I think Mayock is there to keep Gruden in check

Mayock would trade down before drafting a player he doesn't like early. my opinion

Damn, I'd hate to see it if there was no one to keep the situation in check. They've already traded for Antonio Brown and given his nearly $20M per year. They've already made Trent Brown the highest paid OL in NFL history and if they land Bell he'll likely be the highest paid RB in NFL history. Restraint doesn't seem to be in their vocabulary right now.

I was talking draft wise

You can do a lot more damage a lot quicker throwing aroind huge money in FA than you can in the draft. At least you're not slaughtering your cap space in the draft.

Maybe they want to make a big splash before Vegas

Maybe. I get the AB deal. But Trent Brown? How do teams get fooled by Pats OTs? The entire offense is built around getting the ball out quickly. It's a very OT friendly system. If you want to pressure TB the pressure better come up the middle because the ball is gone before edge rushers can get there. The Pats traded a 3rd for Brown and a 5th less than a year ago. Now he's the highest paid OL In NFL history? And the Pats will get that 3rd right back in the form of a comp pick next year. They basically got Brown and an extra 5th for a year for nothing. They really are playing chess while everyone else plays checkers.

Well that’s stupid. We could free up $12m in Kalil and Smith, $15m with Searcy. I don’t want to restructure Short. We can save $14m in 2020 by cutting Short after this year. We can save $10m in Poe in 2020. For Kalil we’d save another $6m in 2020. That gives us $80m in 2020 cap space assuming we make the cuts I want to make and roll over $10m. That’s with Luke, Cam and all the young guys still under contract. If we play FA smart this year, well have another 5 picks in the first 100 of 2020’s draft with two 3rd round comps. We don’t have to go crazy but that’s enough money with a young core to grab a couple studs.

Making Short less easy to cut next year is dumb. He was ineffective last year and he might get back but he’s not worth the contract. We can’t cut him this year or we’ll be atrocious on defense.

 

This. We have cap space if we want it. We'd just rather hang onto overpaid JAGs. Absolutely do NOT touch Short's contract. The last thing we need to do is give him more guaranteed money that we can't get out of.

Browns tried to trade for him last year, college teammates and BFF with Jarvis Landry

Ravens desperately need a WR

Bengals don't have a big need at WR

Steelers just got rid of 1 diva WR, dont see them going after another

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
