kkuenn 3,606 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Just wow. The free agency period has been the busiest I have ever seen. We will shore up defense in the draft and still have cap space and plenty if picks next year too. Going to be interesting to see it all unfold.

oldtimer 8,690 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 wonder who will be cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I guess Veach thinks he can flip Ware or West for a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer 8,690 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/8594/spencer-ware with a torn PCL and LCL in his right knee and faces a long, grueling rehab. This is more significant than ACL and MCL damage, so Ware could be facing long odds of being ready in time for Week 1 of next season. Turning 26 in November, Ware is under contract for a modest $1.45 million in 2018, the final year of his deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dksww 484 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 they don't have to make any cuts really until the 53 man deadline in pre-season. They can sign whoever and load up the roster with as many players as they want. these signings do not dictate who will be cut until then. Damien Williams has done practically nothing in 4 years so he is just for roster depth and training camp carries. He'll probably get cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefensiveMan 758 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Williams is 2018's version of Cj Spiller except 5 years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Williams is 2018's version of Cj Spiller except 5 years younger. So they had Spiller in for a visit a week into free agency last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 1 year 1.5 mill according to Rappaport. He was the 3rd down, pass catching type guy in Miami. Given the fact that we can save a half mill, I'd say West probably has the most to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pats have pretty much made a living out of bringing in random backs and putting them In roles where they are extremely effective. This guy clearly Isn't Hunt, I get it, but he looks like he's very fast, agile, has good hands and can add something different to the plate. Especially with him being bigger than Ware too. is a video of him In action last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with him being bigger than Ware too. is a video of him In action last year. I bet it's a competition between West and Williams in camp. But, as I've stated multiple times here that cutting West would save $2m so that could happen and Williams gets the 3rd RB spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 1 year 1.5 mill according to Rappaport. He was the 3rd down, pass catching type guy in Miami. Given the fact that we can save a half mill, I'd say West probably has the most to worry about. Almost identical size as Ware with his best skills (pass receiver and special teams) more like West. As Old Timer pointed out there's the real possibility too that Ware still isn't healthy because all things being equal Ware is clearly the better back.

MisChief-Maker 135 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Good tweet HERE about how better Williams is than West. Also looking at his stats he had a very good 2016, getting three touchdowns rushing and three touchdowns receiving. I also think it's worth noting that Williams will be working with our new RB coach who is highly rated with a reputation of improving his guys, so it's gonna be interesting to see how he does.

CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Eye test tells me williams is vastly superior to west. Hopefully ware will be healthy. Hunt, ware, williams would be a VERY strong backfield. If ware is still hurt i say use the draft ti secure our 3rd rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never got much of a chance as a RB last season, done way more as a punt returner. I'd be surprised If they keep him but hey funnier things have happened I guess.

sith13 1,746 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 They do? Reid talked about how impressive his progress was when they brought him up to replace West towards the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 We will definitely need some completion. None of the 3 blow you away and one may have to fill in for Ware to start the season. I am worried they will trade Ware. I like the new guy more than West or A. Hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palangi 788 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I also like the Atkinson kid on our ps better than west and hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am worried they will trade Ware. I like the new guy more than West or A. Hunt. I would be surprised with such a trade as Ware is basically the only bruiser type RB on the roster and that includes Kareem Hunt as well. That being said he's probably the only one with any trade value. Williams looks to be more of a West substitute. I'm expecting the #4 guy be either a young RB they are grooming (Hunt or Atkinson, etc) or going with 3 and spending the extra spot on a WR like DAT. If healthy Hunt - Ware - Williams should be enough for us and the PS guys always seem to be ready to come in and back someone up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
