Grigson's guys were all problematic in various ways or had been injured. Avery, DHB, that other guy. Aiken is starter level who was def just a forgotten guy in Baltimore.

Other guy was Hakeem Nicks. Brandon Stokley was my favorite WR ever brought in but I'm happy about the Aiken signing.

Ballard and Grigs both like them some TE's

Free agent TE Mychal Rivera is leaving his visit with Jets without signing a deal. Will visit with the Colts in Indy next. @gmfb @NFLonFOX

We need at least 3 viable NFL TEs in order to run the offense like Chud wants.

Brandon Williams smells like a ST signing to me; not a viable NFL TE.

I am not positive that his skills translate into a 3-4 2-gap 5-tech DE well.

Cheers,

This defensive system is supposed to have a DT position that is akin to the 4-3 UT as I understand it. He would fit that position fine.

I don't want Doyle's role reduced to strictly blocking again, at $6 million + per year either.

No brainer really, Luck vs. whatever hack the Jets are going to throw out there.

Good for him.

If he can stay healthy, I bet he does well

It was reported they tried to sign Poe, so it sounds like they DID try to go after at least one big name free agent. They may have tried to offer deals to others, we don't know what all is happening there.

Two very reasonable explanations for not firing Pagano:

1) It was so late in the offseason that the new coach would not have his pick of assistants. Also, it would be hard to put in a new offense when the QB is out the entire offseason.

2) Irsay could be stalling until PM is on board so that he can pick the coach.
