Depends on what Evero is telling Fitt about who he wants to use in his defense, and who we need to trade. Evero will want this roster changed for sure to fit his system, and obviously the current roster will change a lot if and when it can be done in a cost effective manner.

Defensive vets should be traded as soon as fair deal can be drawn up. This allows for Evero to mold the defense into what he wants, and it frees up money that we don't need to be spending on defense when we're nowhere close to being a good team. The vets can be replaced with Evero approved draft picks and young low price free agent players who fit our system perfectly. That way the rookie defensive players learn while Young is learning. You don't want expensive vets at the top of their game eating up huge cap space while Young is still learning. That money can be shifted to the offensive side of the ball, so as to protect Young and make it easier to evaluate him.

All defensive vets who want big contracts should be traded. All players who don't fit Evero's system should be traded when possible. Money freed up goes to the offensive side of the ball within reason. Holes in the defense should be filled by rookie draft picks approved by Evero, and budget vets. Then we go shopping with serious cash to bring in highly talented offensive players. Juice the offense up big time, and let the defense be a work in progress. The defense can be fixed with future drafts and maturation.

As much as I like Burns he is being wasted.....the smart play is trading him for a 1st and 2nd or 3rd if you can.  This team is 2 WR, 3 OLine, 1 DE, 2 LB, 2 CB, 1 TE, possibly 1 RB at least away from the playoffs....you ain't getting all that in the next 2 years without selling some pieces that would be replaced anyway.  Burns, Chinn, Jackson, TMJ, Tremble, Thomas, Thielen, Chark, Thompson, Hurst.....they should all be considered available...wouldn't trade em all obviously, but...we are 0-5.....if we are 0-7 by the deadline I mean what do we really have to lose the last 10 games here?  They proved they are an 0-7 team.

I was hopeful our new coaching staff would plan their schemes accordingly to the talent they have to work with but nope. More of the same old square peg round hole bs

The offense is definitely struggling in that department but I feel like Evero is doing the best he can with the scraps and backups he's had to use thus far. He's down his top two corners, starting ILB, and starting safety. Secondary was thin to begin with but the defense looked decent until last week.

Jackson - 4th or 5th

Chinn - 3rd or 4th

Marshall - future considerations 

Way too high. Given Jackson’s injury history, contract, and subpar play, you're probably looking at a 7th at best. Maybe Jackson and a 7th for a 6th swap that’s been all the rage lately. 

Chinn is a FA after the season. 5th is probably the ceiling here. 
 

Marshall isn’t getting anything. Maybe a throw in in an underperforming player for player swap (e.g. Hardman for Marshall)

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
