Official "Loving this Offseason" thread...

I for one am loving it. Out with the old, in with the new. Tons of opportunity for younger guys now to step it up and become stars. This year the training camp will have more energy and focus because for the first time in a long time, there appears to be real open competition. All of our younger guys just called their trainers to get their asses in optimum shape early.

Lovin it.

Sign me up as being optimistic about this season and liking the moves.

We still need a vet DE and a WR out of FA. This will probably come after the draft when teams release players to make room for draft picks.

There will be alot of fire and excitement next season. As well, we are setting outselves up nicely for the long-term future.

Loving it, but also nervous. There are young guys who need to step up and be leaders quick. Guys like Chris Harris, Jon Beason, Deangelo Williams, etc. Matt Moore can be thrown in there as well. It's going to be an interesting year.

I think Fox might have more job security than we realize. Why would you cut a bunch of veterans you've won games with in the final year of your contract? Risky, to say the least. I think Fox will be around at least a couple more years.

I guess I have to get on board here. I have always had a ton of faith in Richardson and his vision for the future. Despite the fact that I have no idea where this is going or what the plan is... I fully believe that there is a plan. Jerry and the FO have the teams overall best interest in mind.

I have faith.

I agree with the nervous part. This is a risky move, but the right one.

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
