Yep, came a few years after we wasted a pick on a K, who’s been a stud in KC, to “not” replace a very expensive K, that we got rid of anyway, only to finally get another K as an UDFA 8 years later. We don’t learn that fast. Heck, Zavala is the only OL we’ve drafted in 3 years and that’s why the OL isn’t as solid anymore and one bad injury and we’re right back at the beginning.

Lloyd and a solid edge would do absolute wonders for our defense.

I think you look at needs. The you get to the spot… if some guy fell and is there, and is so much better than your need options you can do two things. Take him, or trade back if possible to better match your need guy to his value. Last year we didn’t see the right value in our needs at our spot, and went BPA because we had room for a WR. Worked out great. If it were a LOT there who was BPA? May not have worked so great

Yeah you’d probably want to do a big signing bonus small salary for Linderbaum in 2026. Icky’s 5th year is guaranteed but you won’t likely be paying him anywhere near what his extension when healthy would have called for. We have a year to play Icky’s situation as unknown. By the end of the season they should know how he is healing. You got G, ROT, even LOT still maybe, and off the roster coming for 2027 with him. I am figuring we have to draft a T high in (one of) the next two drafts. If not two Ts. There will be a lot of flexibility with Moton easing out of the picture and possibly Hunt. I don’t see how we keep paying that money for G but if we had two OTs on rookie deals, it could be worked out I would think.

Mike Kaye was on the radio this morning and said that if he had to say we go after it could be Devin Lloyd. Said he fits age and scheme we’re looking for. Man that’s who I would like to go after. https://x.com/gopanthers59/status/2024149119179043086?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

This is a good way of thinking. IF Linderbaum is available, I think you could justify swapping out Icky's extension money here and figure out LT & RT for the future. Icky ain't playing in '26 and if he does, it will not be indicitive of a big pay day. If he wants that, he will have to look elsewhere considering he only really stepped up his play this past year. I do see a world where Linderbaum is our center of the future, Tillis kicks Tyler's "big money" down the road a year to when he can finegle the futures of Lewis, Hunt and Moton. We solidify the middle (a problem we've had since Kalil left) with a 26-year old center, and spend the next two offseasons finding a couple of tackles and one guard replacement. I'm thinking Lewis stays at LG and Hunt is a post-6/1 cut in 2027. Hunt: $5.3M in dead cap for '27 & '28, but frees up $19M in 2027. Moton $7M in dead cap for '27 and '28, but opens up $21.5M in 2027. There's $40M in cap space with the release of Hunt and Moton. $20M for Linderbaum, $10M in dead money (Moton accounts for $28M alone in 2027) This still leaves $10M to play with next offseason.

JJ has career earnings of almost $17M and only gets on the field for a handful of snaps. I WAS a long snapper in HS... should have practiced harder!

Want more curling? A new pro league is set to launch after the Winter Olympics Future plans for the league include everything from sponsorship alignment to social media storytelling to betting opportunities. “It’s going to be different enough, and exciting,” Shuster says. “Nic and The Curling Group are really working hard, trying to make this not be a novelty.”

Nice. I remember a huge bet I placed a while back on Baylor football when they were Air Raiding it out. Over was like 71.5 full game, score at halftime was like 45-30. Touching a little free play parlay with my Gunners and USA today.

That's the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this.

I understand and agree with the sentiment. That said I think the definition of “BPA” differs from one person/team to the next. I know people say they draft BPA but have a feeling there is some rationalization to getting to that point. Personally I would have a formula based on raw assessment then look at other criteria such as team fit and roster impact (forecast number of expected game play, starts snaps etc…). Otherwise u could end up with 4RBs backs and 3 CBs.

Well when I look at the OL I see two OTs on rookie or journeyman deals n say, 2027 maybe 2028. I think the long term deal for Icky will be off the table. At a point the Hunt deal will be nearing or at its end. Depending on how they decide to approach it, this OL could be 60% to 80% different than 2025 fairly soon.

Always nice to cash it in the first half. Should have been +800ish with the Newcastle win.

At the end of the day, our #3 wide receiver will have to be just that, #3. Tmac and Coker both need to get their reps in to let them grow. No need to bring in someone who needs all the targets and isn't a security blanket or a first down mover. This is when a veteran receiver is valuable (Thielen) and won't need the spotlight. I would look at free agency at veteran guys like Christian Kirk (5.3 Million Market Value) Tutu Atwell (2.6 Million Market Value) Deandre Hopkins (1.4 Million Market Value) Keenan Allen (6.8 Million Market Value) Guys like Tyreek Hill, Mike Evan, Rasheed Shaheed, Wandale Robinson would command north of 15 million, which would be too much for a #3 receiver.

Another small one today that's looking solid although I forgot to add Newcastle actually winning the game lol. If I hit I'll probably throw profit on the inter game. Need 5 more shots on target in the game and 4 more Newcastle corners

BPA. BPA. BPA. I don't care what position it is. I know some don't agree, but that's life.

This is probably the best analysis of the situation. Sometimes in life, there is no right or wrong. Sometimes life just be lifing, and if you don't have the vision, maturity, or wherewithal to see the big picture, it doesn't necessarily make you a bad person. In my opinion, instead of being on the attack as fans, we should be glad that they were able to meet on common ground and communicate as brothers and fellow human beings. At the end of the day, the football of it all is not really what's important here.

Depends on the price tag. But as another poster has noted in another thread. We are not going to be able to continue to spend our way out of our OL challenges via free agency dollars. And we certainly cannot keep shining Dan Morgan's shoes like he's the executive of the year for doing so. Any huddler here could do that. And even if we continue down that path we are going to end up in the same boat when it's all said and done. When our offense is laboring to make it anywhere near the end zone and our defense cannot save the day it's just going to be a repeat of the same scapegoating as last year. We'll blame the DC we'll blame the defense for not winning us the game etc. Anything to divert from the reality that our FO has put us in these predicaments to prop up a bad pick.

Was coming back from work in NYC last night. Had live TV on plane, watched first 8 minutes of Tarheels, and then realized this team isn't worth watching without Caleb and while Hubert is the coach. Proceeded to take advantage of free vodka, watch Springsteen movie and forget the Tarheels exist until ACC Tournament.

You can argue ‘should’. It certainly could have been. And might be this year. You gonna complain if we instead sign the best proven C out there?

Was traveling for work the past 6 days. Haven't been on the books. On this currently.
