Love this and am floored by who we've been able to keep this year. Everybody we want to really. A+ offseason so far.

Huge upgrade. Never even considered it but I like it. Slightly disappointed however that this is probably it for all of the Chicago chatter that was going on.

No I have to disagree with this. Gabe Davis is special and learning from some some top tier talent right now. He's not falling past Watkins or Emmanuel Sanders on the depth chart. And there's Sanders too, who by all accounts is far more dependable than Watkins. McKenzie can return. I have no idea where Watkins fits unless he's just like hey guys I loved living in your city, let me just be weird and hold down the 5th/6th spot on the depth chart.

Devin isn't bad. People like shiny new objects and Moss is still more interesting, and admittedly I fall into that camp as well, but there's no guarantee that he's a better back than Singletary right now despite a lot of people assuming so. I hope and think he'll be good but he didn't really do anything last year to separate from Singletary. I'm open to replacing one of them.

Huh. I don't really get where he'd slot in tbh, and he can't return anything or help on ST, so I'm going to assume it has nothing to do with the team. Seriously, would he be 5th on the depth chart? Why would he leave his current situation to essentially be our Byron Pringle? Sammy's weird but probably not weird enough to willingly move down the depth chart. That said I don't get the comments on him being a negative locker room presence. His teammates love him. 2014 was a long time ago, and I don't think he was ever a bad apple anyway, just kind of strange and anxious.

Nice, I've been calling for Lindsay for months. He is so twitchy and quick, a completely different back than Singletary. Plus a humble, hard working 1000% process guy. It's kind of sad really that Denver's cutting ties with him considering his status here, but they're a mess of an organization anyway. He's going to make some fanbase happy.

Yeah, it's rare. Can only remember really old dudes being exchanged within the division, not really anybody like Mosley. I like the idea but can't see it happening.

Her aDvanCed analYtics bro are essentially top-5 rankings based on previous production, and nothing materialized. Lame.

I like it. I'd like it a lot more if he was about 2 years younger but I watched him in Denver for years and he's a total professional and competitor. Process guy for sure. Agree that Smoke must have been more broken and/or expensive than desired which is a shame, but Sanders is a fine replacement. Also a huge plus to get that experience in the room. Imagine getting knowledge from the Diggs/Sanders/Beasley brain trust - Gabe Davis is going to be special. Makes me hope we get another WR or two in the draft actually, even a project.

Haha I loved Larry Johnson almost as much as Priest Holmes! Felt like a good spot for an LJ reference, even though he's apparently turned into an absolute insane person per his twitter account.

I never would have guessed we keep Milano, Williams, and Feliciano. FA period is done for all I care, go get a back and some LBs in the draft.

Only 25 and yet firmly on track to have a more disappointing career than Larry Johnson.

He was seasons ago. Is he still? People are in here acting like Kareem Hunt could change the franchise. Do people really think he's a top 10 back or something? Did the time change send me back to 2017?

As others have said I just think it's too much for potentially above average talent. I don't like him. He's no Nick Chubb, that's for sure.

Ah, ok totally cool then. Then put me in the camp of Kareem Hunt being a shell of his former self. Why would a competitive AFC team want to unload him if he's that good?

It really isn't though. I just watched the video before posting to make sure I wasn't speaking out of turn. He kicks in the direction of her "head and upper body" if you must.

Yeah, sometimes things get out of hand when you're young, and next thing you know you're kicking a woman in the face in a hotel lobby. Happens to all of us... No thanks. Agree that you can find the same with far less baggage. Would rather have Kenyan Drake.

I don't agree that we're trying to perfectly emulate Carolina, and if we are, then we already have the advantage at QB and WR so that should be taken into account if you're making this comparison. Also advantage at CB1. I completely agree that we don't have a Peppers right now, but we also have a ton of young talent on this team hat can still develop, and a great front office that isn't going to just shut down now that we've sniffed the Super Bowl. I trust Beane to make at least a couple of moves, as he's regularly done for years now. So yes, I agree that we need more talent because it would be foolish to say otherwise, but again this isn't a team of Chris Kelsays playing really hard. We've got at least three All-NFL blue chips for starters, including one at the position that counts the most, and have seriously upgraded talent year over year for three years now.

Over performing? Never really thought of it that way. If anything I thought Edmunds, Epenesa, Hyde, Zack Moss, Dawson Knox, etc. were underperforming. This team should upgrade anywhere it can (especially at RB) because that's what good teams do but this isn't a team of average players playing above their heads right now. There's a lot of talent.

Nobody's actually "exploring" this. Real top 5 looking forward are Mahomes, Rodgers, Allen, Murray, Wilson/Watson, with significant emphasis on ranking Allen above Watson. Justin Herbert lurking in honorable mention. Brady's an enigma, I'm not including him in these things. He could throw ducks for 2,000 yards next year and still win a Super Bowl apparently, I don't know how you rank that.

I actually made the edit but your reply beat me to it. You're right, TJ Watt is the exception. Beyond that it's a wasteland of DBs. Drafting a bad corner isn't going to get you TJ Watt, I'm sure we can all agree there.

Somebody posted the previous 20 or 30 years of #30 picks and it's a wasteland. They do not pan out well, and most notably it was a recent logjam of 5 or 6 DB's that have gone on to do nothing. One was Deandre Baker, for example. Just pulled it up, and there was one recent hit - TJ Watt. The rest have been DBs that have done nothing - Baker, Mike Hughes, Noah Igbinoghene, Damarious Randall. The 30th pick is the pick for wasted DB picks it seems. It's a trap, don't go DB, says NFL draft history. Swing for the best offensive talent available, ideally RB or TE.

Gonna add to this 25 pages of the same thing to add the same thing - let him go then. I love Milano but as is typical we overrate him a bit as a fanbase. He's a nice player, not a blue chip you build your defense around. I wouldn't cut multiple players for him as suggested, as if our future rests on the shoulders of Matt Milano.

The quadruple paragraph indents made me raise an eyebrow to start with, but then I kept reading. I realized that this is essentially a bad political hit piece before I got to the melodramatic "which is despicable" line. This guy reads like a less intelligent Bill Mitchell, somehow.

Man, I'm torn. I love the fact that he's legitimate offseason friends with Josh and knows his role. I think there's an aspect to keeping Barkley that provides continuity and support for our star QB which I love. But I don't really want him to see the field. Nobody is looking to sign Matt Barkley so I'm okay with a team friendly deal, we're just going to need another QB with actual physical talent on the depth chart if Josh ever goes down for more than a game or two.
