 No surprise no one wants Bridgewater. They saw what we saw last season. What a terrible signing. 

Well the clip does say that people were calling us about Bridgewater, but same as with everybody else, nothing's happening right now.

Does make me wonder what we'd try to get out of it.

I wonder if it's just slowed as the front offices dig into the draft prospects and really start considering whether they would be better if with a draftee or with a free agent/trade prospect.

Also, if the Watson situation is resolved one way or the other, we'll also probably see more movement in other directions for any team losing out on that. Watson's the lead domino and teams are just waiting for it to fall.

That plus everybody waiting to see what everybody else is gonna do.

Darnold was expected to be the next domino, but the Jets are taking their sweet time deciding what to do with him.

I'd say that's a smart decision on their part, honestly.

(not something you hear said about the Jets all that much)

If anyone is calling offering literally anything for Teddy, his ass should be GONE.

They could just be calling to ask questions rather than making an actual offer, though I vaguely remember somebody mentioning they thought we'd received an offer.

Might have been Verge but I don't remember.

If the speculation is true and we’re holding onto him as a potential part of the Watson trade, that’s probably worth the 9th or 10th round pick we might get in a trade for Bridgewater...

To be honest, I would think talking all his cap hit/dead money would be enough for us.  At least I would be ok with that.

If a team had a good offensive line and a strong defense, Teddy can work for them. We had neither of those last season and he just couldn't operate outside of that window.

He could also be a prime prospect for someone like Jacksonville to take as a warm-up act and bench coach for their QB. That's what I thought we would be doing with him here and we still could be looking at that possibility.

A good part of the problem we had with Teddy last season was Teddy, but it wasn't the entire problem. Our o-line was taken from the cast of Little Giants and our defense was Swiss cheese in cleats. We had receivers like no other team and a fairly okay running game, but no TE work and an offensive coordinator who literally could not watch the entire field. And don't get me started on not having CMC for most of the year -- that alone probably cost us four or more games.

I could see that.

And yeah, I had the same thought about us.

      Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
