  1. Kid just hasn’t given them any reason at all to waste any more time in the minors. He’s ready…
  2. Better to have weed and not need it than to need weed and not have it..
  3. Yeah I’m not too worried; there are still rotational pieces left in FA, plus the draft will shake loose a few veterans; there’s also June 1st cuts and the trade market. Agree with the above that this doesn’t mandate that we take an DT in Round 1. I’d say QB and DE are off the table because of existing talent on the roster, LB, S, RB, and TE because of a combo of positional value and the talent in this particular draft. That leaves WR, OL, DT, and CB - I’m good with BPA from that group, and there’s some good options there. This is a crazy-deep WR group… EDIT - No way in hell we were going $17/year for AA. Good for him, and good for us. I like where we are right now, time to move on to the draft…
  4. Let that be a fucking lesson… Cutting Jimmie Ward would save $3.8MM this year so there’s a little more available if you want to upgrade at more of a center fielder type than a close-to-the line guy. I’m not as down on Pitre as a lot of people, I think if you can put him in a hybrid LB/safety role he can be a playmaker. Cutting Robert Woods adds $5.5MM to that total, so if you want to upgrade Ward there’s $9.3MM available on top of the $21.55 listed above. If you cut Woods you probably want to draft a WR in the first three rounds, which I’d like to do regardless….
  5. Everything worked fine for me with Command Line….
  6. This seems like a good option to me, provided a WR/DB they really like doesn’t unexpectedly fall to 23. I really like the way Sainristil plays, would be a good option for late 2nd round…
  7. Yeah I would expect at least one in the draft to push for Woods’ roster spot, if nothing else to free up $5MM for Nico’s extension…
  8. He has the ability now to sign another FA deal still in his prime with a salary cap that’s God knows how much higher than today. Texans manage to keep a big salary completely within CJ’s rookie deal. I love this shit….
  9. I’ll bet you any amount of money you want to wager that the next WR you pick in the first round won’t put up almost 6,000 yards their first four seasons in the league…. My dad is younger than Bo Nix…
  10. So $5.2-$6.0MM and a 7th rounder for a one-year deal; I can live with that. Pick up a RB in the draft and hope that Dameon Pierce is more productive in Year 2 in the system, and that’s a solid RB core. Still would like to sign/draft a potential starter at G or C….
  11. Didn’t we do this shit last year? Lots of talent still out there, and as much as I wanted Saquon I wouldn’t have gone as high as Philly did for him…
  12. Hopefully more depth/rotation but we’ll see. All of the smoke seems to be around us and Wilkins, in which case it seems likely Greenard is gone and we address the other DE slot in the draft. I do like the idea of putting a badass next to Anderson rather than across from him but we’ll see very soon..
  13. Because he’s only on year 3 of his rookie deal, fat aggy offers no cap savings if cut, so might as well keep him on the roster and see if the light goes on. I’m not holding my breath…
  14. Lot of depth/rotation signings today - Desmond King, Eric Murray, Khalil Davis, and lifetime Longhorn Kris Boyd. Good to get some depth pieces out of the way before Monday. Only saw details on King; $1.8MM base/$2.2MM max, and his deal has to be the biggest of the four…
  15. On either OG shaggy or still HornFans after that dude died there was a link to a post on some site where people were telling JD Horne stories. Someone connected to him from law school (his advisor maybe?) told a story about being at a happy hour and JD saw some chick and was like “Hey, I think I know her”. Dug into his wallet and was like “Yeah, she gave me her business card one night. I’m gonna go over and move in”. He walks over to the chick, talks for a bit, and shows her the card; next thing, she yells something at him and storms off. He comes back to the table and they’re like “JD, what happened?” He laughs and shows them the card, on the back of which he’d written (apparently to jog his memory the next day) “Dumb as shit - big tits”…
  16. Yep, no way to fall low enough to play Tuesday or rise high enough to get a bye until Thursday. Looks to me like we’re locked into playing OU again no matter what, which would be 2:00 on Weds….
  17. You left off Liberty Lunch and the Ritz…
  18. Looks like Schultz (7.9) and Fairborn (1.6) only have a $9.5MM cap charge in 2024, so still almost $63MM in space….
  19. If you could combine Chop’s athleticism and frame with Latu’s technical ability, football IQ, and motor you’d have a top 3 pick. To be fair, Chop has been lauded for his effort and Latu is not unauthentic, but there’s a reason each is in the discussion at 23….
  20. “Forced” my ass, Methusaleh. You were the original inspiration for Jive Talkin’…
  21. Fucking mind blowing how much the momentum has changed around this franchise since the last game of the 2022 season. Future looks really bright for a change. I’d love to back up the proverbial Brink’s Truck for Chris Jones but that realistically wouldn’t be a good call right now. Wilkins is a really good player, and as the article notes he’s durable as hell…
