Waddle re-signed, two years: answer at swing tackle?

stinkypete · Mar 9, 2016

Waddle was a very solid RT for the Lions in 2013. You're not going to find too many better swing tackles on this market, unless you want to take a flyer on Will Beatty having something left in the tank.

Given the state of the OL in 2015, Cannon isn't going anywhere until cut time.

I suppose the cut could happen earlier if someone else is signed, Fleming steps up in pre-season, or if the draftee to push Cannon out.

There is no reason to rush, other than to please fans.

There's another reason: to clear cap space in order to sign somebody who's actually good.

I really don't want to see Cannon wearing a pats uniform next season.

Not if Cannon has damaging pictures of Brady and BB kinda like Jake Beckett.

Same here. Especially considering what cutting him before June 2 would save the Pats against the cap.

@captain stone, what in my post do you disagree with? This being a younger improvement over Cannon (which it is) or do you think they need to draft an OT still?

I think they need to draft an OT early......waddle is a decent backup, but that's about it and Vollmer is in decline

The pragmatist in me likes this signing as a good depth move.

The dyslexic in me hates this signing because I keep reading the thread title as "Weddle" and getting excited.

Every. Damn. Time.

Young OTs with staying experience are hard to find so this move is a big deal to me. Scar will do his thing on him. Obviously a younger improvement on Cannon, and minimizes the need to draft an OT too.

Re-signing TheAdrian Waddle does nothing whatsoever to minimize the urgent need t0 draft an OT,
especially a LT.
Is he a younger (and cheaper) improvement on Cannonfodder? Probably, but that's still not saying much.
