    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I could see that for sure. We obviously were/are lacking in blue chip players, but we also need to fill so many spots and need to have a competitive season. Part of that is improving competition and depth, while also having room (and a runway) for young guys to make the roster and develop...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    The following statements are super obvious, but for posterity’s sake, here’s what we know: Biadasz was a decent, maybe even pretty good center. There were going to be a number of quality centers available in FA. The draft has some interesting center prospects. They extended Allegretti (who...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I went into Monday thinking disappointment early on was likely (for the board) given we fans had a short list of each position. Especially with all of the factors in play - staying home (Pierce), crazy contracts (Linderbaum), playing for a contender, organizational stability, scheme fit...

    It narrows the field significantly, but I’m hoping for a high quality corner with experience/success inside and outside. Basically an upgraded version of Johnathon Jones (and for that same reason, Jones might not be a bad fit for depth). 2nd best option (IMO) would be a good slot corner along...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    Generally speaking, I think some of the angst is/was over the top - decent-good players are getting cut all over the league for a variety of reasons, and it’s not really all that different from letting a guy walk in FA (without a replacement in place). I think the more salient point, as you...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

    It is further along, you’re right. Not least because the offense has 3 high end players (Daniels/Tunsil/McLaurin), while the D has zero. But as others have said, Daniels is the crux to the foreseeable future of our franchise. We need him healthy and we need him happy enough to re-sign with...

    The 2026 Draft Thread - 1st Round - 7th overall

    Yep. I suppose it’s possible that a team falls for a certain player, our FA leaves us flexible in terms of targets and AP has a number of prospects he’d be happy with, but I’m skeptical. On a separate note, one guy that hasn’t been talked about much for us that I’m intrigued by is Ioane...

    I’m good with Burks as the 4th outside receiver (regardless of whether he’s considered #4/5/6 on the depth chart). As the backup X or Z though? I wouldn’t be at all happy with that. Now, it’s hard to really judge him based on our qb play and other issues (he went against some quality...

    Could be. I guess the combo of them preaching competition no matter what, and then “forcing” Daniels to compete for the starting gig is where I got that from. Don’t recall hearing one way or the other about Tunsil competing or not for the job. So, to your point, maybe it’s just lip service...

    Why wouldn’t they just use the Franchise tag on Pierce?

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    The way I see it, roughly speaking… Optimistically: Competition is what they preach, so they’re not handing the starting job off no matter how much of an upgrade they acquire. Competition is the minimum they’re looking for, but they’re going to work hard to find an upgrade. Could be a...

    Agreed. True. I’d say though that I don’t want to be in a position where we miss out on Love and wind up rolling with Bill and a couple/few mediocre backs. At a minimum, I think we need to add a pretty good 3rd down back pre-draft. A McNichols type could come post-draft, to your point. He’d...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I could be wrong, but I’d think Thornton (or someone like Dyami) would be in conjunction with signing a #2. Basically adding a #3 that improves our depth and could potentially be bumped to #4 if McCaffrey or Lane develop, or if we draft a guy.

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    I somewhat agree here. My concern is how much he offers as a pass catcher. To your point though, he hasn’t been given many opportunities there. If we miss out on Walker and Hall (very likely), and Love is gone before our pick (looking fairly likely), I wouldn’t be mad about winding up with...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    This bums me out as well. Hopefully they’d at least add a semi-decent option. Yep. Unless maybe he’s slotted as our 4th corner? I don’t mind this one - fairly cheap, still productive, has experience as an OLB - but it can’t be he and Martin rotating as our starting edge opposite Armstrong...

    The 2026 Free Agency Thread

    Makes a ton of sense to pick up 2 WRs and 2 DEs/edges (we’ll almost certainly add more as camp bodies/competition of course). Still leaves room for a draft pick at both spot (and/or competition for JJB and/or Luke/Lane (and maybe Burks?). I’m good with Jacob Martin as our 3rd DE - he played...

    Going in-house for TE is crazy talk IMO. I said before that I can see the change in scheme helping Bates/Sinnott, but none of our guys have shown much of anything in the pass game. With a good amount of FA options, the relatively low cost of TEs, and the position being “a qb’s best friend”...

    I hope you’re wrong if we pick him, and I hope you’re right if someone else does :)

    It’s a bit surprising to open another hole. I’m not sure I agree on our depth though. Wiley’s decent depth at G/T (I know you said “beyond Wiley”, but he obviously counts), and Coleman is probably (at worst) decent depth at LT considering he was a fairly serviceable starter. Alegretti ain’t...
