Subtitled: "Who might be looking at Steve Wilks"

This year's whirl might start with an unexpected name. Adam Schefter is reporting that Bruce Arians is "likely" to step down after the Cardinals finish the season.  That'd certainly be an attractive landing spot.

The opportunity we expected Wilks to get looks like it's not happening since the Giants announced they want an experienced head coach.

Word that the Lions might give Patriots DC Matt Patricia a look.  Makes sense since their GM is a former Patriots front office guy so they're probably not looking at Wilks either.

I'm of the opinion Wilks is a great positional coach, above average DC, but has definite HC qualities.  It's why he's been on short lists even before becoming a coordinator and if he interviews well, could very well land a gig.  I don't think Indy or NYG are fits but the Bengals are an interesting team.  If Marvin Lewis is involved in the FO, I think he could very well target Wilks.

Cleveland is in a weird spot (shocking, I know) because ownership wants to keep Jackson but GM John Dorsey doesn't.

I think all of the "in the air" jobs end up open except maybe Houston.

If that's the case, I would still say the Bengals could be his best fit.  He just seems like the type that I can see Cincy wanting to take the reigns to compete against Harbaugh and Tomlin squads.  Solid defense in place and could help change the perceived dirty culture but stay mean.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
