Pass. Way too many injuries and too much attitude. Only way I'd consider is a low-cost lotto ticket on a salary that has a small minimum/guarantee...

You haven't seen Mandalorian? Pedro is a genuinely good actor, and everywhere lol. Not sure how you have avoided him to this point. Actor for...

TBH I kind of feel this way too. Marvel kind of hit a lul, Star Wars hasn't been doing anything, Disney stuff has just seemed meh and in general...

Andor Season 2 Like the first one, excellent. A good, timely commentary on both past and present cloaked in epic sci-fi, which is often what...

Been trying to get out to see that one but haven't had luck so far. Did see Brave New World on D+ though. It's not a top-tier level Marvel film...

That is an interesting quirk and better than a lot of the cross country nonsense we did last year. I also like the late bye, seems like we usually...

IMO it's the main reason we drafted him, he can actually be put on the field and know what's happening. Outside of that, I don't like him at all,...

Helps that we have had success developing some of them as well, they go not only to opportunity but to places they feel might give them a fair...

I like the Conyers and Henning pickups.

Lots of DTs going in the first two rounds. Makes me feel good about the Grant pick, getting ahead of the curve. I really like Collins in round 2...

And there is the guard lol. I'm not a fan of moving up in round 2 in general, but I do like player and fit. Can probably figure he will get the...

Round 2 starting!! CB probably the single biggest need assuming we are for-sure moving Ramsey. DT/DE could be possible as reinforcements for...

I mean lots of those Georgia guys are good, I don't like discounting guys just for playing on talented units. And frankly, I think Graham and...

Barron and Hairston are gone. High likelihood we take CB or G, both should have value players available and both are needs. Keeping Ramsey...

They were both very good. Reminded of the Clemson line that had Wilkins and Lawrence, both are excellent pros. Graham is more disruptive and got...

Kenneth Grant. Don't mind it, though some may see it as a reach. He's a BIG dude but moves well, can be disruptive. Booger McFarland says ceiling...

Loveland going above Warren, could be good for us if a team wants to slide above Indy for Warren.

Well there goes my hope for a slide lol. TBH I see 13 as being wide open. I suppose Barron has to be considered the favorite if he makes it.

Giants take Abdul Carter. I am happy neither Hunter nor Carter make it to New England. Will see if the Giants turn around and work a trade for...

Cam Ward, no shock. Jags moving up to #2 for Hunter (I assume). New regime coming out firing.

Agreed. But after that press conference Grier seemed like he was questioning himself a bit. Wonder if he zigs and just takes a solid player who...

Reports emerging that CB Will Johnson has a degenerative knee issue. This dude has had one of the worst offseasons for a major pick. He was being...

I think when on the field he will give you what he has, and he's not a bad human in the way Hill is. But he's now 3 for 3 at forcing his way off a...

Nope. He's just not a first round talent, and I want no part of the Deion headache. I would use it to trade back if possible, but I don't see the...

1) Cam Ward 2) Travis Hunter 3) Giants have 2 high end passrushers and could elect to go with Sanders. I don't think it's the most likely...

I'm not sure he has the mentality to have that kind of relationship. It makes sense from a talent standpoint, but not sure the player would...

The initial trades and the extensions are two separate things though. The initial trades weren't bad - Ramsey's acquisition cost was nothing and...

Anyone have thoughts on who they would hate to see going to our rivals? I ask because there seems to be an increasing chance that Abdul Carter may...

My biggest issue with Johnson is that he HAS to show he is healthy. He was injured virtually the entire college season, didn't do anything at the...

I don't think the trades themselves were bad, but the extensions were completely unnecessary and killed all flexibility. I don't think we would...

If he is actually making the decisions (notably the draft picks) vs. just being the fall guy, then sure. If he's mostly a figurehead remaining in...

For this coming year it's certainly asinine, but in the longer term it makes some sense. Big bloated contracts on aging players are being dumped....

Yeah hard not to see Champ Kelly in the GM role. Let Grier finish this offseason and take the heat for the reset year that's coming, then Kelly is...

You could argue Seattle for the same reasons lol. But yeah geography can be rough for the Phins. Really wish we were in a more southern division....

Yeah I'm totally done with him. Unfortunately, I'm not really sure anyone would be interested in a trade at this point, even for little to no...

Did we win with him last year? His negative attitude and off-field antics combined with the hit to production make his worth questionable. I'd...

Yeah I get that he's probably just here to be a short yardage guy, but I'd rather just pay for some beef up front. Mattison being one injury away...

He picked Wilkins in the first round, so it's not like he doesn't have a history. Graham should be gone but Grant is probably available. Harmon...

Gay is a decent enough addition at LB. Between him, Brooks, Britt and Dodson feels like we may be closing the door on Jihad Campbell. Secondary...

Wouldn't say no worries, but the question isn't IF he plays but HOW he plays. Hopefully the answer is ... well. Daniels is an excellent fit and...

Man I really liked him coming out of college, but I haven't really followed him since lol. Still between him and Melifonwu it takes away the dire...

Sounds like we are signing WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Unsure of terms. Solid third WR and a good complement. I wonder if this signals we are...

I've seen a good amount of Lions games and I like him but ... Injuries are a thing of course. But a one year deal at 4 million is fine. He's...

Minshew has been hot garbage outside of making his initial name in Jacksonville, though as a backup I wouldn't have panned it. It is what it is,...

So who?

Sound like we are signing James Daniels. A risk as he's coming off a major injury, but he's a perfect fit for the offense and if he's right he...

Yes Philly went on a magic run with Foles. That's a massive exception. Losing your QB is generally a death sentence and that's just how it goes....

It's a backup QB dude, you aren't bringing in Josh Allen here. You are either bringing in stiffs like Marcus Mariota, nobodys like Tim Boyle,...

