    Good for him. Glad he found a landing spot somewhere. Personally, I'm not disappointed or surprised he wasn't re-signed here. I know that's going to draw the clanging of pitchforks. :lol:

    I personally think that between him and Wallace we resigned the right guy. Velasco was a nice fill in for us, but I thought that Wallace played a bit better than him once he got his bearings.

    Wallace got some love... clap..clap..lol ..Yeah, Wallace was a beast last year, he just needs to tone down on his over aggression and play under control a little more. Another player i'm looking for big things from this year...

    I agree, would've been nice to have him though since we keep on having all of these center and line injuries... Oh well maybe weve turned the corner and it's our time to stay relatively healthy.

    The writing was on the wall when we resigned Wallace, then extending Pouncey confirmed that we had no need for Velasco.

    Good for him. Personally, I was hoping that he would remain unsigned for good so we could pick him up again if we had an injury or two. But that's because I'm a bad person. I'm glad a team feels he's healthy enough to play now. He earned it.
