Hell no to Burns, Chinn or Brown. Jackson would be perfect, that's a guy we shouldn't try and resign, get something out of him before that decision. Just tell them Shaq is a real Buffalo nickle, Rivera swears.

I don't want to lose any of these young guys, but a young franchise qb is going to hurt in some areas--current players for future first rounders.  having said that, they need to proceed as if he is not available.

If I had to choose it would be Brown and like you said, that's not with 3 first. DTs are replaceable, even with all that talent Brown has. 

If it works, great. If not, draft a QB at 8 and see what happens. We literally could draft a QB in the first for three years and have solid odds to find one since we will be picking top 10 until we get one.

It sure sounds as if Tepper is ready to make his move now.  Got rid of Marty, got his coach, and he saw us stay in games wiht a huge dead cap figure, undrafted free agents all over the place, and injuries to Okung, CMC,--with a terrible situation at LG---and we still were in most games--within a score, and us without a QB who can get us over the hump.  So I have a feeling we are going all in.

I'd rather give up Jackson than the others, but I definitely noted that D-Jax's name came out of Fitts' mouth very early when he was talking about our promising young players.

Sounds incredibley dangerous to have such a push coming from  someone with so little football knowledge. I get the desire but I'm not sold on the price.

I know, but maybe he is (as suggested by his front office changes) surrounding him with football minds and he is just the kid in the back seat screaming, "Are we there yet?"  Except this kid in the backseat is also the one with the credit card for gas.

That scenario scares the hell out of me.

The last thing I want is for David Tepper to become active in football decisions.

That's the hope, unfortunately the non-football mind had a hand in the hiring of both football minds...that's going to leave me uneasy until they prove it's not an issue.

The positive there is that none of the guys he brought into the process made it to the second round.

He deferred to what Matt Rhule wanted, and while I'm uncertain about him that at least is a good sign.

What if it's Brian Burns and Jeremy Chinn? Or Burns and Donte Jackson?

The Texans are believed to want defensive starters in any potential trade.

Far easier to find another Burns or Chinn verses a franchise QB. I’d rather give more for Watson than gamble on trading away future 1sts for an unknown QB this draft. Say we trade up to 3 and the QB is trash then we are screwed. 
 

I think we will make a move one way or the other.

Frankly, I do not know how you can be an owner of a team and NOT make suggestions in general.  It is no secret that the NFL teams that succeed have good QBs.  There is no difference of opinion concerning QB in Carolina.  So from that perspective, I assume that he is engaged.  As far as evaluating talent, etc. I would think not.  The comment from Fits--"We are going to be involved in every QB deal"  (paraphrasing) is what I am basing this on---Tepper is barking a bit.  Maybe I am wrong, but Tepper is involved to some degree--the only debate is to what degree.

      Could Morgan be eyeing Trey Hendrickson

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I see the logic in what you're saying, but I'd also say there were games with a bit more talent on the roster that some of the L's are actually W's.  AZ - We don't get off to a crappy start and if this game is later in the season when Bryce is a bit more comfortable, I think we beat the Cards NO - At least one of, if not both of these games would've gone our way SF - Perfect opportunity to snag a win on the road that Purdy handed to us, but we couldn't do anything offensively TB - Final game was winnable in Tampa  All this to say, I think 8 wins is about where we were at in 2025 if you take the games we barely won and combined them against the games that we barely lost.  Add 5-6 new pieces in FA and the draft. We went head to head and almost beat the Rams in a meaningful playoff game that gave a lot of the youth that experience to take into 2026 and beyond, and I do think 10-11 wins is achievable next year.  Not guaranteed, but much the way folks thought we could get to 8 or 9 wins this year as the ceiling, I think 10-11 is the new ceiling for next year.

      Recommended free agent targets from roppster report

      Milano at LB.  We just have Jags at the position. Can still draft an LB. Likely has to be in consideration at TE. Sanders hurt. TT FA. Doubs, Alec Pierce, Shaheed. All three could really help this offense in totally different ways. Doubs feels the most redundant of the group but he is also the most polished and talented wr. Be done w XL.  I still argue that Bryce needs an elite, Houston-type, defense in order to succeed here. I would legitimately find out the asking price to both Myles Garrett and Vita Vea. Cleveland is transitioning and will have a new coach. Vea is in last year of contract.  Assemble the best dline in football. Bring in Milano to fix ILB. Corners are good. Safety’s aren’t terrible and Ransom looks promising.  You’d have a 3 year window or so.   Biggest issue w any plan is going to be LT. Idk what the fix is there.
