Long is 30, has had two ACL tears, is being released one year into a four year contract, and has not played a full season since 2010.

Moving on.

really ? not many OL play a "full season "- 15 games in 2013 is good enough

Jake Long, T for the St. Louis Rams at NFL.com

9 games in 2012
0 games in 2013

is NOT enough. You don't spend 8mil/yr on a guy that oft injured. When good teams pass up on their own players, it should tell you something. Follow their lead.

this link refutes those claims

Jake Long, T for the St. Louis Rams at NFL.com

I would not pay Long $8 million, however if he has played 12-14 games I would be interested, at the right price

bigant · 03-10-2015, 08:01 AM

I'm talking about Bulaga, not Long. I wouldn't pay Long but vet min with incentives.

A comparison:

D.JAX
2010 PHI 14
2011 PHI 15
2012 PHI 11
2013 PHI 16
2014 WSH 15
71/80 = 89%

BULAGA
2010 GB 16
2011 GB 12
2012 GB 9
2013 GB 0
2014 GB 15
52/80 = 65%

J.LONG
2010 MIA 16
2011 MIA 14
2012 MIA 12
2013 STL 15
2014 STL 7
64/80 = 80%

To the folks who want to spend $8-9M on Bulaga, I get it. RT is a position of need on which we have skimped in the past. If BB can stay injury free, having him as a bookend to and backstop for TW would be worth some good coin.

My biggest concern is his injury history. Two years ago, the Rams paid big bucks to a former 27 year old first round pick with an injury history. Yesterday, with the guy rehabbing an ACL, and the Rams facing a big cap hit and they cut him. Their replacement, the second pick of last year's draft.

If they sign Bulaga, so be it. I think they should give Moses the chance to develop. With McCourty off the table at safety (the position where I would be willing to overspend), I am not adamantly opposed to paying BB. I just would not be thrilled either.

Bro, who the F are you talking about?

Long has been a durable player in his career, 2014 was the only season he missed significant time.

I definitely would not advocate for 8M per year on him but you can take a look, for sure.

CRedskinsRule · 03-09-2015, 08:32 PM

The biggest problem is simple - it's hard to find GOOD tackles, left or right. I wanted Moses, and might have hope for him, but a Lis Franc, for a RT that depends on planting on his foot. Gonna be hard to get him going, and he didn't show a lot last year. So that means we need to get another guy. Maybe we get him in the second. I dunno, but what I think is true is that we need, without question, a starting RT, a starting Safety, and a starting NT, I think you hope to get 2 of the 3 in rounds 1 and 2, but you are not getting all 3 in the draft this year.

If we don't get BB I guess I am ok, but I think you need to bite the bullet on one of those positions, and pay the bucks for a "sure thing" (go ahead and kill me)
