I never got the feeling that the interest was that high. For him or for us.

For better or worse, I think the team believes they are far better at DE than the fans, media or most educated observers do.

Fitts the one that said he wants to bring a DE and DT in. He didn't specify why but I'd hope it's for rotation behind YGM/Brown/Ioaniddis. YGM had 4 sacks on 32% of the snaps so let the dude do his thing before he's not cheap anymore

To be fair, Fitterer has mentioned shoring up the D-line several times now. I think they see it as perhaps not an Achilles heel, but a real area of concern.

I'd rather have Gross-Matos play and develop than sign a 33 year old stopgap 

You need depth there, they want to be able to rotate guys in and out.  Bringing in a vet, who is a proven pass rusher, is not going to hinder anyones development

TBD. We don't appear to have been pursuing anyone aggressively. 

Maybe they are targeting some post-TC cuts or trades.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
