So not even 2 hours in we're already in Family Dollar Fitterer mode. 

He warned you that we were going to the dollar store so stay in the car and roll the windows up.  And no you're not getting any candy.

I think this draft is slammed full of quality OLinemen. The fact that we are picking up serviceable guys that can play a few positions, makes me think this move is to keep us flexible. If we trade draft capital for Watson or to move up for a QB, then we at least have some vets that can fill in. If we don’t move up, we can still target linemen in the draft knowing that the FAs we signed aren’t big name guys that eat up a lot of cap and they can compete with or backup the draftees. I don’t hate these moves at all.

Outside reaction so far is...not positive.

That's not always the best measuring stick though.

That is kind of how i feel.  I am waiting for them to make sense.  I get it if we waited until next week and looked at these guys, but during the tampering period (I know one was released, I think (but the longer you wait, the price goes down.  They must have a certain "type" they are looking for.  I firmly believe that the system must be a good fit, and I recall a player like Evan Mathis getting released here and becoming  a pro bowler in Philly--so let's see/

You always bring sensibility to the Huddle.  Until I see the big picture, I am not totally in or out. These 2 contracts can be paid for by trading Teddy

I still think we draft a minimum of 2 OL next month.  One of which, being a starting LT (unless we sign one by then).

And Scott was not the worst--if we grab a T in the second and he needs a half season, we are probably OK.  Basically, we signed a Larsen who can compete at LG and a T that can play behind both ends of the LOS--the 19th and 70th picks in their respective drafts.

I don't hate the moves, just question the timing and the amount of money (very much related).

Spot on. Keeps us from reaching on draft picks to fill holes. Also gives up capable players in case we have no picks from Watson.

      Is Hughes on hat trick watch for the Canes? Could he be first star if they win?

      2026 Team Needs

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      QB: Overhaul the room. Jettison Bryce if possible but if he must remain then use a combination of a FA QB and draft QB to replace Dalton and provide realistic replacement options for Bryce when he continues to fail in 2026. RB: Figure out Brooks and Dowdle's future. If Brooks is not going to be a factor, move on and obtain a roster capable backup RB. Dowdle, retain if he is reasonable to afford, if not, find another Dowdle. TE: Find an upgrade that is also a genuine receiving threat. Sanders can be moved/cut, if necessary. OL: Find a starting caliber C through the draft or FA. Extend Ikey and attempt to minimize the early cap hits. Attempt to retain(depending on price) Mays, Corbett and Nijman. Draft IOL and OT as backups/depth. Versatility is key for lower round picks(BC/Mays caliber). Special Teams: Retain Sam Martin. Extend JJ Jansen if he wants to stay. Draft a legitimate WR/KR/PR guy again. It has been years since we have had an above average combo player like this. EDGE: Retain Wonnum/Gipson depending on price. Cut DJ Jones. Bolster this position group through the draft. We currently only field rotational caliber players. This is not sustainable. Get actual pass rushing ability. DL: Find a real NT. Bolster depth and upgrade across the board.  ILB: Find starting caliber ILB's through draft or free agency. There are no current players on the two deep that cannot be upgraded. This is a MASSIVE roster weakness. S: Let Nick Scott walk or sign him as depth for a cheap, short term deal. Upgrades across the board are needed aside from Moehrig.  CB: Bolster depth and find a long term replacement for Jackson through the draft. Depth at this position is extremely weak.
