So to recap, we now have no depth on the D-line, or ILB and the secondary is a disgrace in a passing league. I’m glad they value defense so highly. I guess they believe offense win championships, to bad it’s the other way around.
Need a NT now.
Is it just me or were the offers to Beacham and Okung a little insulting? 4M/year barely puts them among the top 25 LT in salary and I think both could make a strong case for being among the top 25 LTs.
Beachum is coming off a torn ACL, and Okung had his share of question marks. Don’t blame them that much.
And they couldn’t afford more – that’s the advantage of being a good team – here’s what we can afford – if you want to win, we can pay you this – if not, we’ll find someone else. Cleveland offering that much would be insulting – especially on the back end of losing the FAs that they lost. Here – it’s just a financial reality.
Harris isn’t that good. Last year was probably his best. Not sure how good I feel about Adams, Harris and Villanueva battling it out for LT. I hope they keep after Okung.
Depth tackle, you mean probably starting
Villanueva still gets the nod here unless Munchak’s coaching makes Harris a lot better than he was last year.
Sam is lurking with the downvotes
Well, this deal doesn’t exactly end the pursuit of Okung or Beachum, but how about some options to improve the god awful secondary? I get letting Blake walk, but they could probably bring in players to help too.
No but Beacham signing with Jacksonville sure puts a dent in it.
