I’m going to say Moore with 900 yards. It wasn’t that long ago that KB put up 1000 as a rookie.

I could definitely see CMC having 1500 yards from scrimmage but if I have to say which is more likely, I’m gonna say Moore with 900. I think CJ Anderson is going back to get a decent amount of work.

1500 for CMC is a pretty conservative bet imo. If there was anyone on the roster (other than Cam) that suffered from Shula's lack of match-up aware play calling and situation awareness, it was CMC. So many times he was matched up in the flat or on the outside against slower linebacker and just never got the ball. 100 combined yards should be this dude's floor each game unless the defense just overloads his side of the field.

I would choose 'none of the above', but if I have to pick one I'd go with CMC. Moore isn't likely to sniff 1k receiving unless he goes wild with yac and/or we have injuries. This isn't a pass happy offense and Funchess and Olsen should get most of the action. Dickson only got 400+ yards once (last year) and that was mostly due to that one game where he had a career day, and Olsen getting hurt, so no way the rookie collects 400. I don't see Samuel getting enough return yardage to bust 1k. I'll be thrilled if he can just have a decent rookie season and not get hurt. And yes he's a rookie as far as I'm concerned.

When u think about even though it sounds like a lot but your break down makes me think you're so dam right. 100 a game fifty rushing fifty catching should be a normal day based off what he can do. I'm claiming it with our great offense minded coach

      From what I gather, sure it allows you more room in that you can manipulate the cap more due to smaller prorated amounts to fit salaries in, but for cap purposes, you're still on the hook for the money at the end of the day.    "ChatGPT You said: What are the advantages for NFL teams to sign larger signing bonuses? ChatGPT said: NFL teams often use large signing bonuses as a strategic tool in contracts. While they cost real cash up front, they offer several advantages, especially when it comes to salary cap management, player retention, and negotiation leverage. Here's a breakdown of the benefits: ✅ 1. Salary Cap Flexibility Signing bonuses are prorated over the life of the contract (up to 5 years) for salary cap purposes. This allows teams to spread out the cap hit, even if the player receives the money immediately. Example: A $20M signing bonus on a 4-year deal counts only $5M/year against the cap. ✅ 2. Attracting Top Talent Players love signing bonuses because they're guaranteed money paid up front. Offering a bigger signing bonus can sweeten the deal without inflating yearly salaries. ✅ 3. Front-Loading Real Cash, Not Cap Teams with strong cash flow can pay big bonuses now while minimizing the immediate cap hit. Useful for teams trying to build around rookie QB contracts or with flexible cash budgets. ✅ 4. Locking in Key Players Larger bonuses make it harder for a player to be released early due to dead cap consequences. This can create more job security for the player and roster continuity for the team. ✅ 5. Leverage in Restructures Big signing bonuses create future cap hits via proration. Teams can later restructure deals (e.g., convert salary to bonus) to create even more cap space. ✅ 6. Competitive Edge In free agency, a team offering more guaranteed cash up front often wins the bidding war, even if the total contract value is lower than another team's. ⚠️ Key Caveat: Large signing bonuses increase dead cap risk if the player is cut or traded early."   I think that roster bonuses can be a useful tool if you're trying to keep players in by manipulating numbers and spreading the hit over time, but I don't think that it's something that you want to use unless it's "necessary." I don't know that you want to get into signing rookies on roster bonuses, as the bust rate is relatively high.

      not even if that team in New Orleans disbands before the first game.  Saw one 2026 mock that had them drafting first next year.