Plus, if he's even decent, look how funny that would be and how mad the Jests and their trash fans would be. :chuckle::clap::crapstrom:

Yeah I found that interesting as well. Lots of speculation he was going quick, possibly to Carolina. Instead they went with Moehrig (who I thought...

I mean, you ask how much of the Wilson failure was Wilson vs how much was a grossly dysfunctional franchise in the Jests. People saying he's...

He definitely is, but remember that Jones was reportedly the favorite in San Fran for a long time until Lance's running won them over. McDaniel...

I mean it's still well under Jetta, and Chase's contract will probably be close or even above Garrett's. It's somehow both a decent value but also...

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/44184542/sources-seahawks-trading-star-wr-dk-metcalf-steelers Lol Steelers loading up at WR without a QB on...

I'm starting to really like the idea of Jihad. Excellent warhead as a LB and some nice passrush skills too. Versatile, nasty, attitude. We need...

I'm warming up to him, just concerned too many are attaching Brock Bowers' success to him. He's a good player, but it's a tough position for...

Lots of people pointing at the Philly D as a blueprint but their offense I think is also solid. They have a big, fast alpha in AJ, a good...

I think if you have a true elite sub 30 year old WR you can hand out one contract. But the low end elites and middle class WR contracts are...

Flores guys were just roundly bad. That said, Grier hasn't really been some ace either. The Cam Smith pick because he was his kid's buddy is...

Was before that IMO. Reports from all offseason were that he basically just did his own thing most of the time. No accountability, no leadership,...

Not if they go hard after Darnold. You can't leave that guy without some WR help and while I like JSN without DK the cupboard is bare. That...

I mean, also it's because how many people really watch more than like 1-2 games of even higher profile guys? Most Canes fans have probably seen...

Dubious about CBs over the age of 30, there can be sudden and drastic fall-offs. Contract would need to be cheap. The Bengals guy I'd watch is S...

He has more upside than Thompson or Boyle, but neither of those guys belong in the league to be frank. I wouldn't really care about a late round...

I'd think about extending Jonnu as well, but otherwise I agree. We are probably keeping Chubb this year, but I still think we would be better off...

If New England has ANY inkling that Milton could be a good QB, why would they trade him to us in the division? Why would a team desperate for a...

If your offensive line has major liabilities, it will get exposed eventually. A stout defensive line makes your secondaries' job much easier (and...

I'm not drafting a backup. Milroe is a clear high ceiling guy, but also risky and probably is going to end up getting drafted before our pick in...

Maybe we can bring in Fields lol. Steelers don't seem to know what to do at QB.

This. Aside from Sanders (who wasn't a Crossman product) special teams has consistently been bad to awful. Mistakes everywhere, unprepared and...

Same. Philly is just the better overall team and I don't think it's particularly close. The health of Hurts vs the health of Love will be the big...

Cool, so just so you are aware, when you post on a public board .... other people can respond. And they may not agree with you or may bring...

He's a talent, but also inconsistent and often a loose cannon. But regardless, he's not a free agent and I don't see a reason for Pitt to trade...

Saturday LA Chargers @ Houston Pittsburgh @ Baltimore Sunday Denver @ Buffalo Green Bay @ Philadelphia Washington @ Tampa Bay Monday Minnesota @...

That is a lot of JAGs, injury prone, and hard nopes. We seriously want to replace Hill with Diontae Johnson? If you want malcontents and locker...

Ross is many things, but a cheapskate isn't one. Saleh's DC Jeff Ulbrich and McDaniel also have history. That said, Weaver returning is my best guess.

Rooting for Detroit, also like the Packers. I don't want Minny or Philly. I want to see Buffalo and KC lose, but I feel KC in particular is...

It's largely been a talent issue, he is doing a lot with little. He's also considered a strong leader type, and both him and Ben Johnson get a...

I don't see him getting hired this quickly. Aaron Glenn is the guy you want if you want a first time defensive guy. Vrabel also getting a lot of...

They are the team we should be. Grier and McDaniel need to watch every one of their games from this season (especially tonight). They are...

I would oblige him. I don't even particularly care about the compensation. Arizona looks good.

Conspiracy - this is Ross' final year or two with the team before he either sells or cedes total control. He knows that a rebuild will not do...

Ravens are a helluva team, but that pass defense is gonna bite them. I don't think they can beat 3 elite QBs in a row with that. Not against the...

I like Waddle fine, but man passing on Sewell was a mistake. That dude kills people. They better be taking jacket measurements. That guy is a tone...

A team that can't execute and makes mistakes over and over and over isn't a fluke.

Who exactly is executing this? I don't really disagree with the sentiment, but it's not happening.

I was already out on Grier's roster, but yeah this game was an indictment on McDaniel. This team is a disaster. We have far too much raw talent to...

Tua is not Mahomes buddy. Nobody is Mahomes, he's a 1 of 1. It's why talented dudes like Lamar and Josh Allen can't get it done. It's why the...

For sure. Though I think losing to Sam Darnold was probably tough for their ownership and front office. :chuckle:

Hey, we aren't the worst team in the league, neat. That said, this team just looks so rough and bad. McDaniel need to clean up his offense, and if...

Why are we linking concussions to knee injuries?

There are a few issues with this though. First, the short yardage situations plagued us all year. We were able to overcome that in the first half...

Look, injury prone players do exist in all sports, but there is some serious reaching and conflating going on here. If you were wary of Phillips...

We don't generally talk about those things in the season unless it's regarding an upcoming opponent, a potential trade target, etc. We talk QBs...

You got to Peralta a bit though. Tigers took game 1 from the Astros riding 6 shutout innings from Skubal. They still used like 15 pitchers after...

That's because many fans don't pay a lot of attention to other teams and thus have only a cursory knowledge of potential replacements for coaches,...

