The cap space eaten up by the Kalils.

Who gives a rats ass about them? Ryan is a solid all pro center. He’s slow on his step but it’s the first game of the season. Cam trust him. Look through the record. Perhaps he will smack these backups and make something happen.

Regarding Norwell, it isn't so much about THEM as it is their contracts.Tyan greatly limits us this year, Matt greatly limits us next year and in '20.

Why didn’t we sign him? We took a UDFA and made him a Multi Mil. But he isn’t here. We don’t have our guard pair to keep poo together. 

This is the poo you get with hurney. 

Igo. I’m looking at you. He was your boy.

Simple answer is no smart and successful team has ever paid two guards TOP flight money. Trai flashed sooner, had draft equity invested in him and more importantly he is 2/3 years younger than Norwell, he gets paid first 10 out of 10 times. Plus it would've hamstrung every other free agency move.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
