So you want to shoehorn yourself into drafting OT and LB in the 1st and 2nd? Great way to end up reaching out of desperation.

from the draft sites it looks like romeo is roughly 2nd, Barber 3/4 range and Huskey looks like a late round flyer at best. Again I dont recall ever watching maryland this season so I cannot speak to his game but Barber and Height would be pretty good fits at the right draft spot but Height is just not a big dude and will probably struggle in the nfl

^^^ 1. I dont know much about Huskey but his size and stats seems good 2. Barber is the anti Icky. Hes really good at pass pro and really quick and handles speed rushers well but not really strong enough for a dominate run game 3. I love Romellos game but hes not really a big dude and this may make him a one trick pony in the nfl

A lot is going to depend on how much cap space we can muster up. Right now, we don’t have as much as we thought. We’re going to have to restructure, extend, and/or cut a number of guys. We should use that money to go after ILBs and an OLB. We can take care of the rest of our needs via draft.

getting rid of Evero is like trying to flick a sticky booger off of your finger

I think signing Coker long term now (since you are not signing Ickey) makes sense, based on his production numbers. If he balls out next year, you could be looking in the $15m range for a player you could have much cheaper. If you wait until you have to make decisions about a healthy Ickey and then QB, you could lose Coker. (I have not looked at contract details etc. so my math could be off--but where I sit now, it seems to me this is obvious: Coker seems to have a future--solid hands, can get open, etc. His production (less that 400 yards) is probably far less than he will have next year etc.)

I completely disagree. If one is 20 years old and doesn't have the sense to understand what a contract is, shouldn't be signing them. And from what I understand, these guys have agents advising them. Once the contract is signed, both the school and the individual signing should be bound by it as long as it follows the law. Otherwise, what is the point of the contract?

1. Have to draft Ickey's replacement in the 1st or 2nd round, high chance he will never be the same and he wasn't dominant to begin with. 2. Yes - pay him before he gets more expensive. Right now, he can be had reasonably cheap given that he still needs to prove he can stay healthy and have a full season of WR2 production. 3. I think you keep him on the roster and see if he is willing to work and improve. If he doesn't you simply don't pick up his 5th year option after this year. 4. See #1 5. Draft best available in either 1st or 2nd round. 6. I think RB room is set, hopefully Brooks shows promise and takes over half the carries. maybe draft another one in the late rounds 4-5 for depth.

How about 60 mins of hockey vs 2. Get that win boys.

I agree the officiating tends to be bad but for what's it worth, I felt like the Panthers-Rams game was one of the most solidly officiated games I can remember in a long time.

They are obviously waiting on for someone o the Seahawks or Patriots staff. If they wanted Evero, it would be a done deal already. The only silver lining is if the guy they are waiting for turns them down. In that instance I do think Evero is their backup plan.

Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff. Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense. The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.

1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too. 2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money. 3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard. 5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly. 6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.

I've grown to enjoy Mike & Tripp, even more so after listening to the ESPN, TNT, TBS hacks who, for whatever reason, seemingly don't know dick about the Canes.

Great point on Edge. Should have clocked that.

NFL teams are reportedly projected to gain at least $22 million in cap space ahead of the 2026 season. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Friday that the NFL has informed clubs that the 2026 salary cap is projected to be in the range from $301.2 million to $305.7 million. Teams operated last season under a $279.2 million salary cap. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25378860-nfl-reportedly-sets-2026-salary-cap-range-updated-projections-all-teams-ahead-free-agency

Seeing the diversity of answers makes me realize that they are questions worth asking. Some of yall answer like you are at the card table. Lol. I have no idea what they should do or will do, as several of the moves arent made in a vacuum. Should be a fun off-season.

FanDuel RSNs on the verge of liquidation. I wonder if this why the Canes had those random WRAL broadcasts earlier this season? Testing the infrastructure for when the axe inevitably falls...? I assume it will revert to ESPN+ for those of us not in the broadcast area.

If the cost gets too high for us, I hope he goes to WSH. I don't see them as a threat with or without the Bread Man.

I wouldn’t mind a trade for Panarin at 3, 4 yr max at the $10M AAV Range. Washington caps are pushing hard for him, I don’t know their cap space but wouldn’t be surprised to see them overpay. I hope the Canes don’t do the same.

People really need to understand what an ERFA is. Coker will get a contract in line with other recent better ERFA wide receivers

Reportedly turned down something similar in Tampa already. Im not familiar with this source though https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/buffalo-bills/former-bills-sean-mcdermott-nfl-job/
