No! Brown is my favorite and he is allowed infinite hype pieces! and War Eagle!

But if the price is even they will pick the better team usually. That’s why we have to overpay some to a degree. I’m sure Hunt for example had lesser offers on the table. We just outbid the other ones.

I still think he looks a good bit better this year. He was playing through a groin injury last year plus our OL should be better this year. His contract is still not good, but I just have a feeling his production will be better. I don’t know if it could get worse…

Also throw in when you are a bottom tier team you have to take some risks and slightly overpay to attract some players. Unfortunately that’s part of it.

Sounds like next year doesn’t look to bad with all the dead money. That will do wonders. Of course that can change quickly. I think the main reason is all of the staff turnover. We keep trying to redo a roster from Rhule to Reich to Canales. Hopefully Canales works out…

All the waiver claims

We had to shed 8 by yesterday. We restructured a couple to shed around 2, but were still 6 over. I think they did 10 to leave some wiggle room as the season starts. Just a complete guess though.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/29089/miles-sanders Looks like we have a decent out in 2025 for him. $2.95 in dead to ditch the last 2 years.

Man when was the last time we only had a couple hundred thousand in dead cap money? At least that is kind of promising.

He just turned 30. Trent Williams is 36 and got a 3 year extension. 30 isn’t that old for a vet OL. Now I would not pay him after this extension (if offered) past age 34. If his contract reflects his play I’m good. Not top of the league but a solid starting RT salary. It’s nice to have a solid piece of the OL not to worry about. Plus he has had few injuries so far.

Yeah I don’t believe I mentioned a guy being good enough. I’m just saying our supporting cast for our offense was bad. That doesn’t automatically make our QB good, just lets you know he wasn’t working with much. I just used Baker on 2 different teams to highlight how bad it was. The topic I was arguing centered around people trying to prop up our offense and blame it ALL on the QB. He was part of the issue no doubt, but he wasn’t working with much. Sounds like we both agree. The whole offense was bad. Now we can sit back and enjoy the show and see what direction we are going.

I’m talking about a QB on a roster that immediately looked better once he left and even better the next year he was away. My point was the offensive roster was bad. He even had Moore and half a CMC. I’m not comparing Baker directly to Bryce. Just using him to show how bad our whole situation was.

If I may approach the bench... The whole roster was bad and is still bottom tier. Look no further than exhibit A- Baker Mayfield. On the Panthers he was downright unwatchable. Gets traded to the Rams and instantly looks better without knowing the whole playbook, get an offseason with the Bucs and boom playoff win. Oh and he had DJ Moore plus a CMC briefly... No further questions your honor.

Hey that was my draft crush! I still take his criticism personally! (Kidding)

It’s so crazy how much of a difference half a second makes…

Lol he was always a depth piece. Morgan "signing off on".

Yeah all of the waiver claims jumped us over it.

BC’s RB runs hard!

I always thought Johnson was better at run but I definitely could be wrong. It’s a bunch of young guys rotating until Wonnum comes back or someone takes the job I agree.

Jim is the one I can’t figure out. Dom is helping Evero and he did fine all things considered…

I’d guess it’s DJ Johnson since Wonnum is on IR.

I feel like he is a better NFL prospect.
