Gonzalez Davis is the best CB duo in the NFL. One of the best in a long time. Now we’re talking.

Where's the pass rush to help them thus far? You could have Ty Law and Stephon Gilmore in their prime back there and it won't be enough if you can't pressure the QB and stop the run. But Davis was my #1 CB choice in FA, so Yay.

Patriots Rumor - Pats are big time in on DT Milton Williams

 

[bakes781]

That's an actual Woohoo. Fills a giant hole even if he's not 100% right away.

Sorry if that came off as sarcasm lol it wasn't meant to be.

 

[Ring 6]

Osborn is an excellent player. Completely misused by Mayo/AVP. Just like Thornton was misused.

You have to be joking.

 

[JohnJH]

Won’t lie…I know nothing about Carlton Davis. I do have reservations about signing a black dude named “Carlton”.

He's the #1 rated FA CB this offseason. Is especially excellent in man coverage. 6'1 and 206

 

[Toofy]

Now please go and sign cam Robinson for 3 years 50 million 32 million gtd.

Landry is a good pass rusher that's an upgrade on what has been there lately.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

No fly zone baby! Gonzo- davis-jones- Austin is a nice set

Need another pass rusher or 2 and we’re in business

 

[Patsgofor4]

OH HELL NO.

I really liked the Landry and Spilane moves, but Carlton Davis is absolute garbage. That's a really awful move.

How do we have two completey different takes on the same player on opposite sides of the spectrum?

I don't know a whole lot about this player but I do know that when I was watching the Lions their defensive backs were absolutely ****ing torched. That's the extent of the information my brain holds.

 

[mike_usagisan]

They can do better in the draft. Any of the top 4-5 OT’s will be a better option.

I was hoping for BPA at 4 but now I think we have to pick an OT.

They signed two run stoppers in Landry and Spillane. Let’s see if anything else happens.

Landry shouldn’t hurt the pass rush either.

Baby steps, the team is better today than it was yesterday. Still need more of course.

We just signed Landry. Keion White will be rushing from inside. Barmore is a very good pass rushing DT. Spillane and Bentley are good blitzing ILBs. We need more, but this is a start.

 

[Ross12]

Yes and the cap will keep going up too so these contracts won't seem as big in like 3 to 5 years from now

Dan Moore at $20.5M a year will still be an overpay in 3 years

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

Puke.

Who is the guy who wrote that a friend told him that Williams had already hired a real estate agent to find him a house in Massachusetts. Show yourself!

No kidding. I’d find a new friend.

 

[Zoomnbyu]

Sure. Let's just say for rough math case, it was actually somewhere between $5-$10 million more. I'm not sure it was really the tax. I think he just gave the Bucs a hometown discount to stay and it's hard to say what the money amount more it was going to take to get him to leave.

So, we would need a team's schedule the next 3-4 years as well to have an accurate analysis as well...

I've been biting this back over the last several weeks as I seen the millionaire tax posts. Most folks that fall into the category that the tax would like to impact feel little to nothing from it. Having other LLCs, using depreciation, other tax planning advantages decimate taxes to the point that 7 to 8 digit and above income folks can be paying low single digit in taxes. These players all have access to business and tax planners that can make the millionaire tax mean nothing.

Landry is a pass rusher, not a run stopper, primarily.

A lot of that is because Davis missed most of the season with an injury.

 

[DaBruinz]

I think that’s a big overpay. He’s an average OT.

An average OT would be an upgrade for us.

Moore took fewer penalties than Lowe. Otherwise he was just as bad.
