Eagles are releasing OT Le’Raven Clark.

Cowboys’ OL coach Joe Philbin helped draft Clark in Indianapolis and Dallas does have a need at OT.

The Steelers are releasing veteran OL Joe Haeg. Versatile guy who could be a quick option for depth for another team.

[Oldcolt]

Stallworth was our back up nose tackle last year. I keep hearing that we need to improve that position. Any takers?

[smitty46953]

I would take Stallworth over our current 8nterior D-Line depth.

I agree

[HoosierinFL]

I would def consider stallworth and haeg.

[IndyNorm]

I would def consider stallworth and haeg.

Agree with both of those. Also, why not bring Turay back and dump Banogu?

Looks like Mack is sticking with the Texans as a member of their practice squad.

The Raiders are hosting veteran OL Joe Haeg on a visit today.

A few teams in on the versatile Haeg, who was released by the Steelers after they traded for Jesse Davis.

[omahacolt]

wouldn't mind having haeg back


hope mack can continue his career

Agreed he is a solid and versatile backup OL.

Turay decided to stay with the 49'ers and signed to their practice squad.

Let's see how long he stays there before a team poaches him for their active roster.

The 49ers announce practice squad:

DL Alex Barrett

OL Alfredo Gutierrez*
S Tayler Hawkins
CB Qwuantrezz Knight
WR Tay Martin
LB Marcelino McCrary-Ball
OL Jason Poe
WR Willie Snead IV
DL Akeem Spence
OL Keaton Sutherland
DL Kemoko Turay
WR Malik Turner

[Racehorse]

Titans will probably snag Turay. They like former Colts.

Yeah, and they have a sudden need, too, with Harold Landry tearing his ACL at practice this week.

Haeg is signing with Cleveland:

https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1566431876717445121

The Browns are signing veteran OL Joe Haeg, source says. With RT Jack Conklin working his way back from knee surgery, Haeg provides depth at tackle and he can play guard, too. Haeg met with the Raiders last week but heads to Cleveland instead.

[Oldcolt]

I really liked Haeg. Ballard obviously not so much. Until he proves otherwise I’m going to believe in Ballards ability to scout offensive lineman. Only big mistake was Fisher. Ballard made a bet on an injury and lost. Like Wentz he moved on, I like that.

I think Fisher was Ballard's homer pickup as Wentz was to Reich. :cool:

[Oldcolt]

I had had thoughts that we should have kept Turay instead of Banogu. With Turay being cut by SF once again Ballard seems to know more than me. Imagine that!

[IndyNorm]

The jury's still out on whether that was the right move or not as while Turay wasn't great, he was head and shoulders better here than Banogu has been.

Hopefully Banogu makes a giant leap this year and becomes not completely worthless, but most of us have our doubts.

[Oldcolt]

I still think Turay and Banogu both look like busts. I had thought Turay was turning the corner.

[IndyNorm]

That's fair. While Turay has had some flashes when he's been able to stay healthy, neither is really much count.

Not aimed at you, asking questions about expectations

Just out of curiosity, what is the % of draft picks getting to a second contract with the draft team or their second team?

Drafting Peyton Manning seems like a no brainer, how many here thought Antonie Bethea would play 10 years?

Turay imo, is a disappointment, not shocked. I didnt think Banogu would make the team his rookie year.

Jerry Hughes was a bust for the Colts. He made the Bills look likes geniuses.

Jerry Hughes was a bust for the Colts. He made the Bills look likes geniuses.I think the rate for draft picks to make the roster is just a little over 50%, so making it to a second contract would likely be close to 35-40%, but that is just an uneducated guess from me based on something I think I heard about draft picks being a 50/50 proposition.

[Racehorse]

So, my numbers were off. For players drafted in the first three rounds, the percentage is above 90% of making the initial roster. Rounds 4-5 are about 70%, whereas later rounds are around 30%. The 50% number I referred to must be for rounds 4-7.
The same site I got those numbers from say roughly 70% do not get a second contract.

With where he was drafted at there was no way Banogu wasn't going to make the team his rookie year. And if we're being honest where he was drafted is probably the main reason why he's still on the team.

Jerry Hughes had a better fit there playing as OLB. He could’ve done the same here when we made the switch with pagano but he never got the chance.

Mack was released, then signed to the Texans practice squad, then cut from the practice squad. What is up with Mack, obviously there is something wrong, guy was too good to not even be able to make a teams practice squad!

Would you rather have Mack or Lindsey on the practice squad? I say Mack.

Lindsay is better than Mack now.

this is probably correct. although i would like to see mack get a chance to show what he has left

probably has to do with his special teams ability

[Hoopsdoc]

Seems like a good dude and he could have been more of a dick about his situation last year.

I just think the Achilles injury took his burst away. He didn’t look any different to me than Jackson, who the Colts seem to be weirdly in love with.

Lindsay is better than both of them.

One of the podcast guys said Lindsay played special teams with both Houston and Miami.

I wonder if they even asked him to.

That I don't know. What role would matter as well? He clearly seemed the better RB, but they didn't go with him, maybe they are just stupid?

Apparently Tennessee needed to bring their number of ex-Colts up to their required minimum with a couple of roster moves this week.

They claimed LeRaven Clark off the Eagles practice squad to add him to their 53 man roster and signed Colts late round draft pick Gerri Green to their practice squad as well.

Mack just recovered a fumble on the kickoff return team....making himself useful! The way Wilson is running the ball, not sure Mack will see much time at running back this season for the 49ers.

I dunno but he hasn't played hardly at all in 2 seasons. He lost 2020 because he got injured in the 1st drive of the 1st game. Then he lost 2021 because we made him inactive every week.

[HoosierinFL]

I saw Turay in uniform last night for San Fran. I guess he's been elevated back to the roster?

Yeah, the 49'ers promoted Turay to the active roster after Week 1 to take the place of DE Jordan Willis who was placed on IR so that Willis could go through a clean-up procedure on his knee.

Turay didn't play at all in Weeks 2 or 3. He played 10 snaps on defense in Week 4.
