What about him?

He signed a 3 year, $24 million deal and went out and put up 82 catches (21st), 823 yards (35th), and 5 TDs (34th).

Nothing wrong with that for $8 million a year at all.

And again, this was in their first year with Trevor and a new coaching staff, that offense is on the rise.  They also added Evan Engram last offseason too, I think they killed it for getting Lawrence weapons last year.

Much better than I thought, that was shocking too. But I can not say he didnt back it up........now hes just not get naked in motel while on ghb.

Yeah I was just throwing out names.

 

Could also be for a RB as well. Derrick Henry makes sense. Imagine defending Allen and Henry in the same backfield. Sheesh!

 

They have a lot of options that's a good chunk of space to make some key moves.

Isn’t Ekler wanting a trade? Also I think Buffalo was above the cap before they made those moves.

Can't see the Bills wanting someone like Hopkins unless they also get rid of Diggs.

Diggs is amazing, but he is a bit of a diva at times and needs a lot of passes thrown his way.  They're not going out there and getting someone like Hopkins who also would demand a lot of targets and risk having more games of Diggs pouting like his did late last year.

I think they'd be more looking at someone like a Thielen, solid possession WR from the slot who will settle in just fine getting 4-6 targets a game and be a nice safety valve for Allen for when he can't push it downfield to Diggs.

Diggs has earned the right to be a bit of a diva. He's a threat to take the top off every time he touches the ball. He's an absolute game changer.

If I'm the Chargers, no chance I'm trading Ekeler to Buffalo, sorry kid, you can sit out the season before we're giving you to one of our main challengers in the conference.

If they are the highest bidder who knows. The Lions traded their top TE to the Vikings. Anything is possible…

Oh 100% agree, that post wasn't anything against Diggs, if anything it was in his favor as I was pointing out that I don't think they'd go after Hopkins because they want to keep Diggs happy since he's worth it.

If I'm the Bills, I'm going after Hardman and Thielen, two very different WRs who can both have a significant impact on that offense with limited targets and catches.  Hardman to take the top off and keep safeties from doubling Diggs on every play and Thielen to be a 8 yard safety valve for Allen when he can't get it downfield.

Then they can trade Davis or just let him play out his rookie contract and have a nasty 4 WR set they can throw out there in a run for the SB this year.

Hockenson is one thing and they got a 2nd and 3rd for him (giving back 4ths too), Ekeler is so much more of a difference maker who fills a huge hole for the Bills and would make their offense basically unstoppable.

Not sure how much the Chargers will really get for a 28 year old RB who a team will then need to sign to a big extension at the same time, less than we got for CMC for sure as he actually had a decent contract for at team to take on since we had to eat the bonus.

The Chargers expect to be one of the top SB contenders next year, they're not giving Ekeler to the Bills for what, a 3rd round pick?  Seems like that would hurt their chances this year more than help.

I think if anything, the CMC deal last year shows just how easy it is to replace RB production, no matter how uniquely talented they are.  If I'm the Chargers and can get a 3rd rounder for him, I do that in a heartbeat and never look back.

Yea, that's what I think they would get for him and is fair.

But I'm not taking a 3rd round pick to send him to the Bills if I'm the Chargers.  They're looking at a couple year SB window with how that roster is built at the moment and the Bills are obviously also a favorite.  That trade would hurt their overall chances to win a SB more than it would help.

Someone else out there that aren't the Bills/Chiefs/Bengals will give them that much for him.

Just a random question; what is Carson Wentz market value? I figure with Darnold gone we need a backup. Are either him or Brisset taking vet min money? 

Carson Wentz was part of the Colt's problems, not part of the solution.

I seriously doubt Reich will repeat that mistake by bringing him here.

PJ Walker is not under contract! Being a RFA doesn't mean they was re-signed. The only RFA that has re1signed is Sam Franklin, S today. 

PJ is gone, although I think he will end up on a 53 man roster.

Even Corral probably isn't guaranteed, especially if Reich plans to only have 2 QBs active.

I think the plan is to start the rookie from Day 1, especially with this Oline.

Still need a veteran backup. Would have been fine with Darnold, but think there's a good chance it will Brisset

      What we had then, what we have now...

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      https://x.com/4thand1show/status/1975274357174784272?s=46   saw this this morning and came to post something similar. I didn’t just love the team or the wins, I loved those dudes man. They put everything they had out there every Sunday. You didn’t see a rep where anybody on that field was low effort in that era, and if you did they were quickly sent packing.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      By Steves89 · Posted

      …is Brycen Tremayne with 108 yards. Not sure what that tells us but I imagine it’s some sort of gumbo consisting of the following: - Bryce can’t push the ball downfield  - contrary to what many were saying this offseason, the wr still needs a lot of work.  - we need Coker back badly.  - Brycen is pretty good! Congrats to that young man! Curious to hear other’s read on it. Was a pretty surprised to see he had more yards than anyone other than Tet and thought that was symptomatic of our issues on offense.

      I don’t think many fans would have guessed the Chiefs and Ravens would be where they are right now. Same goes for some surprise packages like the Colts, I’m not sure many would have put money on them being top of their division after five weeks. It’ll be interesting to see if this continues!   Not necessarily. The Chargers have lost both starting OL and their 1st and 2nd choice RBs. They fell apart against Washington. The Broncos have just beat the Eagles, so they’d be my favourite in that division, but they are still only one win ahead of the Chiefs. All the Chiefs need is a couple of results to go their way and they’ll be right in the fight for the AFC East. I think that division is going to be very close and probably not a 12 or 13 win division like predicted. Unless of course the Broncos kick on.
