Use that money elsewhere to fill a hole like DE, OL, or Safety

Especially when the DE and Safety market seem fairly deep.

This!

I don't even know why people are looking at the WR position. We are set with Moore and Samuel. Maybe we add a big body in the later rounds.

Let me get this straight you want to add a guy who is known for the deep ball, when our QB shoulder is in question for the immediate future?

Lets wait and see if Cam will be able to throw the ball 50 yards again, before we waste money on Jackson.

Also Curtis Samuel can stretch the field you know?

Yes, I want to add Desean Jackson because he makes the defense respect the position. It isn't about going deep every play, it's about giving the defense another reliable, speedy target to defend, which will also open up the running game more. We passed the ball to McCaffrey 124 times. We need a WR that brings that edge and experience with his game. Samuel and Moore are both good, but I'm not crowning them as a no. 1 WR yet. And whosever at the QB position can throw the ball 50 yards if that's all you're worried about.

I dont see it being a wise investment. It took us forever to get snaps for Moore and Samuel. Wright has shown to be reliable on 3rd, and Byrd can be had for significantly cheaper.

Now, if we bring in Fitzmagic as a backup that could be interesting...

I thought that was T Smith' job to be the deep threat

He is going to cost a bit of money. Lets say Cam fully recovers, how does he have enough time to throw behind the shitty Oline he would have because we paid Desean Jackson lets say 8mil a year?

You have to have a plan. Just because you add Jackson doesn't mean our WR will get the ball. Priority #1 should be protecting Cam. He led us to the Super bowl with Ginn as his best WR. WR is not a main focus this offseason. We can find a big body in the draft which we lack. We have speed with Samuel and Moore.

I agree we need a cheap big body WR..

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      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.
