Welcome C Tyler Biadasz

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

I mean yeah of course it’s an upgrade to Bozeman, but a little underwhelming?

I wanted nothing but the best for Herbert. Kinda over trying to find a “bargain” at this position. Now we have to hope he is fully recovered from his injuries AND use draft capital this year on a future center.

I dunno, not super hyped about it to be perfectly honest. Will wait to see how the rest of our FA money is spent to get better picture. Hopefully we bring in the Bills OG and still draft Ioane or Pregnon. I would feel better about that.

IMO, it's a solid while unspectacular signing. It means that the Big Money will be spent elsewhere. The chances of re-signing Oweh just improved, IMO.

You can make the case Biadasz is comparable to McGovern.

Absolutely. Let's not mistake McGovern for an all pro center. I think Biadasz had a higher PFF ranking last year for what that is worth.

[Riverwalk]

Popper agrees.
Zion has to take a haircut. He’s simply not worth anything above 16.

Rest assured, the signing of Biadasz tells us Hortiz isn’t going to overpay Zion or any of our other FA’s.

Think about the next 3 years….$30M

Linderbaum, $22-25M for 3 years…..$64M-$75M….so potentially $100M total for one more year than Biadasz.

And rumor is Linderbaum wouldn’t accept Ravens offer because it all wasn’t guaranteed.

With Biadasz you draft a Center for the future. With Linderbaum, you’re locked in for better or worse.

It’s not just one year of cap savings for other players…..this is 3-4 years.

if Biadasz doesn’t work out…get another center. If Linderbaum doesn’t, you’re locked in ff’d yourself royally.

I think Zion gets more and I tihnk Khalil gets more

If Zion is 17 or under -- sign him -- if he is closer to 20m -- keep walking

if mack is around the mid teens - sign him

I have confidence in your cap chops.
These would be team friendly for sure.
But somewhat thrifty, maybe late, late signings may be our norm now. Sigh of relief. We have a center.

It is nice to have this crucial piece of business done before free agency even starts....at an affordable price to save more money for other signings...without even affecting the comp pick formula

[CanadianBoltFan]

Chef Hortiz is on it. He is going to have us in the position to take BPA going into the draft. That is how you draft contending rosters

[Boltx]

You’re a tough crowd Boltx! The Chargers go from the 40th ranked C to the 11th and you’re still not happy. I love this signing because Hortiz saves money for a HUGE upgrade at C and doesn’t count against the comp formula. This gives him money to fill out the roster and continue to upgrade the IOL. Let’s not forget that they got a new OC and OLine Coach. If Devlin was still here I would still be skeptical even if they signed Linderbaum. You know Harbaugh, McD and Barry ok’d this signing.

No it’s fine, he’s definitely an upgrade.

Im just a bit traumatized, the poor OL play I saw the last two years is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in my entire NFL fandom. Mostly I hope he is truly healthy because he’s a definite upgrade.

”I am easily satisfied with the very best” is my attitude towards protecting Herbert.

Exactly how you do it
You build up the floor in free agency, check the boxes - to allow free agency to be about talent, focusing on need - but still talent

So if Kenyon Sediq falls - he can take him
Or if he wants to trade back to get more picks - he can do that

My list was: Center, OG, Edge x 2, IDL , TE and maybe LB or CB depth

I get it Boltx

For me, with respect to the OL and especially IOL, there is a middle ground but there truly ISN"T a middle ground -- Hortiz has to put together a top half of the league OL. He knows, Harbaugh knows, it, Dean and John know it fans know, we all know it. Not this 32nd to 23rd garbage - granted, that would be better. But top shelf

Exactly. Draft Pat Coogan to develop. Keep options open. The way OL prices are going having Tyler at 3/30 makes good sense.

[wu-dai clan]

I would describe Bisontis, Pregnon as round 2 day one starters. Iaone, obviously, if there at #22. The stabilizing factor with signing Tyler#2 gives us options at weaponry and "bad ass" front defenders.
