Again, I know it's not the same position, but Oka is replacing Shologan. Thomas/Draft pick doesn't need to be better than Shol. The combo of Oka and DT need to be better than the combo of the rotating DE spot last year and Shol. youre exactly right they moved the low salary spot over one. I think the team is excited about having an impact player at DE rather than whatever Sholo and Cummings were being last season.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Well, yes it would. and I'd say 125 is closer to what Thomas is making than what it would take to lure Laing into the picture.

Can't pay big money on all 4 positions. that would be nuts.

Chris Williams, I'm guessing

I was positive he'd be gone.

I still expect a DT.

I'm pretty sure he was speaking more generally about players in FA when he said that, not specifically about QBs (also listened to it once a couple of days ago).

If they are already a top prospect, the only place to go is down.

He did play in preseason last year.

They're identical in size.

I'm sure Dunk has more than one person he talks to, but I would believe Walters is one of them.

So many people have been down on Wild as our MLB because of his size. According to the roster, Wild and Know are virtually identical. For season reason I was under the impression that Knox was quite a bit bigger.

I also dislike this part of our OT.

I don't see how you can refer to it as a "real game of football in OT" if I team can score a TD and win. If both sides got a drive, then it would be a real game simulation.

Damn, that's a lot of FAs

Great article.

Brilliant.

Perhaps they didn't officially offer him a contract (or maybe they did, I don't know either way), but Walters said he told Glenn they had x amount of dollars to spend on the QB position and Glenn asked to be released to see if there was a better offer.

Walters mentioned this in a recent interview regarding Glenn as well. They offered him a contract that fit with what they could afford to pay for a back up QB, but he asked to be released to see if other teams were slotting for more in that spot. It could still happen that Glenn doesn't find more money on the open market and we resign him.

You have way too many dollars tied up at the QB situation there.

He apparently played great. He's only a junior though so he's quite a ways out from being relevant to us. i can't believe how early these guys are neg listed. Makes you realize how tough it is to get quality prospects up here.

Normally teams are signing players right now using extra cap space from the previous season. It is good roster and cap management. However, the scuttlebutt this year is that we don't have any extra cap space in order to do that. So, you're right, it's not great news. It's not surprising though.

Remember that Kavis Reed and Matt Nichols spent three years together in Edmonton (Though Nichols was injured for most of it). He may be a fan.

Bauming made the point that none of SAM/Dimeback's were voted as All Stars.
