Re: Potential Salary Cap Cuts

Sheldon Rankins is an interesting name... was drafted to play DT by the Saints into Dennis Allen's defense

Braden Smith is another name, I'd consider him at RG

Jonathan Allen could be interesting as well at DT

There are a handful of speedy FA's that would fill that #3 role if Scott can't do anything.

I actually think Campbell is one of the very few, legit OT's in this draft, and probably the only true LT of the bunch.
Josh Simmons, if healthy, is OT1 in my book.

Re: Ian Cunningham 2nd interview w/ TEN



Sadly I don't think he gets the job
Take this for what it’s worth but I’ve heard some scuttlebutt that said the Jax GM might not have final roster control and Cunningham isn’t comfortable with that.

Again, this is prolly BS … but an interesting angle.

Re: Running Backs - where do we go



IMO the question of "where do we draft a RB" comes down to how much we do in Free Agency at the LOS. We need 3 IOL starters and we need upgrades at DT and DE. So 5 bigtime needs at the LOS, how many do we address in FA will dictate how many of those first 3 picks need to go to that area. I'm ...

I think he's pretty good, it seems like he helps keep Ryan Poles calm (I recall Poles wanting to trade up for Odunze and Cunningham basically forcing him to 'chill out').

I expect him to be gone after this season as well. I do believe RB is a greater 'need' than many of us realize -- question becomes if it is addressed in FA or the draft (I'm betting the latter).


With the amount they're paying Swift the draft certainly seems the most likely route. I can't ...
