This was a good signing right here. We should have done it a long time ago. I can't believe the dude was available for us.

He's not the best player in the world but he instantly becomes our best DT in my opinion, and he's only 26.

I see this move as similar to when we picked up Bowman part way through last season. Solid.

Why are we paying M Bryant the same amount we did before? They said no other team wanted him & Raiders could have signed him for league minimum. Thats our GM! Always thinking. Fuckin pathetic. Hankins is way better than Ellis. Let Ellis stay on IR he’s a piece of shit

Should help us stop the run.

There's never a silver bullet. You have to change things here and there and see how it goes.

Mack was never a silver bullet for us either, obviously.

I remember you going to bat for him in another thread during the offseason. I wanted him badly in the draft coming out.
I'll be the 1st to admit, I haven't tracked what he's done in the league since. My main concern is what shape I'd he in?
Why has he bounced around so much? I get it....who the hell else was out there, but I'm hoping for the best.
If any of you play draft kings, go ahead and start Royce Freeman lol!

He’s a 2nd round pick, funny thing is he had probably his best season last year. Started 15 games, batted down 3 passes, 2 sacks and a bunch of tackles.

Year before that, 16 starts, 3 sacks, bunch of tackles, 1 forced fumble.

He had been a solid 2nd rounder.

Don't matter. Carr blows and Gruden is rebuilding. 4 to 7 win team now.
