[quote=MTK;1247057]Sign Ebron and draft a TE and I'd be ok with that.[/quote]

That works for me. Ebron is underrated, IMO. Also, there are several TE's in the draft that I like a lot.

Re: NFL Free Agent Signings 2020
 

I strongly oppose Ebron.

I posted a lengthy detailed post citing to article and quotes to support the labels that he doesnt block, doesnt try to block, doesnt want to block, will "speak his mind" when hes not getting the ball and made a business decision last year to shut down his season half way through so he could be healthy for this offseason FA. I am brushing off the rookie problems of not working or studying or showing interest in learning as something he has moved past (I hope, Im just guessing).

Lions didnt want him. Colts dont want him. We wont want him in 2 years if he signs with us.

Thankfully, he shouldnt because he seems to be the antithesis of a RR guy.

-----------------
It’s as if Ebron decided this season was a lost cause anyway, so time to get surgery and heal up to be ready for 2020. He’s not the first player to make what is known as a business decision, which make no mistake, is the real reason for why he limped away now.

He’s about to become a free agent, so getting healthy is essential to getting paid soon. But Ballard should be smart enough to not re-sign Ebron after he put himself before the team.

It’s not the first time the tight end has done that, either. Remember just a couple of weeks ago, Ebron went public with his grievance that he wanted to be more a part of the offense. Nothing was said at the time about injury. He sounded like a Pro Bowl tight end who didn’t think he was being used effectively enough.

I do not want an over paid one dimensional TE who cant play 3 downs and disguise our packages because he cant and wont block.

Fuck TEs who cant block. Double fuck TEs who dont even want to try. The days of Jordan Reeds being in fashion are over in the NFL. You need a 3 down guy so your play calling is not predictable. When we rolled Reed out there on an end = pass. When he put Sprinkle or someone in = run. Cant have that.

I dont need TEs who can burn slot CBs/LBs in the seam for 30 yards. I need a guy that can block, find the soft spots and move the chains.

Turner's offense, much like his dad's, thrives off the TE who run up the seam for 30 yards.

I understand why SunnySide feels the way he does about Ebron. I'm not planning to honor him as Man of the Year. Nevertheless, he is a very good fit for Turner's offense, as Chico pointed out.

My hope would be to sign Ebron to a reasonable, shorter term deal (if that is even possible in this crazy FA market), draft a TE prospect, and continue to develop Sprinkle. The only other way to improve the position short term would be via trade. I just don't like any of the other TE FA's who are out there.

Don't even think about it, Okie. Please don't bring that circus to this town.

Ha is Matt Rhule a Haskins guy?

No I do not want Cam, the only QB I want besides Haskins is well documented here

Re: NFL Free Agent Signings 2020
 

I don't want Ebron. There is no way RR will want a guy like that. I'm sure we have a plan to address TE.

Sprinkle can not be developed.

I think it is more like the Panthers wanted him out, looks like they are going to sign Bridgewater to a $20 mil a year deal.

Brady to sign with Tampa tomorrow [url]https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2020-03-17-tom-brady-will-reportedly-sign-with-tampa-bay-buccaneers/[/url]

Re: NFL Free Agent Signings 2020
 

The Bucs to me would be the obvious choice. Warm weather, good offensive coach. You have 2 really good wr's and 2 really good TE's, weak defenses in that division. Look at the numbers Winston put up. Brady can go in there and do some damage if they can protect him.
