He re-iterated how he feels about Kyle Williams and said him coming back will have to be right for Kyle, his family, and the team. Brandon Beane has been in contact with him. On Preston Brown, he said he was a big part of their defense. On Tyrod Taylor he said his work ethic is unmatched and that nobody can take away from him that he was instrumental in getting the team back to the playoffs and cutting him is not in the plans. On the future of the position he said they are still going through the process. He said the team is not as far along as people think they are and they are now turning their attention on the draft and focusing on the prospects as they have done their homework on free agency already. On Nate Peterman, he said his DNA is the right fit for the team and he will grow in year 2. The coach confirmed that Kelvin Benjamin, Zay Jones, and Cordy Glenn are all doing well after offseason surgery and will be ready for the offseason conditioning program in April.

He said LeSean McCoy is the running back for this football team and shot down any rumors that they are looking to trade him or release him because of his cap figure. He said he will be a big part of the team in 2018 and is healthy and ready to go. On the signing of Vontae Davis he said they vetted him well and has the size, speed, and experience they are looking for. He said the signing does not mean they won't try to re-sign E.J. Gaines. On Tyrod Taylor he said they have no problem paying him the $6 Million bonus and he is on the team right now and that his the plan. They are looking at every position though including QB. On the draft, he said he loves his draft picks and to trade up costs a lot so you have to be convinced the guy is the right one for your long term plan. He did say the vetting at the QB position is more thorough then other positions. On Kyle Williams, he hopes he makes his decision sooner rather than later. He Doesn’t know if it’s a matter of retiring or not retiring. We want him back if he wants to keep playing.