Yeah I mean IF everything breaks our way, sure. But the bottom line is that we cannot expect to seriously challenge the Bills unless we can at...

The problem is that we have already all but lost the division and will have to go to some dump in round 1 like Pittsburgh, Cinci, etc. And while...

Anyone just see Derrick Henry house an 80 something yarder against Buffalo and wonder why, with all our speed, we can't do that against them?

I think a lot depends on the individual. But Richardson is a guy who looks like he attempts to make contact instead of avoiding it and, yeah, no...

Speaking of injury prone QBs, Anthony Richardson is out after injuring his hip. I'm not sold that he's actually a workable QB to start with, but...

I mean, he's a backup for a reason, he isn't going to threaten Tua. We just need him to be decent and give us a chance, something he has done...

Yeah I caught it on Peacock. My wife did a sub for the Olympics and then we were about to cancel but they offered through February at just...

After being 8 games under .500 and 9.5 games out of contention and deadline sellers, the Detroit Tigers have clinched a playoff spot on the back...

Hey man, The Fall Guy feels like a movie that would be up your alley. A decent comedy with some stunt/action type stuff, considering it's about a...

If it's not Huntley I don't know what we are doing. I don't care if he's only been here for 14 days or whatever, Malik Willis wasn't in Green Bay...

A big part of it is that most of this team is locked in - we are essentially in a 2-3 year window here based on all the contracts that have been...

Bills/Chiefs and Vikes/Seahawks for the championships. Lock it in. Seriously though, Josh Allen is really good. I'd take him over anyone not...

Yeah it's easy to forget Crossman in all of this, but he's garbage.

Contract extension is meaningless, coaches aren't salary capped and Ross has not been shy about throwing money around. If he is unhappy and wants...

I'm not out on McDaniel but this is a deeply flawed team and that's on Grier. The lack of OL has been a problem for years and he had the audacity...

You forgot to change your account it seems ...

I really don't care, that's not a play you try and make at this point. If you're in the playoffs, sure. But as a QB with a concussion history in...

Man I don't care, you just don't set yourself up for that kind of hit. Certainly not in week 2 when you're down big late. It was a horrendous...

Yeah ok buddy.

As a guy living in the Detroit area for the past 7 years and seeing Campbell come in ... he's been amazing. BUT, I also see a lot of Sean Payton...

This is kind of my thought. And of course it's somewhat dependent on when/if Tua returns. If he retires or at least takes the season off for...

Ok.

Didn't they later fire the doctor? And then 4 days later he gets another? I know the official story, but I don't buy it. As you point out, the NFL...

That was their task after last year. It turned out even worse this year against a, frankly, lesser Bills team. We either just don't have the...

Belichick was hot garbage as a GM, that team was the way it was because of Brady. The offensive lines were generally solid, but they also had the...

You cannot convince me it's not 4. That was shennanigans in that Bills game where it was called a back issue, there is no way that wasn't a...

The common thought is that while you can heal from them, it does increase susceptibility. Guy's already had like 4 in just over two seasons now....

I think the team leadership is going to be forced into a reckoning. By all accounts, the injury issue made this contract a tough one to get done,...

I mean, if he WANTS to play, really wants it and wants to come back, he will come back, he will get cleared. And this is a kid whose life has...

Well I'm done, not worth the aggravation. If you can't beat the Bill's at home you aren't a real contender. Just a pathetic performance all...

Thursday Miami Sunday Baltimore LA Chargers Dallas Detroit Indianapolis Jacksonville San Francisco New England Tennessee Washington Arizona...

Speaking of the Pats, it felt during the Brady era that they pretty routinely used the first 4 weeks as essentially tune-ups. They then worked...

I can't take the no preseason thing seriously when we came out like gangbusters last year with about the same amount of preseason. But that said,...

Eh not necessarily lack of preseason - we came out blazing last year in LA. A win is a win though. Buffalo was a bit up and down, they are...

I would personally disagree - I think McDaniel could do some big things with a guy like Sewell in the run game. And frankly, he would have been a...

I mean yeah he's not supplanting Thompson, but I'd still rather have ... a Thompson like guy to develop. If your down to a third QB that's pretty...

Yeah I don't see how Boyle is an upgrade. I guess he's cheaper. But he's been trash everywhere he's been.

Depends on the injury I guess. They kept him.over Ahmed so they think something of him, but he's another dude that struggles with injuries I feel.

Quality backups are starters. The rare few who are actually decent go to teams where they have a shot to start. Thompson, imo, is fine. If he...

Cutting Blake is interesting. I wonder who will do long snapping. EZE had potential, but man his hands didn't show up consistently while the...

Some surprising DL cuts. Gallimore isn't expensive, but iirc his contract is fully guaranteed and he was supposed to be one of our DL coaches...

Look, it's not just Flores, it's the whole Belichick tree. These guys learn coaching a certain way and take it to a new organization. The big...

Just for some context RE: backup QBs ... Multiple Super Bowl contention fanbases are going wild calling for new backups. We aren't in a uniquely...

IMO any player being out is not significant, the coaches get more than enough in the joint sessions, these games are exhibitions for the roster...

I'm not sure that "nobody wants him" is the correct take here. It's not uncommon for QBs, especially former/marginal starter types, to linger...

Cubs trading for Isaac Parades, that feels like a really solid move to me. I don't know a ton about those prospects, but it doesn't seem like the...

Yeah that's why I found the Counsell move so odd. You pay top dollar for a manager and then give him jack all to improve the team? Why not just...

If it makes you feel better, having Burns start over Skubal was robbery lol. The Cubs don't really make sense though. They are aggressively...

Did you manage? It seems like the graphicness kind of went in spurts, you'd have large chunks of nothing then a somewhat sudden and bloody,...

