I just don’t want us to have to feed Barkley 30 carries a game.

Yeah i think at a low cost you must consider a CMC or a Barkley. Personally I prefer CMC to his prowess in the passing game etc so I feel like he is a better fit. But Barkley is the better player. This is Allen’s offense, so the running game needs to compliment and not overtake.

Yeah that Cheifs game really bothered me. For the most part I have been a Tremaine supporter, that game definitely started to move the needle the other way. But at the same time its Mahomes. Brady also attacked him. Outside of those guys, the goat and the current goat, guys really haven’t been able to attack the middle of the field against Edmunds. Wilson was so good in that game, it was almost unbelievable. I still think the Chiefs blew their, you know, the week before against the Bills and had nothing left. That said, Wilson was awesome in that game. Warner should have been a Bill. They loved him pre draft and I was convinced they would draft him in 2018.

I run hot and cold for Tremaine. I love the athleticism, youth, length etc. I hate his run fits. But to your point, teams have to do some really clever stuff over the middle of the field to attack him. And while it seems like he is getting toasted on some of those plays, there are other linebackers who would be nowhere near the play. Like at all. So in our minds its like “look Tremaine, you are right there, 1 step behind, what the hell are you doing?” At the same time, some other linebackers in the league aren’t even in the frame so it does not seem like it is “their fault.” He is always around the play, and around plays that other guys wouldn’t be near, and that is why he always look like he is half a step late on things. Thats my opinion. I don’t know how the front office really feels about him but I trust them. They won’t re-sign him if they really feel there are flaws in his game. Now I absolutely love Brandon Smith from Penn State. Very similar measurables to Maine. He is shorter, so a bit thicker, but actually has a longer wingspan and is a freak as well, with better instincts playing downhill. If we are looking for a replacement, he should be the guy. Nothing wring with taking another swing at this type of player.

Chubb for Edmunds made a ton of sense in my mind, trading 5th year options for eachother. Be dope if we could get Cox and Chubb.🙃

I mean we have done it every year for like the last few decades. Why change now?

Its always tough when you have to choose between an end and a Cox. I’d take either.

Scooby Wright was a classic

It reminds me more of Brandon Reilly, Andy Isabella, and Braxton Berrios threads. 🤷‍♂️

I guess my place is that he isn’t asked to do what some of those others guys do. He is still pretty productive as compared to other slot guys no? He makes a lot less money than a lot of those guys on that list, and some of those guys are stars. I get you though. You can probably plug anybody in that spot and they would give the same ot more production with Josh in there. He has like zero YAC, but that has never been his game. I don’t care if we keep him or not, I don’t mind the number or production, but I do mind if he is being a giant douche behind the scenes.

Right. I agree. I really don’t think he will kick the can much, I am just saying he can if he wants to to.

He’s a DT no?

You have to go all in in my opinion. Time to strike is now. If we only get 1 Super Bowl, I don’t care. Let’s get one.

I agree that you don’t have to cut him. I doubt he finds a trade, but his cap hit is fine for what he offers. I doubt he agrees to anything, but the Bills don’t have to move him.

2 days ago the Saints were 35 million over the cap and now they are 5. And they didn’t cut anybody and re-sign Carl Granderson. I’m not saying Beane will go crazy with restructures etc, but they can do anything if they want.

My list: Eddie Yarborough Bryan Cox Jr Lerentee McCray Efe Obada and message board legend Takkarist McKinley

On the CMC thing, if Cooper costs what he did, and Mack costs what he did, what does CMC cost? I feel like expensive vets, aside from QBs, may not cost much in terms of trades. Whether you like CMC or not, if he can be had at a discount, why not?

So now Jarvis Landry is avalable? WR musical chairs right before a loaded WR class.

I guess I should re-word it worst case scenario. I will say Haack didn't seem terrible in the playoffs, but an upgrade is needed there. Fell under the radar. It was one of Joe Schoen's first moves when he also grabbed Antonio Williams.

He signed with the Giants

I don't think this is relevant. It is such a small guarantee, they will cut him eventually imo. He is the fall back plan in case they can't get their guy imo.

I think they want to draft a punter. You can’t go into the draft with with nobody on the roster and people knowing you need a guy, so keeping Haack on the roster feels like a safety net and a bit of a smokescreen. Its a pay cut, essentially.

One other thing is that the Broncos new DC guy is a 3-4 guy who worked under Wade Phillips, Raheem Morris, and Vic Fangio

Yeah I agree with this. Here is what he said in the article: "To be completely honest, it's not about money at all," Jones said. "Where I am in my career, I've gotten contracts, I've gotten the Super Bowl, but I think scheme is huge. Or for me, winning more championships. I'll say it again, it's not about money. I will say I want to go to a place that maximizes my talents. There have been times in my career where I'd say I caught myself out of position. I do take the blame, but at the same time it's like, 'Hey, should I have been doing that?' I have enough comfort where I am in my career and this age to say that. Where does Chandler Jones become Chandler Jones? Where can he maximize his talent? I think there were a few times you saw it this season, where you were like, who is this guy? Week 1, five sacks ... so you see flashes of it, and I'm pretty sure there were times where people said, 'Why did it disappear, where is it going?' Not to put it on just the game plan -- I'm sure there were a lot of different things that goes into it. But again, going into free agency, what team maximizes Chandler Jones' talents?" To me that means he wants to play in a 4-3 and he just wants to pin his ears back and rush the passer. That implies that the team unleashed him week 1 and then asked him to do things like play coverage in subsequent weeks. I have always thought he was more of a 4-3 end but spent a lot of time in NE and Arizona in a 3-4. If you watch the highlights from that week 1 game, he has his hand in the ground rushing the passer. He is talking about being out of position and wondering why the team is asking him to do those things. He wants to rush the passer. We are a perfect fit. That’s my 2 cents.

Yep. Cap can be worked. I wish that became a common sentiment.
