still not sure about that whole corbett to center thing. 

we have to draft a guy. 

That's my biggest worry on the offense line. Will he stay healthy and be able to hold down the job? If not who replaces him, another scrub? I want a long term solution found before Colbert breaks down as he most likely will.

This is a good year to draft a center.  A starter capable rookie to back up Colbert should be available at our first three picks.

MHS was on to something when he suggested that we need 3-4 of our O line starters on rookie contracts at any point in time.

Our offensive line has to be elite.  I think Morgan has done a good job, at least on paper, of giving us a great offensive line.  If our RBs can run through this line than it is going to make it much easier for Young to pass the ball when needed.  I think D. Johnson is going to have a monster year with this offense.  Even if we draft a rookie WR he will be the #1 target for Young.

There are several additions to this team that could be busts or they could be great.  This first group of free agents will define Morgan going forward.   I have always been optimistic and believe most of these guys will perform well. 

We'll see but if we can put a competitive team on the field, regardless of our final record, I will be happy going forward.

Well, we have one so lots of work to do. Our OL is probably up there for most expensive right now because we barely drafted OL since 2017 and the best OL we’ve drafted since 2017 is BC.

We just need to get to a place where we can keep drafting OL every year.

hate to start a rookie on OL.  Best thing is to let Corbet handle it this year, his final year on contract.  Use one of our first 3 picks on c and let him learn a year and strengthen up.

We're getting lucky  on that position.  One of Van Pran-Granger out of Georgia, Barton out of Duke or Frazier out of WVA would get the job done.

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
