Surprising! Hopefully this is a good sign for Strong/Harris, but this early on it's more likely a sign that he's not right physically. Maybe he comes back later for TC, but for now it's too bad.

Ladies and gentlemen, Dalvin Cook !

Ladies and gentlemen, Dalvin Cook !

That would be sweet !

 

[PatsFan2]

So why the hell did we sign him??

 

[scott99]

That would be sweet !

Imagine Dalvin Cook AND Deandre Hopkins ? Instant offense.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Too bad. Mustn't be right physically.

 

[captain stone]

DAMN

What's worse is that the execrable Ty Montgomery is one step closer to making the 53 again.

Yeah I am not feeling the soon to be 31 Ty Montgomery either.

I don't think the Pat's have enough to sign Cook and Hopkins. If I get to choose, give me Hopkins. I have a lot more faith in our RB depth.

Not saying we get either.

Cutting James Robinson saves an additional $1.6M in cap space. They'll be close to $16M now.

Weird... I thought the signing was odd in the first place. I thought Strong and Harris showed they can play, Monty is the obvious 3rd down guy. Plenty of minimum salary PS, bottom of the depth chart guys will be available. If you suffer a significant injury there are still a bunch of older vets that could come in and be decent.

According to Miguel the savings is 820k with cap space a little over $14M

Yeah, RB is a different animal now. There's alway mediocrity available to fill in for a run of injuries, and they can usually get up to speed quickly, unlike other positions where below average would be all you could find.

We have a ton of money available in 2024 with limited quality free agents.

Spend some of that money now with a signing bonus & short salary for 2023

Ty Montgomery must have already beat him out.

Ty Montgomery must have already beat him out.

From what I've heard he just didn't look good/right in the initial OTAs which is a bad sign for a guy trying to prove that he's all the way back from a devastating injury.

Correct. Waived but not out of the picture. He'll be on speed dial unless another team signs him.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Hopefully thats a good sign for strong. I could totally see him in the woodhead role stealing carries from rham and catching balls. Rham needs a lighter workload this year that is for sure.
