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.

We were never in on Tyler, at the Combine, I believe they knew what kind of money the top 3 were asking for that forced the trade for Bradbury. Smart move by Poles. It allowed us to fill other spots.

Billings played NT, he's getting his snaps. For now depending on who they draft Jarrett is 3 t but where does Dexter go? The high rated DTs are all NTs, McDonald, Banks. Did I get that right?

I know this is minimal but before Braxton broke his leg, he had 3 games in a row as the top rated LT in pass blocking. That was a long time ago but I trust BJ and Poles to know.

Agree it looks like that. If Brisker doesn't get any offers, you think they bring him back for cheap one year deal?

This tells me they expect Ozzy back. They tried Braxton's bonus to game starts. It's a win win. Cheap option, Decker will be getting a big payday by what other players are getting. Braxton gets to play for a big payday next year. OL Coach literally told us this in an interview.

He will get Billings snaps. They will draft a DT to put Jarrett as the rotational player.

We didn't get the comp pick. The list is out.

I just saw where Bush Cap hit will only be 1.5 mil this year, if that pundits post is correct.

For the 27 mil a year, we got Bush, Bryant, Galimore and Bradbury. Like you said we just didn't have the cap space to compete for Tyler.

I saw that. Also saw where Bryant first year cap hit is 6 mil and 4 mil for the DT. Never saw the Bush cost yet.

We were never in the running for the top C with the contracts they signed. 27 mil, 13 mil and 11 mil. Which makes it sound like a great deal at 5.7 for a starting center. It left us more money for the LB and S.

Like you said, they have upgraded the NT spot over Billings. Spent decent money on a good LB and Bryant was their big contract. This is making a better picture for where we might be drafting in the early rounds. DE and LT appears to be on the table. A 3 tech DT and S will be high. With Bush I think LB falls down the draft order. If RB is BPA, you think we may add there?

I didn't know much about Bush but he has speed to burn. 10 mil sounds like a good deal for his stats.

I'm impressed they spent some money on a speedy S over Byard. I would say the contract is first year friendly for this year.

Demarco Jackson has been resigned. 7.5 mil with incentives up to 10.5 mil. 2 years. I assume they bring in a rookie to compete. May not be a top pick.

Not sure they are going to use pick 60 on a situational player that may never be more than that. Great off the ball but the draft profiles said he can't get off blocks. Booker is 6' 5 " and close to 260 lbs now . Romello don't have the frame to add weight, 250 would probably be the best he can do.. He will be 25 by training camp and has 32 1/4 " arms. Booker has 33 3/4 arms. Booker was projected as a situational player that may never be full time. Not sure they want 2 of those. He could be outstanding but more as a 3-4 fit. Most project to early 2nd round .

Other than signing our own free agents, I don't see a lot of movement until the second wave kicks in. That's going to make some fans unhappy.

Poles said he wasn't going to make a big splash in free agency. That was just rumors by pundits about Maxx. After last year with the big spending in free agency, they just don't have the money anymore. They will open up money to do what they need to in restructures. They will sign 2nd tier players. Bradbury is an example of screwd cap moves.
