I would defend the premise that Chinn still has much to show before he can be thought of as on the same level as Derwin James as a Safety.

As a pure safety, I'd agree.

Chinn has yet to show that he can put up the kind of production he did during his rookie year as a hybrid safety / linebacker while only playing one role.

I've seen several huddlers assume TMJ I'd a lock in our previous discussions about the WR depth chart, but I don't.  Shi has definitely surpassed him on it and I have gushed repeatedly about his potential...  he could be HUGE for us.  Higgins probably leapfrogged over him too.  TMJ flashed last year, then got hurt, then they didn't play him anymore, and now he can't even get on the field.  Also factor in guys like Saunders and Wright started getting 1st team snaps, we have to keep Roberts for STs, and I think it was Smitty that said the UDFA Henry is really highly regarded by the staff, and TMJ may be a one and done.  He's definitely playing with fire.

I don't see them cutting him outright or letting him get poached from the PS. Decent chance that they could IR him for the season though like they did Fletcher last year. But yeah, no reason for him to take a roster spot unless he can suit up, no matter how "talented" he is.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
