Anyone's have any thoughts on Chris Long? Considering his age and injury history I just don't see him adding much.

If he's healthy and it's a short term deal he'd probably be a good add

That's impressive. But he's had s lot of talent on that DL with Cox and Logan.

Would love for him to force Hayden off the rostrr

Can't see Hayden here at all now unless some guys get hurt

Same here, I've never been impressed with him. Think his daddy is pretty much the only reason he has the reputation he does.

Come to think of it, that makes him perfect for this organization.

Ok so let's tie up some loose ends.

Weddle is being considered because he is from San Diego and he an RKG through a Norv proxy.
Thornton is a rich man's Hayden but getting another big beefy run stuffing double teaming 1-tech similar to Ian Williams or Rubin IS necessary.
And does anyone really know Chris Long? And the answer to that is: Yes I have known about him for years.

Long is being looked at by the Raiders as well. If he has a choice between us or the Raiders I bet he chooses da Raidaz even if it's for less money just to be able to play where dear ole dad played

His brother, Howie Jr, works for the Raiders as well.

Eric Weddle is down to 4 teams, likely the #Cowboys, #Steelers, #Ravens & #Raiders. Story: profootballrumors.com/eric-weddle-we… pic.twitter.com/BioyOnamP8

Broaddus doesn't think Dallas is really in on Weddle.

Of course his track record this off season is something like 0-30, so who knows

Which 1-tech would you go after if it were your choice?

I agree with you by the way.

thornton looks to be a lot more than Hayden plus as regards run stopping ability; and does seem to be able to push the pocket at least some. If Crawford finally lives up to his contract then we have a good middle of a D line.

I'd like to see him sign with us. Good locker room guy unlike Hardy. And if healthy he could be a really nice addition to our rotation.

Beginning of this offseason I figured we would take a shot at him.. It would be nice if Jerry can woo him. Byron Jones learning Safety from Weddle would be great. Plus, I'm so sick of safeties that can't cover for shit.

Mike Reiss
ESPN New England Patriots reporter


The Patriots are bringing veteran DE Chris Long to town for a visit and workout on Monday, according to ESPN's Trey Wingo. Long played the first eight years of his career with the Rams and would reportedly like to sign with a contender. The Patriots are deep at DE with Chandler Jones, Rob Ninkovich, Jabaal Sheard and 2015 draft picks Geneo Grissom (third round) and Trey Flowers (fourth round) returning. Jones, Ninkovich and Sheard all enter the final year of their contracts.

Welp, there went Weddle.

Last I read a few minutes ago said we were still in contention with the Raiders

The report said that he would make his final decision in 24 hours


Did something just change?
