would a 6th round OT really have made you guys feel better about the line?

Exactly. You have a 3 round window (IMO) to draft a starting caliber OL. Throwing in a 6th rounder and expecting him to start from day 1 is alot worse than having Bell who has 3 years experience there

Someone pointed out that if you cut Williams that you are on the hook for 4 mil next year. I have a hard time seeing Williams getting cut.

On top of that Stew is always hurt meaning that Gaffney would probably have to start.

So we're gonna carry 4 RBs?

You can draft a running back in the 6th round every year... you can't go into a season with a high school o-line.

Then don't draft o line with busted knees. A high school o lineman is better than one on the sidelines hurt

lol. I asked the question what does Gettlemen think of kugbilla by taking a third round OG?....

 

And now I ask what does Gettlemen think about Barner by taking this guy. Seriously, this makes 5 RBS.

Amini - Turner - Kalil - Kugbila - Chandler????

And then also gives us a cap hit from him next year. All the June 1st cut does is divide the cap hit between 2014 and 2015 correct?

So this year his cap hit is $6 mil, and cutting him as a June 1st hits us with $4.8mil of dead money, which translates to a $1.2 million in "savings". But next year we would be hit with that extra $4.8 million, which would be pretty ridiculous to have him counting against the cap for 2 seasons where he isn't even on our roster.

That's... not how it works. We'd still take the guaranteed hit from this season, which is $4m and thus a savings of $2m. Then the rest of the guaranteed money hits next year, totaling about $5.6m. That only saves about $750k but would also negate another million he's due next offseason.

Frankly, from a cap standpoint it makes more sense to cut him than it did Smith.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
