Interesting move. Thought they liked him. Stenavich made him more than just a journeyman. Started him at LT in the playoffs, over Nijman.

Very surprising move, especially with Jenkins injured, fans questions about Bakhtiari knee and Kelly/Patrick being a FAs, and Myers injuries the last two years and Newman's inconsistency.

The two certain things they had on the OL were Turner and Runyan and now they're just at Runyan.

The other surprising part is that this doesn't seem to be a large cap savings.

I'm thinking this is less about cap space and more about Gute belief in giving guys holes to step up into and Nijman showed well enough that Gute believes he can be the long term starting RT going forward, that or they can resign Kelly and Patrick for the same price as Turner.

I would be curious to know what others think…”fine”might be aggressive. I would say ‘decent’, and I am not sure they want to pay that much money for decent.
The question is, who do they have penciled in at RT? Nijman? Jenkins? Or do they think they can bring him back at a lower number.

Go Packers!!!!

Unless injuries bite them I see L-R Bak, JRJ, Myers, Newman and Jenkins. The biggest issue is Newman but rookies almost always are terrible. McCarthy would talk about wanting to see players take a big step in year 2. I think there is a lot of truth to that.

With Jenkins at OG still, as pretty much all the teams that have run this wide zone have a LG that was drafted in the top 2 rounds, LG seems to be very valuable in this system.

I guess Billy Turner didn't pass his physical.

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..
