Welcome C Bradley Bozeman, from Carolina

[Lefty2SLO]

If Bradley Bozeman married Hannah Montana, would he be Bradley Bozeman Montana?

"Reaction! Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeee wanna hear from EWE, Helena! Light up those lines, Billings! Call on the Ladies' Line, Butte!"!

Only if his wife wears the pants in the family . . . . . . . . . . . .

[Charge!]

Vet center on a one year deal.

Good get imo.

I agree..... we still will draft a rookie, but it gives rookie time to learn if needed....

Anyone look up his stats from his time in Baltimore? That would be a good set of data points to look at.

Bet his QB held the ball longer than any other QB in the league.

Good point. Maybe the ground attack keeps the D-line on their heels a bit. Still, Bozeman gave up 8 sacks last season...ouch...maybe Bozeman is a depth piece and the Bolts still draft their starter...Trader Joe talks a lot about building depth...

The 29-year-old allowed eight sacks as he struggled under Carolina’s new blocking scheme. According to Pro Football Focus, that’s the most sacks allowed by a center in 2023.

Awesome! This solves a bigtime need and frees up some draft positions like most importantly CB and Secondary help, now we don't need a Center in the 2nd round. Good job Hortiz!!

U could be right, though Bozeman I see as a depth piece...still need a C, maybe now in round 3...

Nothing wrong with buying low. If he is beat out by a draft pick, not a big deal. But we now have someone who has been a multiyear starter, not a perennial backup. And we do not have to force a pick just to cover that position.
Let the draft come to you and pick talent.

Consider: What team was that? Was it a BAD team? BAD ROOKIE QB who takes sacks?
So did the other 4 OL.

Goes from Bad team to good

8 sacks to playing in the worst division in football.
You really don’t want to risk health of your golden arm qb. If you want to protect your investment go and get pass pro or else learn the hard way.

I get moving on from Allen was needed to create room. But they didn’t seem to have a plan to fill the space with good players…

He allowed 3 sacks in 2021...

Someone did. It appears if he is a student, he got an A+ for attendance but F academically.

centers hardly get called for false starts so it’s not a good metric for them. Maybe delay of game for not snapping the ball is a better measure?

Well, that's more like it...apparently, last season, Bozeman was learning a new blocking scheme...on the bright side, he should still remember Roman's blocking schemes from when he was with the Ravens...should...

Yep...like yer thinking Rambler...maybe a solid C drops to us in round 3 or 4...
