard about the trade and yup sure enough. They were college buds when they played together at NC State in 2015. Bradbury was originally selected by Minnesota in the first round of the 2019 draft.

Unfortunate to see him go. We all pretty much saw the writing on the wall with Burden on the team. He’s going to a great situation with Allen as QB. Best of luck to you DJ and thank you for your contributions getting us through some tough times.
