Rams Signing TE Colby Parkinson

[Classic Rams]

Dude is a pancake blocker and giant EZ target and this is a great signing. No more red zone crap, jump ball FTW.

Did we get shafted?

Ask again in three years

Ask again in three years

I was genuinely curious. I just don't know about either of them.

I don’t either. I do like in Seahawks country and nobody seems to care about our signing…

Chargers got the ginger discount.

I don't think so.

Mods, we need a sad face emoji.

A fingers crossed addition would be great as well!!

And a shake head or roll eyes emoji. Just having the ouch one doesn’t give enough variety for posts which are questionable.

Nate Tice and Robert Mayes highlighted Colby in their FA preview, said good inline TE who can block and can do some catching, only 25 and may be just entering his prime when TE's take so long to develop and we may have not see the best from him at.

Shame on you Colby that man has a family! Makes sense with his blocking ability but still seems rich.

 

[AZRams]

Still want a facepalm emoji.

Memes are better IMO.

Serious investments in the run game today. Parkinson is a very good run blocker which we are missing with Higbee out and he catches enough balls to keep teams honest. I sense a pattern, protect Matt and establish the run. I like both signings

 

[OldSchool]

I don't know. I still want to see how Allen turns out; I think he could be Higbee, but better.

Why won't Allen get snaps now?

 

[OldSchool]

The Parkinson contract makes that Higbee extension look even dumber.

Because we knew when Higs was extended, which keep in mind was to create cap space last year, we knew he would get hurt and we'd sign Parkinson? Ok then

 

[Memento]

Why won't Allen get snaps now?

Because of Parkinson. You don't pay a tight end over fifteen million in guaranteed money to be a mere blocking tight end. He's going to be the starter. Will he be better than Allen? Maybe. I don't know if Allen gets more than backup snaps when you're literally paying someone to do his job for him.

It's the timing. Was no need for it at the time.

Seahawks TE Colby Parkinson getting buzz as sleeper free agent

Here's a name you probably didn't expect to see getting headlines ahead of free agency.

Dam... with the blocking skills of Kupp, Puka and Parkinson just getting a handle on the receivers gonna be tough. Ram tough!

The more I read about this signing, the more excited I get about it.

But like the Jonah Jackson deal, although I really like the player, and I don't even think the money is unfair, I question if we could have spent the money better elsewhere. Better deals seem(ed) to be out there, and still no help for a defence that really needed it.

Do we go almost all defence in the draft this year?

I like the direction the roster is taking. Puka. Jackson. Parkinson. Doctson. It's become a big, physical group.

Too much money at the TE position now. Wonder what this means for Higbee.

Yea currently our day one and two picks would go toward defense. And ironically that's what everyone has been mocking....so there may be something to that (defense being better players for our pick slots
