You seemed to be responding to my post about Pierce so..I wasn't replying to your comment, so I guess we're in agreement on that
Didn't play in 2022? He was injured 2021 with PFF 60.
Yep and maybe someone will offer two round ones for him. Just kidding I think we will get a real good season from Schultz. But I thought Rasheem Green was real deal.. so there is that..If Shultz balls out, we can always franchise him. A TE franchise isn't that big.
Agreed, but what's with all the 1 year deals? I mean honestly...WTF!

IMO, once Caserio and Ryans get the guys they want in the draft and the team is more talented overall, we will start seeing FAs signed to longer term deals. It makes no sense to lock up FAs to long term deals with the roster in the shape it's in right now. Teams typically overpay in FA, paying good players as if they were elite players. That's how teams get in cap hell.Agreed, but what's with all the 1 year deals? I mean honestly...WTF!
Oh yeah...I'm most looking forward to that backfield of Pierce and Single Tray.

I don’t think we’re going to see many long term free agent signings in the Caserio era based on his comments. Multiple times he has brought up that many if not most long term free agent signings end up with the player cut after a couple of years. I think he genuinely believes in building through the draft and using free agency for depth guys and to plug holes in the short term.
I think longer term deals are going to be reserved for re-signing draft picks and maaaybe if we ever feel like we just need 1-2 more pieces to get us over the hump.
That seems like a sound strategy but if he’s gonna stick to it religiously it means he’s gonna have to draft well
HOUSTON — Former league MVP Lamar Jackson remains in a fluid situation with the Baltimore Ravens. Jackson had a non-exclusive tag placed on him by the Ravens this off-season, which gave the All-Pro quarterback a chance to negotiate with other teams in hopes of landing a lucrative deal.
The market for Jackson has been surprisingly small. But Dan Orlovsky of ESPN revealed he believes the Houston Texans should go after Jackson this off-season.
Pretty mid at least according to PFF. Seems like another Kirksey level guy but maybe DeMeco can get the most out of him until we get some younger talent there
How did he quit on his team?Like you said, he quit on his team last year. Why give him anymore than a year if he does that? I don’t have any qualms about the 1 year deals. Let them come here to prove themselves.
And I’m going to repeat myself for effect.. I hate dead money, and I imagine Caserio doesn’t think to highly about it either, considering the dead money hell he came into when he got here. And before you go there, he just locked up the left tackle for the next 3 years, so he’s looking at every player differently.
Chill.
This was my post after the Dallas playoff lost. Schultz was the TE I was referencingHow did he quit on his team?
Singletary should have been a first day signing instead of the other dude.
This was my post after the Dallas playoff lost. Schultz was the TE I was referencing
Seriously, the worse execution of a 40 second drive in playoff history.
-Almost caught for a safety
- Starting TE with two poor (lazy and unaware) plays
- weird formation which had a catch by your 4th Wr and no laterals
So we are referencing two plays, in one drive, in one game? In which he scored a TD? And had 100 yards and 2 TD's the playoff game before?
That's called quitting on his team? OK...
Littleton is only 29 and a pro bowl talent (2018). 2019, his last as a Ram was also an excellent year. Left the Rams as a free agent in 2020. We'll see if DeMeco can return him to his '18-'19 form.Pretty mid at least according to PFF. Seems like another Kirksey level guy but maybe DeMeco can get the most out of him until we get some younger talent there

I wasn't the poster who said Schultz quit, fwiw, and made the assumption of what was being referenced. At minimum, it was a poor time to have a lapse in concentration.
Even if a player is more positive than good, no need to defend poor moments.
Why does it matter when Singletary was signed? He’s here now, in the same FA cycle. There could be a number of reasons why he waited or the team waited. None of them really matter now that he is signed.Singletary should have been a first day signing instead of the other dude.

Deiter had foot issues in 2021 and 2022. Any updates on this. Only played in 8 games in '21, but came back and played in 17 games in '22 with no starts.Texans signed C Michael Deiter, formerly of the Dolphins.
Deiter started 15 games for the Dolphins at left guard as a rookie in 2019 before being relegated to a bench role in 2020, moving to center at 2021, and playing in another depth role along the offensive line in 2022. He comes off his rookie contract looking to recapture his early career upside in a new setting, heading to the Texans on an undisclosed deal. Deiter should initially settle into a depth role for the rebuilding franchise on a roster lacking much in the way of experience along the offensive line outside of their presumed starters. The news comes directly on the heels of the signings of running back Devin Singletary and tight end Dalton Schultz earlier in the day. per rotoworld
I hope things work out for him.Just know next year they will have around 90+ million to work with. Therefore, if these players pan out, they could extend them.
I haven’t watched him so this is based off of comments by other teams fans and PFF grades. He was a pretty good starter for a couple years with the Rams earning a 67 and 79 rating in 2018 and 2019 from PFF. He got moved over to the Raiders who apparently played him a bit out of scheme (idk if this is true just what some Raiders fans said on Reddit). He did not play well with Oakland earning a 46 and 47 grade from PFF, maybe for the aforementioned scheme fit issues. He then started about half the games in Carolina last year and played fairly well with a 72 PFF grade.Littleton rings a bell, but he's not a guy I follow or know enough about to really have input. Does anyone know this guy or follow his game? Is he an MLB or an OLB? Will, Mike, or Sam?
His two best seasons were with the Rams in 2018 and 2019. He played ILB in a 34 defense. 2018 was his pro bowl season, but 2019 season was just as good. He was an undrafted freeagent in 2016. His two seasons with LV, '20 & '21, weren't bad stat wise. Don't know what position he played, or his season with Carolina, 2022.Littleton rings a bell, but he's not a guy I follow or know enough about to really have input.

Now all they have to do is nail the draft and it will be the breast offseason ever.

He could easily return to his 2021 prime of 9 tackles and a sack. You have to pay for that kind of production.Why does Nick continually give Derek Rivers NFL contracts? 16 career tackles since 2018.
I was thinking Reeves-Maybin upgrade.Sounds like a slightly upgraded Kirksey.
