San Diego just let go of one of the top 10 NT/DT in the league...idiots.

I'm guessing that the $6M tag was a little too much for em, considering age and 1 game played last year. I hope he can come back with a smaller number, but if not, then it better be Dan Williams/Terrence Cody at 28.

Not surprised at the tender offer, but the 1st and 3rd little surprising, since it appeared he was going to walk away. Still perhaps the FO look at the roster and realized they didn't have another RB. Not to mention the value Sproles has as a screen-pass or quick hitter for Phillip Rivers.

I'm thinking the other way, go later for an RB, barring Spiller sitting there @ 28. I could see them going Hardesty/Dixon/Blount later in the draft and having them behind Sproles and an FA pickup (Chet Taylor?)

M. Hardesty in San Diego is a great fit.

Yeah, I think that's what they'll do, barring a surprise drop on a prime O'lineman.

I am surprised at the highest tender, but not getting tendered.

J Wall is 34, and coming off of a season ending injury, this is not a total shock. Don't be shocked if he is re signed at a lower rate.

Also don't be shocked if Jackson, Merriman, Sproles, or Floyd is traded, but not for the tendered amount.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
