Team is becoming draft proof. This really could set up WR - TE - RB on days 1 and 2. Maybe Edge thrown in there

That would be cool.

I like the signing of Mike and am happy to have him back. I think he will contribute.

I just mean he is 3o with an extensive injury history. I like him as part of the group, not as a starter we are pinning all our hopes on. I would like to see one more good talent at WR from the draft to go into the season with.

well said, my view of Mike too. Happy to have him back, not expecting he can be that WR1 stud, so ... still need one.

Bozeman gace up 30 pressures. James gave up 17 pressures.

James has been a better pass blocker last few years.

James was an above average center in 2023. His 2024 was sidetracked by injuries.

Last year's LVR offense was a clusterfuck also, chaos and mayhem in all directions. I expect James is an upgrade. Not an All Pro, not a pro bowl, not team MVP -> just an upgrade. every step forward is progress - onward!

Yes. I love McConkey but if you target him 10 times a game he'll get injured. And Mike is the same. He'll get hurt with too many jump balls.We need another quality WR that can take the heat off McConkey a bit.

Bozeman had 1057 snaps
James had 702 snaps, missed 4 games.

We'll see, I hope he gets back to 2023 form.

Cant be any worse than Bozeman, who was not only awful for us in 2024, he was awful for Carolina in 2023. Bozeman has no 2023 form to get back to.

What is James best at...pass or run blocking?

I think it can be a major upgrade. As you say, not an all-pro or Probowler, but in the center 10-15 range. Being average there is good enough. Offensive line is about not having weaknesses more than having strengths (we are lucky to have 2 studs) and this signing should eliminate a weakness.

If it works out, I don't think he will be that hard to resign. He's young so this could solve the position for 5-7 years if all goes well. Exactly the type of signing we need. Especially in a draft without much depth or even star power at the position.

GOOD! Love it.

It is why an improved running game along with adding WR -X and TE is so important. But first, they had to solidify the OLine. And on paper, they did.
Now they can add the toys to the team

And a TE. Bad.

I am so jazzed about this signing period.
