Pot Roast visiting - (UPDATED - He's Reportedly Joining the Team)

[JMC00]

This is a serious issue, if we know that now NEED to draft a DT or two.

The good news is that this is a fine draft for DT's.

Personally, I don't count on 3rd round draftees to be major rookie contributors.

I guess the BOTTOM LINE for me is that we are fine with Brown-Branch-Easley if they are healthy. Given Easley's injury history and the fact that Branch is in his contract year, we need a bit of depth.

We have TWO open positions. There are lots of ways to fill those positions. On the roster we have Chris Jones, Kitchen and Kearse. We need much more competition.

Step back from that ledge...

Having two open backup positions is fine with me. I am even fine if we decide to go with Chris Jones and Kearse (or Kitchen).

There are not many clearly OPEN roster spots. Here we have two. This is a good thing.

We do not need to have 5 DTs on the roster. I can almost guarantee there will be an UDFA DT on the practice squad.

I'm not that concerned that the 4th DT might end up being a guy we just signed as a FA, or a guy who started for us in the past, or a guy who is an NFL vet. I'm not concerned at all if the 5th DT is on the practice squad.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media said that Knighton is expected to make a decision by the end of the day Tuesday.

Turns out that tweet wasn't about the Patriots at all! Poor guy had his mentions blown up by rabid Patriots fans for no reason. I don't envy the celebrity on Twitter.

Do it Bill

So did we jump the gun??

Did last year and it worked great.

Rapoport now says Knighton is visiting the Redskins tomorrow, which could go either way. He clearly has lost some weight and could want to go show them in person, or it could all be a negotiating tactic to get more from the Pats.

Oh well. Skins said that they were going to a more shooting up the field front 4 but if Knighton loses a little weight and plays like he did vs NE in the 2013 AFCCG he'll fit in just fine.

 

[VectorPrime]

Well if he's going to Washington tomorrow then he can't very well make a decision by the end of today can he?

I just assume it means that if he makes it to Washington he'll probably re-sign there. Seems a little odd to visit the team you just played for but what do I know.

 

[Kontradiction]

Hopefully he signs here. We need a run stuffer at the 1-tech in a bad way and he can do that well.

Maybe he's going to Washington just to tell them they suck.

Just tried to hit up some Celtics players on twitter to help recruit Potroast (he's a huge C's fan).

He was a Patriots fan before going to the Broncos.

I bet he's just trying to get the Skins to pay up.

Hmm, Redskins or Patriots, real tough call there.
