Jaleel Scott really blew it, huh?

Ehinger must have been really bad...
LS but no punter or kicker
Gotta wonder if he showed some good chemistry with Tucker and Koch and might be a long term option. Cox is getting older and if you continue to develop that...
what went through my mind - clearly they figured he was worth holding onto which would suggest he's better than your average camp long-snapper
16 spots too, so you can afford to hold onto a guy like that if you see something you like.
Now to see how long he actually lasts on the PS
now would be the time if we're going to i/r anyone to do it...
i know it's special teams but woof:

I’m a little surprised by not bringing back Senat but I guess we just didn’t see it in him.
this also doesnt mean we wont bring in anyone from outside the building but anyone we did would have to have 2 consecutive negative tests before we could have them in the building to sign them that's at least a 2 day process - the NFL changed the rules to allow the players who'd been cut to stay in team facilities and team hotels until Monday to make the process of bringing players onto practice squads smoother (without needing the same tests)
so we might see outside additions but unlikely for at least 1 more day or so
i mean there were only 17 players across the whole league who were claimed on waivers too - there's just not a lot of cross-organisation pilfering going on for obvious reasons
this is what good drafting and roster building looks like

And the reason why we'll never be in top 5 in cap space because we take care of our players who perform.
we've been more of a factor in free agency in recent years than we had been historically but I think we're going to see that decline for a while unless some of these guys decide they dont want to be here anymore
Would think it'll be a lot like this year where we identified the DL as a place that needed to get better and went out and focused there. Could see that being the case with pass rusher next year.
obviously would depend on what's available
we also didnt have that many high level guys to take care of this offseason - we got marcus peters done at the end of the year and tagged judon which meant we had cap to spare for campbell and brockers (albeit it was good we got that brockers money back even though he was a monster against the run in 2019)
2021 is weird free agent year for us. Stanley is really the only big name that I expect to get done. Judon is the other but I don't see it.
Bowser could play his way into a decent contract, whether that's here or somewhere else.
Skura should also do decently if he regains strength. It wouldn't shock me if we just went with Mekari though.
Otherwise, it's a bunch of older vets coming off of 1 year deals - Smith, McPhee, Snead, Wolfe, Griffin
I could see us re-signing Wolfe if he does well this year, but I think they'd lean toward moving on from the rest of those types.
and although he's not a free agent, I could see us ink Humphrey to a long term deal.
