Devin actually was one of the top RBs as a rookie in 20+ runs despite not being a full time starter the whole year with Gore here. This notion around here that Devin can’t break big runs is pretty inaccurate.

How on Earth is this thread at 10 pages? Lmao

Lmao...Desmond Howard was Super Bowl MVP as a ST player. Another priceless but useless TSW hot take 🤣😂🤣

This makes sense so they can now trade Josh Allen straight up for Ertz

And let’s not forget both Jonnu and Henry are now tied ($12.5M per year each) as the third highest paid TEs in the league behind only Kittle and Kelce. Yet they combine to average just 900 yards a season with Jonnu averaging 350 yards a season and Henry averaging 550 season. Jonnu has never even reached 500 yards while Henry has never reached 700 yards. So they committed $25m a year to these guys after also paying Agholor (who can’t catch, who would be 4th on depth chart here, averages 568 yards per year, and has never reached 900 yards in a season) at WR the same as Diggs. That’s $38M a year to 3 guys who combine to average 1368 yards a year, which is significantly less than Diggs by himself totaled this season. Lmao at the Pats.

Oh, didn’t see the Brate extension. Well that means that Howard could be available. I wasn’t thinking both would, just that one likely would be out of Brate or Howard. I figured it would be Howard

Obvious one would be Ertz trade. But also think one of Howard or Brate will become available out of TB and Njoku also is probably available. Veterans like Rudolph, Cook, or even Reed wouldn’t be bad adds as well, especially to at least help further develop Knox. Or just look at the draft too See above answer

Bummer, that’s a great deal, wish we nabbed him. But still plenty of other TE options still via FA, trade, or draft

Has the flight path of Pegulas jet ever once predicted a big signing or trade from someone related to where it went? I can’t think of one, but I can think of a hundred threads like this.

When an attorney feels compelled to tell you it’s not about money...it’s because it’s usually definitely about money.

Tyrod > Barkley Just saying.

He isn’t, they can’t afford him and already have a very good TE there.

Haha also true

I don’t think it’s that they are after signing both to the roster, more that they are after a RB and are eyeing one of these two. Haha then again I didn’t think they would spend $25m a year in two TEs who combined average leas than a 1000 yards together. I figured they would keep Burkhead and let White leave.

Well you should listen to Beane more, he’s been spot on every year on his plans.

Yeah, and Beane said he wanted him back, but it was Milano who wanted to test the market. Beane was always interested in resigning him, and I think you are correct that Milano wasn’t seeing that much more in FA, so he chose to stay here and came to terms in the range Beane was comfortable with. I mean it’s no secret the guys here now love this team and staff, so if Milano wasn’t gonna make much more there wasn’t an incentive to leave.

Why are we confusing trades with free agency? Not the same thing at all. In fee agency, Beane did exactly what he said he would do last year

I don’t think there is anything wrong with your opinion, and mostly agree with it too. But there are not a lot of guys who fit that description, and for me, my higher priority is the TE being a weapon given Dabolls system. Im not sure I follow that he’s a tweener though, he’s not small. He doesn’t have say the weight of a good blocking TE, but we wouldn’t be signing him to for that role.

Yeah I’m thinking he’s targeting $8m range with incentives personally, and I’m cool with that. I could stomach $10m, but I doubt he goes over $10m for any TE out there.

Daboll is very creative, I can see him having Beasley out there as well. They don’t always line him in the slot and move him around a lot.

What!? Is this a serious question? Why on earth would be give up a 2nd for Tonyan?

Yet Beane does exactly what he says year after year. So, not believing him would be proven incorrect many times over at this point. So you can choose to not believe him, but it’s just making you incorrect in your expectations.

He’s a beast, athletic beast. A small DB isn’t going to cover Garrett effectively. Trust me, I loved him out of college and Rams are my second team. I’ve watched a lot of him, he’s better than you think.

Good luck covering Everett with a small DB. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not willing to over pay Everett. I’d be cool with $8M, but I don’t really want to hit double digits just because of cap reasons. But, if you want a TE to block, you don’t have to put both Knox and Everett out there. You can sign a TE who is more of a pass blocker for those situations, they are cheap. But releasing both Knox and Everett on the play would be tough to defend.

Bunch of stories on Twitter saying they are showing interest in both Fournette and Carson. That would be a bit of a surprise to me as I thought they really liked Damien Harris and still have Michel and Burkhead.
