Here is what I think. 1. Not sure about the contract with Ickey, but I would let him walk if he wants big money, sign him to a back load contract to play here in the future--as a guard. I am guessing that knee would be better at G than LT. Draft a LT and re-sign Nijman and BC if possible. 2. I love Coker, but the injury history is not a deterrant. I think we need a #2--Coker is an ideal #3 imo. He can play #2 for 2026, but whatever you do, you sign him NOW. He should not demand elite money--3 TDs for 395 yards is not negotiation gold. Lock him up now on a contract that is aligned with that level of production. 3. XL--this is an unpopular opinion, but we knew XL was developmental when we drafted him. Maybe play him at the #3. Financlally, you keep him on the roster and you hope to unlock his potential in year 3. I am upset with him, but he has talent. Can he put it together? Unlikely, but we cant improve every position that we need to upgrade. 4. the OL is interesting. First, our guards are contractually locked in until 2027; moving either is not worth the cost. Extend them if anything. I do not see Ickey coming back as an OT--but maybe a G. We must draft a LT and C or RT. Re-sign Nijman and BC. We must also bring in or draft a starting Center. I am concerned that they re-sign Corbett late in free agency, when his price drops. I think we will draft one. (In other words, sign your depth--BC, Nijman, and maybe even Corbett and Cuhran. Draft a center and OT. 5. Sign a FA (Chenal) and add ILB depth later in draft. Re-sign Rozeboom (reasonable contract--2-3m) 6. This is why I do not believe in giving RBs second contracts--they rarely play up to them. Nonetheless, Chuba is a leader, we have Entienne, and Brooks is going to give it another try. Dowdle is gone. What is not mentioned is the need for an edge--imo, we have to big edges that can hold the edge (Jones II, Scourton) Princely and a free agent pass rushing specialist (Reddick?) should make edge better. -

1. Nothing. He's under contract. He may have been up for an extension before the injury but now you sit and wait it out. 2. He's an ERFA. Tender him at a high level for little money and then he's a RFA after next season where we have the right to match any offer he fields. Zero pressure to do anything here long-term. 3. I'd probably take literally any trade offer made. If there aren't any you bring him to camp to compete and see what happens. 4. I honestly expect an OT in the first 3 rounds with Moton's age and possible degenerative knee issues combined with Icky's serious injury. We have both immediate and long-term need there. A stopgap bandaid vet feels necessary either way. 5. Sign a legit vet (Chenal). Re-sign Rozeboom at backup contract levels. Then LB is high on the list in the draft. 6. Yes. He looked good down the stretch. I'd always have a late round RB as a potential pick though. It's top of the list for positions where you can find surprising value deep in the draft. Plus I just want to stack talent there so I don't have to pay vets. RB is a draft 'em and let somebody else pay 'em position unless you have a truly elite talent there. Don't pay "good" ones. -
