I tried to search schedule, and could not find the search bar. Anyway, I was wondeing if anyone knows why we play Tampa Bay every year in the last game of the preseason.

I think it might have to do with location or being somewhat close to us. So the NFL spends less on travel. We usually play Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Carolina as well.

Teams schedule their own games for the 4th preseason game. Perhaps the Allen connection to Tampa is why we're playing them again. Just my guess.

I feel like we have played them for the last five years

Allen knows where all the best hootchie kootchie bars in Tampa Bay are.

Road trip!

I sure hope we can take a shot at Tyson Clabo...don't know much about him, but it seems he was considered the Falcons best OL and he plays RT....one of our top 2 needs RT and Safety.

I would think this may be a game changer in priorities...I'd rather have a solid RT than a old and solid slot CB in Winfield.

How much would he cost us?....like 3.5M a year for 3 yrs?...he is 31 yrs old
I would think that is around what we are offering Winfield...except probably a 2 yr deal for him.
What do you guys know about him?
Is he worth changing our strategy to acquire?
It seems fans of most teams needing a RT are slobbering over him
Let the drooling commence!

Is there any reason they can't offer a contract that is backloaded so this year is a small cap number and it grows next year(s)?

Yes that can be done, but the FO to their credit has avoided doing as much so the 18 mil penalty does not keep lingering.

for one, I'd rather have Winston who is fits the ZBS and is younger. Clabo is a really good RT, but I don't think he fits the ZBS.

secondly, I'd rather have a player in the secondary and draft a RT and have Compton/draft pick/pashos/trueblood battle it out in camp.

[The Goat]

As much as we need a healthy starting caliber RT I hate the idea of bringing in another aged vet who may/may not play at a higher level than the scrubs we already have. But then if RG takes the kind of beating on drop backs he did last year we could well see another concussion or major injury. So ya, you gotta sign Clabo or whoever the best FA RT prospect is right now. Short of cutting Fletcher, any other possible move is probably worth it.
