I'm fine with going with the guy that can actually block and catch. Dolphins fans aren't that upset about losing him, basically a really tall possession receiver who isn't good at blocking. 2 years $13M guaranteed isn't bad for Hurst

Of course they aren't. Their coach doesn't involve the TE in the passing game. It's how we got Greg Olsen from Mike Martz's Bears. Not saying Gesicki is Greg Olsen but I'd expect a sizeable jump in his production in NE.

Silence is great news. Some team is laying low getting their cards right to get the steal of the offseason. Hopefully that team isn't in the NFC.

There's no "laying low" in the QB market. Lamar has just badly outkicked his coverage here and he's going to be very fortunate if the Ravens don't hold his feet over the fire now. They can probably fairly offer him considerably less than their last best offer now if they want to. Lamar might legitimately be looking at his best option being playing the year out under the tag and proving he can stay healthy. He'd have an extra hundred million plus in the bank right now if he hadn't been trying to save 3%.

Pretty much.

He thought he'd be the subject of a bidding war. The only war seems to be teams competing for how far they can distance themselves from him.

I expect he winds up back in Baltimore for whatever they're willing to offer.

Patience my friend. There will always be a team lurking when it comes time. 32 teams not everyone has a franchise QB.

 

Patience...

We'll see. His potential landing spots are drying up fast. I think we're seeing that the consensus around the league is that the wear and tear is catching up with him and his best play is already behind him. It might be on Lamar to prove them wrong at this point.

"Protecting Joe Burrow" ... LOL. That is the funniest thing I've read all day.

At least from what I've seen, he was arguably the best player on a bad line (kind of like Taylor Moton used to be for us).

That said, Cincy apparently believes that Brown is an upgrade.

My guess Is they thought they could keep Williams and just move him to another spot, but now he wants out.

Maybe not - appears to be a fake Twitter account from a Patriots beat writer.  Don’t see it confirmed from any of the usual guys.  

Slayton's a Giant. Pats got Smith-Shuster.

So yeah, I'd say that guy doesn't know sh-t.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
