Yes it does. He's not going to be easy to replace. But there was no we we could match that money with all the work we need to do on the OL.

What does how much money you have suddenly make a difference?

I would’ve liked him back. However, we could’ve matched it and still worked on the OL.

Either Bush was ready to move on or the FO have a different vision.

The FO saw him play really well last season setting himself up for a contract year. Before that his play was okay and injuries. It's not a big loss at all. It's what players do. Ball out the season you're expecting a team to sign you for the money.

So we are paying $18 mill more over the next 3 years for a player who hasn't been near as good as Seumalo. shakes head

Dowdle makes a lot of sense as a Steeler. He was consistently surprising last year. To nobody more than Jerry Jones.

Btw, great work today, Memphis Schefter over here breaking the player movement by the minute on Dawgtalkers.

I’m waiting for your future posts to say: My sources are telling me….

Cheers to that, Memphis!! I love being able to hit refresh in here instead of on X where you get 25 of basically the same tweet going out in a 60 second period. *Love the last line, lol.

Good thing I am working from home yesterday and today!

As a hobby, I've curated a twitter account to aggregate/repost those tweets into one account. Its function is mainly how acquisitions correlate to fantasy football and I give my quick takes on it, but it is for general information in the world of the NFL. It's a lot of fun!

I think this also spells the end of Bitonio. If they already had signed a guard, were in the mix for Vera-Tucker, and are allegedly going to be aggressive today-- that seems somewhat cut and dry.

I could see them going after Elgton Jenkins today as well. It sure looks like the Browns are still setting themselves up to be a major player on the O-line in the draft. They are drafting useable players, but the contracts they are getting seem to be loaded contracts that they can get out of, when say a draft pick matures and emerges as a starter.

Monken came right out and said he doesn't oppose a rookie starting on the offensive line, but definitely not 5 of them. I think he would rather that number be closer to 1. I think we could still see a veteran center and LT signed in free agency, even if they aren't blockbuster players. Guys that can help not get the QB killed, but probably aren't skilled in both pass protection AND run blocking.

It will be interesting to see what they come up with the rest of the week. I think it will give us a little bit of an idea where they are leaning in the draft.
