My read is they intended to try and get points but that first run and usage of the clock was done to hedge against things going poorly. Basically they shouldn't need all that time to score since they had multiple timeouts. Dirting that second play put us in a no-win situation. Sure you can run on 3rd down but ARI had timeouts so they still likely get the same result.

As long as the team isn't out there going through the motions, I fully believe they will give Dave a chance to show what he can do with a different QB next year.

Option 1 seems the most likely to me. Canales inherited Bryce and will likely get a chance to show what he can do with a hand picked QB. I also think this team really needs less turnover at GM and coaching.

CJ hasn't exactly been lighting it up himself.

My overreactions: Tmac looks like he belongs. XL pressing too much. Looking more like a Cordarelle Patterson than an AJ brown at this point. Renfrow will be the #2 choice as the season progresses. I can't see Bryce/Coaches trusting XL in key moments. Corbett had a terrible game (several bad/early snaps). I wouldn't be sad to see Mays back in the lineup. Bryce pressing too much. Looked fine when he had time. I figured he would have learned to slide by now. Defense improved as the game went on. I'm not expecting miracles. Our LBs are predictably terrible. QB scrambles and TEs are gonna feast all season. Coaching seemed fine. I agree with the 4th down tries. Didn't like the playclock constantly running down though.

Agreed. Didn't they bring Brady Cook in for a visit? Seems like a much better target.

From a money ball standpoint, I'm in. Draft the guy. Let him mop up the preseason and then swap him for a higher pick in the future. You know if the Eagles did this, the talking heads would be all over Howie's dick. EDIT: The Pats literally just flipped Joe Milton this way (6th for a 5th).

And if we don't spend it, it rolls over and offsets their cap hits next season.

Not that surprising consider the report of trying to trade him with no suitors.

I wonder if ISM needs a week or two. He seemed banged up in that last game.

They've been churning after preseason games. I expect that to continue for at least the first week or two of the regular season.

Caelen Carson seems most likely.

That sucks. Likely a target in the 5th. Had multiple visits with the Panthers.

Like that they got a 2nd to replace the missing one next season.

It's not even that expensive. To go to 31 or 32 would likely mean swapping a high 5th (141) for a low 5th (173 or 176).

I'm wondering if this had something to do with the urgency to get something for Brian Burns:

I'd imagine that's the fallback plan.

I assume to open up cap space when deals become official on Wednesday and to quickly pivot to the crop of unsigned edge rushers before they get claimed.

Key takeaway: Multiple teams interested ... not just the Giants. Should help somewhat with the draft pick compensation.

Bears overplayed their hand. Teams are doing to the Bears what the Panthers should have done to the Jets with Darnold. The second the Bears announce QB at pick #1, Fields trade value drops to a day 3 pick. Teams with a possible QB need (and aren't in range to draft the top 3 QBs): Minnesota Denver Teams with questions at QB: NY Giants Seattle Miami Dallas Cleveland Just to see what would happen: San Francisco

Welp that sucks. Interested to see the contract. Thought he might make it to wave 2.

That is a surprisingly reasonable deal.

Based on logic used elsewhere ... he can probably be had for a 3rd round pick
