I'm guessing Sanders' money is somewhere north of Nicks and south of Golden & Decker...closer to Nicks. Same age as Nicks and deadly with the ball in his hands. If we miss out on Nicks, shouldn't we go all-in on Sanders. I mean, there's no stud OTs left and Sanders would be the last stud WR if Nicks is taken. Jones (age) and Eddleman (size/age) do not want. Cam has lost 45% of his starters including the two most important positions....blind side LT and top receiving target. He, more than us has probably been like, WTF.

I honestly think Gettleman expected things to go little different for him. It seems like we missing out on all our FA targets. But to be fair he had his hands tied thanks to Hurney.

Let's hope DG can do some magic and able to pull a rabbit out of a hat. I was expecting to have at least one hole covered on OL or WR with above average talent but we missed on everything.

How much is the Hardy signing playing in our FA spending....or there lack of. I know how important Hardy is to our defense, but downgrading one of our DEs might have allowed us to balance our OTs, WRs, CBs and S positions. I guess I wish the long term deal was already hammered out so that we could spend the anticipated free money the way NO did to land an All-Pro safety.

Carrying $20M in dead cap space is what is killing us....thanks to Hurney.

      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.
