No, MS, the team has the option after the 2025 season to tag him at $13 mil. for 2026. That’s the current rate for RB tags.

May the Road rise to meet you. May the Wind always Be at you’re Back. May the Sun always Shine on You’re Face, The Rains fall soft Upon you’re Fields. And until we meet again. May God hold you in the Palm of his Hand. Thats an Irish Toast, or can be considered a poem, and we’ve said this my entire life on St. Patty’s Day. It’s also said at all of my Irish funerals. My family is heavily invested in Irish- American traditions. As far as this past week, I’m not surprised, but very happy with what Beane, McD, and Terry have done as the Pegulas had to sign off on these moves.

This is why I get my hopes up, but never believe these guys. It’s always about the $. They have a limited amt of time to make generational $. I can’t blame them if they can scare the crap out of the current team. You just never know how much the current team wants to keep someone.

Benford if they can swing it. We have 2 years left on Cook, if next year they tag him. Then moving on as he doesn’t block nor play a lot on special teams. $15 mil. reminds me of Dr. Evil wanting a bajillion Jillian $. Dr. Evil, it’s 1969. That $ doesn’t even exist.

At this point the best cost savings and value is to extend Benford as hell cost more next year, and we need him. We have 10 draft pics, so bundle what you can Beane to move up a little if there is a trade partner, and hope for the best. I was all in on Garret, but it’s the game.

I think Virg nailed it. Extend JA, and that frees up a ton of space to extend Benford. If they create enough space they can aggressively go after Garrett and maybe Metcalf. Beane, you’re either in or not.

I thought Tyrod wasn’t retained by the Jests. They should also draft a developmental guy with one of the 2 6th rd picks. The other should be a kicker. Just my two cents.

The funniest skit on Jeremy and Joes show in the am is the Let’s get stupid bit. My idea is we don’t need draft picks for Mack, just $, but not insane $ as he’s getting older. We do need draft picks for Garrett and Metcalf. What if we extend JA, restructure, everyone meaning Dawkins, Knox, amd others to create space and release Miller. So yes, it’s stupid, but Mack and Garrett and Metcalf with Shakir, and Coleman and one of the two TE’s, and no way the Chiefs beat us again. Let the contract finish upon GROOT and maybe Mack is just a one year rental. Extend him next year. I know I sound like the guy I always criticize on not Madden, but we can do it this year.

I’m with you Sven. I’m not interested in a 32 yr. Old WR, even if he played well in 2024, because he will fall off a cliff at some point. Metcalf is a different story. I’m still most interested in Garrett.

Mario by far. Wrex ruined him by outthinking conventional logic. Why would you ever drop a beast like him into coverage. That’s why Wrex is on ESPN, and not coaching as he’s an idiot.

No bud. I thought you were being a wiseguy when I meant he plays out his contract, then and only then we tag him for one more year. Then we get two more years out of him and maybe he gives up these ridiculous ideas of $15 mil. and then we decide to extend or draft someone in a year. RB’s, and Safeties are meant to be cheap labor.

No miracle meaning he plays out his contract in 2025, and is tagged in 2026. You already knew I meant it, not in 2027. That makes no sense.

During the season, the offensive line, and Cook. The simple solution is give away a 1st and 2nd, and next years 1st for Garrett. Then, the other 2nd goes for the space eating DT we need. GROOT gets single coverage, and and Oliver gets the opportunity to penetrate. The recast for the draft of the 7 picks goes towards a speedy WR, CB, and Safety. A kicker and backup QB with our 6ths as we have two. That’s it. You can’t evaluate how bad any team wants it. This is anger and frustration, and I understand it. I’m frustrated too. I am. We have answers in front of us, but a matter of Beane doing what it takes to win. Extend Josh amd backload it and we have all the space we need. There a couple other restructures out there. The cap went up last year by around $35 mil. And another $25 mil this years. It might be as high as $27 mil.

I’d rather wait a year. We get Garrett and let’s see what GROOT can do opposite a game wrecker like Garrett. Garrett routinely beats and draws double teams. GROOT is assured of single coverage.

I still think we’ll tag Cook next year for 2 years from now. We have him for two years so would rather spend the draft resource in other areas. RB is the least of our concerns. We have a good room now. Ty’s cheap.

