Can we poach any bottom dwellers in a trade?  Jets or Dolphins?

 

Chubb is available for trade.... I don't know about surrent chubb, but I thought he was going to be like Parsons or have a similar impact....

 

* I think he's getting around 20 million this year....so thats over one mill per game....maybe ask the phins to kick in some $$$$ as well..

I think the main point was saving $$$ and they were able to roll over the cash saving next year too.

*I also think they didn't forsee drafting 2 edges and didn't want lazy clowney to rub off on them. Either one can coast by on shear talent like clowney has for 10 years...

It would have to be the bad influence factor for me to endorse it.
The money they can deal with. I believe there was dead cap from it as it is.

Thats a given. But the point remains that an already struggling pass rush group just lost their best rusher, if you can call him that at this point.

Oh sure, and this is obviously a loss for the defense overall.

But it's not like we're losing someone Brown where it's a massive downgrade to replace him.  There's even a very valid argument to make that with increased snaps, Scourton and/or Princely could end up playing better in a few weeks than Jones would have been playing himself.

Sometimes players just step up their game to a new level when given more of an opportunity.

I think I would part with our second for Trey Hendrickson if he resigns for 3-4 years.

A second rounder who will turn thirty one this season and will be 35 at the end of a huge contract when we still need to find a qb and fill so many other holes? I don't understand the win now mentality on here.  I guess optimism is a good thing but...

      Damn, am I really going to watch Steeler-Bengals on Amazon in a few minutes? Unfortunately, yes, at least for a little bit.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      That falls entirely into the chicken-and-egg of why is he not attempting those throws more frequently: is it because he can't make those throws, or because he isn't asked to make those throws? If the latter, is he  not being asked to make those throws because the coaching staff doesn't believe he can be successful with them, or because they don't believe those types of throws fit their scheme anyways? We can eliminate option A because he clearly can physically push the ball 40+ yards, successfully or not, or there would be zero attempts of that nature. We have no way of determining which of the two factors are the reason for option B because we don't know what the coaching staff's ultimate assessment of both his abilities and of their own conviction about the value of those throws irregardless of player would be. Again, you will be hard-pressed to find many coaches that will value a play that has an 83% or higher failure rate just to "keep the defense honest" when they have more valuable and consistent options at their disposal. But the core of my argument is that it's not like it's an impossibility for Bryce to push the ball downfield, it's simply that it's not the amazing cure-all that some seem to imagine it to be even for elite QBs.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      His ceiling is Alex Smith tier. Not the worst thing to have, but if you have the opportunity to shoot for a Patrick Mahomes you take it.
