I'd agree. Mariota isn't signing as a starter somewhere. He's going in as a back-up, maybe Chicago or Seattle or? In the right place he could be this year's Tannehill. Perhaps in Chicago?

I think Chicago and Mariota seems like a fit

There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

And a LB, and a TE, and played special teams. I'm not quite sure what to make of him.

I watched his video too. I don't know if he's an NFL FB, but his designation for the Combine should have been "football player". (Or, as John Dorsey would say "He's a foot-baw player, buddyboy.".)

Very odd.Everyone is saying KS has not decided what type of scheme he is going to run,but the very first signing is a fullback. Doesn't make sense.
Indecision may,or maynot,be my problem

Not implying it was you. I don't keep track of who said what,when. I believe the wording was "KS is still working thru things"

Very odd.Everyone is saying KS has not decided what type of scheme he is going to run,but the very first signing is a fullback. Doesn't make sense. I think he has some broad ideas and an outline of basically what he has in mind. How we block it up front might still be a bit up in the air. I think Stefanski, Callahan, and Berry are going to be spending a lot of time together figuring out what the guys already here and the OL in the draft are good at, and trying to adjust for that. Stefanski talked about being "multiple". That could mean a lot of things. You can use a FB with zone blocked runs or man/power runs. He was in Minnesota for both kinds of offenses. They ran all kinds of iso with Adrian Peterson before going more zone recently.

Passing the proverbial torch to Baker again?
You are likely correct. Didn't think of that initially.

Been hearing rumors over the past week of him going to Tampa Bay to finish out his career with Arians. This article at least makes it sound plausible: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/tampa...e-agency-looms/

Greg Olsen, Panthers mutually agree to part ways Print By Grant Gordon NFL.com Longtime tight end standout Greg Olsen and the Panthers have agreed to mutually part ways, the team announced Thursday. The team's statement came with a lengthy statement from Olsen, as well. Olsen, who was under contract with the team through 2020, stated he still has "love of football" and did not announce future plans. The 34-year-old three-time Pro Bowler played his ninth season for the Panthers in 2019 following four years to begin his career with the Bears. Not until after the Super Bowl can the Panthers officially release Olsen, but the announcement signals that formality is forthcoming, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. Olsen's contract would have cost $11.6 million against the Panthers cap in 2020. Olsen's departure is the latest monumental change for Carolina, which dismissed longtime coach Ron Rivera during the season and replaced him with Matt Rhule. All-Pro linebacker Luke Kuechly surprisingly announced his retirement this offseason and quarterback Cam Newton, the face of the franchise, is entering the final season of his current contract with his future in doubt. Though the monumental Newton decision -- as to whether he'll stay with Carolina or move on -- remains, Olsen's departure looks to lean toward a significant rebuild for the franchise and would also seem to lean to Newton donning another uniform for the first time in 2020. While the Panthers move on, Olsen's future remains unclear. Having received stellar reviews for past commentating spots, Olsen would have many suitors in the broadcasting world , but is also said to be interested in playing next season if the right opportunity is there, Rapoport reported. Through the Panthers' greatest seasons, Olsen was a standard of spectacular consistency, seemingly always finding open space and Newton seemingly always finding him. The tight end's three Pro Bowls came consecutively from 2014-2016 with Olsen tallying 1,000-plus yards receiving in each of those three campaigns. Since then, Olsen has been riddled by injuries over his previous three campaigns. For his career, Olsen has 718 catches for 8,444 yards and 59 touchdowns -- 524 of those catches, 6,463 of those yards and 39 of those touchdowns came as a Panther. A first-round draft pick out of Miami in 2007 with the Bears, Olsen looked outstanding at times, but misused for the majority of his days in Chicago. Then he joined the Panthers and the best of times commenced, marked by Carolina's sterling 15-1 2015 season that concluded with a 2015 Super Bowl berth as Olsen became one of the NFL's premier tight ends. On Thursday, the Panthers and Olsen announced they're parting ways, Carolina moving further into rebuild mode and the franchise's greatest tight end carrying on into the great unknown for now. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001...ee-to-part-ways

Olsen would be a nice fit for Baker as a safety valve .. though I doubt he would consider here. He’ll end up in New Orleans, Green Bay, or a contender

Olsen to the Patriots would be my guess. If he plays. If not he's probably picked up by one of the networks that doesn't get Tony Romo for a commentator gig.

He’ll end up in New Orleans, Green Bay, or a contender Olsen is who I think of when I envision best case scenario for our next TE. But actually getting him isn't the answer, unfortunately. IIRC, he's been pretty banged up the past couple years.

He'll probably go to the Giants for a year and then replace Freddie as TE coach. I'm fairly confident he's not getting another commentator job.

I think Chicago and Mariota seems like a fit I'm starting to think Mariota could end up with the Chargers. Could be a bridge starter before they turn things over to Tua or Herbert, or simply a solid backup for them. Or the starter if they go a different direction in the draft. They've had Tyrod there for a bit, so I think transitioning to a more mobile QB and a run-centric misdirection based offense is something they've been contemplating for a while.
