The Jokeman

Cameron Brate might be a cap casualty, he could also be a good 2nd TE here as I can't see him costing a lot of cap money toss in wouldn't count against the UFA loss/gain formula. Also he'd be cheaper than a WR. Thoughts?

Tua's not shown in 3 seasons he can last a full 17 games. Toss in he struggles in cold weather. I don't think they'd wise to go after Brady or keep Tua.

Ryan Bates can slide into the C when Mitch finally leaves. I can't see us bringing Singletary back with way Cook took over the starting spot in 2022 and with Hines coming in as a #2 more. We should draft someone that can compete for touches/be a hammer when needed but drafted later than sooner.

The biggest issues is the detractors rarely come up with a viable replacement. I'm all ears who people think be a better coaching staff for this team and why? I have doubts as look at KC's playoff game last year, trying to outscore teams in a shootout not the best way to win. The reason we've been so good in the regular season is our D and O both played better in the redzone than they did against Cincy.

Meyers is an UFA this season, I wouldn't mind adding him tbh.

A'Shawn Robinson from the Rams would be nice.

Shockingly he returns to New England, https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35516310/sources-bill-obrien-returns-new-england-patriots-oc Man Belichick seems to stick to "his" guys.

Knox isn't a great blocking TE which hurts, toss in outside of Morse and Dawkins the rest of our offensive line are average guys. I'm not sure if someone can teach it but Cook seeming always trips himself not sure why. if Singletary walks we just need a plugger. To me Chris Rodriguez Jr. would fit the roll and not cost high draft capital.

and the Browns taking Baker over Josh and the Jets taking Sam over Josh. No team is perfect in drafting.

He was a top 10 pick and he hasn't shown to be a consistent pass rusher. Jeffery Simmons from the same draft class has 6.5 more sacks in 5 less games with arguably a lesser surrounding cast.

Quinton Spain was good during his one season here, I don't think John Brown was over paid. I could continue but am sure you'd dispute it.

I'm a sore loser, I don't want to see any AFC to win a Superbowl unless it's us.

If a team like Indy hires Callahan gets at HC, drafts a CJ Stroud and offers Higgins $110 million would he walk? It's nice to think the players will give a "home town" discount but more than not they look to cash in.

It's because we don't have a backup TE worth a damn on this roster. Morris at best is a number 3.

I can't see Tee sticking around when his contact ends, obviously Chase is the alpha dog there yet Tee and Boyd are the guys that make your passing game the scary thing it is IMHO. Chase reminds me of Diggs in many ways.

We thought the same going into last off season but some how got Von Miller.

Just Average Guys.

Da'quan is not Chris but was our best Lineman after we loss Miller.

And plays a key role in their offense.

McDermott had Luke Keachley at MLB. Edmunds not nearly as talented. Toss in Taron Johnson is a good nickel CB but isn't a true big nickel in the Thomas Davis/Shaq Thompson sense.

It's cuz Hodgins was starting with the Giants and as you eluded been around 3 years. Shakir is a rookie. Would I like Hodgins now to be our slot guy? Hell yeah but Shakir to me a more complete player.

Boyd won't get a massive deal but might get a deal the Bengals can't match for a role player. As a team looking to improve their WR might give him a rich contract that enough to want to leave or feel more wanted is all I'm saying.

I knew the Bengals were a tough matchup for our D so I wasn't too upset with losing. A little shocked our O wasn't better. But it is what it is, a good season that got beset by injuries when Von Miller went down I had doubts so didn't get as emotionally invested as did in prior years.

Hodgins couldn't stay healthy nor play on ST. That's why he didn't stick around here.

Zach Davidson is intriguing if he shows he could be a TE/Punter hybrid yet not sure he'll get enough of a chance to develop.
