With the Masterclass course Fitt has been putting on, shows how inept Rhule was

I definitely think Fitterer has some great qualities as GM. 

I remember hints last year he was more involved since Rhule was on the hot seat.  And behold, we reworked the OL and got it squared away for the first time since double trouble.  Like anyone, he's had misses (Ian Thomas, Corral trade capital, etc.), but he definitely has an eye and whatever they've done, the contracts/negotiations have been nicely structured this offseason.  A good blend of enough of a gamble, but no detrimental overpays.  

We are officially in a healthy cap situation with it only opening up more for great opportunities to put studs around Bryce or CJ.  It feels like we've got a ways to climb, but we're climbing, no longer falling.

Damn you just reminded me this man got TWO players to take paycuts and stay this season.

It shouldn't have been too hard to get them to take pay cuts. 

I would have started the conversation like " I dont know what kind of drugs our old guys were on but you are making way too much money for your production level, Would you be interested in taking a pay cut to stay here or would you rather get cut next offseason and try your luck on the open market? "

It is still coach influenced. His moves. Collaborative. Owner too. It does seem they are on the same page, I can't complain about FA really.

This trading everything they did to take a 5'10" college QB? I don't see the savvy there. Not crazy about giving that up for the other guy either really. but if I have to pick one..

 Look at the body of work Fitt has done in one off season versus when he has to deal with an imbecile who had final say on personnel

I think you're a tad bit premature with this thread.

Let's see how the FAs do. Not to mention the QB pick - who absolutely cannot be anything but fantastic, or Fitterer should be fired.

Premature is what we do best here in the Huddle!

I will say the contracts he is handing out and players he is signing make a lot of sense this year. If they don’t work out I don’t see any certain contract that’s crippling.

I think your still traumatized from Hurney burns, none of these contracts we have signed so far are crippling deals. 

I think Samir deserves some credit though, he works out the contracts and handles the cap...

Fitt has been fantastic since he got here. He gives value to the team over and over. You have to be a moron to not see it and an even bigger moron to attribute coaching success to a GM success. If your GM gives you value, he is a good GM. He doesnt coach.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      I think the first 3 picks will be defensive players this time. At least that's how the draft is falling this year. I would not be shocked at all if our 1st pick is the number one safety in the draft. It appears he will be right there for the taking.

      Man oh man. That 8-9 record without a playoff berth puts at 13 if I recall, ahead of both Atlanta and TB with their 8-9 records, due to our weaker SOS.   We might have been in range to deal for that guy. I hope he doesn’t last to 8. And I hope some AFC team picks him.

      Cool. I am not wanting to debate or argue it. It is mostly my preferences. But a couple of things:  I just don’t think he sees the middle of the field well. But besides that I would rather spend a 1st round pick at different offensive positions if we went offense, otherwise we have neglected defense something fierce the last few years. Last 1st rounder was Horn. That’s like 5 years ago now.   Investments… gee the last 4 drafts we have used a 2, a 2, a low 1st and a top ten pick on WR. Bryce has been here three years, three of those picks were specifically for him.  And assets, I don’t think you are counting the haul we gave for the QB position. That counts and it was huge.   Add that up and add the Burns cap space we freed up when we traded him. We bought two guards and used the savings on them. Not on the defense.  I mean, that is a lot of investment in the offense when you put all that in a sack and weigh it.    peace. Appreciate your post.