Saw Godzilla Minus One on Netflix since they put it up. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's definitely very different from the American versions which...

Heard leg something but precautionary and he was present doing cardio. No sense pushing anything in May/June. Interesting to see Liam with the...

A third straight year drafting a RB in rounds 3-4 and the anti-Grier folks might explode. :chuckle: I think in an ideal world, Achane and Wright...

I hate when people get lost in the minutia of "the source material" man. It's not a Bible. We are working with a totally different medium - Screen...

Yep. I kind of sum it up by saying they were the kind of movies that movies were invented for. I'm not sure they will have the reach of LotR, but...

We like to think of football players as automatons. They are not. This is hardly something to get worked up about. Eh, it may have been an...

This is basically the exact same thing Brad Holmes said about the Goff extensions after reports came out before the draft that it wasn't close.

I don't see how or why we keep Ahmed over Wilson. Wilson is a McDaniel guy and a very good depth piece. He's the tough runner and change of...

Yeah that was a very solid watch and set up nicely for another season or two. Wong and the GoT alums do a solid job and the rest of the cast works...

Meh, could be a lot worse. NFL definitely doesn't want us to get that 1pm sun advantage, but they need to give us prime time to do it. They also...

I'm a tad grumpy the league won't make the Bill's play in the 1pm heat, but give me a week 7-10 Sunday game in Buffalo and I'll be OK with it. I...

Yes and no. Most positions are benefitting and seeing big gains. He'll, even guards are starting to get paid. The big exception is RB, and that's...

Also, if the cap next year shoots up as much as it did this year, I'd suspect guys like Allen, Burrow, Mahomes, etc to be looking at adjustments....

Goff is still on his prior extension next year, that's why it is low. It will go up to like 18ish the year after when this new deal kicks in (. If...

No because he would not be available. Should the Lions have made that deal? Absolutely. Should we make a similar one with Tua? Absolutely.

It is small, thus a minority. But they are very loud. The point isn't to debate Goff, it's to show that there are always vocal minorities who will...

Buddy I live here. There is absolutely a section of fans who did not want to pay Goff over 50.They like him but do t think he is elite or worth...

He's also older, on his third contract and second team and was left for dead by the Rams. He was also widely considered a product of McVay and the...

FYI, Tua is likely getting at least 53/yr and possibly more, if we can take that Goff contract structure and see how it applies here. Not...

May need to wait for the June cuts to take effect, but reports were that we had approached a few IOL guys like Tomlinson about post draft...

UDFAs https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/04/27/2024-nfl-draft-dolphins-undrafted-free-agent-tracker/73486923007/ Can't say I am...

You can't just ignore success because a player "fell". Grier took the player. Lots of other teams did not. They all made choices. I think it's...

What GM doesn't miss?

Why the silly hyperbole, what's the purpose? And this draft says nothing if not Grier being secure in the job.

Brooks is a bigger dude, Wilson insurance. Wright is Achane/Mostert insurance. Salvon should make sure he's not too comfortable.

Why? We have no idea what the offers were. And based on Griers MO, he simply does not accept low value trades. It has to at least be equal on the...

Feels like this draft is about $$. They took two players with huge upside at premium positions. They may not play big snap counts this year, but...

I'm not dodging the question, I have honestly no idea. Many people on this board and elsewhere were crying about losing AVG, you think he wasn't...

It's not just measurables, he can play. The tape is there. You see the measurables translate. People are hyper-focusing on a single stat. Go watch...

Again, he's not gonna be a 3 down starter but he will play. Phillips can play inside in passing situations and then you have all 3 on the field at...

Chop will absolutely be on the field. Will he be a 3 down starter? No. Will he be playing and seeing the field? Yes. Weaver is a rotation guy....

I mean, clearly they don't believe Armstead will be in the plans next year. But that neglects this year. You can defend the Chop pick because he...

Loving the chant here, way to represent. There's the tackle.

I wouldn't be shocked by a trade down here, lots of good players available.

Between this and Wilkins, I'm starting to really dislike them. :2guns:

Not that it really has any bearing on anything, but the Edge we drafted is faster than the WR the Bills drafted. :chuckle::chuckle::chuckle: Ten...

Whoa, a non WR/DT going? Blasphemy! TBH I'm a little surprised the Eagles didn't go for a center, I wonder if they are moving Landon Dickerson...

Not essentially, entirely. 0 passes in the second half. His sack totals aren't impressive, but there have been more than a few elite rushers who...

Wow! Falcons have moved up to draft Penix AGAIN just to shove it in everyone's face.

Just continuing from last night lol. WR is one of our bigger needs, wouldn't mind seeing Ja'Lynn Polk fall but who knows at this pace. OL may be...

Keon Coleman to Buffalo. I'm not sure how I feel. Dude was absolutely balling but fell off a lot (FSU QB troubles did a lot for that). Kind of got...

He will play. Weaver wants to rotate guys even if all are 100% healthy. He wants guys fresh later in games and late in the year. You can line...

We aren't done building the team yet lol. Our biggest divisional opponent is going backward. Our second biggest divisional opponent is relying on...

Depends on what McDonald wants I think. As.much as Worthy was the headliner, reports were our people went to the UT proday primarily for Sanders....

I get what you're saying, but even "safe" players bust, and not infrequently.

Nah, the measurables blow Harris away. He has a ton of pressures, some refinement and those can turn into sacks. He has more potential in his...

Apparently Cousins is confused and questioning the Penix pick. There's also video of the Falcons GM doing what it looks like explaining himself to...

Worthy to the Chiefs, that should be fun to keep an eye on. Interesting to see the Bills bailing.

I want to see the league hammer Philly and Atlanta for their tampering the way we were. That was a ridiculously harsh penalty for what was really...

What is going on with Gooddell? Is he sloshed? Did he have a stroke this morning?

