Yes…non contact injuries are usually serious. I thought Achilles too unfortunately. Losing him will be another hit to an already suspect defense. 

To be honest, I would think it would be kind of hard to walk when you tear your Achilles. He walked into the tent and out of the tent and got onto the medical cart

Damn...  I thought I remembered when we signed him, many were posting his pff grades and stats from last year and saying that we essentially signed the same production we got from Burns for a bargain bin deal.  I thought he was regarded as a really good value signing.

Yeah and I laughed at all of them. His pass rush grade from pff was like 20 pts lower than Burns last season. Last season Wonnum had three times the pass rush chances that Burns did. Hence why I kept saying he was one of the least efficient pass rushers…

Kobe shot free throws, walked off the court and into the locker room when he tore his Achilles. 

The fact they haven't given any sort of "less serious" update since he was carted off - and the fact that they carted him off after checking him out and called it a heel injury are generally all bad signs.

Competitive we can be but this is a very bad roster and we haven't been playing high caliber opponents the past two weeks. Make no mistake, we are going to see some humbling losses several times this season still. 

There is zero reason to be making any "win now" moves. That's how we ended up with the worst roster in franchise history. 

I'm not mad at patience.  We may see our projected outcome differently, but even if we make no additions, I'm still very high on Barno's potential, so I'm hoping he could surprise us with his contributions once he's back.

Hes not happy with the Jets because he hasn't been paid. We have no money to give him plus he's 30...we'd have to trade draft capital AND shell out a good amount of cash to get him to play. Unfortunately this is the bed we've made and no one is coming to save us this season. I'm hoping for a few exciting wins as long as Dalton stays healthy I just don't think there's anyway we compete for the division but we'll see

Barno is what he had always been, a special teams player with his ceiling basically as a part time backup Edge. There is no superstar waiting to break out.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. He is who he was supposed to be as a 6th round draft pick.

There are a LOT of quality edge rushers set to be UFAs next season. As much as I want to spend a high draft pick on a pass rusher I also would prefer that the team sign and start a vet that's proven in the league. Not exactly a fan of "draft a rookie to save this part of the team" mentality that has taken hold the last few seasons.

If the team can pick up a vet EDGE and draft a high ceiling prospect... yes pls!

It's also a completely unnecessary addition. Adding him probably changes the outcome of zero games this season.

We don't need a pass rusher, we need pass rushers. We literally don't have a single non-replacement level pass rusher on the entire roster.

That isn't a mid-season trade fix, that's a 2-3(or more) offseasons of intelligent free agent signings and draft picks fix. Elite and competent pass rushers don't grow on trees.

He's exaggerating Wonnum had a good year last year... also even if he's very average HE is an upgrade over what we have.

Our cap is going to be tight next year. Corbs and Horn’s contract are coming due, plus do we let DJ walk? Vet edges are pretty pricey…

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
