Too bad O’Brien isn’t there anymore. He would have jumped at that offer.

For anyone who wants to move on from Tremaine, it simply will not happen.

I wonder if Andrew Norwell is available.

Good stuff. I’d take Engram in a heart beat. Total change of scenery guy. Mercilus is an interesting one. But he has a good chunk of money left on that deal, so he’d be here next year as well. I don’t see that one happening just because the money involved. Same type of issue with Atkins. They’d essentially be our offseason additions as well.

Kwon is a nice get. Not sure why the Niners moved him. Also not sure how the Saints always find a way to squeeze the cap. Also I would like them to send us Trey Hendrickson.

To me the issue with trades is that we don’t have a 4th which was part of the trade for Diggs. Obviously great trade, but there seems to be a lot of guys on the market who could be had for a 4th, but maybe not a fifth. I’m not willing to part with any of our first three picks unless we are talking elite guys. Ideally we try to find a way to pry Trey Hendrickson loose from the Saints. Not sure they part with him, but they won’t be able to re-sign him and he is just starting to make his mark. Most realistic target right now is Kyler Fackrell, one a 1 year deal, provides pass rush and can play off the ball as a linebacker. The Giants make sense as a partner as they have no fifths. Do two fifths and a seventh get me Fackrell and Dalvin Tomlinson? I doubt it, but there is a Carolina connection. What is Tomlinson worth? What would Engram cost? Kyler Rudolph makes sense too, but Vikings have something like two 4th, three 5ths, two sixths...something like that so not sure they would love more 5ths. I see, a 5th for Fackrell, and a 7th for Jacob Hollister.

Agreed. Was just about to post this. Wood beat me to it.

Full transparency, I thought Dalton would take Dak’s job. I also was not sold on Dak. But he proved it this year. Unfortunate he got hurt because he was lighting it up.

I think it is one of those change of scenery type deals. The guy has potential, but will probably never be good in NY.

Foster Moreau is a guy i really like. He’s been pushed down the depth chart and is running #3 right now behind Waller and Witten. It might be worth a look, or at least an inquiry. The Evan Engram idea makes sense depending on the cost. Maybe make a call to the Seahawks. Jacob Hollister is also running #3 on their depth chart behind Olsen and Dissly, plus he’s got that chemistry with Josh Allen and knowledge of the offense from his days with the Pats.

They should find a fullback, sign Johnny Stanton off the Browns practice squad, and use Gilliam as a real TE2. I am also hoping for a Sweeney return at some point.

Yeah I feel like Cam Lewis has held his own. He looks like he belongs.

Has to be Ike Boettger at LG. It’s either him or Ryan Bates. The fact that Ike came in when Ford got hurt last week, makes me think he’s the guy there this week.

What really sucks about that graphic on cap space is the fact that we have quantity without quality...a bunch of meh players making too much. At least Indy, Philly, KC, ATL, Pitt, LA, Cincy, Cleveland, and Dallas have top tier “best in the league” guys on those defensive lines. I’d rather have quality over quantity.

I’m going Carlos Dunlap. He makes sense on a lot of levels, but he is also signed for next year so not a pure rental. I know we said one but my others Tak McKinley, Kevin Zeitler.

I think the fact that they kept him over Teller and Spencer Long is meaningful. Also, when they released Ike briefly a couple of years ago, he was quickly scooped up by KC. I think people around the league like his potential.

Seems like from the other comments that he kind of checked himself out with a foot injury this week. On a positive note, I think they really like Ike Boettger. Maybe he’s ready to assume more responsibility.

I liked Spain, but his career is very dubious. Undrafted out of WVU when he clearly had draft able talent. Then has a really nice run with the Titans who have zero interest in re-signing him. Goes to UFA and its crickets for him and he signs a pretty modest deal with us. Resigns here, with pretty much no competition for his services, and now this. Just a really weird run that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Good luck to him.

Hindsight 20/20, we should have drafted Braden Mann instead if the Bass man. Bojo sucks and maybe Bass would have still been available later or we could have stuck with Hauschka. Mann should have been the pick because he would have been an immense upgrade, whereas the kicking battle was more 50/50.

Knox is sooooo raw. Patience is important here. The drops can be fixed. He also pancaked a guy on McKenzie’s touchdown. I think he has that potential to be a top guy and I think he will be. Remember, and I write this alot, but the guy was a high school QB who walked on at ole miss and became a tight end, and really didn't play a whole lot. He will get there. Tight ends sometimes take a while. Knox is Jeremy Shockey, who had a ton of issues with drops early in his career, but to me, this is the same guy. The upside is there and something we have not had at the position in a very long time. Just to add, I hope we see Tommy Sweeney again soon. He can help this team.

So I think guys on teams going nowhere can be had. Maybe a Tak McKinley or a Kyler Fackrell who are both pending UFAs on losing teams. I might give the Bengals a call on Carl Lawson who is also set to be a free agent. Trades may be hard to come by, but I think those guys can be had. A guy I really like, who is starting to come into his own and finally developed is Trey Hendrickson down in NO. Now will they trade him? I highly doubt it, but he should be a free agent target of ours. Hey maybe the Jets are willing to trade Jordan Jenkins who is “tired of losing.” I know its in division, but they made a trade with the Giants last year and Jenkins is a pending free agent as well. We need some sort of shot in the arm. At the end of the day, none of these guys are elite pass rushers because they are just hard to come by. I’d like to see less Murphy and Hughes and more Daryl Johnson and AJ Epenesa.

How about them Ohio State quarterbacks! 🤢🤮

That thing is freaking sharp as hell. Feels like Wolverine is shaving your stuff....close shave, but one slip up and its like the elevator scene in the Shining.

We need to start talking about Daryll Johnson. What seemed like training camp, small school fodder last season, is turning into a dude. He is the prototype in terms of size and length but he also has a ton of speed. How many base defensive ends run down on the kickoff team? Every time this guy plays he makes an impact and I think he has a real future here. He needs to play more as his pass rush is producing results. I think we have a real gem on our hands.

This 100%. Announcers talk way too much and bombard the game rather than letting it breath. And they use the same outplayed lingo. Just awful.
