Early NFL offseason chatter

I'm surprised Ewers is entering the draft instead of getting a huge NIL payday to transfer somewhere else next year.

I'd have to imagine he'd pull in a few million as a transfer, which basically would be how much he'd get on a full mid round pick rookie contract, while also maybe having a good season and working his way into a higher draft pick.

NIL seems the same bet but then again he might be QB3 this year. Next year's QB draft should be considerably better. Honestly, this year looks like Cam Ward or bust IMO.

I couldn't see him being drafted in even the 2nd round this year, and 3rd rounders get a 4 year contract for $5.5-6 million.

With how much NIL the top QB's can get as transfers, I'd have to think someone like him could get at least 2, if not 3 million for just next season.  As long as he doesn't poo the bed, he's still likely a 3/4 round pick anyways, with the potential to work his way into the 1st or 2nd which would then get him a bigger contract as well.

Now if he's being told he won't fall past the 2nd, then sure, maybe it makes more sense, but I'd be surprised if that's what he's hearing and will end up happening.

I could definitely see some QB needy team taking him in the second.

Maybe, but the QB needy teams know they aren't going to be great next year anyways.  I'd rather go with a Jameis or sign Cousins once he's cut and just draft someone in a better QB draft next year, than possibly waste a 2nd round pick on a guy who may never be a starting QB in this league.

    • 1. Nothing. He's under contract. He may have been up for an extension before the injury but now you sit and wait it out.  2. He's an ERFA. Tender him at a high level for little money and then he's a RFA after next season where we have the right to match any offer he fields. Zero pressure to do anything here long-term. 3. I'd probably take literally any trade offer made. If there aren't any you bring him to camp to compete and see what happens. 4. I honestly expect an OT in the first 3 rounds with Moton's age and possible degenerative knee issues combined with Icky's serious injury. We have both immediate and long-term need there. A stopgap bandaid vet feels necessary either way. 5. Sign a legit vet (Chenal). Re-sign Rozeboom at backup contract levels. Then LB is high on the list in the draft. 6. Yes. He looked good down the stretch. I'd always have a late round RB as a potential pick though. It's top of the list for positions where you can find surprising value deep in the draft. Plus I just want to stack talent there so I don't have to pay vets. RB is a draft 'em and let somebody else pay 'em position unless you have a truly elite talent there. Don't pay "good" ones. 
    • 1.) Resign BC and Yosh. Find a short term answer in Free Agency. 2.) Give Coker a 2 year contract and see how he responds. Something like 9 mil for 2 years. Big deal follows that. We just dont wanna have to pay TMac and Coker in the same offseason.  3.) From everything I've heard, he's getting another season minimum. If he doesn't show up I could see us getting rid of him during the '27 offseason. We're probably holding out hope that he can spontaneously perform like he did in college again.  4.) If I had to guess.... this is about where the 3rd round of the draft comes in. Cade was cool but we could do better.  5.) Prediction: we'll take a shot at a splash signing in FA like Llyod or Bush but have Dean and Chenal on speed dial incase it falls out. I also think we might end up double dipping in the draft. I wouldn't be too mad at a trade down and grabbing CJ Allen late first and Tuarean York(sleper) in the 4th. If we stay at 19 and Styles is gone I think we're going Offense at 19. Wouldn't be the smartest move imo but I could see us grabbing Lemon, KC Concep, or Saddiq.   6.) Chubba could still carry the bulk of the load but my gut is telling me if Brooks can get back to atleast 75%, he'll end up a better version of Rico. That's still the ? tho. Etienne's work ethic will keep him on the roster but it wouldn't surprise me to us draft one late and bring in a FA option. We've always stacked rb's under Canales.
