Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

The definition of a jag journeyman. I wish him the best for us.

At this point in the offseason, unless/until there are some cap casualty cuts, pretty much any signing we're going to make will be JAGs.

Which is fine, you can only upgrade so many starting spots in any given offseason with long term players, I think between FA and the draft we had a really good offseason, maybe our best in a long time.  

Show a season of growth, particularly if Bryce can prove to be a long term solution and then next season we focus on a few more key signings, a couple DB's and LB's, with the possibility of an elite pass rusher pending how these young guys do this year and we have the makings of a solid playoff caliber team.

Man DM needs to move on a Jalen Ramsey trade to help our young WR grow against a seasoned vet

Horn is better than Ramsey at this point and I'd rather not use the cap space needed for Ramsey's contract and just roll it over into our cap next offseason to use for signing a younger player who can grow with the team.

If Miami wants to trade him, given them having playoff aspirations if Tua can stay healthy (even though I still don't see them as actual SB contenders), then it's a sign that he's on a strong decline right now and not worth the contract.

All good points but our depth behind Horn (who notoriously gets hurt) is horrendous.....I guess DM is gambling on our rush putting enough pressure on QB to help with inadequate depth/talent on the back end of our defense

Fair, but even with Ramsey and a healthy Horn for 17 games, we're still not a contender and still might not even be a playoff team anyways.  So even if Horn goes down and we had Ramsey, we're still screwed.

Which is why if it's make that trade or don't use the cap space, I'd rather roll it over to next offseason to have more cap room anyways.  If we're talking about trading for a 26 year old with a big contract, totally different, but not someone who turns 31 this season.

Hell, if we're talking anything with Ramsey, I'd be more curious if they think he has the right skill set to be our Free Safety move.

If he can make the Charles Woodson move from elite CB to elite S late in his career, then you might be cooking with some gas.

That's would be interesting. Bringing back Bradbury off the street for the same move could also be a long shot option

Horn has yet to be better than Ramsey to date. I am sure that will change eventually but Ramsey is still(including last season) a better CB than Horn.

I don't think you will see Miami move on from Ramsey this season anyway. The cap hit would be pretty extreme. That is a more likely move next offseason.

I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
