NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Official 2023 Free Agency Thread

I'd focus the offense around the Hall if I were the Jete.

So the guy who makes REPEATED racist attacks on Mahomes wants another poster banned? yeah ok..,

Like I said. You're so predictable that I already knew what you were going to reply with. Wrote this timestamped because I just knew.

Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Corey Davis, Mecole Hardman, Denzel Mims, AND Odell Beckham? That seems like a bit much

I wouldn't be surprised to see Davis dumped the moment another WR is signed.

I’d sign him.

Honestly though we know one or both of Davis and Mims are going in the Rodgers deal.

BREAKING: Baltimore Ravens Sign Free Agent WR Odell Beckham Jr.

The Lamar Jackson situation just got a whole lot more interesting…

I read if the Raiders pay him he goes on their Cap and comes off our Cap. That is why we let him go, and the Raiders picked him up.

Thanks... At least we're not gonna pay him to be on another team... I can't imagine Bill drafting another QB this year; not when signing a veteran QB has now taken precedence over drafting one.

 

[DaBruinz]

Beckham getting a 1yr/$15M deal with 4 void years is f'in hilarious. What's the over/under on the number of games he actually plays?

Falcons are really trying to revamp that defense I respect it.
I don’t see any way they don’t go QB early in the draft.

It makes all the sense in the world, but if they don't like Levis or Richardson (one but not both are likely to be available at 8) then it might make sense for them to hope to get that generational talent next year.

White is a beast. Tackling, speed, covering, pass rushing - he is a legit LB .

He's really not. Had a few splash plays in their Superbowl run, and is an outrageous athlete but can't play the run and is terrible in coverage, despite his movement skills. He's given up more yards in coverage than any other LB since he's been in the league, by a wide margin. He's a pretty good blitzer, but that's about it.

I watched him regularly and I am sure he is much better than Bentley, McMillan And Wilson altogether.

That's like being praised for being the best dressed man in Albania

Ranked as a 17th LB last season by PFF he must be familiar with fashion.

Would BB trade Mac for White?

Just saying.

I don't pay for PFF so I can't speak to the veracity of that. But according to this article from a Bucs fan site, that also uses PFF stats to back up their opinion, they pretty much align with my thoughts on him

"No stat works more in White’s favor than his pressure rate. He is among the best linebackers in the game when it comes to blitzing the quarterback. He also has a knack for creating turnovers, a highly valuable skill that is not easy to duplicate.

The problem is, White is pretty bad at just about everything else. It would be difficult to describe him as anything but a liability in pass coverage. He plays zone coverage too soft, and does not appear comfortable carrying receivers.

White also misses a lot of tackles, consistently finishing in the bottom half of the league in missed tackle rate. Here, White’s blazing speed can be a liability as he frequently comes in too hot on tackle attempts, and bounces right off ball carriers."

What do the Bucs do with Devin White?

With a $55 million cap overage looming, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have their fill of tough roster decisions this offseason. One of the bigger decisions that is flying under the radar is what the Bucs will do with the apparent heart of their defense, linebacker…

I am not saying he is perfect but watching him on the field you see a leader and that is what I am missing speaking of Patriots LBs.
And 124 tackles this season,128 last season and 140 3 years ago is not bad for someone who is terrible.in coverage. Add his pass rushing ability and trust me he is the one you want to see in Pats' uniform.
