I prefer Robinson over Brockers. Brockers getting a 3 year 31 million contract is bonkers imo.
OTC now has Robinson canceling out Zuerline so we get the Littleton pick back.It's 3 years $24 million with very little guaranteed money. The $31 million counts escalators (max value if he hits all his marks). I think I'd pick Brockers over Robinson. We'd get a comp pick back if we did that, and Brock is respected in the locker room. But I imagine we'll move money around to keep them all. It would be a bad look (and hurt us with future FAs) to dump somebody after agreeing to terms.
I hope they Nix Floyd’s deal. That was a horrible pick up and terrible value. I could think of 5 edge players on the draft that are likely to be our pick than have Floyd.
I'm not sure if they keep Floyd at the edge all the time. From what I understand Staley likes to send any of the Lbers (defensive players) on the pass rush. I think Staley has big plans for Floyd. He has coached him as recently as 2018. Floyd is considered an all-around player. He could play inside or outside in coverage as well as pass rush from inside or outside. I'm excited to see what Staley will do with Floyd who ran a 4.6 forty.
Leonard Floyd never blossomed into the pass-rusher we all thought he’d turn out to be as a top-10 prospect just a few seasons ago. Since he entered the league in 2016, Floyd ranks 67th of 76 qualifying edge defenders in PFF pass-rush grade and owns the fifth-highest percentage of pressures that were either a cleanup or unblocked. As said, the offensive line needs a lot of work, and that money could have gone there as opposed to risking it in Floyd, hoping he just needs a change of scenery.
This feels more like a Spags/Fisher move of bringing average players they used to coach to our roster.
The guy statistically has been average and the ONLY reason he’s still in the league is he’s pretty good against the run. Well, that doesn’t help when they pass 50%+ in a game does it? We just gave 10 million guaranteed to a guy that statistically only plays half his game worth a damn.
That’s a bad move.
P.s. he did the same thing at Georgia to.
