If he can be back in 6 months….then he won’t fall to our 2nd round pick. A team who isn’t in win now will take him at the top of the 2nd. Hell the Broncos could afford to take him.

I was thinking 3rd round

Probably true. I bet he doesn’t last until our second round pick. Jeffrey Simmons fell because of an injury and still went late in the first

If I’m the Lions…..I’d take him at 32.

Agreed. We should remember that J Wiliams also hurt himself and that we are hoping he would fall to #30, but seems more likely now that he goes top 20.

I’d gladly sign Ingram and take Okoboji at 30.

Give Joe Cullen some firepower to work with.

In that situation, he could be fully healthy and ready to contribute by mid season and until then, Ingram Clark and company can hold it down.

We won’t have many chances to get a guy like Okoboki or Williams unless we take some injury risk or other concern.

Who? LMAO

I know you mean Ojabo.

I think that pick is going to the Browns for Baker.

No way is Mayfield worth a 1st.

Agree but when you got more then 1 team involved. Shit happens

Proud to be an Okobauki from Missaukee

I’m not sure the Lions are interested. He’s not their type of player. Plus I’ve heard that it’s basically the Colts and Seahawks.

Baker should be hoping it's the Seahawks. Their offense fits his style.


Sailing the ball over receivers and then running it on 2nd 3rd and 4th

Clearly meant that Okeechobee fella out of Florida.

I’m right there with you man.

I understand the risk of taking Ojabo at 30, but I just don’t give a ****.

This team has an opportunity to draft a top 15 player at their biggest position of need.

Anybody we would take at 30 isn’t likely to contribute early on in year 1 anyways.

Interesting take!

@MikeGarafolo: The #Falcons have agreed to terms with WR/RB/S Cordarrelle Patterson for the do-everything guy to return to Atlanta, source says.

Arthur Smith, Dave Ragone & Co. keep a key offensive piece coming off career-highs in touches (205), yards from scrimmage (1166) and TDs (11).

Carlos Dunlap released. Go get him.

Yesterday.

I wonder what he got.

I agree! If he OR Jameson Williams are there, I would jump all over that!

Same logic for either player. We may not have an opportunity to draft that kind of talent for the next decade.

Sorry for making it sound like it was breaking.

I'm just processing all the stuff that happened and wanted to put in my support for adding him.

You’re not alone.

:thumb:

Disagree. We have holes at DE, corner and safety. I think there are a lot of guys who can step in day 1. A first rd DE would be a 3rd rusher taking lots of snaps

Good luck with that.

Alright you guys convinced me. Time to get my hopes up for our first round pick.

Mods taking note of all those getting smithandrew51's hopes up?

Let's draft Obama at 30!

Cordarrelle Patterson will be back in Atlanta next season. The versatile running back/wideout is re-signing with the Falcons, reports NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo (via Twitter). It’s a two-year, $10.5MM deal, according to ESPN’s Michael Rothstein (via Twitter).

That had to have a few teams involved to get that price that high.

I wouldn’t go that high, but he will end up earning every penny.

Antonio Brown is reportedly going to Cleveland to catch passes from the molester.

I think PFF estimated he would get 2 years $12 M. Spotrac had the estimate even higher.

He fits with Atlanta's offense and they know how to use him.

I thought he might be an interesting weapon for Andy Reid plus he could return kickoffs.

OMG. That is truly a stupid move.

This will end well, I’m sure.

Taking Ojabo in the first would be stupid BEFORE he tore his achilles.

Now you're talking about taking him in the first with a torn achilles even though the only skill he has is his first step.

don't hold your breath fellas

:facepalm:

What a terrible ****ing take.

Antonio Brown wanting to play for the Browns does not mean he’s “reportedly going to Cleveland”.

Where did you hear that?

An Achilles tear on a dude like Ojabo is potentially sending him to Day 2 at a minimum. He’s a freak athlete but the risk if it doesn’t heal is essentially that you have a guy who is only first step with a worse first step.

Alternatively, maybe you get lucky and get a swing at Boye Mafe

Yea, he was only a top 15 prospect because of his “first step”!

:facepalm:

I can tell you’ve never actually watched the guy play, because he wins in multiple ways.

Also, I was talking specifically about your take that it would’ve been stupid taking him in the 1st before his injury.

I have no problem with people that disagree and think it’s too risky now, but that take was just awful.

Bashes Ojabo then calls for Mafe lmao

He's a project. whatever man. If you love him good on you. He's a complete project and now he's a day two player.

Yea, exactly.

I’d love to hear what Mafe is if Ojabo is a “complete project”.