Grier and McDonald both love the position. Just think, any defensive player needed to appeal to McDonald more than Worthy's speed lol. Tells us...

New staff man. Weaver and Austin Clark have development experience and success. If it was still Fangio? Forget about it.

The stats/production weren't as high as with Latu or Turner, he needs coaching. But the raw athleticism is Cam Wakeish. Upside is through the...

Chop, I like it. Upside to be the best edge guy in the entire draft. He single handedly shut down the entire Michigan passing game to the point...

Honestly, lots of good choices here, very little I would be mad or frustrated with.

If they do, it just means someone else is available. Fuatanu, Quinyon Mitchell, Brian Thomas, etc. NGL, Latu's neck scares me. He was also shut...

I like that Dolphins logo behind Kiper's head.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The dream is over. :(

Yup. They misplayed it, badly. I'd be calling Jerry and seeing if he's really serious about the Dak stuff or not. Loving the QB run - Penix and...

He's a little raw but he can play. High ceiling. They won't need him to start but their OT's are both injury prone.

THE BOWERS DROP BEGINS!!! PUT IT INTO THE UNIVERSE!!!!!

UM fans get to cope with JJ being on a rival to the Lions lol.

Goodell is struggling man.

Keep other teams from beating them to the punch (Broncos/Raiders). Probably didn't have to give up much to do it. Jests only dropping back 1 still...

Vikes have to be coming up for McCarthy. Top 10 all offense, that's impressive. Hope the Jests didn't get much in that trade. Williams to...

I think it's ok for the player, but they just gave Cousins a big deal. They need a lot of help, especially on D and just passed on it all to take...

Oh snap, Penix to the Falcons?!?! That is .. something. I love the player, he's got almost everything you want except for some bum knees and a...

Would be pretty wild for Minnesota to go into the season with Sam Darnold as their starting QB lol. Jefferson would kill someone.

Biggest question I'm seeing now is how far JJ McCarthy falls. He has a lot of raw tools and intangibles, but was asked to do almost nothing at UM....

Quintessential Harbaugh though. As for the QBs, I disagree on Williams and Daniels. Nobody is a sure thing to be sure, but the raw talent on...

Good god: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40025710/eagles-aj-brown-agrees-3-year-96-million-extension

Based on prior 1-2-3 QB drafts, one of them will be really good and the others junk. I don't really care as long as it's not Maye. I feel him.

Not with the contract he's about to get. He has been very vocal about it. The only way we bring him in is if we move Tyreek out, we can't afford...

Next year QB class is an iffy one as well. I do think the Chargers can do the funniest thing ever though by trading Herbert for an astonishing...

Lions out here dropping BOMBS the day before the draft. LT Sewell 4 @ 112 and WR St.Brown 4@120. That latter mark will affect our negotiation...

No.

Rumor mill really starting to heat up. Chatter that the Patriots are willing to move out of 3 but won't take anything other than a huge deal above...

Late round QBs just feel like a wasted pick. It's just a wasteland, and the chances of getting a Brock Purdy are ridiculous. I keep hearing "the...

He is straight garbage. Big flashy arm and absolutely nothing else.

Yeah from a pure Xs and Os standpoint, Bowers would be a good fit and I don't think they could be really criticized for it. But when you compare...

Yeah it's an interesting draft. Slotting in Bowers will be tough - on tape and talent he should be a top 5 pick ... but he's had a weird offseason...

I do not think that is a great assumption. They have worked hard to remove those as "need" positions and Grier and McDonald have both been tepid...

I think the following are unobtainable: The big 4 QBs, the big 3 WRs, LT Alt, DE Turner. I'd rank the remainder in the order of how I would draft...

Maybe we move down ... but maybe we move up? What if Latu or Verse is still on the board at like 17 or 18? What if Bowers is sitting at 15? Maybe...

Lamm isn't a worldbeater but he is adequate. The interior is what killed us. Our quick attack and fast release system helps the edges quite a bit,...

We signed Lamm to be our swing tackle and still have Keion Smith as well so I don't think we are looking specifically for a guy to fill in at T....

More of a second round prospect than first, but hopefully this dope is off the board now:...

I see that, but dang we need players after getting nothing from the first few rounds the last few years. We have everything "covered" in the sense...

For me, the biggest issue with Mims is that he's not going to see the field this year. We need first rounds who come in and play immediately. But...

I'm not totally buying into the first part. Yes, there are some misses like Eichenberg. But he also drafted a guy who just got a massive contract...

TE's are a weird group, and in the top 10 that's a risky pick. However, nearer the back end of the first round I think it's absolutely worth the...

Starting to see Bowers fall into the 20s in lots of mocks (after he was mocked falling into the teens). Having a hard time seeing us passing on...

I don't watch Hard Knocks (then or now) so I missed that, but remember the uproar and always found it very odd. Like, dude is going through a...

Definitely do!! If you thought part 1 was full of stuff, part 2 just keeps unrolling and adding and expanding. Visiting the Harkkonen world was...

I always take comments like that with a grain of salt. If you loved the guy so much ... you would have resigned him. It's not like we payed...

Dune 2 Did you like Dune 1? Dune 2 is a must see. Did you hate Dune 1? Then Dune 2 is not your movie. Have you seen neither? See them! They're...

JPJ, Fuatanu and Barton are all immediate day 1 starters and likely plus players. However, it's also possible we look to take a tackle and stash...

The hell do we care about what Titan fans are saying lol. That is a franchise going the wrong way fast.

That comment was a waste of time.

I mean, it WAS bad. As good as Hunt has been, he missed a lot of time this year. Everyone but Jackson missed a lot of time. One of the things I...

He's probably starting C unless we make a June push to readd Williams. But it lessens the urgency, and also gives us flexibility. Same with the...

