That’s a hell of a statement to make to your locker room.

If they don't like it, they should play better so he doesn't want to

Heck, at this point I'm wondering if Fitterer can trade us.

I mean, I don't really want to go anywhere but at this rate I'm afraid I might wake up tomorrow and find out I've been traded to the Cowboys fanbase in exchange for a Chick-fil-A catering tray

We drafted a 3rd rounder. I’m glad we didn’t get Leatherwood earlier. He looks awful in Oakland.

What can we get for Gooby or that crazy PJ Walker poster?

Well obviously we know they care and they want Darnold to stay healthy but fans also know we have struggled in this area for a decade having seen mistakes firsthand. So at this moment when they are saying "oh poo" of course we are going to say what else did you expect? The we couldn't fix it all at once right now response is valid but then also you have to consider the sheer resources we have put into our defense even as recently as this week while plugging in a couple of depth linemen in free agency who have bounced from team to team lately. We put ourselves in this position like it or not.

That’s the point. It’s much much easier to find DBs than it is to find quality OL.

Teams aren’t even willing to part ways with backups.

Its a scarce position. We have to fill it in the draft. FA is super expensive.

Only thing to make it more awesome is if he called out by name who he wants to replace.

Not a terrible deal. Does it come with sauce?

Ask @Zod. I think he handles the cap.

Yeah we traded our 2nd round pick.  We could have kept that 2nd and got Tevin Jenkins.  We traded that pick with the Bears who took Jenkins. 

Instead we chose Marshal in the 2nd, and with the extra picks, Chuba,  Tremble and Nixon.

People were pissed we passed on Jenkins. Tevin Jenkins hasn't played a snap due to back injury and the Bears have 16 sacks on the season, 2nd worst in the league.

Issue with that is teams with good Oline have good depth and are playoff teams. Those teams aren’t selling

Tell that to these teams:

Lions
Saints
Colts
Jags
WFT
49ers

4 of those are top 10 o lines and the other 2 are top 15

He will trade anyone for a fresh spring salad or some cucumber water…

My agent says I'm worth at least a Texas Roadhouse dinner.

He didnt think there was any in the draft either.

I remember the Tevin love.

Fitts needs extra scouts just for OL. Such an easy position to bust on.
