Really,seriously, you are advocating for Akeem Spence?? When you have a player on your roster who obviously doesn't even belong in NFL football, you have to move on. Not even Grier is too stupid to not replace him on the 53.
Travis Swanson played well for us at the league minimum. Granted, Brendel may be the guy, and the future at center, but Swanson looked like quality depth last year for us.
Travis Swanson was ranked 20th by PFF last year. He is younger and cheaper than Kilgore and he can play guard as well. He is obviously a better choice for veteran depth going forward.
Kiko Alonso is not a tackling machine. That is delusional.
Kiko was ranked 82nd in the league last year by PFF. Just 10 other guys with qualifying snaps that were worse.
Among veteran starters who played more than 650 snaps, only the chiefs Anthony Hitchens was worse.
Kiko is rock bottom BAAAAd!! He has no business getting starter money on any roster.
Hull and Caroo are not in the same class as Brendel. They will never be starters and are very lucky if they make a 53 anywhere next year.
Brendel looked awful good at times last year at both center and guard. Brendel has off the charts elite athleticism as well, it has always been a strength battle for him.
If Brendel can stay healthy and get stronger, he could be a top ten guy for us going forward.
As far as my free agent wish list......that is in process and will be posted soon.
Ahh I forgot you like to use PFF as your end all be all source.
Kiko was put in coverage much more than he should of been for 2 straight years in Burke’s defens and got exposed.
However he was tied for 7th in tackles, had 3 INTs and 3 Forced Fumbles, which placed him tied for 2nd and 7th respectively. To call him rock bottom bad is typical PFF trash spew.
And good luck if you think you are finding capable starters in FA at the salaries Carroo and Hull are making. This is about depth and every team needs that. Both would be solid tenders.
Swanson is a UFA . . .and if teams value PFF as much as you do, the league minimum argument won’t happen. Its not a forgone conclusion you get him that cheap or that he wants back in Miami.
Brendal you may need to tender at the 2nd round level or extend, but again there is a reason why the Exclusive Rights free agents get done early and the RFAs take longer. Carroo and Hull are easy OG tenders.
I never doubted you blessing us with you fairyta . . .I mean free agent wish list and draft picks. The over/under on the amount of picks we have is set to 15 on your list. Im betting the over.
