Bucs had the worst run game in the league last year. I know that because I remember being happy when we hired Canales but having some real concern about that 

They had the worst run game in the league the year before he got there, too.

They eventually got better, but he had them climbing out of a hole that were pretty deep in already.

I think this will basically come down to Cousins. He has far less of an ideal situation in Atlanta than Minnesota but it does seem like his main priority is one last cash grab.

Ideally, he signs a mega deal with the Falcons and then promptly starts to show his decline while saddling them with a roster nuking contract.

Where does Cousins and Fields go?  Maybe we find out today.  Cousins isn't the hold up because the team he ditches is drafting a QB.  Fields, on the other hand, could land somewhere either as a starter or backup.  If it's a backup situation, then that could mean one more team looking for a stater in the draft.

Ideally 5 of the 6 get drafted in the first round and we start taking calls at #33 to trade back for that last dude.  Sorry, but there is a big drop off between Nix/Penix and Rattler.

In the words of Dave Gettleman, we had better be shopping at the thrift store.  Don't expect any news of the Panthers signing anyone in the tampering period.  That's how Fitterer got two expensive, but very average, O-linemen (Pat Elflein and Cam Erving).

Very average is being kind if we're talking about starters. They were definitely below average starters. I guess they were probably about average in terms of overall rostered NFL OL.

There were reports awhile back that the Pats would go vet for QB. Brissett is in that good backup/marginal starter category. If they're signing him so the #3 overall pick isn't necessarily forced into action if he's not ready and to be a vet mentor that makes a lot of sense. If they're signing him as the answer so they can go WR at #3 that's laughable.

      NFL Free Agency

      With Schoen and Dan Morgan being tight I’d figure we knew this was coming and since he is released, Dan didn’t bite.    But, a quick search says this is at least 80% cap related. They have No cap space and save 8 or 9 million with releasing him.  He has been a captain his entire time there. 145 tackles this year.  They are picking 5th with a new staff and looking at Styles. Hitting that age 30 season and had a disc issue last year (meaning 2024) that did not require surgery.  I haven’t really watched him play but he activated the antennae.

      Did someone say "hybrid" player?

      OK, we are letting our top RB go.  We have Chuba, Etienne, and Brooks.  Imagine a player who could LEGITIMATELY play the slot and back up at RB?  I am sure he'd be a special team player as well.  I noticed him at the combine, and thought, "Here is a late rounder who could stand out as a slot and provide depth at RB. Without further ado....(I know one Huddler who might be able to tell us more about this guy): Navy running back/wide receiver Eli Heidenreich headlined the 2026 NFL Combine for the Midshipmen, running an official 4.44-second 40-yard dash and recording 16 reps on the bench press. Recognized as a versatile, "Swiss army knife" offensive weapon, Heidenreich solidified his draft stock as a potential day three target.    Eli Heidenreich (RB/WR - Navy) 2026 Combine Performance: 6'0" 200 lbs.   40-Yard Dash: 4.44 seconds. 10-Yard Split: 1.55 seconds. Vertical Jump: 35.5 inches. Broad Jump: 10' 0". Bench Press: 16 Reps. Highlights: Showcased as a premier receiving threat from the backfield, having left Navy as the program's all-time leader in receiving yards (1,994). High character.  Smart.  Maybe, just maybe....
