Roster moves....Hood waived and more

Man it's really difficult for me to knock someone off my personal depth chart for Mickens. I hope we only carry 2 QBs. It would help a lot. We have a couple positions where we need extra bodies due to hurting or recovering players at CB and LB.

Won't happen.  Can't happen in fact.

Cam will be there, period, unless his arm just falls off.  That's spot 1.

Grier will be there, there's no choice.  He won't play this year in all likelihood, he will be QB3.  The problem is the guy has so much upside you can't stash him on the practice squad, he'd never clear waivers.  That's spot 2.

And then there are Kyle Allen and Taylor Heinike.  One of them will make the team as Cam's backup, because there is very little chance Grier is ready to play this year.  Even if Cam's arm falls off, Grier won't start until the team is eliminated from contention.  And that's spot 3.

Sucks, but there it is.

I sure don't want to have to burn two rosters spots on a 3rd string QB and a dedicated return man. Nothing against our other guys, but I'm kinda hoping Grier can win the backup job outright and avoid at least one of those situations.

dedicated return man I don't mind since the return game is so important for field position, but carrying 3 QBs is rough when you need more bodies for a hybrid D and you already have some guys hurting or coming off injury. NFL needs to increase roster size.

What you've said should be common sense but seems not so for lots of people.

Having 2 QBs means Grier has excelled and has stood out from the competition so much that the staff feels they can get by with 2 since it would help having more bodies for the hybrid D. Sorry for having an opinion and hoping Grier succeeds so that it better helps the team overall, but I guess thinking outside of the box on this forum = stupid.

Grier would have to have a killer Spring to win it out right, if he doesn't and they give it to him anyway they're taking a big risk.  Maybe Kyle could make it through waivers but then how long would it take before a team took him off the PS?

Common sense referred both to some on forum but just as much to Hurney and Rivera.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
