As much as Dayo didn't show anything, Poles ain't dumping him. At worst a depth piece and maybe he can be productive. Hard to judge injured players. Turner is a ❓ but injuries again came into play. Jarrett was injured and looked better when he got healthy. For every player you get rid of, we have to replace. You can't expect a lot of rookies to walk in and play well so they will take a chance on existing players to be better and draft in fit in the rotation. In FA generally everyone gets over paid and we have limited funds to sign good players. The bulk of our team is existing players, a few free agents and the rookies. If we trade for a big name, it's only going to fill one spot. We're not a 5 win team anymore so this will be engineered, not a rebuild. We will count on our rookie class to get better. What screws everything up this year is probably having to add an asset at LT that will eliminate a DL addition.

Lots of these. They fire me when I watch them. We are going to be very good.

This is a good article and I love your sense of humor. They don't have a first round pick this year.

Exhibit 1 https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1MfG8jFpHz/

Here's a mock off season. I don't agree with everything but it's not bad. I think this is the site PHX mentioned.

In 2027 we have 70 mil space and 2028 288 mil. According to OTC. We have future money to play with. Poles set up for everything to gone the year we have to pay Caleb. I think what some are overlooking are improvements coming from injured players coming back and players growing. We are now a contender so the major changes won't be necessary. Offense: if everyone comes back with our roster, we have a question at LT with potential assets of Theo, Kiran or move Wright. So we need to resign a restricted FA McFadden and add another OL. Besides the starters we have Newman, McFadden and Theo or Kiran. Stromberg has a futures contract. So add 1 maybe 2. QB is good TE has two with Carlson and Cathlic. Add 1? RB has 3 and Brown and Haskins. Add 1 if Johnson is gone. WR has the top 3 back with Walker with several end of the roster types.Add 1 or 2? The offense has a few minor adjustments to make. The defense has Jarrett healthy for now , Dayo coming back? Booker and Sweat as starters, Turner coming back and Dexter. Several end of the roster players.We are going to add 3 maybe 4. LBers have Edmunds ( if not cut) Edwards, Amen, Sewell, Hyppolite. A couple end of the roster players. They need 2? CBs are good if everyone is healthy. JJ, Stevenson, Gordon, Blackwell and Terrell Smith. Zak Fraiser is a ❓ Several end of the roster players. Ss , we need 4. We can add help in the draft, resign a few FAs, FAs and if we trade for someone. We can get that all done with restructure of contracts and a few cuts. Now if we get a high end guy we will have to add more Cap space. Overall we are not that far away. We have 57 signed for next year.

I think the concept of being on a SB bound team may keep him here on a user friendly deal. He's not a tier one so no one is giving him that kind of money. I would give him a 2 year extension with the last year voidable to get this years cap space down. 27-28 are cap friendly years before we have to pay Caleb.

Adam if you want to put that together, I'll take a 100 share.

I have to wait until I get home anyway. I'll do a search to find the best odds. +200 is +200, I'll take what I can get. After this coming year, we won't be getting big odds for a long time.

They have a plan, it could be Wright with Theo on the right but Kiran is a wildcard as to his future but what if it happens? Or draft one.

I'm going to place a bet, I saw +2500 for the bears to win the SB That's worth 50 to me.

Those are all likely and think they may resturture Swift to create more money. Could we get by with Monangai as lead back? I think so. A late round speedster as the second back could do it. Will Johnson be cut or healthy as a third back? Only time will tell. I seen people say sign Walker, a oft injured player being high priced off of a SB. No

Defense took the day for sure but I would bet my house we scored more points against Seattle than NE did. We are on the right track. If we get 100% health of JJ, Gordon, and Terrell Smith. Plus our starting LBs and we are already better. A healthy Turner, Dayo and a whole year of Jarrett at 100% may help the DL but we clearly have to add more on the DL. We need better depth because we are never going to have complete health.

As far as the game goes I was hoping no team scored a TD just making it ironic having changed the rules to favor offense. Maye is the second best QB of that year but had a bad game and we have the best and will be in a SB in the next two years. IMO I didn't know if we could have beaten Seattle this year but definitely think we would have beaten NE.

The NFL had Bunny because of his global exposure and want to expand their views but was disrespectful to the USA fan base. If it had him with a mix of musicians in English it would have been fine but picked an anti American figure that pissed off half their audience. I saw one BB video where he's burning the flag. Why bring a controversial figure with so many great choices to choose from? It was a great production but had a couple of political statements in that production. I've seen Kid Rock before and it's a great show, so I choose something I liked instead of something I didn't understand in Spanish. The halftime show should have artists where fans know the songs. I've been to tons of concerts and 25,000 people singing along with a song is great energy. Lots of different genres fit that . The alternative halftime show was the second most watched live show of all time on YouTube but of course it dwarfs the BB show because that was attached to a SB game. Maybe this wakes up the NFL to have artists everyone can like instead of alienating half their audience.

I heard Nagy is the OC in New York.

True,I didn't know any names but now are familiar with who some pundits rate high for expectations. Draft Buzz is a good information site and I always get Dane Bulger guide free on The Athletic. This is always the most interesting time of the year for me but different this year because we don't need a rebuild but tweaking the roster.

Agree on everything. I guess that what makes it so interesting, the key is a team having good draft instincts and coaches coaching them up. AND they still screw up

I never have any problem when pundits discuss the possibly of actions happening but it's always ( breaking news) type sensationalization like they have special information that bugs me.

You may be right, I thought I saw that in a couple of sources but they could have just been fedding off each other. Totally understand the rumor thing, I see people saying we're getting Crosby, Garrett, Hendrickson like it's a fact. Hard to find actual facts anymore on the internet and now we are being introduced to AI, it's going to be the wild wild west out there.

They will never replace that, 49ers, both New York teams , anyone that's moved never seem to have identity issues. Indiana has East Chicago as a name sake, maybe a small E gets added?

Of course I'm kidding around but saying I'm a fan where ever they go is very true. Now if Chicago replaced the bear's with another team, I may look at that differently.

There are generally anywhere from 15 to 20 blue chip players in most drafts experts say. Not sure I would call it a dead zone but you are correct in saying the next 20 to 55 players are closely rated. Last year had several good players taken after pick 20 . There is a draft site that lists who are the most accurate at drafting forecasting every year. I'll try to find it . Not sure where draft buzz was listed but it's a very well done information site for sure. Anytime you get draft picks like Monangai as a 25th rated RB by almost every site, you realize it's just all a crap shoot and to be taken for a grain of salt. GMs get stuff wrong all the time and they get paid big money to be experts.
