NFL: 2018 NFL off-season news & notes thread (Vikings sign Hunter to big extension)

[canwincup]

There are murmurs that the Cowboys are hoping the Colts make an offer to David Irving who has been tendered.

They want that high second round pick to have flexibitly in an Earl Thomas trade. I don’t know how much interest the Colts have but Eberflus may like him. David Irving is a beast but there are some concerns around him.

 

[Patty Ice]

Honestly, I thought Vaccaro would be a Cowboy by now but haven’t heard a single word about any team bringing him in for at least a visit.

 

[canwincup]

Ahh Vaccaro is really meh, he’s a box safety. Cowboys should be looking for a free

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Eric Reid and Kenny Vacarro and Morgan Burnett are still out there.

He's a playmaker. Which Dallas lacks.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I can't possibly imagine why the Browns went winless last year.

 

[canwincup]

I mean he’s better than what they have, but I’d much rather they go after a guy like Tre Boston.

Tre Boston is more of a box safety than Kenny.

Tre Boston is more of a box safety than Kenny.

I think Boston has more coverage ability, just from what I saw on tape.

Regardless they need someonr back there with Byron Jones moving to corner. Byron jones was okay but certainly not a playmaker

They should sign Eric Reid, who is one of the best all around safeties in the league. We know they won't though.

It’s a shame really, I’m a huge Reid fan. Also didn’t Vaccaro kneel as well?

God I hate my teams owner

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Yeah he did. Vaccaro's biggest issue is staying healthy. He is always hurt.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Reid is getting blackballed and everyone knows it.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

How so? His production and performance dropped in recent years

And as pointed out there are several safeties on market still and its not like Reid was not in NFL playing last year so not sure why NFL teams would avoid signing him

Among the safeties being blackballed

Nate Allen
Tyvon Branch
Reggie Nelson
Ron Parker
Mike Mitchell
Morgan Burnett
Tre Boston
Da'Norris Searcy
Kenny Vaccaro
Quinton Demps
Corey Graham
Jarius Byrd
Kemal Ishmael
Michael Thomas
Tj Ward
Darius Butler

I see a bunch of guys who started being blackballed around league here

 

[Avs_19]

Reid is getting blackballed and everyone knows it.

Free agency isn't even a week old yet and there are a bunch of good safeties still out there so I think it's too early for that but I'll agree if Reid doesn't get a decent contract from someone. He's too good to get low balled or go unsigned.

 

[Roboturner913]

Who would've thought out of all the free agent safeties this offseason, friggin Kurt Coleman would be the only one to land a decent contract.

 

[Roboturner913]

Vaccaro's a safety in name only. He's a nickel CB who tackles really well. But he can't play in space and blows asssignments in zone. He also takes a lot of stupid penalties and is injured a lot. He's definitely a playmaker and a good matchup piece, but I think DCs don't know quite what to do with him.

So a 26 year old strong safety who posted a pff grade of 81.1 and was ranked as the 10th best strong safety in the league by the NFL1000 crew is on the decline? Goddamn you need to learn how to properly assess football players but that would require nuanced thinking.

He can't stay healthy.

 

[sigma six]

Is it a foregone conclusion that Reid won't be back at SF?

 

[tony d]

Thought for sure Vaccaro would have signed somewhere by now. Will be interesting to see where he ends up.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Signings and activity seem to be slowing down around league

Will be waiting game in some of these cases between GM's and agents

 

[What the Faulk]

 

[m9]

The lack of movement at safety is strange, you have to imagine it moves here soon. Way too early to declare anything on Reid - if a bunch of the others sign then maybe something is up.

The Steelers will have to be grabbing someone here soon - Tre Boston still makes the most sense.

Read they haven't talked.
