I am only going by praise of GMs that say they are a well run organization. I don't know all the details on transactions but realize they draft well. My point is when you obtain players with past injury issues it's a big risk when you pay so much for it. You may be right but it's only speculation on value. I have read many stories about the top edge players in the league doesn't have even one SB win between them. Parsons, Hendrickson, Crosby, Garrett don't. I think the thought you have to have a top pass rusher to win a SB is overrated. Seattle, Philly, KC had good pass rushing teams but no top dog. Cris Jones has only had over 10.5 sacks twice in his career. Sweat is in that ball park for sacks.

Baltimore is always looked at as a well run team and think his health has to come into play to look this dumb in front of NFL teams. I guess you don't sign papers until today so nothing is guaranteed yet. Yes no one is going to pass a physical coming out of surgery but it's a red flag when it's his 8th knee surgery. Now if it comes down to one first and whatever then maybe Poles will be interested. We just don't know the medical, with a big contract, you don't want to take that big of a risk. That may be a trade that's made right before the draft so they know his health will be good going forward. Parsons was coming off of back problems when he got traded which never go away. ( personal experience) And he ended up getting injured during the year. I think GB may end up regretting that trade.

I would say we have only signed 2 starters so far unless you consider Jackson a starter as the third LB. Bush and Bryant. What I'm saying is I think that's where they will end up. Turner was seeing DE snaps before the injury and Dayo plays more effectively inside as stated by some pundits. I think both will be looked at movable players.

I suspect it goes down but highly doubt we want a edge that can't pass a physical. They will just keep him.

I think the CB room is pretty full with Cam Lewis coming in board. The forgotten Terrell Smith will be back and a healthy Gordon and JJ. They had the chance to resign Wright and decided not to so they must like Lewis.

BJ likes him and he had 43 receptions one year under Ben. Free agents have a tendency to be paid more each year. Lots of contracts say that. With Walker and Raymond the WR room is almost done. I expect a draft pick added.

We need bodies so these signings are popping up that may not make the final roster. Lewis was signed for 2 years and will take the Gardner- Johnson role of playing several positions.

Not very productive but has some speed which DA likes. Some of these depth pieces may not make the final roster.

Greg Gabriel said he took a lot of snaps at NB. I think he replaces Gardner- Johnson on the roster. Can play several positions.

This year we are seeing DA have more input in to the decision making for the defense. He likes more speed and it will be interesting to see what we ad in the draft.

I'm sure there were some better choices at LT but finding one at 5 mil seemed like an impossible task. It's going to be a temporary solution. They know what to expect from Ozzy as far as progress after the injury and we don't.

Raymond fills both spots as a 5th WR and KR. Basically what we paid for both Duvernay and Zaccheaus last year. The problem with free agency is the price of players is always going up.

For a cheap add joe Tryon has some game. I suspect with all the money thrown around they address the DL spots in the draft. Turner and Dayo will be back and as much as they didn't contribute last year, they will count them in the mix. Dayo at 3T and Turner at DE

As I look at this list, none of the pundits predicted any of our signing except Braxton coming back. So much for inside information.

I keep hearing Dayo is working towards being back at training camp. For better or for worse, he's one of the DL positional players. Haven't heard anything about Turner but both could be figured in their plans.
