Good news on T.J. We need as many corners as we can get since they always seem to get hurt here. Interesting comment about Likely from Starks!

I wasn't calling out Oweh specifically. I just meant that generally you can't go by much until you see them compete against each other or a different team.

I'm going to try and keep an open mind about this until I can see him do well in camp and play in some preseason games. I've been disappointed before about rave reviews in OTA's that fade away a couple of months later.

If he stays healthy, it will be another step up for the front office.

If he turns out to be the real deal they're saying he might be, the team will have added another dimension to their defense. We need a home-grown elite rusher to add more consistent pressure while our prime secondary takes care of their end.

Well, it's early days now but the initial reports are good. Good to hear about Loop too.

It is a reasonable deal. Team friendly and a nice bonus for Bate. A win-win.

We might not agree, but I understand what you're saying. I just think he'll eventually pull one out. I'd hate to think that a guy with so much talent would never at least be in a Super Bowl game. Granted, he has his flaws. They all do. But this coming year might actually be his best opportunity yet to reach the big game because of all the talent around him. Time will tell.

Really glad to hear this. Locking him up while he's entering his peak years is the smart move. He's been a good team player too.

Well the comparison is interesting but it's premature. Look how long it took Elway win a Super Bowl. Jackson is only just beginning the middle part of his career.

Well I really don't know who Harden is. Had to look him up. But, he appears to be an exceptional basketball shooting guard. Is that what you meant or did I miss your meaning?

I don't have Snapchat or other social media stuff either. Can you cut and paste what he said?

And swing passes and screens.

Good stuff so far.

He can be used in situations where he is gonna be the guy with the ball until he learns better blocking. It took Hill some time to learn it too. Although, to be honest, I'm not sure that Keaton has enough bulk to stop a blitzer.

That sounds like a smart move.

Yep...Mitchell is reported to be moving fast and cutting sharply, as he did when he was a rookie. He was a sensation back then, averaging over 8 yards per carry! He'd be a terrific change of pace back to supplement Henry and Justice. I just hope he can stay healthy. He had moves like I haven't seen since Gayle Sayers.

Maybe they're reluctant to send both out in patterns, preferring to hold one in to pass block or be a safety valve. Just a guess.

He has the right attitude and ability. He just needs more opportunities. If he can stay healthy I think this is his year. Ideally he should get an extension before the season starts. Then he has to stay healthy.

I think we get Kolar cheaply too. Likely is the key guy to keep. Andrews has been a classy guy. I hope, and think we will, treat him that way whether he's here or elsewhere.

If they might want him for the upcoming season and think we'll let him play out his contract here, why not trade now?

Yeah, I think they keep Likely. Not sure about Kolar. There might still be time to trade Andrews but I think they'll let him play out his contract here as you suggested.

We have a plethora of riches at tight end: Andrews, Likely, and Kolar. All in the last year of their contracts. We can't afford them all so who do we keep and who do we trade? Take your best shot.

It's a really stupid idea just from the point of view of potential injury. Shoot, Ar'Darius tore his achilles while conditioning last week.

I don't have a good feeling about this. I like the current idea where winning the division has meaning. And, I don't like it that if team A has beaten team B that the latter could be seeded above the former.
