We need a CB, S, WR, looooooooong before we need a guard.

Trading picks away and then giving up critical cap space when we need it all to resign a playmaking, pass-rushing LB and a QB that we have up 2 2nd round picks for...in exchange for an interior lineman?

Again, he solidifies the line today and you can shift him out to tackle and he might do better than the guys there now (he was really good when replacing Staley). OL is the most important part of the offense imo.

And we can't do 4-5 million. Not until we figure out a way to work through some of the other bloated contracts on the team.

Plus, you have no clue about that 4-5 million number. You said that the guy is one of the best at his position in the league and that he's holding out until he gets a real contract. Why wouldn't he ask for Levitre money? It makes no sense for him to demand his money right now and then miss out on and extra 1-2 million per year, when he can just work through the last year of his shit contract and get paid the top contract for a guard in the NFL.

I don't see how the 9ers fix this. If they back down then everyone knows their hard core stance is bs.

If he's not going to be a 9er, I'd like to see him here.

You're right, I don't know for sure. I am guessing, which is all anyone can do at this point. It is certainly worth looking at IMO.

Chase Daniel, Sean Smith, and Ryan Succop come to mind.

If the chiefs don't straighten out the line, it won't matter what you have for Alex to throw to. And you'll need more CBs and safeties too because they'll be winded from all the play time.

The Oline will be fine if Eric Fisher improves a little. He got a little high and was pushed back on that Alex Smith fumble, but that was also Smith's fault a little too. Doesn't matter...he needs improvement and certainly isn't living up to #1 overall. Even though it's prob never going to happen, he needs to start playing like Orlando Pace.

But we need someone to be able to play CB well. Here's to hoping Sean Smith plays like a pro bowler.

If the Chiefs were to give up picks AND break the bank for Boone, then wouldn't it have been smarter to just pay Geoff Schwartz?

Add to that Fasano and Avery.

We're all but certain to drop Hali. We might also be parting with DeVito.

Dustin Colquitt is also a consideration, though he's far more likely in 2016 when his cap number will greatly outweigh his dead money.

Well sure. I was pissed we didn't keep him.

Schwartz looked pretty bad in his Giants debut.

Just sign Incognito. Maybe he can toughen up the pussy Eric Fisher

Bufkin 08-09-2014 03:17 PM

As I said in another thread, I think losing Asamoah was a mistake. Atlanta paid him 4.5 million a year over 5 years. For an efficient guard who just turned 26, that's pocket change.

Titty Meat 08-09-2014 03:25 PM

Whos the guy here who wouldn't shutup about Jacob Bell?
