That we did. As we do every year, and as many keep forgetting, we address holes in free agency setting up BPA in the draft.

This is now the 11th year of doing so.

I had a good feeling he would sign & I'm very happy about this. The upcoming draft will be alot of fun this year!

This won't be popular, but I'm still intrigued by Robert Nkemdiche.

Thomas Morestead has a 4.5 cap number which is about 3.5 mil too much for a guy not named Ray Guy...

Matt Ryan just tee tee'd his diaper.

And two draft picks for a punter (when you only had 4 to start with) is also too much.

His stock has dropped a bit but still a solid pro prospect. Not sure if the Saints target Robert though.
Then again, who knows.

This is a Patriots type move and a very good one at that

1 year "prove yourself" deal for 3M

If this lights a fire then he's worthy of an extension, if not then we (hopefully) have drafted a DT to replace him.
