Idk man it says we are like 3rd or 4th in money left. It says we still have 26 mil left, so I don’t see why we can’t.

It goes fast and we need to have some in reserve because there will be some vets available after the draft when we have a better idea of needs to fill. And there's always at least one surprise vet that suddenly finds themselves looking at a trade possibility.

It's a good idea to have some spending money on hand even into training camp.

Yeah I agree, I just there is enough to get this guy in here. Defensive line would be nasty though.

Maybe, but Seattle let him go, and that makes me wonder. Our other DT/DE pick-up from the Rams makes more sense as an impact player. He looks like he was on the upswing of his career and has a hunger to make himself a starter. 

Heck, we just need some run stuffers on that line. Crazily, we were more effective at preventing first down yardage gains versus the pass than against the run last season. And that's after we'd been told how bad our pass defense was going to be. And statistically, we were one of the worst teams in the league when it even came to getting other teams to third down, much less preventing them from converting.

That defense was soft.

I wouldn't mind Reed and think he could be helpful for us, especially with the Fitts connection. You win in the trenches and having a rotation of Brown-Reed-Fox-Roy inside is pretty nasty. 

If we are going to spend on another free agent in this price range, I'd prefer it be a young CB. Still a couple out there and I'm sure there will be one cut once camps start winding down in August.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