I never thought about the Raiders, but sounds like the Steelers aren’t interested at all. The Jets are a perpetual dumpster fire no matter who shows up there. The Raiders have some talent, and not good for us considering Carroll is a good coach. He may be the oldest coach in the league, but that guy is like the energizer bunny. Bad news for us on the Crosby front. The good news as mentioned above is even more competition for KC. LA, and Denver are real competition for them and if Stafford goes to Vegas, that’s a tough in division battle for the next couple of years. No more automatic 6-0 in division. With the weakness of their offense, we may see the end of their reign of terror. They will still be good for 11-12 wins.

I wouldn’t trade him anyone. He has one more year left, and tag him next year. That’s 2 more years we get to enjoy Cook, and wish him the best. He’s only on the field 55-60% of the time, amd not worth anywhere near $15 mil. Now that Shakir is signed, we need to to force rank in this order if possible, Benford, and then Bernard. We get these guys reasonable extensions early before they cost too much, we have multiple young pieces in place. The simple answer is trade this years 1 and one of the 2’s, and next years 1 for Garrett, and use the other 2nd for a DT as the class is deep. Further down the draft as 2 4’s for a speedy WR, CB, S, and a Kicker with the last pick in the draft. Now we’re set at Oline, Dline, depth throughout the rest of the defense and our offense was humming already this year.

Mike, that’s actually a good idea. Dabs would get the most out of Stafford, and he’s not shot like Rodgers.

Pittsburgh or Jests makes the most sense. From Stafford standpoint it’s Pitt. They have an overall good team.

The networks will never give up their strangle hold on the NFL. The NFL will never lose the network $, as no amt of streaming services revenue can overtake fox, cbs, nbc, and abc. The best they can do is be competition to the networks. As long as YouTube has the ticket, and I can use one of my childrens or step childrens student status, I’m happy.

CSB, I’m guessing Garrett is the better target for a couple of reasons. First, Cleveland is rebuilding, and he declared he wants out. Garrett’s camp can turn the heat up at the combine meaning the agent, interviews to the press of Garrett. Push the issue by Garrett. Second, Cleveland saves $20 mil. By releasing him to buy other talent. We have a 1 and two 2nds. We can give a 1st and a 2nd this year, and a 1st next year. He’s worth it for 5 years. 2nd, Las Vegas now has Carroll for a head coach. Carroll has a 30 year history highly focused on a run game and pressuring defense all the way back to his Jets days, and USC before Seattle. He won’t want to part with a talent like Crosby. So onward for Garrett and cut Von for the $8.3 mil. Savings and let the restructures begin. I can see an extension for Josh as he’s not going anywhere and backloading more if the contract to free up more than enough for Garrett. As I’ve written in other threads, with that other 2nd rd pick, you grab the best DT you can get in a deep DT draft. There are a lot of good ones. Later with the 7 other draft spots, you can replenish with a speedy WR, Safety, CB, and the last 6th rd pick (we have 2 in the 6th), you grab the best kicker. Bass improved his position towards the end of the year, but nothing wrong with competition. So these are just a few thoughts as Virgil says in no particular order.

I’m all in on Garrett or Crosby. We can always draft whatever highest pick we have left a DT. That infuses a lot of talent in the line which is the greatest need.

I’m happy for Jax if this works. The new HC did a heck of a job as OC for Tampa. He was part of how Mayfield made the most of his career. This the best Mayfield has ever performed, amd been quite impressed with him in Tampa. Seeing as I watch about every Bucs game, I’m a decent judge of his performance.

As long as vet. Minimum, I’m good with it. He knows the system and at most is the 4th CB, as you know Elam is gone. You couldn’t get a ham sandwich for that guy. Dane outplayed him regularly.

It’s a pretty foregone conclusion we’ll draft one with one of our 10 picks. If we trade two picks for for Garrett or at least Crosby, we still have 8 picks and it’s obvious the 2nd rd extra as we have 2 will go to one of the many DT studs in this deep class. Probably one of the 4th rd picks will go to WR. I agree with the OP we need a guy who creates separation and has good hands.
