What worries me about Thomas is he's twice in the last 3 years fractured his left leg. Coincidence, or is there something structurally wrong there? Giving him a lot of guaranteed money would be a big risk.

Good point.Originally posted by Joemailman View Post
Earl Thomas has played 29 games the last three years (11, 14, 4).
Brian Bulaga has played 35 games (16, 5, 14).
Clay Matthews has played 42 games (12, 14, 16).
If we want to dump Matthews and Bulaga for availability, should we want to bring in Thomas? I know the game totals of players are dependent on when a year ending injuring occurs, but each Matthews and Bulaga has had a full 16 game season once in the last three years. Thomas has not. To Thomas' credit, prior to 2016 he was a 16 games/year guy every year. Matthews and Bulaga have had career long injury histories.
Interesting issue.Comment

Free Agency stinks.
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
Spoke with #Steelers S Morgan Burnett, who tells me he wants to be released from his deal before free agency. During his time in Pittsburgh, he felt he played out of position as a dime LB. Burnett, with 2 yrs left on his contract, wants a new start & a chance to play safety againBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Interesting options at safety.
Earl Thomas or Morgan Burnett. Both are 30 years of age next season. That's assuming we would make a play for either of them or they would be interested in playing for GB.Comment

They seemingly wanted him to be Shazier on passing downs. He did not look comfortable at all.Originally posted by pbmax View Post"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment

Was it all that different than Nitro LB is Green Bay or is he just feeling his age?Originally posted by mraynrand View PostBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Yeah, maybe age, but seemed more like a guy who wanted to tackle like a safety, not a LB. I saw a guy who couldn't shed blocks, didn't want to put his nose in there. Didn't watch enough to be certain this is the whole story.Originally posted by pbmax View Post"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand.

Between a pass rusher, safety, WR, and OG it would be nice if we could go into the draft with 2 legit FA's to cover those needs.TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD.

looked at a little bit of game at Baltimore. Burnett in a lot of man coverage versus TEs. He can run with them just fine, but did get an interference in end zone called because he didn't turn head. If he hasn't learned by now...Originally posted by pbmax View Post"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - WoodbuckComment

Burnett's main talents were his brain and his willingness to tackle (even if he was terrible at angles or lost the taste for it later in his career).Originally posted by mraynrand View Post
I always though his coverage skills were pretty average for a free safety.
Sounds like Pittsburgh was looking for an in the box safety who could also harass TEs. He is better as a freelancer up at the LOS.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

HONESTLY that would be a PERFECT signing as well !!TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

I agree. Graham has a bad knee, and I don't know if it gets better. I believe Packers can save over 8 million on the salary cap if they cut Graham by March 15. They could sign Cook for that (or less) so they would be essentially trading Graham for Cook. Cook is older than Graham but more healthy.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostI can't run no more with that lawless crowd
