Trade Dexter Coakley for some OL help

Yikes BJones seems toe be trending down every year.

 

[LouBrown]

The Hennessy injury really stinks.

 

[AbeBeta]

Geez, that joke never gets old.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Honestly, not a bad addition. I'm curious how he will look, but I like it! Not a bad attempt to kick the tires.

 

[Whyjerry]

These are championship moves

You literally beat Risen to the punch with this one.

Nice work

Looks like he was the only thing holding the Seahawks back from getting to the Super Bowl until they were able to replace him

Sounds like his brother Terrence Steele!!

They'll complain if we got sewell from the lions

Wonder what happened to him around the 2023 season. That's a pretty decent drop-off in play.

 

[Coogiguy03]

No doubt.

No doubt man that was hip I love this side of you!! Let's go cowboys

Tbh Terrence Steele’s peak wasn’t as good as Laken’s I don’t think. I’ll never complain about adding veterans like this if it means avoiding a Chaz Green type situation.
