They have the leagues oldest backfield and just made it significantly older. At a position everyone is looking for youth and speed. Gore fits our offense better as a runner, he knows how to hit a hole and at least get positive yardage instead of dancing behind the line of scrimmage. I was hoping that they would draft Benny Snell as he's a similar type bruising runner but, for a year, Gore will be a guy who will consistently get 3-5 yards up the gut for us on first down.

That's the problem. We shouldn't be running an offense that is designed that way. 1

TrueBlueGED Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 I like the Morse signing a lot. The Kroft signing? Less so. Seems like a healthy chunk of change for JAG.
TrueBlueGED Posted March 12, 2019 Report Posted March 12, 2019 In other news, I really wanted Trey Flowers but I'm glad we didn't pay him $80 million.

With Eifert's injury history, is one ever really stuck behind him? Kroft had a single year that could even be classified as okay. It's not a cap breaking deal or anything, but assuming he's our starter, I'm not sure he's any better than Clay. 1

I think he has better hands than Clay

Definitely an overpayment for an avg TE, but there wasn't much else out there. Maybe they can get Hock in the draft and have your starter right there.

Again, it's not a crap crippling deal, just don't think it's a "judicious" use of space.

Either way they still need more guys at the position with Croom the only TE on the roster.

Hoss Posted March 12, 2019 Report Posted March 12, 2019 Gore: good signing once they cut Ivory. They signed a better back to a one-year deal for less than they’ll get when they cut Ivory. Adds a small amount of cap and improves the team for a year while a rookie learns. Also: a rookie should learn a ton from Gore and Shady. Kroft: hate it. He’s never been “good” but he got paid like he has. He’s this offseason’s Trent Murphy. Morse: love it. One of the league’s best centers and that’s a HUGE need. Spends years with Allen which is great. Johnson: don’t know the numbers yet but if he came cheap that’s a good signing. If it’s got multi-year guarantees then it’s bad.

Eleven Posted March 12, 2019 Report Posted March 12, 2019 I'm actually a little bit encouraged. These aren't bad FA signings, Gore came cheap, and maybe there's room for a certain Buffalo-based running back in the fourth round? I really can't hate the moves so far. Still need a #1 WR.
Brawndo Posted March 12, 2019 Report Posted March 12, 2019 This could be interesting, the Jets really want him as well
