REPORT: Cade Mays will hit the free-agent market

[Aussie Tank]

I d like to draft that Indiana C late hes got plenty of experience and a QB don't win a Hiesmen and a National Championship without a solid C

He is incredibly average, I don’t get the love for Cade

You are the 3rd person I've heard talk about Coogan. I looked him up and in addition to your case, he is apparently a great leader, locker room guy, and majors in the best ability which is availability! They are talking about solid depth piece in the draft, but Jeff Saturday had a horrible draft grade and played 10+ years.

best starting center since Ryan kalil but Mays has hit his ceiling

not overpaying for mays is the right call

I guess some fans have already forgotten the Paradis/Elflein days.

Center should remain a top priority.

weirdly I agree with both of you. Which is why I wouldn't mind a center being drafted early this year. Seems like it fills both needs

Icky going down really fowled things up.  Getting a suitable LT and OC early is a tall task.  And if we pull that off we have to ignore other severe needs.

We’re still two really good drafts away (at least) from retooling this roster, to be a year in, year out contender for our division.  Draft the LOT and C this year if the stars align and we don’t reach.  Starting two rookies on the OL will be ugly this upcoming season but it has to be done to balance out the huge misallocation of cap to the OL.  We’ll just have to fill in the other needs with cap friendly FA’s while we rebuild longer term through the draft.

I won't mind Mays back on 2-3 year very team friendly deal if we can't find an upgrade

We'll see how Morgan navigates it. For all the resources we tied up in two OG's in free agency I would argue Center had been our biggest problem going back to 2020. We need quality depth there. The problem now is Morgan's panic signings in Lewis and Hunt paired with the now very murky future of Icky make this even trickier.

Ya know. It sure would have been nice to draft a future Center a few years ago instead of an already injured RB.

I try to listen to you. I try to see if you offer any true perspective,  that I miss. 

The signings of Hunt and Lewis were not of panic.   They were well calculated. 

Now it's obvious you didn't care for the signings, although that's not how you offer up your perspective. You throw poo against the wall. 

Makes trying to listen to anything else you post, a waste of time.

I don't like this update, but in Dan I trust.
