Royce is our current 3rd string back. Behind Chuba and Ameer (who was picked up just last week and still had a higher snap count than royce). Im sure they could & would find a better back to try and fill those big shoes. 

Plus I don't see him getting a 5th. Maybe a 6th or 7th. 

I’m just hoping for desperation on Titans end because they have the afc south but need to keep it.

Yeah for a team that relies on the run game as much as they do, they definitely should be looking for someone to try and fill that role to some degree. I don't know about them being desperate though, but do expect them to be looking.

Their main back up was App State great Darrynton Evans but he go hurt again last week and placed back on IR so they have Jeremy McNichols and Dontrell Hillard so they are for sure searching for something today.

It would have to be for a draft pick, their IR looks like a hospital ward and they really don't have the depth on the offensive side of the ball to make such a swap.  I thought we had a lot of injuries!

Baltimore was signing the likes of Le'Veon Bell and Devonta Freeman. New Orleans just had to trade for Mark Ingram. That tells me there isn't much to be had. Marlon Mack was supposedly shopped by the Colts but there's no way they trade him in the division to the only team that is a real competitor to win that division.

What was mark ingram trade for? A 2024 7th round pick. I mean im not saying we can't offload royce, I just expect them (Titans) to go after someone else. And definitely I don't expect a 5th round pick for Royce either. 

They also likely traded for him because he is familiar with the playbook and it would be easier to get him ready to play because of that. Can't speak for baltimore and the many injuries that ate that rb room

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
