Benjamin to sign.....Mack out then in ?

Tour is much better suited to give you technical particulars.....I can tell you he was a 2nd round pick by the Raiders, when HUE was their coach.....his dad and uncle were both NFL players, so he has good genes.....was an academic all american 3 years in school, so he's smart.....has been a starter every year in the league....1 as a guard and 4 as a center.....and, though not as good as Mack, is a strong run blocker and more than "good enough" to step right in and get er done....(and for a lot less than 10m)(and probably wants to be here more than Mack)(just a hunch)

Agree...

Stephen is not early-2014 Mack grade and ZBS would not be his forte, but in a Power game compared to 2015 Mack, then the loss is minimized. PassPro should be adequate as well. Line calls??? Dunno, but flanked by 3rd year Bito and Greco, I would not expect them to be an issue.

Now need to retain Mitchell, and then we can add Dahl (or some late Day 2/Day new blood) and sleep well.

If Mack can't be re-signed, I like the Wisniewski option.

Tough mauler. Penn Stater like his dad Leo and Uncle Steve.

He's smart, 26, rarely if ever misses a start. Plug him in.

I was going to say "how long has this guy been around"...? Then I see that I am probably confusing him with his uncle.

Analytics says don't just throw endless money at players who aren't good enough to warrant it.

Can we get him to come out of retirement? We could do worse.

That's kind of the idea behind free agency isn't it?

Throwing or not throwing? If the point is to just throw money at anyone and hope for the best, it's probably good we're staying out of it. A few players I would have been happy with us signing, but mostly I just want to retain Schwartz, Gipson and maybe Mack.

Well I know you disagree about Gipson's performance last season, but Mack and Schwartz weren't great and will probably want great player money. That's all.

If your choice is paying $10 for 6 one dollar bills or 7 one dollar bills, take the seven.
