Justin Britt and DJ Fluker. Saves them a combined $14.1 million.

WTF

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

We will find out the answer to the question “What’s worse than trash?”

 

[Cardsfan77]

Ya I would consider taking a long hard look at Britt here if cap allows. He might have a chip and take a discount to avenge his old team, never know...

Clowney

 

[Finito]

Clowney

yeah that’s the first thing I thought of

 

[football karma]

not sure what Seattle is doing offensive line wise

its Duane Brown and four journeymen

 

[slanidrac16]

Clowney. Wouldn’t it be cool to snatch him away. Can you imagine this defense then?

 

[HGC]

Running Russ into the ground.

 

[dscher]

Running Russ into the ground.

That guy deserves better. But as a cards fan I'm not gonna complain.

 

[Jasper]

Its been their philosophy for the past 7 years. Invest in the D, Russ can make do with a weak oline. Just invest in the D. Catch a few lucky breaks and favorable calls from the refs and the O can get by. 2019 was their luckiest season.

 

[SoonerLou]

If we had an off season program I'd think we would consider cutting Sweezy (move Jones to Guard) to save money as well. Kyler's not experienced like Russ to handle those kinda changes on the OLine yet tho.

actually this has not been the case the last two seasons. Seattle used to cobble together spare parts, but in 2018 and 2019 they invested heavily in Brown/Britt/Sweezy (18)/Iupati (19).

They had more talent on their offensive line the last two years than we did.

And yet Wilson was still running for his life.

Seattle did put together a good offensive line on paper, but injuries happened. So now they have hit the reset button and brought in a bunch of bodies to compete for spots.

Offensive line injuries are a league wide problem as these players are carrying too much weight.

I’m not sure why everyone is constantly talking about getting rid of Sweezy. He was the best and most consistent guy on our line last year and brings an edge. I know Pugh makes too much to get cut yet but I won’t his soft ass a bit.

Iupati hasn’t been good in years.

 

[sportznutt]

Saw a tweet that Clowney signed with the Titans.

We've seen that show here in 2018. In fact it was a journeyman and four used car salesmen.

No he hasnt.

3rd round

might be good

wouldnt this be like cutting Justin Murray now because they drafted Josh Jones? that would make me nervous

 

[Krangodnzr]

John Schneider has been AWFUL drafting OL. They have used dozens of picks on OL and like one (Britt) turned out any good.

I think its the Russ factor. He's dealt with a reshuffled OLine for years. They can risk developing a guy with Russ out there.

Sweezy was solid, but Pugh actually had a really good season compared to his other years.

 

[Proximo]

I don't really like the idea of Britt.

He is very marginal according to PFF, and barely better than what cole has done.

Either we are going to give Mason Cole a chance or not. He is still young enough he could be a long term answer.