Dude had 11 sacks this year, and improved a a run defender throughout the year. He’s got a real knack for causing fumbles. He has excellent inside/outside spin move, and he can win in multiple ways.

Saying he would’ve been a “stupid” pick at 30 before the injury is probably the worst draft take I’ve seen this year.

It was on FaceBook- so it must be true- :p

I guess it is just a 1-sided love affair at this point.

Andrew Wylie's new contract is interesting -

He gets $2,385,000 base and that is also guaranteed

BUT...

He only costs for our cap, $1,187,500.

I think that the Chiefs did that same type contract with Demarcus Robinson not last year but the year before.

I think this is related to the Veteran Salary Benefit rule (VSB).

Anyway good to have Andrew back, because it always seems like we need him, and it did not cost too much either.

The 2020 CBA expanded on the VSB and created a second veteran benefit known as the 4-year Qualifying Player benefit. This benefit is only available to players who have been under contract with the team (and never released) for the immediately prior 4 or more seasons. Under this rule, the team can designate a player (or a combination of two players) to be signed and receive the benefit and reduce his (or their) base salary for Cap purposes by up to $1.25M (combined if it’s two players). This rule also limits the player’s signing bonus to $137,500 and the player’s base salary cannot be more than $1.25M over the applicable minimum salary for the player’s sevice time.

For example: The team could sign a player to a contract with a base salary of $2.325M (base salary of $1.075M + $1.25M) and a signing bonus of $137,500. The total money earned by the player would be $2,462,500, but the deal would only count $1,212,500 on the team’s Cap.

Thanks for posting that. I didn’t know the full details.

Let's not talk bad about my guy Boye Mafe.

Who doesn't like a guy named after food? (A traditional spicy Senegalese stew made with a tomato-peanut butter sauce)

Of course, I really liked him when I thought we could get him in the 2nd round.

:facepalm:

Stafford got his new deal.

Wilson’s up next

Rams should have released him, he is not that good

I thought Wilson got a new contract after being traded to Broncos?

He has two years left… I wouldn’t be surprised if they did something now, but who knows.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/denver-b...l-wilson-9885/

You guys see Watson's base salary in 2022 is $1 million? So any suspension the league imposes will not affect his fully guaranteed mega deal. Lol, that's flat out dirty. I do have to tip my hat to the cleverness of that deal though. Watson has a great agent representing him.

That’s how most smart teams operate.

Minimize the initial cap hit to try to have at least a resemblance of flexibility. Signing bonus in lieu of base salary in year one is very common. We do it in every contract.

My opinion comes from my Michigan fan friends.

Most recent: "My hot take as a Michigan fan is that Ojabo had bust written all over him, even before the injury.

He played one season and did so opposite a guy who was so dominant that he could've won the Heisman. It reminds me of the defensive linemen who play next to Aaron Donald, rack up mostly clean-up sacks, and then get exposed as nothing special once they've signed a big contract somewhere else."

but I admit you're absolutely right that I don't watch much college football I'm just regurgitating.

Less worried about CB. The sky is always seemingly falling every offseason, and we always seem to do fine there.

Draft a guy somewhere and let's roll.

it's hard to find better for cheap depth that can play multiple positions on the o-line

oh BS, he's pretty damn good. old now but he did just QB a team that won a Superbowl. He just might make it into the hall now because of that switch. He would have had a better career on just about any other team.

Yup

****

For only a 6th though!? Damn.

He's a good fit for the Titans.

Look at that money he is owed that’s why it’s only a 6th

Not as much as I would have expected actually...

$13m-$17m over the next 4 years

Thats a lot for coming off a ACL

Fair.

I wonder where Julio is going to end up? GB maybe?

Green Bay is going to end up with a Seahawk WR and a drafted WR

Don’t forget we’re getting DK with our 30, brah

Case Keenum from the Browns to the Bills for a 7th round pick.

To be fair, the crowd was probably booing louder than he’s ever heard.

Too bad for them that Tannehill still sucks.

Speaking of Okeechobee... one time some fruit mine bought an ounce of some fire ass Okeechobee Purple buds. We probably smoked half of it within an hour. I was red eyed, dry mouthed, muchified.... HIGH AF. We decided to go up the road and go horseback riding. We get going, and I’m all high, and not paying a lot of attention. All of a sudden my horse rears up and I fall partially off the horse. The horse takes off, my foot is stuck in the foot holder. Horse is going nuts, and I’m starting to slip and afraid I was gonna fall off and get kicked in the head in the way down.... if it wasn’t for the manager at K-Mart coming out and unplugging the machine, who knows what would have happened!! o:-)

Does he play RB? Tanny is still the quarterback.

have we hired any other POS?
