Yeah, on D, no pass rush makes that almost inevitable. It doesn't matter how good the back side of the D is. Almost any QB in the league can find a rcvr if he's not pressured. Hopefully, that will be Priority One this offseason and we'll also see progress from last year's draft picks. On O, it does seem that we almost don't have a plan when we get behind schedule. I know sacks and penalties derail many drives for all teams, but it seems like getting behind the sticks is almost a guarantee that on 3rd down we'll need 11 yards and do a check down pass to get 3 of them. So, what's the solution?

Absolutely would love this pickup. However, he may opt to stick with the Seahawks since they actually win. As an elite field stretcher AND top shelf returner, he will have a ton of suitors. Edit: I will caution that we ask our WR's to run block a LOT. Same issue that cost him snaps in New Orleans.

....Yea, it literally wiped the smile right off Reichs face. We are kind of in the same position as Shitsburgh, looking for a QB. They keep looking and trying to improve at qb but we just say: 'nah, we good'. The Dipper agenda keeps BY alive. To bad we didn't give Darnold or Mayfield that kind of time, They at least had the tools, skills and attributes of a QB. Its tough to win in the NFL, at least give yourself a chance.

In 2025, he accumulated 59 receptions for 687 yards and 2 touchdowns. Also had 2 return touchdowns.

Rashid Shaheed Born: Aug 31, 1998 (27 years) Height and weight: Height 6′ 0″, Weight 180 lbs Current team: Seattle Seahawks (#22 / Wide receiver/kick returner) Rashid Shaheed signed a one-year, $5.2 million extension with the Saints in July 2024, keeping him under contract through the 2025 season with a $1M signing bonus and $4.2M base salary in 2025, before being traded to the Seahawks at the 2025 deadline, making him an Unrestricted Free Agent in 2026. His initial deal was a 2-year, $6.185M contract with $1M guaranteed through 2025. Rashid Shaheed's scouting report highlights him as an electrifying, big-play deep threat receiver known for elite efficiency on deep routes, explosive plays, and reliable hands (zero drops over multiple seasons), though he's undersized (around 180 lbs) and needs to improve blocking and route running consistency to shed his "situational/boom-or-bust" label and become a full-time WR1/WR2. Strengths: Elite Deep Threat: Ranks among the league's best in air yards per target and yards per reception, consistently producing 30+ yard catches and touchdowns. Playmaker: "A playmaker" who excels at making plays downfield and adding a vertical dimension to offenses. Reliable Hands: Showcased impressive ball skills with zero drops over recent seasons, even making contested catches. Efficiency: Finishes high in metrics like yards per route run, demonstrating effective production when targeted. Undrafted Gem: A significant value find for the Saints, proving overlooked prospects can excel. Areas for Improvement: Size/Blocking: At around 180 lbs, he's smaller and less effective as a blocker, which limited his snaps in New Orleans compared to bigger receivers. Route Running: Needs to develop cleaner routes and better consistency in intermediate areas to earn more targets beyond deep shots. Consistency/Role: Often a "boom-or-bust" or situational player due to volume fluctuations, needing more consistent targets to reach WR1 status. Role/Projection: Schematic Weapon: Stretches defenses, creating space for other players and opening up the run game, making offenses more efficient. Fantasy Profile: A high-upside FLEX or WR4, capable of winning weeks with big plays but dependent on volume and quarterback play. Future Outlook: His value hinges on earning a larger, more consistent role, potentially becoming a true WR2 with more opportunity and development in blocking/route running.

A team that wants to win at any cost rolls with Young and Dalton for 3 years?

Trubisky would be a top 5 backup QB with potential for long term replacement stretches if Bryce gets benched. The issue will be price. Also a big fan of Allar late in the draft. THAT is the kind of injury gamble you take. Not in the 2nd but on a 5th-7th rounder that was formerly a top 2 round prospect.

