“Former #Vikings DE Jerry Tillery is signing with the #Chiefs on a 1-year deal, source said. Former first-rounder.”

I can't complain too damned much given that what Spags does works. It just seems he makes it unnecessarily difficult on himself to have his D generate consistent pressure.

I'm not a fan at all of the style or individual players. Always seems like we give up more yards and points than we should considering the circumstances.

That said, in the moments we have to have a stop, we get it. His strategy is sound. It works. He wins. Spags ****s with QB's and OC's and wins.

Do yer' thing Spags.

He's still in the league? Seems like he was drafted a decade ago

We can name him grandpa Tillery or just gramps for short.

Have we seen a dollar amount on this yet? Assuming he's cheap, I am fine with this. Average ish player to eat up some snaps for cheap is fine by me.

I still hope the long term answers on the Dline come in the draft.

He's only 28...I must be thinking of someone else that played for the Chargers.

Honestly this may be a sign Omenihu isn’t coming back. And based upon his tweets he thinks he deserves big money.

I smell a trade back now.

Huh? The deepest DT/DE draft in forever and you want to trade back to take a WR?

Our only hope of resigning him was the market telling him you are not worth that number.

He’s delusional. Put a full season together first dude.

That said I would love to have his motivated ass on this roster and I suspect he will come crawling back soon. If we don’t bring him back, hopefully that’s a sign they think FAU is ready for a big role. Otherwise, we need him or an early draft pick.

Absolutely this, and also wildly overrated. I'd have him back fairly cheap because we badly need the DL reinforced. But if he wants a lot, sorry, you've not earned it. With or without him, we need an early DE draft pick.

Yeah, I get the reasoning, I just don't think it actually does allow Spags to be as crafty as he thinks. Fine, switch the DE and DT etc, but really all the opposition has to do is ask themselves "where is Jones?" and they're good.

But yeah, can't complain given how it all ends up.

Deep means you don't need to take one at 31

Well, the dl likes to bat down passes.

That tall f in the middle should help.

jdubya · 03-15-2025, 01:23 PM

Raiders picked him up off waivers and then released him a year or two later.

Yep. Plus them long arms to swat them down. All about attitude and effort with the guy. Joe Cullen gets career years out of some of these underachievers. Spags and Joe might get a good year out of him if anyone can but it’s up to him to put it all together.
