replacable 

 

 

get used to a lot more picks like David Mayo. Cheap, solid, young depth picks. We really dont have that many holes... sure, upgrades could be made. but there are not 7+ glaring holes on a yearly basis heading into the draft for us anymore. 

 

great place to be. instead of playing catchup trying to fill holes of people who leave via whatever, we will have guys waiting in the wings.. injuries too..

 

makes me giddy. makes me wana lick Gmans nips through his shorts leaving wet spots.

Evens out the compensatory pick situation for us. 

Gained: Gradkowski, Boykin

Lost: Nortman, Velasco

We're probably about done in FA (Gettleman brings in almost exactly 16 rookies every year, right now we have 17 openings) aside from maybe another OT or 3T. We've still got Cotchery, Harper, and Silatolu as UFAs that could potentially sign with a team and put us into next year's compensatory pick race.

Does Trenton Robinson not count? I can't remember if he was an UFA or not.

Boykin did not receive a large enough contract to count in the cancellation.

We must still wait on the size of Velasco's contract to see if he qualifies.

Most likely Boykin doesn't count, yes; and I'm assuming the same from Velasco, so I'm thinking they still cancel out even if neither actually counts toward the formula.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
