NFL Tradewinds & FA News


Recommended Posts

Part of me is excited to see who we sign but it would be better to take the year off, clean the ledger, accumulate draft capital, and allow Canales to develop who we have and start developing a culture. Maybe the players we had were just utilized incorrectly or not developed properly. An actual good coach may have taken this roster to 6-8 wins last year, there is just no way of knowing! 2025 you can open the checkbook.

Throwing this out there.  Should we trade for a borderline starter/backup QB this offseason and not wait until next season when Dalton's contract is up? 

The Mac Jones trade to Jacksonville got me thinking about something.

If not, they are drafting a QB and they will be down to QB5 at their pick. Not sure they bite there for Nix/Penix at #13.  If they go elsewhere and there's only 1 QB left of the top 6 remaining on the board in the second round, there's our trade down target.

I know Bryce is the plan but I would be happy with us drafting a QB in the 2nd or 3rd if we can accumulate more draft capital either by trading Burns and/or trading down from 33. 

As much as I would like that, it ain't happening.  Bryce is getting this year to prove himself.  No serious competition.   That's why I want to sign (FA or trade) a younger QB this year to compete next year after Dalton is gone.  Andy isn't in the long term plans and drafting a rookie next year isn't appealing.  We aren't cutting Bryce even in 2025, so the best thing to do if he doesn't drastically improve this year is give him legit competition for next season.

Yeah I agree with all of that for sure! My only other thought is that Bryce may have been fortunate to have survived this year from a physical standpoint, and there were over 60 starting QBs last year, partly because of injury. If we have another young QB in the wings that gets to jump in if Bryce gets hurt, and that QB does very well, we either have our new QB or at very least a tradable asset.
