We seem to be stockpiling RB's like they are gold bullion or something. Who is in desperate need of a back?

Cleveland Hillis gone

Cincy Benson gone

Denver McGahee is troubled

Pitts Mendenhall is finished

T Bay No matter how desperate, we will not trade with them

Add Pats to the list of teams that also need a "good" back

Those are just 5 and Richardson will land at one of those spots.

I think Denver is key.

They do not have time for rebuilding. They have a 3-4 year window, so I think their second rounder would be used in a trade for a proven back. Again, they have to hit homeruns with each pick. PFT is already talking about them getting Wallace with their first pick. Every guy they get has to be able to do the job, they have a predetermined window.

i don't think any trade is going to be made any time soon nor should it be.

if we want to trade one of them away, it should be in mid season next year when a team is really desperate and more willing to be raped...you know, when demand is at it's peak. right now, though, more effort should be put into how to turn the backfield we have right now into a nightmare for DCs.

No money for Wharton, no money for Schwartz. Otah = ??

Guess we will have a lot of faith in the OLine for this shiny new stable of backs.

I don't think we wanted to sign Schwartz back and Wharton wasn't worth what we were paying him. I would feel better if we added a couple more guys though. Maybe trade down and get Decastro if things break a certain way.

i think we wanted both guys back, but at a much cheaper rate.

we'll find the right guys. i hope that we can use the same strategy that we used a few years ago bringing in a bunch of low risk guys and let them fight it out in TC.

of course we should take advantage of the depth and talent at OG in the draft, but hopefully we can get a 3rd round pick or use the 4th rounder on a guy that slipped through the cracks. it's going to happen.

agreed. there will be a deal worked out between DW and JS so both stay here. A deal that works out for all and will probably blow everybody's minds. Rivera is making the offense even stronger for reason and it's not to win by only 10 points.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
