Russ was irreconcilable with the FO but the trade haul has been fantastic. Brown is good insofar as we have Cross, hopefully he’s good to go Week 1 else I see Brown coming back (good business not to sign before we know what we got). Fant > Everett. Walker III > Collins. I actually liked Pocic as his price, but Blythe knows the Waldron system, so okay.
I’d put Bobby in the ‘sad’ rather than ‘good’ to see him go, but in cold business terms he isn’t worth $20m now. Nkemdiche and Hyder didn’t do anything to warrant coming back. Still miffed we let Reed walk, irrespective of getting Burns and the CBs in the draft. Green? Guess he doesn’t fit the new scheme. Dunlap I think might come back, and want him to obviously if there was a KNJ or injury-shaped hole for his lack of production for most of the season.
Overall though, with the off-season optimism engine on full, it’s a good thing we’ve lost those snaps. Getting younger, getting hungrier!
I guess we could roll with Cross backed up by Forsythe, but that’s a total of 14 snaps at the position. I’m with you though, much prefer Brown not to be back, for all the right reasons.
Green was joint sack leader last year (6.5), was really cheap and turned 25 today. Just too soon to say he has peaked.
Let’s see…we have Ford, Woods, Taylor, Brooks, Barton, Simpson, Reid, Diggs, Adams, and Brown. Now granted Reid wasn’t a starter at the first of the year but he played a lot of snaps. So looks like you got a few guys on your poop list. I’d be curious to see that. . . .
Duane Brown is still available!

I don’t see Brown coming back under any circumstances. Cross would have to be truly awful to not be the Week 1 starter.
Given the contract Green signed (1/$3.25M), the Hawks must not have wanted him too badly. Besides scheme, he never developed his potential.

Thanks, I thought they would keep him as he is so young. Maybe the $$$ were to high
Without knowing anything about the 2022 Hawks, one could tell from the QB, C, and RG snap counts alone that the team had problems.

One question did Green and Brown sign elsewhere? It is a whole new look defense but for 5 I can think of.
Green signed with Houston. I think Brown is still available.
Brown should have an asterisk against him too, yes
