That is fair. But 2yr/$5 mil is not a big risk. 

I wonder if he is LB3 or if a Pratt move is coming.

Surprised it was so cheap. Most of his snaps during the regular were on special teams. He did have a nice playoff run though. Great deal for us if he’s even an average starter. I’m still hoping for a free agent guard

[RunKijanaRun]

Some decent moves. Team is not better at this point but it could be with a couple of splash adds. I just don’t think they’ll have the space.

Need OG, DE (x2, likely) and another LB.

Of course, the tricky matters of Chase, Higgins and Hendrickson still pend.

ADG to the Cards 2 years 11 Mill.... thank you for your service.

It is panic time for you, because you are a chicken little.

Being the 2nd best in a room full of poor edge rushers doesn't really mean you are "proven" lol. He has 9.5 career sacks. Even if he had that in one season, Idk if I'd be ready to say he is a "proven pass rusher"

I would guess LB3.  Im not sure they want to get rid of Pratt even though he says he wants traded.  While Pratt does seem to worry about stripping the ball too much, he does make some big plays for the defense.  Im not sure they get rid of Pratt unless they can bring in some other LB that is proven and could take his place, maybe someone like Dre Greenlaw.  Thats just my guess but I have been wrong before so who knows.

Broncos reached agreement with LB Dre Greenlaw, per source.

Greenlaw now rejoins former 49ers teammate Talanoa Hufanga in Denver.

5.5 million a year?  I would have never expected someone to pay him that much.  Good for him.

Mike Santagata, Matt Minich and Parker Blake (alongside others) have forgotten more about FB than anyone at PFF knows and potentially will ever know.

And I'm not taking their word for it, I am seeing their videos and the info the provide to make correlations and evaluations myself: apart from spitting arbitrary numbers at you and giving half-assed 2 sentence paragraphs, what does PFF do?

Furthermore, where all of these signing and news broken: on Twitter or on PFF?

ADG replacement most likely.

Greenlaw to Broncos.

I'm impatient for a guard but it's been a good first day.

[RunKijanaRun]

ADG to Cards. Which probably means Pratt is staying. I preferred ADG.

Ossai stays, 1 year, 7 mil

Actually got a deal done with David Mulugheta.

Good

I think he will have a good year

I'm on the fence about Joseph Ossai.

It is a very modest deal for a backup at DE/Edge. It is one year so it is a prove it deal for him.

I like bringing Ossai back. Due wish it would've been more than 1 year if only to decrease the cap hit. Really think 2 guards is the key to opening up are draft. Then finding a way to make the big 3 work.
