Ouch. Corey goes from having the franchise tag on a SB team to a major free agent acquisition for a very good team to a bloated backup behind a 7th round choice playing out of position. At least he has plenty of cash for his Double Whoppers with cheese.

Brock moving to DT may not be such a great change. Is he big enough to handle the pounding?
It is so hard to fathom a team with no cap problems in 6 years losing a draft pick due to not having enough money............even if there is a cap on draft picks.
And the FO is cheap?Pedro

What sucks is that the scouting department did a good job, and the FO in drafting Brock late in the draft in the first place, then they screwed up with the money, and lost him. No excuse for that.
And as far as Simon is concerned, what a fat waste. Of course, he doesn't have to worry, because he'll have a job working as the stay puft marshmallow man, or the Michelin Man when he retires.
Bunkley is going to be the player for us that Simon was about a hundred pounds or so ago anyways.

I think this kid even has a faster motor than Simon did when he came in. I am looking for a 100% turn around by this DL..........

What was/is the extent of BB's injuries?

You hit on the key point that stood out to me, Raheem Broak (Eagles 7th round pick) that we dismissed his release as no big deal is a starting DT and previously started at DE.
We screwed the pooch on that one. Ohh well, sometimes even the best teams (evaluating talent) can mess things up. hey, Joe Montana was 6th round pick.

I actually understand the reasoning/rational, the team ran into a delay in their original negotiations with Brock, decided to shift focus to other draft picks that were more of a priority (than a 7th rd pick) and by the time they came back to Brock, there wasn't enough money in the rookie pool to give him the SB he and his agent were looking for. Kudo's to Brock for trusting in his ability to take being released rather than accept a lower SB.
My problem is, I just don't like the results - that 7th rd pick turning into starting caliber talent.
