Drew lock is satisfactory for likely wayy cheaper and the seahawks are cap strapped. During a rebuilding year I'd take Drew lock at like 4-6mil and clear double digit cap space than geno at 30 mil and not that extra cap space

lol Drew Lock is a significant downgrade from the last 2 years of Geno. You can't buy that gap with cap space either.

Lifespan posted:

There was no way in hell Carroll or Belichick were going to find another HC position. While they are both very successful coaches, they are going to have specific approaches, will want to have a say in personnel, and would not be open to being a "bridge coach." They both appear to be in good health (I mean Pete is in incredible health for his age), but they are completely of the age where a case of pneumonia could lead to their retirement. No team is going to make that kind of gamble.

This makes no sense at all. It was taken for granted that Belichick was going to get a job and he should've got the Falcons job if the morons in the FO who are awesome at winning 7 games every year didn't get to Blank.

He�s got a ring more recently than Bill, so maybe!

But even if Raheem ends up being a bad hire that doesn�t mean Bill would have been a good one. He�s a geriatric control freak that learned nothing from the last 4 years of mediocrity. Atlanta doesn�t have a roster that�s ready to compete and Bill sure as poo poo isn�t the guy to get them there.

The fact that you can be so sure that a guy who won the super bowl 6 times has lost it and forgot how to coach is remarkable.

FizFashizzle posted:

I do not think Burns is worth that contract, and I think currently he's at best the third best player on the Panthers defense. ]

I do not think Burns is a game changing, every down play wrecker that has to be accounted for. I think he's primarily a speed rusher who struggles to bring down larger qbs. He settles for swat attempts, especially last year. He can be a liability in the run.

The Panthers will never get an offer comparable to what the Rams offered, though that wasn't as good as most people remember since they were firsts in 2024/2025, with the Panthers getting nothing for 2023.

If the Panthers do decide to move on, I can't imagine anyone giving him even what the Panthers were offering. I feel like he's going to spend his whole career signing effectively 2 year deals with contenders that think they're one pass rusher away, and that's fine.

Conversely, he'll end up in Buffalo.

buffalo isn't in a cap position to pay him. von miller 23 million on the cap lol lmao

Not sure if this is a hot take, but I would kind of love Tyler Boyd in free agency. Seems like the type of reasonably priced, highish floor player you should target. Go get him and trade for Cortland Sutton or something.

Bakhtiari, OTOH? Stay the gently caress away.

Do you really think they are going to do Boyd plus another one? It would be Boyd plus their shitbrained wishful thinking that A A Ron coming back will make Lazard good again.

For Sutton? Sure. I think that's good business if you can get him for a mid or late-rounder. His contract has two years left at reasonable cap hits (which aligns well with the Rodgers window) and his skillset with mesh well with Wilson. I'd rather pay him and, I dunno, Boyd or Curtis Samuel like $20 million a year than pay Calvin Ridley $25 million a year or whatever stupid deal he's going to get.

What are the needle-moving options you won't be mad about?

I listed a few guys who might shake loose. Lockett, Cooks and Godwin. Mike Williams too but he's such an injury risk I'm not sure if I'd do it.

I dunno about the names you listed. Cooks and Lockett are fine players (Lockett especially) but I don�t think the Jets need smaller guys behind Wilson.

You�re right that unexpected names always become available and those are the players the Jets will need to get creative with and chase.

Those guys are highly productive all the time unlike pretty much any of the other guys available. Give me that over 6'3 any day.
