We’re going all in on Trevor Lawrence. I don’t even want to hear about Justin Fields’ name. It’s Trevor or bust. But, this franchise has proven in the past that they do not know how to tank properly. Rhule and Brady must have not like Tua enough or believe that he can be fully healthy again to not trade up to #4. Green Bay took Aaron Rodgers while they still had Favre. Last night, they “traded” up and took Jordan Love in the “1st round” to be Rodgers replacement knowing that they have bigger needs elsewhere.

I thought you guaranteed we were going to trade up for Tua. :poo:

Why is traded and first round in quotes?

We are much more competitive this year than people give us credit for. Treavor would be like a dream. This team is better than it was last season though. Significantly.

On offense we had Allen starting most of the year. Teddy is a huge upgrade. DJ and Curtis have another tear under their belt and Anderson is a legit #2. CMC is still getting better. Our Oline will have the chance to come into the season healthy and hopefully this year they can stay that way. Our play calling and scheming will be miles ahead of where it was last year.

On defense we had a banged up DLine that has already improved massively with Brown and a retuning KK. Losing Bradberry hurt but we will likely replace him today. It won’t be an upgrade but I’m a deep draft class, we should be able to find a solid starter for us going forward. We cannot ever replace Luke but if you have to lose a GOAT, LB is one of the easier positions to lose one at.

Ohr play calling and motivation was trash last year. I genuinely believe we will be more competitive this year than last year. I was on board for tanking for Treavor but that is just simply not at all what we are planning on doing.

What are all you tankers going to do if we play well this season - if Teddy and the offense are really effective?

He's young and mentally tough, having come back from a horrid injury. He's familiar with the system we are going to run. We've got weapons on that side of the ball.

All I want is to win. Waiving the white flag for a hypothetically successful NFL player is absurd to me.

Brown makes us much better as a team, shoring up the most desperate need. That's why we picked him. He's an *elite* prospect at an incredibly important position where we also happened to be in need.

If we were truly trying to get the #1 next year we would have been forced to trade CMC.  With him in our offense, we simply won't be capable of losing enough games to get to #1.  We're going to win 4-8 games next year.  I'm not convinced Tampa will be able to protect an aging Brady who had clearly lost a step last year.  I'm never sold on the Falcons being anything, I mean, they find a way to throw away even the most favorable position.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