Owenu going back to New England on a 3 year 57 million deal. This guard market is nuts. At this point I'm in favor of just pencilling in either...

Gink was also coming off a big injury, don't forget. That may have played a role, especially with the status of the others. We will bring in at...

I'm going to have to significantly disagree with you Holland and Sieler. I do think you are underplaying the talent the roster has, but that's my...

Sieler, Ramsey and Holland, with Chubb and Phillips when they return. Let's see who they bring in during free agency and the draft as well. How...

Like you understand free agency literally just started, and the draft isn't until April, right?

It's possible, but also overly morose and pessimistic, especially prior to the bulk of free agency and the draft. Buffalo also losing a chunk of...

We lost one core player, Wilkins. I guess you can count Phillips/Chubb but both will play this year. You extend Tua because he has had a lot of...

Sounds like AVG to Minny on a 2 for 20 deal. Kinda wish we ponied up for that, but I can understand if they had injury concern considering the...

Wilkins to Raiders, about 27mil per year over 4 years.

https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/03/chiefs-chris-jones-agree-to-extension Holy ish, basically a match of Aaron Donald's deal. Between that...

Hell no please and thank you.

Chances are good that a good tackle is good at either position, but it's still some risk when swapping them around and does create a touch of...

We ran into the business part of the league here. We weren't shortchanging him or demanding home town discounts, but Wilkins wanted top dollar,...

That they have increased the season to 17 games and are pushing hard for the 18th gives the lie to any safety argument.

I was responding to a comment about Durham Smythe, he is the one dimensional blocking TE. I'm optimistic on Smith. :up:

Dillon is hot garbage. Absolutely hard pass on him

To be blunt, he's a one dimensional player. He's really good at that dimension, but he's almost useless as a pass catcher. I like the move quite...

No, we had the 5th pick based on our record.

TBH I'm more worried about post-recovery than the speed at which he gets back on the field. Achilles injuries can take awhile of actual gameplay...

Nah, let that contract expire - he's not a guy you want to push more dead money forward for. Nobody is making that trade lol. Realistically we...

Good for them, let's see it get sustained. Flash in the pan teams come and go all the time. Or maybe they lucked into the right guys, who knows....

I think he means it will give other teams a leg up to retain guys they want to retain. AKA, less free agent supply. The Chiefs, for instance, were...

What about them? All I hear is that they are frontrunners to trade for Diggs and sign King Henry lol.

I think I'd rather just take the hit this year and then be able to move on next year. Unlike Chubb and Ramsey, he probably doesn't figure heavily...

Probably depends on Wilkins. If Wilkins is back, we won't have the money or snaps Davis wants. If we lose Wilkins, then it potentially opens up....

I think we need to retain AVG unless he's really just trying to make bank. To be blunt, I don't think we will get Phillips back in '24. He will...

I mean it's not Masterpiece Theater, go in knowing what it is and that it's intentionally corny and silly. It's not Bond, it's not John Wick. You...

This forum seems to be dying off a bit. :blink: Saw Argylle last night. A fun spy, comedy drama flick. A bit of poking fun at spy tropes and...

Wilkins is interesting. It seems he wants the money more than anything if reports from last offseason are true. Basically, he was offered...

Good positional coach that is overmatched as a coordinator. Imo it's probably a net neutral on most positional hires.

Franchising Tua is likely to be a significantly higher cap hit than an extension. We had some tough losses to end the season and did the classic...

Baltimore guys are on a major hot streak here, and iirc he has familiarity with McDaniel as well. I wouldn't complain - he's certainly not a known...

Again, draft players whom will actually play and help us. Second tier QBs have some of the lowest hit rates, assuming they even see a field. Hard...

That would be a horrendous pick. Get a player who will actually play, please. It would be great if B tier guys like him and McCarthy go ahead of...

Babich was promoted by Buffalo and Evero's interview was denied by Carolina so those two are out. I do find it interesting that we are looking at...

There is still so much to unfold that it's hard to make definitive statements ... but trading down is probably what I am looking to do. If you can...

I'd say the Bills are elite, the Chiefs are a dynasty, unmatched at this time. The Chiefs right now are the Patriots under Brady, just a step...

It's annoying, but they are the new Patriots. At least we don't play them twice a year. Mahomes is just that good, he will always give them a shot...

The biggest problem with Martindale (aside from him being fired twice in three years) is that he runs a much different system. That means we...

I get that Staley the head coach of the Chargers was bad, and that included his defense. But Staley the Defensive Coordinator lead a Super Bowl...

But yeah I don't get Crossman still being here. Our special teams feels more like a liability than an asset.

Man let's at least see who the replacement is. He left because his family is all around Philly, he just wasn't a great fit here. Really seemed...

I think bad coaching is a big part, at least until this year. Barry did some yeoman's work. However, our draft picks really underperformed under...

He's also missing that we lost our LG (Wynn) relatively early. And while Hunt was back for the BUffalo and KC games I don't think he was really ready.

I have 0 faith in Claypool, he was a bum in Pitt, he was a bum in Chicago and was a bum for us. Soft and unphysical, no attention to detail, bad...

I don't think we need to overhaul the entire system here, nor is that particularly likely. But we definitely need to add more wrinkles for late...

We weren't healthy though? X and Holland, the entire DE group, Baker, Elliot was limited. Offensively, guys played, but were clearly not even...

What was the Niners' record this year when Trent and Deebo were both out for 3 games? 0-3. Detroit had a period where they were missing 2-3 OL and...

I don't see us as having "little prospect for improving" at all. It's certainly possible that we don't, but not at all unreasonable to think we...

If we never see either the preseason or in season Hard Knocks again I will be happy.

I don't see any way Wilkins is leaving this year unless someone trades a bounty after we tag him, cause we would absolutely tag him. There is no...

