  1. Oates isn't a target because of his buyout
  2. I think he’s happy being the best GM in the nba
  3. It’s not fair accompli that Donovan leaves Chicago. That franchise is status quo incarnate

    2025 NFL Draft

    By Mel Kiper, who had Malik Willis going 20th in his final mock in 2022

    2025 NFL Draft

    Banks to Houston at #25 is my favorite realistic (apparently) scenario https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-mock-draft-daniel-jeremiah-3-0
  6. Listening to Vecenie, a couple of mid major coaches he's high on are Ben McCollum (Drake) and Alan Huss (High Point), if we decided to go that route. Also Will Wade, but everyone here already knows about him
  7. I don't think those two will be viewed in the same class
  8. The 2026 year is the 5th year option, fwiw The new guarantees are $64M right? So not fully guaranteed

  10. Think two in our first four picks (maybe even two in our first two picks), and who knows after that
  11. Houston traded a 2025 6th rounder for Ed Ingram, who's been graded out as one of the worst pass blocking OGs in the league. He's dirt cheap though
  12. NE cut their long time starting center who only played four games last year due to a shoulder injury. Houston's new OL coach and OC both have coached him. There's a chance his shoulder is just totaled, but Houston should kick the tires here. Getting an experienced center would help solve a lot of issues https://x.com/MikeReiss/status/1900172923345805416
  13. They already have about a dozen WRs rostered, including a bunch of guys who can play slot. I think they'll pass on him and use the money elsewhere. If they hadn't traded for Kirk, it'd make more sense
  14. And now FSU has also gone this route

  16. Shaka had a $500,000 buyout to leave VCU. Nate Oats has an $18,000,000 buyout to leave Bama. Snyder is probably making the NBA playoffs and will have NBA suiters in the low likelihood chance that Atlanta fires him. It's more productive to list realistic candidates
  17. This isn't college football where your option is to "money whip" a coach you've heard of. Major programs hire successful coaches in myriad ways, including drafting from the mid majors
  18. My personal aversion is that they aren't realistic candidates
  19. Breer "• The second question is what happened with Tunsil that made him expendable. Tunsil, to be clear, is well-liked in the Texans’ building. That said, he isn’t a tone-setter, and the offensive line room in Houston last year went the wrong way, becoming borderline toxic, which adds context to the trade of Kenyon Green and the release of Shaq Mason. That’s part of why the Texans figured they probably wouldn’t give him a third top-of-the-market extension in 2026 after having paid him in ’20 (three years, $66 million) and again in ’23 (three years, $75 million). So with his 31st birthday in August, Houston spent the past few weeks quietly measuring trade interest in Tunsil, and eventually found the right deal—the price they received for the 10-year vet is roughly the equivalent of a late first-round pick in the form of the aforementioned swap of the tackle and a fourth-round pick for a third- and seventh- round selections this year, and second- and fourth-rounders in ’26. That gives them resources to find Tunsil’s replacement, if it’s not someone on the roster such as Tytus Howard or Blake Fisher. Will they be able to get a suitable one? How this trade looks in five years rides on it. And while we’re on the big picture, there’s an element of that in this move for the Texans. DeMeco Ryans has kind of makeup he wants on his defense now, with young stars such as Will Anderson Jr. and Derek Stingley Jr. carrying the flag. He’s still trying to find it on offense, and the hope is turning over the roster some on that side—and finding new leaders—helps. That, by the way, doesn’t mean the Commanders are barking up the wrong tree here. Just as the Texans are betting on their ability to find new pieces for their line, Washington is gambling on its culture with this move, and that putting Tunsil in a group with guys such as Daniels and McLaurin will get the best out of him. Remember, the sorts of questions that exist here on Tunsil were once there on Trent Williams. Peters was part of the group that landed him as a result in San Francisco five years ago, and we know how that turned out."
  20. Samson is in the same bucket as Quinn Snyder, Nate Oats, and Bill Walton. Not happening.
  21. They're a stud DT away from being elite, which is why I was hoping they'd land one in the first round, although now it seems like they might have to take an OL
  22. Top five, perhaps better than that
