This is a weird move because I cannot tell if this is us going into tank mode OR some deranged move that the front office actually believes we just got better?

I guess it is the later because it doesn't help us Cap-wise.. he has 4 years remaining and Hibbert was on a 1 yr "Show Me" deal.. and Hawes was 2 yrs away from being gone.. I guess they figured Hibbert was damaged goods and couldn't put 2 games together..

Plumlee did have some pretty good years in Phoenix, but has been a complete ZERO with the Bucks.. maybe they are thinking he can revitalize his career here..

all i know is if this is it - our front office better start packing their bags come the end of the season..

How is getting rid of Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes going into tank mode, exactly?

i don't think it is.. i said it was probably the later thought that our FO thinks this is a good move - but i don't see this as us getting better.. I'm in a wait-and-see (sulk) mode

This trade seems like a bandaid move to me at first glance. Clearly Roy and Spencer don't fit us or really provide any positive impact to our roster. They definitely cannot adequately fill in for Zeller while he's out.

Miles Plumlee is athletic if anything and can rebound the ball with the best of them. Important traits. Not sure how he is with pick and roll offense though so I'll be interested to see that.

This move does leave us with 2 open roster spots so my guess is that this move is purely to set up another move that's forthcoming. We did need to do something as this team is reeling and the deadline is still 3 weeks out.

I'm not a fan of owing Miles $12.5 per over the next 3.5 seasons though.

      what does Bryce's 2026 season need to look like for you to be oaky with extending him?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.

      Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
