Player Signing Patriots Sign OT James Hudson III

[Sciz]

Probably wouldn’t have been in my first 20 guesses of 2024 Browns players that Vrabel would want to bring in, but at least the contract reflects that.

 

[DaBruinz]

Wozzy loses interest when presented with both facts and the truth. if it doesn't fit his agenda, he ducks out with a meme

Or he'll harp on a simple typo and pretend that you don't know what you're talking about.

I had a lot more respect for him when he would admit to his mistakes and didn't make such outlandish statements like "Linderbaum is a JAG"..

 

[Wozzy]

Did what you said. What does looking at his Combine numbers tell you since he didn't actually test? Yes, people know he wasn't a great athlete. That's also why people watch tape..

Most people have said that this is a bottom of the roster move. I haven't seen anyone touting it as anything else.

Something you over-looked. Vrabel has 1st hand knowledge of the guy from his time in Cleveland.

He has ^ pro day numbers, they’re bad… what am I missing?

 

[Wozzy]

Incorrect. They traded for the Pats #1 because they wanted to replace Dan Moore. That draft pick was Broderick Jones.. Whom they wanted to take over at LT. Jones failed to win the job out of Training Camp. Jones didn't see any regular snaps at LT until week 4 that year when Moore went down. Jones then played the next game at LT. Then was benched again when Moore returned. Okorafor was their starter at RT through week 8 (week 6 Bye). Then, Tomlin put there Top Draft pick in at RT despite his lousy play.

Jones at RT - 331 pass blocking snaps - 4 sacks, 3 QB hits, 18 hurries - 1 pressure every 13.24 snaps.
Okorafor - 269 pass blocking snaps - 2 sacks, 0 QB hits, 9 hurries - 1 pressure every 24.5 snaps.

Broderick Jones was only marginally better for the Steelers as Demontrey Jacobs was for the Pats in 2024:
Jones - 593 pass blocking snaps - 10 sacks, 9 QB hits, 24 QB hurries - 1 pressure every 13.8 snaps
Demontrey Jacobs- 566 pass blocking snaps - 9 sacks, 7 QB hits, 33 hurries - 1 pressure every 11.6 snaps

Broderick Jones was moved BACK to LT in 2025 and he sucks still.
2025 - 380 pass blocking snaps, 6 sacks, 6 QB hits, 11 hurries - 1 pressure every 16.5 snaps.

What's laughable is you trying to re-write history on what actually happened in Pittsburgh with Okorafor when it's there for everyone to see. The fact that you think that Broderick Jones is good shows how out of whack your takes have gotten.

After the Week 8 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Mike Tomlin replaced Okorafor with rookie Broderick Jones for the Week 9 game against the Tennessee Titans.

Okorafor's benching with the New England Patriots in September 2024 was directly tied to performance. Okorafor struggled in the preseason and during Week 1 of the regular season. He was called for multiple penalties under the NFL's new emphasis on illegal formations and was benched early in the game against the Cincinnati Bengals after just 12 snaps. His poor play led to his replacement by Vederian Lowe, and he subsequently left the team.

So benched by two teams… but I’m trying to “rewrite history.” Sounds legit.

Wozzy told you Chuks Okorafor stunk when they signed him, you said he was “good.” Then he got benched for sucking and quit like a baby.

Facts aren’t your friend.

The fact that you're even being debated on this is something else. Some posters just seemed bored and want something to argue about. This going on for 6 pages proves that.

what I actually said was Chuks at one time was a good OT for Pitts.
He was a worthwhile, low risk, low cost free agent signing, where a change of scenery, new voice coaching him, might work out.
it did not
I never said he was anything more
I did say at one time he played well.
facts are that preseason with the Pats, I commented a few times that he did not play well (and once that he had played well) and after that first game, I again posted that he had not played well.
stop lying

You said “good signing,” it wasn’t. You were wrong. No need to dance.

Trolls love me.

This guy is much worse than very bad. I watched him for years in Cleveland. He is a total waste of time and I hope his acquisition is not a deterrent to drafting a tackle.

He certainly feels like a downgrade on Lowe. He was so bad he was benched early in the season by the Giants.

coaching. scheme.
there is clearly some bad film on him, that been posted on this thread already. there is also some good film as well.

Lowe is a better player than Hudson to me. Hudson could be a short term depth piece I guess but he’s way too inconsistent to be anything else.

 

[Urgent]

Is James Hudson II available?

 

[Grogan14]

Waste of a uniform. Could not find someone with a little more upside? Hope Marrone knows what he is doing.
Players who suck are NOT good depth pieces.

Per Mike Reiss:

OT James Hudson: 1 year, $1.402 million
Signing bonus: $137,500
Base salary: $1.215 million*
Workout bonus: $50,000
Salary-cap charge: $1.262 million
*$400k guaranteed

Lowe is a bit more expensive, like almost 8x more expensive according to Spotrac:

*ROFLMAO* Says the guy who was WRONG about Linderbaum and what happened with Okorafor and the Steelers.

You're seriously projecting your issues onto others.

Linderbaum is overrated, Chuks stinks.

Stop chasing me around like a jealous ex, it’s embarrassing.

Not sure about him, but willing to see him jump offsides by 25 yds on a daily basis until we either fix, or cut him.
1 or the other coming.

It will be interesting to see how the Fins do this year - I'm sure they'll find some good bargains in the mix, as pretty much their entire team would be considered bargains with so many vet minimum guys... but damn.

As of Friday, $182 million of the Dolphins’ salary cap dollars, or nearly 60 percent of their $308 million salary cap, is tied up in dead cap money for players no longer with the team.

Of the 24 free agents they have signed through Thursday, 21 will make the veteran’s minimum salary.

A total of 43 of their 70 players are signed for the minimum. The next-highest team has 31 such players, and league average is 23.

Only 10 of the Dolphins’ 70 players have a salary cap number of $2 million or greater.

Dolphins forced to play Moneyball after wasting salary cap dollars like no team in NFL history - The Boston Globe

With Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and more gone from Miami, the Dolphins will have to get creative to field a competitive team next season.

posters commenting like Hudson is on the team. he isn't. he is 1 of 90 that are getting a shot.
Bryant, Metz, Gutierrez. perhaps Munford. perhaps an OT drafted/udfa. another vet free agent signed after the draft.
best players are on the team
as of today, remains to be seen if that is Hudson