McDaniel is the architect. If Smith is offered a head job we couldn't block it, but I doubt he gets hired this season. What do you mean "as you...

Nobody is taking Armstead, but he becomes cuttable after next year. The Washington kid could start at LG and then slide into LT when Armstead is...

This would be my thinking. Getting to the playoffs is fine, get some experience and all that. But in your third year with a good roster you need...

I wonder - assuming we stick with Fangio - if we even bother taking defenders in the draft. He has a well known rep for not liking rookies, like...

Flores' record came through defense. Offensively he had no plan or cohesion and his staff building was horrendous. There were apparently multiple...

I keep stressing it - McDaniel needs to take a long, hard look at the running attacks coming from LA and Green Bay - those are both coached from...

I don't care who Flores wanted, his offensive ineptitude and bad attitude likely would have sunk them too.

I mean this is always such an odd argument though. Would you have passed on Burrow because he played with talent at LSU? How much talent did...

Our holograms can watch us finally get that playoff win in the year of our Lord 2116. :chuckle:

If Tua doesn't improve and McDaniel doesn't improve, then you are correct. But neither of these are impossibilities. In the meantime, you add and...

Yep, they are in an interesting position. A lot of what people are saying about Tua was previously said about Dak - unable to match the moment,...

I mentioned above that I have a variety of rooting interests - one is the Lions since I moved to the greater Detroit area 6 years ago. My parents...

Just turned 41 and I emotionally divested awhile ago. Sports are cool, but too dumb to put so much into. I enjoy and have fun during winning...

Cousins is a 35 year old coming off an Achilles tear that is 1-4 in the playoffs. He's a good fantasy QB but I've not seen anything to suggest he...

In the position we are in, it is change for the sake of change. Cousins is change for the sake of change. Fields is change for the sake of change....

DeMeco Ryans is challenging that lol. I will say, if McDaniel wants to move on from Tua that would be a supportable decision. Otherwise, most of...

Recency bias is definitely clouding some of the perspective here. We went 11-6, that's not a bad team. That's not a hopeless team. That's not a...

Regardless of how we feel about him, it is almost guaranteed that there is a handshake agreement not to go to an East team. IMO the one scenario...

Why is Kirk better than Tua? He's 35 and coming off an Achilles. 1-4 playoff record. Got beat by the Giants last year. And for everyone crying...

It's cable replacement. By next year, most of the important games will be on subscription streaming channels.

Too bad he only turned the ball over twice instead of 4 times? Does that negate what he said? I mean, that last throw could have been a bad...

Part of things are when you play teams as well. For instance, we got Denver before they went on a bit of a roll. On the flip side, we caught...

They won't miss the whole season, but certainly a chunk of it. AVG sounds like a short term injury, it will be a priority to get him under...

A lot of 9-8 teams. I don't think it's easy but also not brutal unless we get screwed by travel.

Tbh I don't care who we play as much as when. I want 3 playoff level teams in our first 6 games. I want the Bills game 1. Show us what we are....

The biggest issue with saying we need a TE upgrade is that most don't give good production in year one. Sam LaPorta in Detroit is a big exception....

Flores was a fraud. Any offensive success we have had was done without anything from Flores. Defensively, we have moved away from most anything...

Campbell learned and grew a ton under Payton. Much of what he does and is doing in Detroit are lessons he took from that. He also has some staff...

I think it's the opposite - McDaniel should consider handing off play calling duty, though not sure if giving to Frank Smith is a good idea since...

Nobody stepped up with Waddle on the bench. Berrios is just meh, Wilson was a total bust, Cracraft doesnt stay on the field and Claypool is a bum...

This. It's worth remembering he's not just newer to being a HC, but he's also newer to being a play caller and he's young. I think he connects...

This is me. It's just not worth it when it's almost always disappointment. Collinsworth does that to a player (usually QB) every game. I...

In general, IMO there is a difference between the "Ugh, not again, eff this" type of fan and the "I told you so neener neener neener" type. We...

Fair, I was thinking of Tindall and Smith and let him slip.

I almost turned it off after that stupid screen pass on the Bills first drive went for like 30 yards and the defense was looking trash. I kept it...

Well that was the season IMO. I wouldn't write us off against KC entirely, but also I would be moderately surprised at a win. Adverse weather...

It would be a huge failure. You don't have the season we had, the excitement we had, the talent we have ... and then blow a big divisional lead,...

If I had to bet, this is the outcome I'd choose. But I'm also just going to note that emotionally and mentally the Bills are probably on fumes....

I get it, but at some point the injuries are too much. These guys are starters for a reason. They get crazy contracts or first round pick status...

They have been balling out, but it's also been born of desperation because of the hole they put themselves in. It is very hard to maintain that...

Going to be super important for the stretch and playoffs, along with the offense not giving up easy/dumb TOs. It's just such a huge advantage, and...

I haven't bothered reading anything else on this game or any of these other threads. Suffice to say it, that ending was a team embarrassment. I...

I think it's kind of a fun midseason thing, but after a garbage loss like that, against the elite teams we are going to start hitting, rolling...

None of these games are out of reach. The Cowboys and Ravens are both GOOD, yes. But it's not like we some auto-loss here. Playing at home is a...

One could argue that Mike is a top 10 coach, but Tua has been elite this year. Hopefully he can remain elite down the stretch. We have some easy...

Do think Mike McDaniel needs to step it up here. Offense needs some wrinkles and honestly our short yardage situation is dire. But he's fine and...

I don't put it past professionals to improve and get better, and wouldn't count out a team because of something that happened years ago. That...

I can understand that take, but we have the potential to have as potent and balanced a team as either of the other two, and moreso than those...

Sucks for them but a big opportunity for the rest of the AFC. I disagree that the Ravens aren't a real threat - that defense is legit and I do not...

