Yes but that’s what “they” did with Sam. The new boss is not the same as the old boss. Lol.

I have read this on multiple sites just now as well. Not that they said he would exclusively play at the 2nd level, just that he's much more impapctful in it. I guess he'll be spending time in both areas of the field or maybe not. With the additions Peter's & Co are bringing in and the creativity on D that now exists in the building? .... the possibilities are vast.

Wagner played very well last year even at his age and I'm pumped they signed him. I dk t expect a huge fall off in production and beyond that, I read and found this key, he could have hung around and waited for an instant SB contender to make an offer... he chose Quinn and Washington without thinking twice. This is a great influence and immediate respect grab for Quinn and this staff.

I'm feelin it. Not like we used to feel it by giving crazy stupid contracts to aging or shiny players that wouldn't make sense nor pan out here. No. It's smart, quick hitting deals for solid players that will certainly have a defined role on this team. So far I'm impressed and thankful the staff and peters have approached the market without any reserve or ego regarding the shape this roster was left in. This isn't the free agency winning of old, these are sincere attempts at building culture and changing this team with the future in mind. A lot of these players and the contract lengths will take part in molding draft picks in addition to contributing over the next few years. Like I said, hook the fire hose up to the hydrant full of kool-aid and aim it right here in camden County, NJ.

I'm in.

DE Dorance Armstrong
LB Frankie Luvu
C Tyler Biadasz
RB Austin Ekeler
G Nick Allegretti
EDGE Clelin Ferrell - this is who you were either forgetting or not starting
S Jeremy Chinn
K Brandon McManus
LS Tyler Ott

Wasn’t counting Ertz. Wagner might not have been signed when i posted that. He is 10.

Yeah, I consider Clelin a depth signing (same with Fowler). Hope he isn't a starting DE but things happen.

i get it maybe the New regime will do the right thing with the QB not sure how excited i am with MM even as backup . I would NOT take anything less than a 3rd rnd pick for Sam i just got a hunch that in the correct system and supporting cast he is going to be successful.. if a trade or pick actually helps us then by all means do it but in a total meltdown scenario last year at times he played well . Draft the Rook at #2 let Sam be backup and MM can be whatever (he can't start ) IF The Rook works out then great but i would wait and see before letting Sam walk for very little ..

I need to see one name added to the depth chart, Apke.

Call Apke

Ouch looking at that we still have to fill 6 starting positions or have positions filled by players that should be back-ups. Almost a third of the starting team. Still need both tackle positions, QB (Draft - BTW no way Mariota is ahead of Howell), a WR, a DE and a CB.

Ron really screwed over this team.

I expect them to draft well and many of the picks will make the team adding a lot more depth.

I am concerned about the pass rush from the DL. The "pass rushers" they acquired really are not top rushers and it's hard to have a great defense without that. But this is just the first few months, I have a pretty good feeling that they will find those players over time. For now I agree they are trying to put a decent team around their young QB so he won't be in a Carolina situation.

I think the coverage concern is more about WRs than covering a TE. Different speed and technique involved for those.

Some of these signings have been solid, some are real head scratchers and this is one of them.

He led the league in tackles last season. Still has something in the tank.

I kinda like Tyler Boyd as a security blanket type for the new qb. Only if he's cheap though.

I really don't get the Crowder signing.

I think he has to win the 5/6 receiver position or will get cut out of camp. Doubt there is much/any gauranteed money there
