I mean it's a wise move on his part to talk to the teams. For a year, he's been persona non grata to all the NFL teams except us and the Dolphins last year. All the teams coming up now would want to talk so he should listen, that's being smart about your business. But no one will outbid Tepper at this point if it gets to that. I believe that the reason why the deal isn't done is because we are trying to not give up players and Houston wants it so now people who they were telling no to, they are now allowing to speak to try and force more. 

He still controls where he goes with the NTC.  So why is he meeting with teams he knows will be completely gutted if they somehow can put together enough assets to even make the trade for him?  Or teams that in reality, have no way to clear the cap space for him?

At this point, the longer he strings it out, the less assets we can add to help (like Armstead) if we're waiting on him, and the more he drives up the price for whatever team he agrees to go to.  And say HOU likes our offer the best...  he can still tell them, after having met with us, that he doesn't want to come here.  It just doesn't make sense.

I just hope that after Watson signs with another team that this experience gives tepper real brass balls that he speaks about.

Tepper should have fired Rhule during the season last year but he didn't because he didn't have the balls to do it.

Tepper hasn't even came out and address the fans at all since the season has ended..... And now he lost Watson because of Matt Rhule .

Ramcyzk would be something like an immediate 27 million dead cap hit if hes traded.  They JUST restructured his contract to attempt to get under the cap.  I just dont see the resources there on NO's side.  Especially compared to what we can offer. 

Only guys with any measure of value they can move:

Payton Turner

CGJ

Marcus Davenport

Paulson Adebo

Pete Werner (if he has any real value)

 

That whole package isn't even worth the 6th overall pick by itself.

It's not just about assets, it might just be about getting more $$$ on an immediate contract re-structure.  If it was just about winning he'd have narrowed it down by now so teams wouldn't have to bid against others. He clearly wants to get paid as much as possible, which is fine, but is going to be hell for whoever gets him when they won't even have draft picks for a while.

The Falcons have emerged as a sleeper team to acquire Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, league sources tell @mortreport and me. The Falcons join the Panthers, Saints and Browns as teams that have met with, or are interested in, trading for Watson. More to come on ESPN.

Tweets showed that Falcons are using Schefty to up the price to a potential Carolina or New Orleans trade.

Stupid. The Taints have pick 28. What players are they giving up?

I think we have the best offer but DW prefers a different team for obvious reasons.

If only Tepper had fired Rhule for a real coach.

Preaching to the choir. this makes no sense.

      How short a leash will Young be on?

      So we can expect six QBs taken in the top 12 from here on out each draft?  Wanna wager that won't happen next year?

      Excellent.  I think BC is also the emergency 3rd string swing T, but maybe he needs to focus on C considering Corbett could be gone by 2025. The only people I have seen concerned about center are the experts and fans--they seem to be content here, but they did sign a C in UDFA.  I think they view Corbett as a seasoned veteran who has the ability to function as a C.  In fact, his college coach felt that is where he'd play in the NFL...I dunno.  I think Willie Drew (UDFA) could surprise you and take a CB spot.  Probably has a 30% chance.  Jamison almost made the Niner's roster in 2022, and he was decent here.  He is only 24-25 years old, so with Drew, we have depth.  Jamison should compete with Hill for the Nickel duties, and maybe Drew could play behind Horn and Smith-Wade to be the big nickel.  With the way nickel is used, we could carry 6 CBs.  Dane will start across from Horn and Hill as the nickel.  His spot is not secured.  I wonder if we keep Jammie Robinson on the roster--but you went with probabilities here, as you should.   Thurman (DT) played surprisingly well last season and he should stay a backup.  Tuttle may need to be moved to DE-I don't know.  I use PFF not because it is an exact science--it is somewhat subjective and misleading at times--but it is the most accurate attempt to evaluate performance available to us.  I think Ray is 26, so he should be performing at a higher level--he is basically in the bottom third, along with Shy Tuttle.  At OLB, Barno outperformed DJ Johnson but got fewer snaps.  Both should be safe this year, behind Wonnum and Clowney.  Leota played in 8 games and was on nearly half of the special teams plays, but he got snaps at Edge as well, earning an impressive rating in limited play.  He may be back on the PS at the beginning of the season, but he held the edge better than anyone else, imo.  I have no idea what to think about Chaisson, but after 3 seasons, it is time to perform at a high level or get out of football.  If he performs, the former first rounder COULD team with Wonnum, Barno, Johnson, and Leota to be a decent edge group.   2023 PFF Grades - Defense POS Player Grade POS Rank Snaps % Snaps DI Derrick Brown 90.1 4th of 130 940 89% DI Nick Thurman 63.4 48th of 130 367 35% DI LaBryan Ray 54.6 84th of 130 355 34% DI Shy Tuttle 52.9 91st of 130 549 52% Edge Amari Barno 64.0 NA 188 20% Edge Eku Leota 65.6 NA 77 15%             Edge DJ Johnson 50.4 NA 231 22%                         CB Dane Jackson 64.5 NA xxx 50% CB Jaycee Horn 84.1 NA 276 26%             CB Troy Hill 62.4 73rd of 127 494 47%             S Xavier Woods 80.3 12th of 95 796 75%             S Sam Franklin 58.0 NA 289 27%

      Coach killer. If Bryce at least showed drive, a temper your friends were afraid of… someone may take a flier on him.  If it’s last year’s Bryce part 2, then arena league it is.
