It sounds like he could still be on the market next month so if we have a little left over after signing our draft picks, we should consider bringing him in assuming he is willing to play for only 1.5-2.5 million because that is the most we can afford to pay (if that).

why? our LB corp is nothing to complain about, and he has been in the league for 11 yrs already.

He is a natural DE. He was moved to LB when Dallas switched to a 3-4 defense. He never liked it, and prefers to play DE. You can never have too many good linemen.

unless he moves to DT..i say we have too many DE..that will not be here long we need to get young players that can give us that pass rush we need.

big mixed feelings about this one. love the experience factor he would bring. i don't see him as being a long term solution and i think i would rather see us develop our other DEs...get the future bookends, johnson and brown as much PT as possible.

as far as moving him to DT...maybe on passing downs. i don't know. he's same height but about 20 pounds lighter than brayton. not sure about that going against the interior and not sure he would like that anymore than being an OLB. still, he would be solid for a year, maybe 2...and something that we would need if peppers isn't here which he most likely will be. peppers could stand to have someone here he looks up to, though.

      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.
