They´d better find a way, otherwise the Linc will burn to the ground

But let's hope last year was a glimpse of what is to come, not an outlier. Yeah i am more skeptical of this move than most, it seems feels like an overpay for projected upside, but passrush is king, i suppose

For that price, I believe that we are expecting him to develop as a run blocker. This is exactly the risk in the deal. He's going to have to play more snaps and be more versatile to justify this deal. Howie is betting that Huff is just beginning to ascend. And we need Howie to be correct. I am a bit fearful that we took this risk AND make a luxury signing at RB when we have literally zero LBs worth a lick.

You lnow every year we ask how we gonna sign these guys, we got no cap… then..all of a sudden…free agent after free agent is signed and we as fans are like what the hell? Whyd we let some good players walk if we had this money. i stopped worrying about the finance side of things because they seem to be able to find loopholes and unicorns or leprechauns to open up cap space… reddick is a hell of a player on defense, utilized right(which he wasnt) hes a damn good weapon to have..and he wants to be an eagle…keep him here
March 12, 20241 yr I don't know much about him except he only started 7 games in his career. That's a huge gamble and a lot of $$. Surely they didn't give him that huge contract to sit. Sweat or Reddick will be on the move
March 13, 20241 yr Howie has done a great job in keeping this team competitive, but I think his position on the value of linebackers has hurt them year after year. Even when they get some decent LB play, he lets them walk in free agency. I know they have a lot of faith in Nakobe Dean, but they need a lot more......They could have made run at some free agents, and we all know he won't draft a LB in the 1st or 2nd round. So Fangio is going to be stuck with band aids at LB.....
March 13, 20241 yr There's no way they keep Reddick now with this signing. Huff, Nolan Smith, and Reddick all perform the same role. 1 dimensional pass rushers.

I think Reddick is pretty good against the run so I actually think with the Huff signing he has much more value now.
March 13, 20241 yr Productive pass rusher who is still improving. Can he play the run? We'll see. Overall, he's got a chance to grow into a terrific player. I hope he does.
March 14, 20241 yr Is Fangio going to run a 3-4 Defense? I heard on WIP someone talking about this as the type of D he runs.
