I think Ignoring OT in round 1 or 2 is a mistake.

I feel the complete opposite about him

I wish I could--but I like the guy.

Cam Jordan will be a free agent. Coming off a 10.5 sack season at 36.

Man that would be funny 

great guy--oozing leadership. I hate the saints, but have always loved him as a player and person

If XL doesn’t come in with a chip on his shoulder and being real serious about getting his spot back, do what you want to with him. 
Because if he doesn’t respond to this setback he never will respond. 

To have all the tools and you still can't get the job done--BUT if the light does come on--and some WRs take time--we could be scary.

Yeah - Tremayne was very reliable at catching the ball when it was thrown his way. Still not sure he is able to get open at a good rate, but at least he seems to have his head on a swivel (unlike XL)

Yeah, you have to assume he was not facing many shutdown CBs

I like Tremayne on the outside and wish he would get more of XLs snaps

he catches everything thrown to him....had 17 targets and 14 receptions for 160 yards. XL has the tools to be really good--not sure about inside the helmet though

about the same as urrbody else here, and nobody remembers Jeremy Chinn either. Yes, Seattle and other teams have deployed these versatile weapons. All I'm saying is we suck at it in Charlotte. That's a fair assessment 

Yeah, that is my point--we all are just shootin from the hip.

Jerry Jones has realized that his days are numbered.  Supposedly, he is mortgaging the future for a ring today--he mentioned that he only has 1 ring, but that team was not one he built--(did not mention that part).  Desperation, ego, and wealth--a dangerous combination.  Lets see what he does.

He's going to get paid. No way we can afford to sink that much into a WR with our defensive needs.

I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

So I am guessing we go with:

TMac

XL  

Coker

Tremayne (17 targets, 14 receptions, 160 yards--not bad)

Horn

XXXXXXXXXX

Awesome.  Do you have a pattern of being right?

wasn't one of the recent practice squad guys a fast WR/RB hybrid? Velus Jones? how did that work out? 

We have no idea how this will work out, but we know better than to close our minds because there is an isolated incident that is similar in nature that did not work out well.

at least we are getting some moves now--going into a fun time of the year.  THANKS Special Juan for staying on top of things.

Make it happen.

Before opening, I was convinced this was going to be our 4th re-signing of David Moore lol

Same

Guessing that Horn might get extended (along with Hunt and / or Lewis) so the sting of that contract might be mitigated.

If Brooks can come back he a good receiver too which was why I thought they really went for him. 
look at him and a guy like this in the backfield with the motion you can get a lot of different options. And if Brooks hits a snag you have at least a guy that can give you some carries 

He is slated to go rounds 5-7--he is the type of player that makes a way onto the roster and stays in the NFL for 8 years.  To your point, if Brooks comes around and we have this (and Horn) in the slot, we have given Bryce more options.  On paper, it seems promising.

'Tweeners die here bro 

Not that he would be a tweener--he's an accomplished slot WR with more yards than many in this draft. He possesses all the attributes of a slot--size speed, hands, intelligence, production, and experience.  Throw in intelligence and discipline.  The fact that he can also play RB in a pinch does not make him a tweener, in my view.

Really like this guy as a slot WR.  Him and the Iowa guy Wetjen.

Me too--a day 3 slot who can play STs and RB in a pinch- 

OK, we are letting our top RB go.  We have Chuba, Etienne, and Brooks.  Imagine a player who could LEGITIMATELY play the slot and back up at RB?  I am sure he'd be a special team player as well.  I noticed him at the combine, and thought, "Here is a late rounder who could stand out as a slot and provide depth at RB.

Without further ado....(I know one Huddler who might be able to tell us more about this guy):

• 40-Yard Dash: 4.44 seconds.
• 10-Yard Split: 1.55 seconds.
• Vertical Jump: 35.5 inches.
• Broad Jump: 10' 0".
• Bench Press: 16 Reps.
• Highlights: Showcased as a premier receiving threat from the backfield, having left Navy as the program's all-time leader in receiving yards (1,994).

High character.  Smart.  Maybe, just maybe....

Correct this logic

I might if it meant taking his guaranteed money now and spread it over 3 years (2026-2028) and maybe add $6m.  I am not sure you can do that, or that he would do it, but it would be a way for him to extend his career and bank accounts and we would be getting him for $6m for 2 years (if healthy), basically, since his entire salary is guaranteed now.  If not, we lose an additional $6m spread over 2 years.  So let's say his guaranteed $$ for 2026 is $18m.  Give him a $24m contract ($8m per) through 2028.  Worst case:  We get $10m in cap relief now and create $3m dead cap for 2 years (2027-8).   Best case?  We get cap relief now and a good/decent guard/tackle for 2 years (2027-2028) and the total salary per year when he is active would be $12m if you don't count any money for the season he cannot play.  That is a good value, and we'd basically be getting a 50% discount rate.  Since we have so much guaranteed now, extending him is not as crazy as it seems.

Something has to be wrong with this logic...

Basically, Sadiq means you would have to cover him with a safety or nickel instead of a LB.  Not a huge advantage, but he can create mismatches in some sets.

I think Jones becomes a cat casualty but by all means I love goldday I have him and Rodriguez's second round targets in my eyes first round I'm swinging for the fences on talent

He could, but we can't replace him (as a cap casualty) with what we'd save.  

I mean, saving $4.75m is not worth losing a starting edge, especially if we let Wonnum go (we will, as you know).  I think we keep jones and Scourton as starters--hopefully, Princely will come on stronger in 2026.  

Not trying to derail the topic, but my LB crush Golday from Cincinnati is a 6'4" 245 lb WLB who has experience as an edge player.  Imagine what you could do with that.....

We have Jones II and Scourton to start and hold the edge--imagine a LB who can step up and play the 9tech while Scourton and or Jones slide down.  Princely should improve.  We could kill 2 birds here--at least on paper.

2019 traded up for Greg Little

2022 traded up for Matt Coral

2023 traded up for Bryce Young and DJ Johnson

2024 traded up for Jonathan Brooks and XL

2025 traded up for Nick Scourton.  

1 out of 7.  Hopefully, Morgan is still humbled by his '24 draft and won't think about it.  

I think we traded up for Armanti Edwards in the third round when he had a 7th round grade.  Feel the Hurn.
