    Thank you chicago. Was thinking an offense of Fields, swift, kmet, moore, Allen and Harrison Jr would’ve been tough to stops


    Now it’s no Harrison Jr and a rookie QB

    Eh, wide receivers are a dime a dozen, right?

    He probably would have held out if they weren’t  going to extend him.  I doubt he goes anywhere with just one year left. 

    As opposed to staying in LA with one year left? Post a list of all the 30+ year old non-QBs in NFL history who have held out of an $18MM deal…

    Keenan Allen is always hurt, would have been a waste of 18m.

    Did you watch the NFL last year? Compare Keenan Allen’s numbers to Nico; this would have been a hell of a one-year rental. He missed some time with injury in 2022; other than that he’s caught at least 95 passes every year since 2016. It didn’t work out, but a dude like this on a one-year deal would be huge for CJ’s development. This is real football, not your fucking fantasy team….

    We shot 43 percent from the field and 48 percent from 3 (13 makes) which against that team was pretty awesome. Ivey had a bad game and Mouton was inefficient but Ford pretty much did what we needed to do to break down the zone (13 assists). 
     

    Problem was Cuse shot 58 percent from the floor and that Texas team could defend across everything and it didn’t matter. Melo destroyed us and that was that. 

    It quit mattering years ago, and probably wouldn’t have mattered that night, but with 43 seconds left we were down by 5 and Syracuse was inbounding on the sideline, and their inbound guy took three lateral steps, which should have been our ball.

    tl;dr - that loss sucked but that year was fun as hell…

    Front row for Tesla/Def Leppard there in '87, didn't know who Tesla was, watching that fucker for Leppard playing the drums with one hand was pretty cool. That's all I got.

    That was an epic week of national tours; within an 8-day span you had that show, U2, and two consecutive nights of Pink Floyd. The 2nd of those Floyd shows is when I definitively answered the question “Is it possible to die from an overdose of LSD?” (shockingly, no!)

    The FEC was a shit venue for music and basketball, but for better or for worse it was what we had. Probably my worst experience there was paying $29 (a lot of fucking money for me back then) to see a Tyson fight on closed-circuit and being in the pisser when he knocked out Michael Spinx in the first 35 seconds or some such shit…

  6. 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…

    He did before drafting Kenyon Green

    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….

    I think trading down in the first might be a decent option. In the 2nd round you might have Legette, Sweat/Jordan Morgan, Sainristil, Powers-Johnson/Jordan Morgan...

    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…

    Unless there’s someone they can’t pass on, like Brian Thomas Jr at 23 or Legette at 59

    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…

    How do you get him on a two year deal ?

    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….

    Now that KC is gone, I wouldn’t be opposed to trading JJ. WRs are a dime a dozen.

    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….

    Darnold could be decent.   He’s younger than Bo nix I think

    My dad is younger than Bo Nix…

  12. 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….

    Replacement for Rankins?

    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..