Yeah, he isn't one of these top end talent/arm guys. He has middling talent and he's a bit of a headcase. That's squarely a 7th or later acquisition for him, IMO.

Most of those guys should be available in the 5th to UDFA range too. We have a chance to finally bring in a good #3 developmental guy or potentially a #2 upgrade.

I heard Evero was good though?

Canales is clearly tied to Bryce at this point. I think that's hard to deny. I would say Morgan now is as well. I don't think Tepper is an anything guy. He is a get me winning team guy. And now he is simply stuck where he knows reasonable time is now PR for his future hires. and I think Tepper did what every single owner would do with Bryce. I think the move to #1 was Tepper. He listened to the people he hired to do the job and they sold him on Bryce. So Bryce it was. He listened to the GM office.

Nijman would be one of the worst RT or LT's we have had in a long time. He is incapable of being a long term replacement. He is occasionally okay in spot duty. We had a significantly better backup suited to taking over the duties at RT/LT for longer stretches and not becoming a turnstile(like Nijman) in pass protection, it was BC. He is gone, however. I think any thoughts of jettisoning Moton are immediately null and void with Ikey out for 2026. Had you returned Ikey, Lewis, and Hunt it's easy to spend some money or draft capital at C and then perhaps look at cheaper options for RT. Now we are inna scenario where we cannot be looking at two replacement OT's in the same offseason. That will be somewhere between an utter disaster to prohibitively expensive. The best course of action is try to get a solid, older veteran on a one year deal to replace Ikey, sign/draft a long term C and hopefully find a future RT prospect(with some LT ability?) in the draft. This gives you a LOT of flexibility and leeway in 2027 if you opt to jettison Ikey or Moton.

Remember that Coker isn't actually a free agent at all. He is an ERFA which means we can technically ink at league minimum and he cannot negotiate with other teams.

IMO you only fire a coach for a few reasons 1. He isnt getting the most he can out of the roster/talent - can’t say that applies to Canales 2. He’s lost the locker room and players are checked out - I would say that’s not the case and the complete opposite with Canales 3. Team keeps coming up short in the playoffs with a Super Bowl level roster and they just need to make a change to see if a new coach can get them over the hump (think McDermott if the Bills don’t make the Super Bowl again) - Obviously that can’t apply to Canales yet 4. It has simply run its course and become stagnant and a change is needed (John Harbaugh) - Again doesnt apply to Canales

Forcing a coach to fire a coordinator is a common NFL occurrence. In this case it would be forcing him to fire himself from those duties.

News flash.. We sucked on both sides of the ball

I think that the Head Coach's duties during a game are to keep tempo up, handle issues that have arisen on the unit that is off the field, to manage the brakes/gas/clutch juggling and to cheerlead the players. An offensive coordinator, sitting in the sky box with an all-field from above view should be calling plays with some guidance from the HC. Canales can lead men but he has trouble delegating and, more importantly, he can become too timid. We need an OC who attacks and exploits. Not someone standing on the sidelines trying to juggle geese AND get plays in on time.

Andy Dalton wearing a ball cap backwards better not be the younger qb brought in either.

If Styles is there, I'm taking him at 19. If not, I'm looking hard at LT.

They played tired. No defemse.

I'd love to draft a replacement. He can start at LT until Ickey returns and then they can compete for the right and left spots. Moton is getting up there in age.

I watched Dan’s press conference. He said he wouldn’t be reckless but I was messing around on Sport Trac. We have 40,000,000 already without restructuring. Just a few restructures double that figure easily. I think he’s about to go on a spending spree. You can’t go backwards with Tepper. You can stay the same and be okay but I don’t think you can go back to 4-5 wins this year and expect not to get fired or have a seat that’s burning your ass.

Dave would rather be fired

Trubisky is available. Bills fans seem to think he will leave. Wouldn’t mind having him as a back up option. Looks like Drew Allan’s injury pushed him all the way down to rounds 5-7 which would be a hell of a bargain to develop.
