Let's assume there are funds available next year after some cutting and restructuring. You had 1 splash and 1 cut to make. What is it? Before you answer, the splash has to be transcending and you can ignore franchise tags for the purpose of the discussion. The cut is salary-purpose, so a mid-level player shouldn't count 1. My splash is Bell. I know if utilized right (I know the risk), he is 150 yards a game somehow. I know he can give me matchup nightmares in the slot or outside. And I know I can probably relieve myself of some dead weight - about 3 players while he is on the roster. 2. For the sake of controversy, the cut is simple, Pouncey. But I could lean toward James. I look to gain a 2-3 linemen at the price of him. The Rams did it. I think we can too
Big splash Ezekiel Ansah. Pass rush, pass rush, pass rush. For cut, it is easy. Julian Thomas. He should have never been signed in the first place.
tell me about Ansah. Is he consistent? My fear is Dline again, but, I like it why the drop off in sacks since 2015?
Ansah has been banged up a lot this year and hasn't been very effective on a consistent basis. He had a hot start to his career, but has slowed down a lot. Personally, I'd spend on 1-2 highly rated OL. I'd rather use FA to address the line, then use the draft to address other positions such as TE/LB/CB.
