considering the vikings gave up a second for him and we only gave up a third I think this is a very good trade for us

Just a friendly reminder that the last time Calais and Ngakoue played together on a D line they had 14.5 and 12 sacks, respectively. LETS GO BABY
oh yeah, thanks for the reminder

Why not just cut Chris Moore and activate this guy. I refuse to believe Dez would be worse than Boykin. Maybe equally bad, but can't be worse. And I'd assume he'd be a lot better. Imagine the offense with having a big bodied receiver they have to actually respect on the outside.

I dont know the new practice squad rules...would any team just be able to snatch Dez from the PS?

Even a 50% Dez should beat out Boykin fairly easily.
Also happy for Ngakoue, lets hope hes a good fit.

Everyone on this forum has been clamoring for this guy since last year. Really excited to see how he fits.
EDC is reloading for another run. Love it.

with the PS squad rules it makes a ton of sense - he's not played any live football since 2017, this is a way to ease him in and if he comes along quicker than expected then you can activate him on gameday or elevate him to the 53 when you think he's ready
we've only seen a tryout's worth of practice from him and it clearly wasnt impressive enough to get him a deal then so it was never going to be a spot on the 53
what this does tell us though is that he clearly wants to be in baltimore because he's willing to come join a practice squad to come and work to try and get himself back in the league
we can protect 4 PS players through each game week (must be designated each week) and we get to activate twice without him going through waivers - that being said he's still poachable on mondays after the game i think
but no team has signed him yet so its unlikely they would sign him of our PS at least until he plays in a game - and if he does well enough in that game to warrant interest then its likely we'd promote him to the 53 at that point anyway
i wouldnt worry about dez getting poached
It makes a lot of sense too as an extended tryout where you can even get him 2 games on the field if you wanted without having to commit to him.

Makes sense. I just want to see him in some game action lol and Chris Moore is literally useless.
