Man it feels good to actually have real working people in charge.

Yeah i casually follow both the Texans and Cowboys threads. I could step in day 1 as a Madden experienced GM and improve the Cowboys situation. The Texans I’d be sundowning in meetings and be the guy IT has to tell to plug the laptop to power.

Why are we stockpiling crappy O-linemen?

Robinson isn’t an all pro but he’s not crappy. PFF had him as their #2 best FA OT.

Caserio is a good GM. Hannah, DeMeco and Nick are very much aligned. 

They basically added a year on his contract at what he is making now and then gave him a big raise for this upcoming season.  Rewards him for his year last year but doesn't cripple us in the future when we add another big extension or two to the books.  Smart, smart move.

I really like what they’ve done over the last couple of weeks.  If they have a good draft and stay healthy next year, they could really make some noise.

From everything I've ready I don't think any of the FAs we've signed will start. Going to need someone in house to be better under the new OC, and going to need to draft two guys who can play next year or sign a FA out there who will start.

I'd be floored if we gave Cam Robinson $12m to sit the bench.

I mean, when you say it like that, yeesh.

But he gave up 3rd most pressures and 4th most sacks as T last year... got to think he's very expensive swing tackle depth and Howard/Fisher remains the plan. No point in moving Tunsil if the backup plan is to outbid New England for that guy. 

Then see if you can draft a OT who can beat out Howard/Fisher in camp and get a second guy at OG who can become the starter before year ends.

Maybe? Eek.

To be fair, I'd be thrilled if we drafted someone who steals the job from him (and I'm not sure it would be terribly difficult.)  I'm just saying that kind of financial commitment seems to indicate they think he's the guy this year.

How much money is guaranteed on Robinson's contract. What would be the plan if you go into the draft and watch the Top 3 OTs get taken before you pick or can convince another team to make a trade? I would say Robinson is a contingency plan that allows them to draft BA instead of drafting for a specific need.

Yeah, either they want flexibility if the best available they have rated significantly higher than the best OL on the board, or they are trying to play mind games and make other teams think they may not go OL, so that one of their top 3 OL falls to them (then they cut one or more of these non-guaranteed contract FAs).

trade up if he calls past 8

Not happening, they didn't sign two journeymen tackles with that bit of money they free upped from re-working contracts simply to pay for depth at tackle.  Robinson and Fisher start and Titus slides to guard which means they stay put and draft the best available interior offensive linemen to fix one of the other holes in their offensive line and address the tackle situation next year.

This isn't a great offensive tackle draft, every prospect has got some issues and I don't see them overpaying for someone they aren't sure about and you don't go get two veteran tackles if you are sure about a prospect.

Wow, 100k per a yard is a steep price. Glad New England is paying it and not us. Should be worth a good compil pick for us at 23m apy. Bravo New England! 

No comp pick for the Texans. Something to do with either void years or number of contracts he’s had.

Diggs signing with the Patriots. 3 years, $69M. $26M guaranteed. Even with the puny guarantee, that’s a lot better than I anticipated. 

WTF?  $23M a year for a receiver who had lost a step before blowing out his knee?  Heck, Tank Dell might get $5M in this market if he can ever walk again.

Yeah that’s the downside of adding void years…
