I agree, and we may not get a really good WR there--I think we are going to sign a WR or two today/tomorrow.

At pick #39 we may be able to get a stud WR, but having all these other holes filled means we could definitely trade 39 & another pick to move back into the 1st round and grab one....I think there are 4-5 #1 WR in this draft and many could be there in the 20's.  If we sign Theilen & Jamaal Williams, then grab a guy like Zay Flowers, JSN, Johnston.....imagine.

Awesome!  Hopefully he wasn't too expensive.  I wonder what releasing Ian Thomas does to our cap?  

Are we actually releasing him? Didn’t he just get extended last year?

I like this signing. He easily becomes the best TE on the roster and was affordable. Some of yall act like we still have 50 million dollars in cap space. We don't and still need to add a RB and WR at the very least. We are rebuilding, not reloading.

Probably in the 15-25 range of TEs in the league which is much better than what we had in 2022. 

I'd rate him closer to 15, especially when you consider the other guys like Chase who were naturally gonna get targeted more. Here, that won't be the case.

His stats def are not impressive and he's  going to be 30 going into the 2023 season despite being drafted in 2018. 

Anyone have a clue on how skilled he might actually be despite the stats. Don't remember personally watching him

We have the 2nd richest owner in football.

 

I think we will be fine watching him pay Nuk.

We are fans we don't pay the players bro. If you scared go to church!

Of course we would ink him to some kind of extension with dummy years on the back to spread out his cap hit if somehow he came here.

The only other option is to trade back up into the 1st round and target one of the WRs there to be our #1, but it's risky to count on finding a trade partner, and it's expensive draft capital wise.

He was around 13-15 statistically and missed 4 games.....in a full season he is potentially a top 10 TE.

Keep in mind he also played in Cinn where they had 3 of the top 35 WR's in the league, so targets weren't easy to come by.

No, I worded that terribly.  I was just inquiring about how it would look if we did.  The answer was not good.

Dogshit for WRs in the draft. Really hope we trade for a vet

Great offensive minds can scheme guys open and elevate their players. Don’t necessarily need a T.O. out there.

 

The off-season isn’t done yet too (obviously).

 

I’m looking forward to what Reich/Brown cook up.

Did you type this during the 90 seconds you have to wait before the fries are ready?  Just kidding.  I have been able to work all week from home, so the NFL network is on in my home office and I am spending about 30 minutes on work every three hours.  This is so addictive.

I used to post a lot more often here but I got truck driving job in 2020 and then had a lot less time. I used to work only half days and before that unemployed and before that 4 days a week.
