You've been smoking something.

A veteran TE is a rookie QBs best friend. It would be malpractice to draft a QB and give him our current QB room and/or a rookie TE. I agree, we need to draft a TE, but that doesn't mean we stay away from the position in FA. Stating the obvious, FA comes before the draft and we can't risk not being in the right spot to draft a TE and miss out entirely. We don't need to blow a ton of money, a middling guy would suffice.

I actually like the one you did just before this one better. Both are really good though.

No, but the Jets do have a ring. Point being just because an organization has a ring doesn't mean they beyond ridicule. Two-years ago or 50-years ago, it doesn't matter. There is only one current champion and right now it's KC. They actually shipped off one of their best players and still won. They did it the right way and have two rings in the last few years and could stand to win one or more in the foreseeable future. That's admirable and enviable at the same time. So yes, I still think the Rams blowing up their entire roster is still funny as hell. McVey had to be talked of the cliff of stepping away, even being one of the youngest coaches in the NFL. Dude had to really think twice about overseeing this blow up and rebuild.

The Jets have a ring too, I guess I can't mock them about something or is just a recency thing? I'd rather build a dynasty or at least a mini-one over a hired one-year or bust roster. Heck, in a few years most of the Rams fan base won't even remember who the hell was largely on that SB roster.

Correct. I'm not shocked how selling out is a somehow a good look, alas, it's sadly expected.

Damn our fan base has hit a new low. Desperation is a foul smell. Each year 31 other teams have to "get'em next year"

The Rams are screwed for a while, not just a few years. Their first SB win was not done this way. They built that team. The Bucs sucked before and surely will after the TB12 rental. Kinda showing your stripes there guy.

Years of irrelevancy incoming. I guess you are coming from the players standpoint, which unless you are a player is a weird viewpoint. As a fan, players come and go. LA is a weak football market anyhow and that nice new stadium is going to be largely empty for the foreseeable future.

All 100 of them, sure. The rest were just there to be seen. Curious to see attendance numbers next season. I bet those 'fans' are going to stick by their team, lol!

Eh, it's a rental ring/hired mercenary ring. Would I take it? Sure, but it hits different when an organization builds the roster the right. Given the choice, I think most fans would like to see a ring won as the fruition of team building the correct way. This is the NFL, not the NBA...screw creating 'super rosters' of temporary hit-men.

Lol, at the Rams! They sold out for that Super Bowl win and just one season removed, they blowing it completely up! Their cut list is loooong and it's going to get even longer!!

This one of the moves I anticipate happening because obviously we turned down offers for him, so he' snot going anywhere and an extension frees up about $12M in cap space this season.

TY Hilton would make sense on a veteran minimum. He may not be the player he once was, but he's intimately familiar with Reich's offense and could be a great 'coach on the field' type of player. Even our current WR coach has to get acclimated to this scheme.

Go with the Jimmy Johnson Cowboys plan and get our version of the triplets this draft and let the grow together. Quads would even be better as we need the TE too. Snag at least one veteran FA to be the leader/voice in the WR room.

OLB- Burns, Chinn (Haynes, Barno) ILB- Shaq, Luvu, (Smith) NT- FA, draft pick, (McCall) DE- Brown, FA, YGM, draft pick CB- Jackson, Henderson CB-Horn, Taylor SS-Woods, (re-sign Burris Or Franklin cheap) FS- FA, (draft pick) Nickle- FA Chinn is going to have to add some weight, but I think he will do better on the outside than inside. He can drop in coverage and also see him doing better against OTs/TEs than the interior guys. I don't agree with trading him, he's too good of a player. We have the staff to find him a home and max out his potential.

Pipe dream, but I'd take it!

It's possible, but it takes two to tango. There still will be one more QB, assuming it will be AR. I'm not a fan, but he'd still be there assuming he's not one of the first three drafted.

If none of the 3 QBs grades significantly higher than the others, it totally makes sense.

Trade back to #4 and recoup some draft capital. We still get one of the 3 QBs. This isn't that difficult folks.

I called it a 'coordinated QB market correction.' I'm surprised members of the Browns brass hasn't found severed horses heads in their beds or mysteriously gone missing. They pissed off all the League owners with that Watson contract. Heck, even Tepper--QB hard up David Tepper-- wouldn't fully guarantee the contract even though the total money was said not to be that far off from Cleveland's offer.

I know Atlanta says they are not interested at this time, but we shall see. Also, a team sports talk radio said keep an eye is just a short drive down the road in D.C.

Thank goodness. Sorry, anyone trying to get in Deshaun Watson's contract neighborhood is smoking something. The Browns fugged the QB market for the next several years by giving Pervy Rubdown such a insane contract. Actually called out a Clemson fan on that just this afternoon. He said "Can you believe the ridiculous money average QBs like Carr and Geno Smith are getting?" I said you have to thank that Clemson alumni Deshaun Watson for that. You should have seen his face, lol!

Well, well, well apparently I'm not the only one that thinks Brissett is the likely veteran QB the Panthers sign. I've only been saying this since Reich's first day.

Too expensive for a backup and too much cap savings to keep Elflein around.
