I agree but say they cut him, that’s creating a massive hole on a team with a lot of holes. With Bryce going into year 3 of his rookie contract I say it’s worth spending big money on the line and building the defense through the draft and FA. We already have questions on center going on, and with the improvements being shown by Bryce, I can’t imagine we go backwards in the only strength of the team. It will be interesting to see how they handle it.

Is Taylor Moton. Let’s discuss this under appreciated, massive man. He has been as solid as they come his entire career and is one of the greatest Tackles we have ever had. It is crazy to think how solid he has been, and what could happen if he leaves us, yet here we are at a breaking point with his contract. he just turned 30 (still young enough for a few solid years), He has a massive cap hit next year of 31 million, we are already paying two guards top money, and have Icky’s contract coming around the corner. We cannot have a 31 million cap number for him next season, we would save 12 million if cut but would create a massive hole. If we extend him, we could cut down on his cap hit massively but would be spending big money on 4/5th of the O line (worth it in my opinion). So I ask the Huddle General Managers….what would you do?

This is an interesting topic. On one hand he is just solid and can definitely be upgraded, on the other we already have a ton of money being spent on guards and Moton, with Icky coming around the corner. You have to have someone drafted or come in cheap. One injury to him and it could spell disaster as it is such an important position. Looks like the best path is to draft someone this year or look for a cheaper vet option for backup at a minimum.

I trust Canalas. He had a reason to let him go if he wanted to, but knows the man behind the scenes, and knows he’s a good DC. People have become too knee jerk with this team. Constancy is what we desperately need, and by the end of the season, I couldn’t event name you 5 starting players on our defense once horn and Jewel were out.

He will go to the Bills

Nope. See are middle of the pack on cap and he will not help build the roster. Also seems like he would not be a leader needed right now on a team likely to not make the playoffs next season. Wasted cap for a team who needs almost every position replaced on defense

He’s going up like a rocket. Pointless to compare that disaster last year to where he is now. 275 total yards, 5 TDs, 123.5 passer rating, Major Swag, multiple clutch and big time throws…..that’s the only recap we need today.

275 total yards and 5 Touchdowns. 123.5 passer rating, and multiple big time throws. Not a bad day at the office

He’s making big time throws in clutch situations.

But his stats were low! Forget that he has 5 Touchdowns, he only has 195 yards passing! We should trade him for a 2nd round pick even though he’s only 23 years old

He's been putting some elite film up since the benching

And next season will be the start of his second year in this offense.

This thread is a good summary of our season.

I predict we hire Robert Saleh for DC and make him one of the higher paid coordinators in the league. Him and Canales have history together.

They are taking the same approach with Horn as they did with Chubba. He could have played, but why risk a long term injury that could keep him out next season for a meaningless game

This is the easiest decision in the world to pick up the 5th year option. Left tackles don’t grow on trees. You accept the option, and you pay the man after that. He’s been above solid/shown flashes of greatness and is only 25 years old. He’s only going to keep growing. He’s been improving while being in 4 different offenses during his career. Next year will be the first time in his NFL career that he’s going to have the same offensive playbook to go by, and we as fans often overlook this. Imagine learning a new language every season coming into the league in one of the hardest positions to be in.

Signing WR Godwin from the Bucs, Drafting WR McMillan or TE Colston Loveland, draft best Center in round 2, and sign this man in FA to help set up our many draft picks round 3 and below that will be spend on defense: 30. DI OSA ODIGHIZUWA, DALLAS COWBOYS Odighizuwa is another interior pass-rusher with very strong underlying metrics that haven’t quite translated to major sack production through nearly four seasons. While the Dallas Cowboys' season has fallen off the rails as injuries have piled up, Odighizuwa has stayed the course and played some of the best ball of his career over the second half of the campaign. The 2021 third-round pick is quietly one of the more underrated defenders across the entire NFL.

lol I’m not mad if we go defense early in the draft and understand it’s a huge, massive need. Ray Charles can see that. I’m just saying getting weapons for Bryce to evaluate him on being a franchise guy is a higher priority. Being that we are more than one offseason away from building this roster, I’m saying I don’t mind waiting until the following offseason to focus heavy on that side of the ball. 3/4 of the players on defense today are not our starters.

3/4 of who we are watching are not starters.

Okay so say we drafted McMillan. Same thing. Our defense is absolutely decimated with injuries this game and has been most of the season. The team won’t be rebuilt in one offseason, and you have to figure out if Bryce is franchise level or not. You can’t do that with Thielen as our best receiver.

Hot take, I said take defense rounds 3 and down.
