D'ernests highlights are pretty impressive. Much better IMO compared to Scott of MSU.

Of course the Raiders would.

lol i coulda guessed

There are too many head cases on the Raiders and it's only a matter of time before it comes back to bite them.

Making room for McCoy?

Making room for recently released Anthony Davis of 49ers (dorsey just wants a looksie).

Davis could be a possibility ..w as he released due to poor play or poor contract?

Man, he hasn't even been reinstated yet, IIRC. He hasn't played in an NFL game since what .... 2014? Who knows? I guess it's possible ..... but he's got to be a real longshot, despite his talent.

Eh. You just replaced one long shot with another long shot. That's what teams do this time of the year. Churn the bottom of the roster over trying to find jewels that have been overlooked.

So, we missed out on McCoy. Do we look at remaining free agent DT's? I think Corey Luiget and Mohammed Wilkerson are still available.

We gotta get.... (you know the rest)

Trent Williams would be nice but I bet he would want a new contract. A new contract for him would not be cheap (he is one of the best left tackles in the league). While we have money to spend, we don't have $16 million per year over the next three years type of money.

Hmmm....Trent Williams or Greg Robinson at LT?

Unless we're not breaking the bank, stick with Robinson.
With the weapons Mayfield has at his disposal, Robinson won't typically have to block for long.

Hmm, could be a guy to replace Hunt until he returns? Is he good on STs?

It seems like we had some offensive linemen working out:



I am for as many Pacific Islanders as possible.

Kouandjio was someone highly touted going to college

No, his brother was.

At least they are getting an opportunity. Not a lot of guys do.

thanks Dep

Redskins surprisingly cut 2018 leading tackler Mason Foster right before camp
Yahoo Sports Frank Schwab,Yahoo Sports

Teams generally don’t wait until July 23 to cut a possible starting inside linebacker.

But the Washington Redskins did it on Tuesday, releasing Mason Foster in a surprising move, according to multiple reports. Foster wasn’t guaranteed to start again, but Washington is thin at the position after Reuben Foster’s season-ending knee injury, and Mason Foster did start all 16 games last season.

The timing was unusual. Most teams wouldn’t wait until the eve of training camp to make a decision like that.

Mason Foster was a full-time player
Foster was productive in 2018. He played 1,014 snaps, playing every single defensive snap in 13 of Washington’s 16 games. He played 98.2 percent of Washington’s snaps, racking up 131 tackles and two interceptions.

Foster wasn’t guaranteed to start this season, however. The team has Jon Bostic and Shaun Dion Hamilton at inside linebacker. Foster has experience and isn’t a liability, and Reuben Foster’s injury seemed to ensure they’d keep him around for depth.

But with camp about to start, the Redskins moved on.

Redskins save $4 million on salary cap
The Redskins save $4 million in salary-cap space by cutting Foster, though it’s hard to figure out what they’d spend those savings on. Perhaps it could be used to end a standoff with veteran left tackle Trent Williams, who is holding out.

It’s a tough spot for Foster to be in. He’s 30 and teams have made most of their main roster decisions well before camps start. Washington did him no favors by making a move it could have made months ago.

Players will come and go over the next few weeks as camps and preseason get going. It was a surprise, however, what the Redskins did Tuesday.

Well, he’s horrendous against the pass and called out the team on social media .. this isn’t a huge surprise. But I expect him to be signed somewhere ... he’s a good 2 down LB

He Ain't a 2 Down anything if he played 98% of the snaps and all of the snaps through 13 games.

He had 131 tackles in a linebacker role, which probably means he stops the Run.

Run Stopping Linebacker???

A key weakness of the Browns in the lead up to trying to win the division in 2019.


And Served up on a silver platter, 1 day before Camp.

WE GOTTA GET THIS GUY!

Well, let’s say that he SHOULD be a 2 down LB based on his evaluations and their struggles last season

IF KJ feels we need help with the DL rotation ... here it is ...

MIKE DANIELS
DL, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT

Packers released DL Mike Daniels.

This is a stunning move as teams open training camp. Daniels turned 30 this offseason and was coming off a 2018 that saw him miss the final six games with a foot injury. But there had been no word he was in danger of losing his job. There was a report the Packers planned to scale back Daniels' snaps due to a better supporting cast, but he made the Pro Bowl in 2017 and was a major piece of this defense. The move saves Green Bay over $8.3 million in cap space, which was the likely driving force here. Daniels (6'/310) should have no problem finding a new team provided he's healthy.

U think we need help with the DL rotation? ..

I’m ASSuming he’s a DT ... anyone know? ...

Interior linemen. The Packers played a lot of three man fronts.

Ty sir ...
