Plus Mims would have beaten him out in training camp and this fool would have just been an overpaid backup. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather be in good QB health. Becton is 25 and started every game last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Brown at 4.5 mill is a much better deal than Becton at 5.5 as he's a better player and cheaper. Plus he will make a better mentor for Mims than Becton would have. If Becton was signed, Mims likely starts week 1. But now he can take some time to learn from an experienced guy with lots to teach him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree he's a better player but that doesn't matter much if he's on IR by week 3. What is it you expect them to do with all this cap room? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of places to put that cash 💰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo Montoya Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 5 hours ago, T-Dub said: I'd rather be in good QB health. Becton is 25 and started every game last year. Becton hasn’t been healthy much before last year. He missed time as a rookie and played in only 1 game in 2021-2022. He also played poorly last year when healthy, allowing 12 sacks, 31 hurries, 47 total pressures, and committing 12 penalties. Dude has been a BUST. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK younger Jonah that gets hurt more but we still won't get rid of, no thanks. I don't think they've done enough for the OL, is more the point.

If they had signed Becton, chances are they would not have drafter Mims. Personally, I'm thrilled with the way it turned out. Mims > Becton. Plus, with the way the draft cookie crumbled, I am also thrilled with our second and third round picks. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 They still would have drafted Mims as Becton is like Trent Brown in that you can't count on either playing every game. Brown is a much better player than Becton. I still think it would make sense to re-sign Scharping or similar to have some interior depth. That would let the team cut Trey Hill and start Matt Lee on the practice squad. We know the 5 starters. The Mims, Ford, Scharping, and maybe Carman or Kirkland would be the 4 backups on the 53. They could move on from D'Ante Smith as well or he could go to the PS and bump Cochran or Gilliam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 ^ Boyd might have been worth bringing back at only 4.5 million. I think that shows Zac wanted to move on to a guy with 0 drops last season instead (Burton). 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alleycat Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Pretty sure the plan is Jones to replace Boyd, Burton to replace Tee. And hopefully Yoshi surprises and becomes Tee, and Burton because that 2nd/3rd guy X factor we've never really had. But those 4 on the field is pretty exciting, and I do like Irwin as a guy who can meaningfully provide additional opportunities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have beefed up the TE room for a reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I do. But even without him, Burton along with Charlie and Andrei continuing to grow and improve I still have a lot of confidence in this group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Boyd was never coming back, he made some weird statements about Burrow's contract to the media and his drops in big games sealed his fate. Boyd's in a good place though, he's with a HC that knows what he can do and loves passing the ball..if he balls out then he will be able to get a big deal next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
