    If everyone knows you don’t want something - why would they give you more than a 7th for him?

    Post 6/1 cut designation doesn’t save a whole lot of cap.

    And ffs we know he’ll just sign w/ the queens…
    But did he exaggerate his injury last year? Was he sitting just to make some weird point only he understands? If you bring him into camp will he mysteriously get hurt again making it difficult to cut him without it costing a mountain of money? I saw this play out with Bak, not sure I want to see the sequel.

    • Sounds like we signed Mecole Hardman to a one year deal.

      Not a ton of production but without Watkins and Nixon being a liability (like costing playoff games) in returns… why not.

        • His returning ability should enable him to replace Bo Melton. Nixon has said he doesn't want to return kicks anymore and Jayden Reed was nothing special on punt returns.

            • Hardman ran a 4.33 forty at the combine, and he ran a 4.22 in a match race against several other NFL players. With Watson out at least most of the season, we need that kind of speed. Good signing assuming he is still close to that fast.

              • He's Melton sized and likely will battle with him for a roster spot. He was a All Pro returner, so if Nixon digs in on not wanting to return kicks anymore they have that.

                Mecole has talent and wheels, and he's 27. If they sign hi to a 1.25 or 1.5M deal with little/no bonus it's fine. They can cut him without a problem. He's a lottery ticket who provides some depth, and can do some of the gadget stuff.

                It doesn't really move the needle a lot. Probably means they don't like the WRs in the draft or feel the top tier is elite and will bank on interior development and competition from within to improve. Would like to see them draft a WR though.

Doesn't seem like they lined him up wide outside, which is probably what they want unless they are doing something else with Reed. Not saying Egbuka can't play outside, but i wonder if that's not where he's best. I think Gute picks a WR in Round 2-4, he'll be gone before they do.

                    Side note: I liked JSN a little better coming out than Egbuka, but I probably wouldn't be mad if they picked Egbuka.

                        Yeah, he had an eventful preseason with picks etc. so I think some were surprised by the cut.
                        He's the Eric Wilson replacement and gives Hopper competition. Doesn't preclude them from drafting or bringing in LBs but doesn't make it a need either. Bisaccia is probably happy.

                          Brian Gutekunst confirms two-time Pro Bowl left guard Elgton Jenkins will switch positions with the arrival of Aaron Banks.

                          On Jenkins: “We think he can be an All-Pro center.”

                              • Read that Love would like to run more this season and make off-schedule plays.
                                I think his injury was worse than he let on last season. On the bright side, he couldn’t run much less.
