The lack of any meetings with any of the top tackles is a bit concerning but maybe they received better news than expected about ickey's injury.

Ashawn is solid but for 12m a year we can find similar production for much less. If we can't find a trade partner, I'd be open to bringing him back at a much lower number but me personally I wanna see more reps for Bobby Brown and Cam Jackson. It is what it is with Tershawn Wharton that was a massive overpay by Morgan and Brandt but his contract is structed to where we can get out pretty clean next offseason so at least let's give him this year to see if he can turn it around.

Unless this team plans on overpaying for Rasheed Walker who in my mind is the only long-term starting LT option in free agency then bringing back Yosh is a must. We have no depth at the tackle spots and with Ickey's and Brady's injuries plus Moton's chronic knee troubles we need to bring in at least 3 tackles this offseason. Bring back Yosh plus another vet OT and take 1 in the draft. Let Yosh, another vet, and our highly drafted rookie battle it out for the starting LT job in camp and let the best man win. Ickey struggled early on his rookie year so having a vet option or 2 on the roster to turn to would be wise. I'd also like us to bring back Corbett at center as he'll likely come back for the vet minimum, and I wouldn't be shocked if Cade Mayes got a really expensive deal on the open market. Some team that loses out on Tyler Linderbaum is going to overpay Cade Mayes.

Unless they think we are going to overpay for an LT in free agency I can't take any mock draft that doesn't have us taking a LT in the first 2 picks seriously. We've lost Ickey for the year and he'll be due a contract extension or the franchise tag before he plays another snap for us and a patellar tendon rupture is a serious career altering injury for an NFL offensive tackle. There's no guarantee that he'll be able to return to his previous level of performance which even at that level there where people who question if we should commit to him long term. We also were looking at Moton's replacement last year I remember us being interested in Armand Membou in last year's draft. Moton will be going into his age 32 season and has been having chronic knee issues with an expensive contract so a new RT might be needed sooner rather than later. I don't think this team wants to return to the days of "can he play LT". Morgan being a former player has smartly recognized how important having a good Oline is to a team success.

Bring in Chanel, resign Rozeboom, and draft a LB in the mid to later rounds of the draft and let them battle it out with Wallace and Cherelus for the 2nd LB spot beside Chanel. Part of our problem last year was we had absolutely no depth to challenge our below average starters. Create some real competition in the LB room and let the best players play.

I'm ok with Yosh as a swing tackle and spot starter but I really hope we don't plan on going into next year with him as our starting LT. I like Ickey and I'm sure the organization does to, but we have to be honest with ourselves a patellar tendon tear is a significant injury and will absolutely affect Ickey's long term outlook. Thers's a good chance he's never the same player. You either have to overpay for a mid LT in free agency like a Rasheed Walker or spend a premium pick on one this upcoming draft. I'd prefer us to pick an OT in the draft for the cheaper contract and give us the ability to slide them over to RT if Ickey is able to come back and we will need a replacement for Moton in the coming years.

After years of seeing Cam and other QB's getting crushed by some awful Olines I'll never complain about dumping resources into it.

I like the approach Morgan takes in free agency where we fill holes with at least serviceable players and use the draft for BPA. So, I expect us to bring in a Safety, 1 really good LB and 1 kinda so so vet LB in case they lose faith in Wallace, an edge rusher, and with ickey's injury I think we will be the team that overpays for a LT like Rasheed Walker with the plan to move him to RT depending on Ickey's health and how long Moton wants to play.

I expect the same strategy as we did last year. 3 year deals for guys around 25 to 28 years old and have the cap number be lower in 2026 and back load the contracts for 2027 and 2028 when our cap space is 100 million in 2027 and 360 million in 2028. With the years of terrible drafting this team had under Rhule and Fitterer and the lack of picks from all the panic QB trades has made it where we have few long-term contract commitments on the roster. I'm sure there's probably some restructures and cuts we can make to give ourselves some more room this year if we need it but overall, our cap situation is in a good spot under Dan and Brandt. I think we'll be pretty big spenders again this year. With us making the playoffs and being in a weak division I see Morgan being pretty aggressive this offseason.

It's almost like playing zone and getting no pressure on a HOF QB doesn't work. Who could've thought that.

I WANT EVERO FIRED RN!!!!

The real gem in this year's coaching cycle is Brian Flores. If we moved off of Canales (which is highly unlikely) that would be who I would go after. It's been shown plenty of times that in this age of the NFL your HC needs to be an elite play caller. Whether that be offense or defense they have to be able to keep continuity on one side of the ball. If you have an old school CEO type of HC you run the risk of your coordinators getting poached every offseason and seeing your team decline as it's tuff to fine good coordinators who will stick around. Ask Lions fans if they would rather have Ben Johnson or Dan Campbell Ask Tampa fans if they would rather have Liam Cohen/Dave Canales or Todd Bowles Ask Raven fans if they would rather have Mike McDonald or John Harbaugh

Our defense had Purdy throwing picks and almost picks the entire game give me the 49ers. If we didn't lose Jaycee Horn at half time he would've got another 1. The Rams on the other hand our defense couldn't stop them except for forcing a couple of turnovers.

his forward progress was stopped!!!!