I largely agree. The big games is where McDaniels is lacking so far, it's the last resume point he needs. We can miss Achane for sure, but also,...

So then we need to stop using it as an excuse or crutch. Play better. Execute better.

Ok but that's life. Like, who do you think we will play in the playoffs? It's good to elite defense all the way to the SB. Like, it could be a...

And yet they refuse to make a move. If he can't execute, why is he on the team?

If you offered me yesterday that we held Kelce to 14 yards and the Chiefs to 21 points then I'd have taken it. The offense just couldn't get it...

The defense getting used to the system and starting to buy in and going from a below average to even something in the 10-15 range would be huge....

Anyone is beatable. Those NFC North teams are going to be problems. Cinci is blueprinting San Fran right now, and that Cleveland defense can get...

Giants SHOULD have beaten the Bills and Jests and managed to piss away both games. That roster is definitely not good, at all, but yeah Daboll's...

This, though I hesitate to predict blowouts in divisional rivalries. But everything is pointing to this being what SHOULD happen. The best WR in...

Gotta take this one. They are flying high after the Buffalo upset, coming into our place. Our guys need to be angry and just be physical. Set the...

They are definitely feeling the loss of both coordinators. Also integrating lots of young players on defense and some new folks on offense as...

The Niners are like scary good. But Dallas also seems to kind of suck. The defense feasted on two of the worst offenses in the NFL in weeks 1-2...

Giants, Jests and Panthers will probably be up there. Or down there, as it were. There are TEN teams right now with 1 or 0 wins. Some will win...

He's got a shot, but at 65 and over 50 games to go he would need to stay really motivated. Mahomes can carry him through it though if he really...

The Panthers might be even worse than the Giants fyi. And they are coming off a tough, physical game with Detroit. Take care of business. Maybe a...

If he keeps losing like this he might not have a choice. Kraft doesn't want to sit around waiting on the past to become the future.

Bills lose and breaking news: The Patriots are straight ***. I'm almost about ready to be nervous about them being in contention for Caleb...

How can you not see it? Who cares if our defense gave up 48 points (and could have scored more if they wanted), but this is all Tua's fault. How...

Just one part to a horrific gameplan. It needs to be a learning experience for everyone, including and especially Fangio. But really, execution...

The Pats and Jets are terrible. Just awful. Salah acting on the sideline like he knows the axe is coming, knows there is nothing he can do and...

I mean, terrible loss all around. The Tua stuff feels misplaced though, just the rats coming out of the woodwork. The Bills put us behind the...

i mean, we all got a chuckle at that weird Bills MNF game against the Jests ... but overall they are the second highest scoring team behind us and...

Not really. It's in Buffalo, and they are also rolling. They also have historically been good in the last few years while we are new money to a...

Here's an interesting one ... apparently we set the record for number of voices silenced.

I can't believe it took Tua this long to have a 70 point game. And you know what? I bet he can't do this consistently. BUST!!!

The arm was definitely an issue his first two years, which was probably somewhat a result of the Alabama hip injury - both in terms of the time he...

This - I'm just not sure who else is around. Robbie Gould is lurking but wants to stay in the midwest for family. Brett Maher has a big leg, but...

They already went through tough times in his first year and a half and have continued to respond. After a 1-6 start they finished like 8-2 last...

Every week? No. Nobody does that. But it's seriously time to stop - his contract situation was entirely and completely down to health concerns....

He's not the playcaller, and that particular game situation he made the right call. It was gonna be fourth and 1, not 3, and the Chiefs had gone...

He is the guy who wants us to get Carson Wentz or Matt Ryan lol.

Incentives count for the cap regardless of realism. That's a heavy hit for the position. He might be a big piece for them. Or he might be...

Spending almost 9 mil on Cook tells me the Jets don't think Hall is going to have a good year coming off that ACL. That and Rogers is a 1-2 year...

Matt Ryan? Carson Wentz?!?! Jfc almighty.

Backup QB is just the worst position to deal with. We thought we signed an "ace" backup last year and he was a total dud and got arguably...

I mean, the Giants just signed James Robinson for a penny. Anyone thinks Gaskin is getting value when dudes like Robinson are desperate just to...

I'm not sure Gaskin has any real trade value. Maybe as like a late round pick swap or something. He's a non-value player at a non-value position....

Anyone seeing Oppenheimer? I am intrigued, but with a baby it's hard to pull the trigger on anything atm. Nolan does some fantastic stuff, but a...

Binged Netflix's new series Night Agent. Netflix can be hit or miss, but this was a definite hit for me. Kind of a political spy/crime/caper type...

Bro it's a pandering response to media hype from a New York team. C'mon now lol.

[IMG]

Cinci is overrated? They've been in the AFC Championship two years in a row and Burrow is probably the second best QB in the league right now....

Torrance is really the only guy who I think would have been a realistic choice. Maybe Steen (though he's probably a G and not a T). Ultimately,...

There are reasons the Lions dumped him, and frankly I was shocked to see them get a 4 (albeit two drafts from now). He's soft, he's injured all...

Devon Achane, I like the pick. Blistering speed but runs hard. Sounds kind of like Wilson and Mostert rolled into one. Not a big guy, but not...

I think the Texans just drafted a guy from that Key and Peele name skit. Juice Skruggs.

Chris Grier's kid plays for South Carolina - he's gotten a ton of scouting on this kid. Not complaining, it was the weak link of our defense last...

Cam Smith, CB from South Carolina. Not strictly a need position, but he's pretty solid. And he's a dude Grier knows in and out (iirc his own kid...

Both gone lol. Torrance the G from Florida, Washington the Georgia TE or Jones the T from OSU make all the sense in the world for us. Probably...

Taking another late round QB feels like a wasted pick in a draft where we don't have picks to waste.
