I like that there are a plethora of quality OGs in FA this year, I think thats where our OL is weakest and with our current interior OL guys adding just one quality guy could really improve all three positions. I also wouldn't mind taking a look at Riley Reiff, who at worst should be an above-average RT but has the tools to play LT.

"Colts could be a possible landing spot for LB Melvin Ingram. Ingram is reportedly asking for Olivier Vernon money (5 yers, $85M)"

Originally posted by Bearded14YourPleasure View PostI think that's a fair thing for him to be asking for. Very comparable stats the last couple of years, when Ingram has been healthy. A bit more than I think his production dictates but the market sets the price. The issue with Vernon's contract that I would hope Ingram is willing to be flexible with is the guaranteed money, with Vernon having over 50 mil guaranteed.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

As for interior OL, I can easily see them cutting Franklin, moving Slauson to LG, staring Teurk at OC and leaving Fluker at RG. Pulley backs up, and they look for a bargain basement vet OG late in the process. Fill in the holes with draft and UDFAs on practice squad.

I sort of get concerned with Ingram. Because all the talk about him last offseason was how hard he worked on his body. He came in looking a lot different than years prior. Did he do this knowing it was a contract year? Did he take things seriously because of it? He seemed to sort of underachieve at times for a couple of years. It may have just taken him some time to mature. Entirely possible. Its just something i wonder about. Will he get paid and stop working hard? He was a really solid player for us. And its not his sacks that make him standout but his pressures were off the chart last season. he put up more pressures than all his other years combined. Hes a very good run defender now. But if hes going to be the highest paid OLB in the league it may be cheaper to bring in a guy like JPP and draft a SAM. I have said keeping Ingram is a priority and drafting Thomas would allow us to play him at Leo and Ingram at SAM. But if we are forced to move on from Ingram and not willing to tag him maybe we get a guy like JPP for less. And draft someone to play SAM. Or use someone else at SAM and draft a different position. But i do like both Ingram and JPP and i think we have the money to sign one of them. I think JPP might have been 2nd in the league with passed batted down. Underatted run defender as well. But again i often wonder if Ingram broke out last year because he worked harder in a contract year. It happens. And im just gunshy with paying players big 2nd contracts.
I think it may make sense to tag Ingram. And try to work on an extension during the season. Hes going to ask for the moon. But i think he would love to be in the limelight of LA..

Maybe Tolbert takes one last contract away from family, for family?
