The one player we absolutely cannot lose this offseason.....

Taylor Moton ladies and gentleman. Every starter on our line is slated to be a free agent this offseason with the exception of center (which needs to be cut) Moton is young and someone we need to build around. Even if we are forced to use the franchise tag on him he cannot be lost to another team. Fug Hurney for not signing him sooner which will definitely cost us millions more in the long run. Long live the Moton Spike TD celebration!

There are zero reasons why Moton was not extended last off season.

Instead of extending Moton and James a year before they would have hit free agency, we instead spent that money on Shaq, Teddy, Anderson, and KK.

Dumb team.

I know Bradberry was not interested in re signing with us but damn do I wish we still had him. He’s performing as a top CB this season and he would have been great with our young and upcoming defense

Cap space change this season is going to play a big role in FA signings. I thought we should have extended him 2 years ago when he was getting chances to play but it was blatantly obvious he had talent. 

No matter the cap I don’t see a way that we can afford to let him walk unless we plan on pushing our rebuild back another year

I dont either really but it will all depend on how much the cap drops. We may not be able to offer him what some of the other teams with a lot of cap room can. On the flip side, if we can sign him cheaper once the cap drops that would be great, but I dont see it happening.

I wouldn’t blink an eye if we placed the franchise tag on him. Other than CMC he is the most impactful player on our roster that is on a non rookie contract

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
