Would be huge if true. Thought for sure he'd be wanting to go at the NFL this off-season.

Sounds like the #Bombers and safety Moe Leggett are nearing a contract extension.

Never would have imagined they could lock him up.

I'm suprised by this too. I thought he'd be pretty eager to get back to the NFL.

Awesome.

If he re signs... Then I suggest for whoever was looking for a jersey to get his name and number over Z Anderson

That damn walters. He should be giving press conferences instead of negotiating contract extensions.

Sorry...I had to say it.

Huge move. I think he knows he can be a star up here instead of fighting for a roster spot. Plus once again once these guys get up here they fall in love with the city and the fan base.

Great news if true.

Awesome news.

Another step forward towwards respectability. Good on Walters- this ought to buy him another couple of weeks stay of execution.

Curious what the emergence of Moe Leggett means for Graig Newman next year.....?

I'd imagine he'd still have a role. Solid on special teams, and heaven forbid Leggett were to get hurt, I'm sure he could step in. Passport certainly doesn't hurt.

Good news.

I think Newman may play the same spot as Sherman.

Great news I hope it comes to fruition;

Good news.

I think Newman may play the same spot as Sherman.

but is Newman better in that role than Sears?

No idea. Will Sears be back?

I wouldn't look at is as Newman starts there or Sears starts there, more likely Newman rotates in for 3-4 beside Sears on second down while Thomas rotates out.  Something along those lines.

 

Sign as many talented NIs as we can and start the 7 best ones.

Hopefully fewer snaps for Teague Sherman.

I don't think that Leggett is a good enough tackler to get back to the NFL.

He whiffed on a number of them last year, turning medium gains into long gains and long gains into TDs.

Happy to have him back, though; he's a playmaker with fantastic range. After so many years of watching Logan and Cauchy, it was nice to see a safety out there with some serious wheels.

Big League Teague got just the right amount of experience to fill a roll for us in the future…as a backup.

But sometimes, when you have play an NI somewhere to fill a need, it's good to know one can step up.

Sherman did that.

Hopefully, in the near future, we'll have 7-8 solid starters and guys like Sherman won't have to start, but can be excellent rotational players.

Still..a valuable asset.

Ya for all the shitting on BLT people like to do, he had quite a few forced fumbles this year. For a rookie outta CIS, he was better than okay...

If we can lock up moe, that would be huge.. Could be the glasses but I think he could push to be best or #2 safety in the league..

Also, Teague played unreal and blew away many many expectations... To suggest he disappointed would be ridiculous.. He will be an exceptional backup LB who might still become a legit starter down the road..

Teague had his highs and lows. He was good at rushing the passer for the most part when asked to, but at the same time he was easily our biggest liability in pass coverage. Unless he improves significantly in that area I wouldn't want him to be any more than a back-up.

I would not object to Newman at safety, Leggett at Sam, and Sears at HB replacing Johnson..

I think Leggett would be a dominant HB... I want Sears at SAM forever

 

Might need him to replace Washington if we can't get a deal done(which I really hope we can)

 

But Newman at Safety would be good... and I'm sure Sherman could be good there too for depth.

Guys we still need to sign: Wild, Bucknor, Sears. I'm a little surprised to hear nothing yet on Jsnuary re-signing. He's said publicly he wants to come back. I wonder if the Bombers are going to let him walk?
