TBH, this is still a bottom 10 defense on paper. BUT, probably not a bottom 2 defense.

I don't think so. Maybe bottom 15, but hopefully not bottom 10. DB returning to the lineup is a major deal. Tuttle is now the back up NT instead of the starter. Wharton and Jones II are upgrades over Crumedy and Barno. Moehrig was top 10 amongst safeties for run defense.

Grab a FS plus another body or three in the draft and Evero can go back to running his disguised cover-4 looks.

I do think that we are going to possibly running thin at LB + DB tho... gonna need guys to stay healthy and the offense to take the next step.

The New Orleans Saints restructured the contracts of offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz and defensive linemen Carl Granderson and Khalen Saunders.

 

The Saints turned part of Saunders' base salary and roster bonus into a signing bonus and added a 2029 void year, lowering his cap number from $4.6 million to $2.5 million. Granderson's new cap number is $6.482 million (down from $11.73 million). Ruiz's new cap number is $5.8 million (down from $12.25 million). The moves opened up at least $13.5 million in space. -- Katherine Terrell, Saints reporter

Well, keep in mind our DL is basically two starting caliber players and a lot of rotational guys. Same with our LB's/EDGE guys. 

Make no mistake, ON PAPER, it's squarely a bottom 10 unit. We just need to make some quality additions in the draft and perhaps we can move towards being a mediocre unit.

No one should have any illusions of a sudden top 10 unit. You don't come from as bad a unit as we had(not statistically, I mean from a pure talent standpoint) and make it into a good unit in just one offseason. It's gonna take a LOT of work.

But, the vision they are projecting is clear. Get younger. So they are operating as if they are aware this is a long term process. I don't agree with everything they have done but I am happy they are finally self aware enough to realize this isn't going to turn around quickly and we aren't 1-2 players away. That was MURDEROUS during the Rhule Reign of Terror.

It ain't the Saints if they aren't kicking the can!

If you wanted an idea of how bad our team actually was/is, precisely one of our free agents was signed yesterday. 

Darnold and Mayfield making $100m each and their stats since leaving are better than Young's career so far.

Seattle fans are really going to be crapping their pants after season 1 of Darnold. I don't know if that new HC was on board with that signing but he's probably headed out the door when Darnold does in a couple of years.

Sources: Giants reached agreement today with former Dolphins free-agent safety Jevon Holland. Deal done by Kyle McCarthy and David Mulugheta.

 

The Giants filled a major need on Tuesday morning and did so with a really good player. NFL Media is reporting they are signing Dolphins safety Jevon Holland to a 3-year, $45M deal with $30.3 million in guarantees. Really nice move for New York.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
