These pro players have someone they trust to have PT. Why is he trolling around? Because he is trolling.

That isn’t uncommon. I can’t imagine the in house masseuse community is all that large in Houston. I’m sure word got around about him, especially if he is the city’s starting QB. And once one or two stepped forward I am sure the firm reached out to see if there were other plaintiffs it happened to. Might not be a ton a firm wanting to take that on, they might refer any clients to the firm that started it.

What’s he trolling? Watson’s lawyer did his work and found out quite a few were after $. They all talked to somebody and those somebody’s don’t always remain confidential

You can figure out what he was trolling for on your own

To get back on topic, I would be interested to know some of your opinions on who we should bring in this offseason. At the very least, I think this is the year that Ballard might actually open the check book for someone (pass rusher, wide receiver or TE)

Edge- Von Miller, Chandler Jones, Fowler Jr, Pierre-Paul, Akiem Hicks, Jerry Hughes, Mario Addison, Anthony Barr, Hasson Reddick, Clowney, Emmanuel Ogbah, William Gholston, Solomon Thomas, Derek Barnett, Ryan Kerrigan, Justin Houston, Jihad Ward, Melvin Ingram, KJ Wright

WR- ARob, Godwin, Devante Adams, Will Fuller, Crowder, Hilton, Smith-Schuster, Emmanuel Sanders, AJ Green, Keelan Cole, Sammy Watkins, Mike Williams

TE - Ertz, Jimmy Graham, Gronk, Uzomah, Ebron, Everett, Jared Cook, Tonyan, Firkser, OJ Howard, Hayden Hurst, Evan Engram, Mike Gesiki

CB - Gilmore, Joe Haden, Kyle Fuller, Chris Harris, Patrick Peterson, Bryce Callahan, Jason Verrett, Kevin King

Given, a number of these names will be resigned by their own club before they even hit the market. Considering our funds are rather limited, and with our wide array of needs, I think we spend up on edge and get 2nd or third tier guys elsewhere.

Von Miller would be my first choice, but I like Jones, Hicks, Reddick as options to bolster our D in some way. Miller is a pro and has proven to still have gas in his tank and he might just be a bit cheaper given his age.
Allen Robinson would be my first choice at WR since he would cost in the 12-15 million range as opposed to Adams asking for 25-30. I would have wanted Godwin here but he's coming off a nasty injury and may not be ready till mid season.

I think we all could agree to give Ertz a one year deal, pair him with Wentz, and see if they can get some magic there. I think we likely draft a TE as well and likely push Granson into the lineup more prominently, even though he didn't really earn it or show much.

I think any of the listed veteran CB's could help us tremendously, but I would rather grab a 2nd or 3rd tier guy here that is much younger to see if we can develop him ala Darius Butler or Kenny Moore.

I also think we need to save at last 5 million in cap space this year for a QB. Weather that be Winston, Trubisky, Mariotta...I don't care, but we better be bringing in a vet to take the reigns if (when) Wentz screws up. Hell, knowing Wentz he might just very well lose the job to that vet in training camp since we all know he hates competition.

I feel/fear that ballard won't stray too far from his FA approach. He talks about winning up front a lot but drafted 2 DE last year that he is really high on, so I wouldn't expect him to sign a big DE FA. I would think CB first followed by WR. And that WR better not be hilton. I am ok resigning hilton to a one year low cost deal but if ballard does that and calls it good thats a big mistake.

Godwin could probably be had for cheap, coming off of injury.

What is Haasan Reddick's deal? I haven't watched much of him yet, but I'm curious. He doesn't have much of a stat line for his first three years, but the past two years...

2020 ARZ: 12.5sacks 16hits 15tfl 6ff

2021 CAR: 11.0sacks 18hits 12tfl 2ff


Clearly better numbers than anyone we have aside from Buckner. Just going by numbers, he and Buckner are fairly similar. But he only started 31 of 64 games in ARZ and CAR only signed him to a 1yr $6m deal. Anybody know why that is?

1 year prove it deal because of the sparse history of good production.

In free agency, I think you back up the Brinks truck for Chandler Jones and Terron Armstead, then go draft WRs and TEs.
