Pre-Free Agency 2023

[mgteich]

Our LBs aren't terrible, Bentley actually played very well.. I know we have some fast LBs with McMillan and mack Wilson..

But we need that one guy at LB OCs have to game plan for.. guess it's back to groh we go in the draft for one or two..

Aren't both Wilson and McMillan UFA's?

I believe they are under contract... I think for another season... I like them in thier roles as rotation players.. they definitely have speed especially McMillan..

Yes, and Wilson also didn’t play on defense the last 5 games. He seems like a fairly obvious departure.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Don't understand the rush to rid themselves of him... Hope his 2023 is better than his 2022 was.

If they decided to move on, it is cosiderate to let him go so he can hook up with another team before rosters fill up. They are being nice to the player.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

I like that guy.

He is a LT, does he have a few more years as a RT at a lower price?

McMillan seems like an obvious keeper. Played well enough in his role but wasn’t such a standout that another team is going to overpay him. Hopefully he sticks around for a $2-3M a year. I’m interested to see if Cunningham joins once his elbow improves a bit.

He said on a previous podcast that if he does play, it will only be at left tackle.

Off-season OL Gameplan:

Cut Trent Brown
Sign Kelvin Beachum for RT
Draft LT Paris Johnson at 14 if he’s available
Try to sign Onwenu to extension
Let an actual OL Coach coach up Strange
Maybe draft Andrews eventual replacement in mid rounds…Michigan guy

Agreed. Need two OTs in the draft, not one, plus replacement center unless they really like Russey. If Russey is the future, draft another guard like 4th round. Need to add OL this draft.

 

[Scotty]

Agree with your comments above but we do also have Russey / Hines / Steuber (admittedly they did not do much last season for various reasons) ....I assume these guys would still be around until camp etc and see who is then worth keeping

 

[Patsgofor4]

I still have hope that Hines will develop into a starting caliber OG by year 3. The dude is a bull. He needs to be able to stay healthy, though.

im getting to be tired of the young / developmental players always being hurt/injured... seems like this has been the status quo for years now... its frustrating when guys lose entire seasons to seemingly nothing

I like all of this but wonder if Brown can't be salvaged by a real OL coach.

 

[slash83]

I don’t think coaching was the issue with him, seemed like he checked out mentally.

 

[mike_usagisan]

With Patricia as the OL coach, I can see why. I just wonder if better coaching wouldn't get his mindset back to the right place.

I don't agree with checked out. Why would he have played through significant illness if he was checked out? I think we are just getting what everyone not named Scar got out of him.

Maybe this shows how smart Mount Brown is after the crap show He experienced with Fat Matt has OL Coach. BB didn't cease to amaze there but we saved a lot of Coaching $$$.

 

[203Pat]

I remember all the rumors that Bill liked him in the draft but the Titans got him first. Wonder if he comes in for a visit soon.

$11 Mill First Round stump and Bust Wynn/Lose spent almost the entire year in the Tub while Trent Brown was playing ill I don't get it either.
