In response to letting Greg hardy walk away in FA.

"Sitting down with Dave Gettleman and talking with him about the direction we're gonna head and how we're gonna get things done, they're gonna work to get that taken care of, so I'm pretty excited about that. I like the fact that we're gonna have our guys as we go forward."

wow didn't see this coming... I must admit I thought GH was gone.... Maybe TD punked him in recent comments? I have mixed feelings about signing but DG knows better than us. I got a feeling we're going to be cutting some people. Peace out Captain, Godfrey, and unproductive O-men. nevertheless, I guess our next question is what's gonna happen with the oline, secondary, and much needed #1WR.

i saw the interview...pretty good stuff. from him i got that WR and CB were priorities.

 

they are still in eval process on their own roster, but looking to see what's available in the draft.

I got a feeling DG is expecting McNutt will make a splash this season. hahaha.... but seriously, I'm cool with us fixing these areas. Ginn and Mitchell are must haves unless we're upgrading. they have set a new standard.

sometimes the answer is on the roster. sometimes the answer is in the draft.

 

we need help at OL, WR, and CB...and it just so happens that this draft class is deep there.

 

we'll still see a lot of one year low cost deals this year, but we won't be the only team with them. that will probably be the case with the majority of FAs this year.

Well.... I don't think anyone of really wants to see the Kraken in another jersey. Let's just hope other other fears are put to ease and we don't over spend. 

Real question would you rather have Nicks or Hardy?

the last thing we want to see is GH lined up against the Bell...

I actually love Greg Hardy I do! But we are a secondary away from a mirror image of seattles defence!

Offensively we need two new tackles all our guards back healthy our RBs back healthy and if we keep smitty and got Olsen we need atleast two starters at WR out of the draft or FA! By keeping hardy which yes is great, but unless gettleman been lying to us and we got a poo ton of dollars there is now way we can resign this guy and have a much more effective offense than last year, so expect the same defensive games offense putting up ten points.

I'm not being a doomsday either before people start saying that, but it's like we keep one guy to sacrifice about four positions of real need, makes no sense to me, hope the front office has a good plan up its sleeve.

I have a feeling we'll be better this next season than last.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
