This year teams can use both a franchise tag and a transition tag. I suspect they'll tag Henry and TannehillQuote:

It would be like having '06 Trevor Pryce back on the squad. I just hope KC decides to let him test the market, and we make a push.Quote:

-Jamie Collins is an interesting name. He always struck me as a talented player that excelled in going sideline to sideline, but struggled with sticking to the scheme. All in all, I think the positives outweigh the negatives with him, and I'd be open to bringing him in. However, I will admit that I haven't watched all that much of him outside of a few games here and there. My question for you is, how is he at engaging and getting off of blocks? Does he get washed out, or does he crash down hard? In a 3-4 base scheme I think that's the most important skill to look for in an ILB.
Yeah, I think Jamie gets a bum rap. I think his freelancing was overstated by the media...afterall the Patriots re-signed him.Quote:

My question for you is, how is he at engaging and getting off of blocks? Average. At this point in his career I don't think Jamie (like most older 34 backers) has the taste/ability to be a stud downhill sledgehammer. He can certainly do it....but imho that kinda wasting his skillset. Jamie's strength are sideline to sideline range, instincts, coverage and pass rush. He can blitz or he can rush from the edge the Browns never let him do it though.
I see Jamie as Mack or Will ILB not as Buck/Mike or whichever term you like for the 'take on' guy.
Agreed on CJ.Quote:

I like Armstead and Willams but I think they'll cost more then they're value.
With Jax cap situation and possibly needing to tag Ngakoue, they might cut Campbell for space. He's 33, so might take a little less and as a cut, no comp.
I have to give Eric DeCosta credit for the work he did this past season. This team had too many holes, for all of them to be fixed in one off-season. I think he did a great job, given the circumstances.
Ummm.Quote:

His players at these spots were alright probably backup level. Maybe they come good but unlikely.
as a non ravens fan, which holes did they haveQuote:

Rwt, I agree. The Ravens have been on the rise since mid-2018 (no nasty comments about Flacco, please), so why change what seems to be working? The only change I can see will be our LJ8 playoff coaching philosophy... BcQuote:
