2020 Offseason
Trade/cut
Andy Dalton
Cordy Glenn
Trade Block
Giovanni Bernard
Dre Kirkpatrick
AJ Green (After Franchise/Transition Tag)
Resign
AJ Green (Franchise/Transition) or 2 years 16 million with bonuses but lower % Guaranteed
Andrew Billings - 4 years / 5.5/6 mil yr
Tyler Eifert - 1-2 year 6 mil a year
Darqueez Dennard - 3 year - 6 mil a year
Potential Free Agents
Graham Glasgow - RG Lions -5-6 year contract / 11.5 million
Brother plays on team and Detroit oddly hasn't offered him an extension. One of the better guards in the league
Corey Littleton - MLB Rams - 4 year 14.5 mil
Cap casualty. Connection with Zac Taylor could be a selling point. Ideally want to pair with a run-stuffing MLB and move to SAM
Ronald Darby - CB Eagles - 1 year Prove it 6-7 million + bonuses
Coming off a terrible year combined with injuries. Tons of upside and can compete with Dre for starting role
Andrew Whitworth - OT Rams - 1-2 year retirement deal 9-10 million
Reach out with an apology in hopes he wants to come in to become a leader again and play with a young Burrow. This is very unlikely to happen especially at 38 years old and having to uproot family again.
Karl Joseph - SS Raiders - 2-4 year contract market value
No clue where his contract will pan out considering his option wasn't picked up and he's coming off an injury, but he could come in day 1 and compete with Shawn Williams
Draft
RD 1 - Burrow
Man, Myth, Legend
Rd 2 - Marlon Davidson - Edge/DT - Auburn
quickly becoming one of my favorite players in this draft he fits multiple needs for this team and offers future depth. line him up at 1 tech for pass rush, rotate him with Atkins and play him on the edge when needed. We need to start to transition to a world without Atkins on the roster and if he's there in the 2nd I wouldn't hesitate to draft him.
Rd 3 - Curtis Weaver - Edge - Boise
Curtis Weaver is a guy who should be drafted much higher but because he lacks that elite burst/bend of a true edge he will fall, but what he lacks in those traits he makes up for with hands, power, and production. I project him to come in as a backup behind Dunlap, but also just a rotational guy on both sides. This addresses a weakness before it becomes a weakness and solidifies our defensive front.
Rd 4 - Jordyn Brooks - MLB - Texas Tech
Solid all-around MLB who diagnoses plays extremely well and is a tackling machine.
Rd 5 - Yazir Durrant - OT - Missouri
The deep class will hopefully push him down some and we can bring him to develop at both guard and tackle. We have to keep throwing picks at tackle until one pans out
Rd 6 - Joe Bachie - LB - Michigan State
Lacks elite athleticism, but comes in as a high IQ backup who could possibly be a starter one day. Adds value with special teams
Rd 7 - AJ Dillion - RB/FB - Boston College
6'2" 250 pounds running back who is exactly the kind of short-yardage back we need that can also lead the way for Mixon. Should be a great special teams guy as well
