he will likely be a mercenary through his final years. Trade a 2 and get back a comp 3 at the end, for 2 years $30M? great spot for a contender that needs secondary help. If not for our history, we would be a primo candidate needing secondary help and not wanting to give a cornerstone contract for a guy.

He’s a very good corner and I’d bet good money neither side expected him to happily play this final year without an extension or trade. this would be a good spot to acquire a pick and send him to a contender. Makes sense for both sides. He can get big bucks - but won’t get a big 6 year contract

Quite obviously true.

yea- I guess 65 catches per season is in the ballpark of where I’d draw a line between role player and full time contributor but I’d definitely wonder what the stat looks like with even slight tweaks

yup. until we know more, jumping to any conclusion is just confirmation of each of our own biases. he could have been a central figure or a totally innocent bystander visiting family

naps top 6, landers bottom 4

I’m guessing police branding isn’t really a super desirable thing at the moment not meant as a political debate on whether it should be or not

meh. The deal has measures for this and I doubt anyone in the room negotiating genuinely thought he’d play on a 1 year 7m deal

flip side: I don’t think joshs contracr has too many curveballs in it. Just a whole lot of money but will likely be able to layer it in without crazy hardball negotiations on the real fine points of structure.

yup. Add in having good wheels and the defense has to account for protecting a lot of turf every snap. Mahomes is probably the only guy in the league that similarly stresses the defense in that way. If he can consistently make good choices he has a chance to be a great one.

maybe not every player needs a narrative created out of thin air? I get it. We all do a lot of it but if you can look at the same story and write it several drastically different ways, maybe it’s best to leave it at “good for that guy for succeeding”

Solid short man reaction to the national press writing about us potentially having the best young qb in the game

you can’t give Henry 700 touches a year. this takes pressure off him and is a good thing for Tennessee.

Saying he’s talented, charismatic, even the best qb in the draft all would not change by saying he probably was a late day 2 grade

Unless they trade Aaron for him

nope. If you don’t use it you can just carry the unspent cap over. How they use the funds May limit flexibility but the signature itself 100% only creates more flexibility. put another way, if I tell you that you can have 20 up front to spend how you wish or 4 dollars a week for 5 weeks, you blowing the $20 on worthless objects wouldn’t mean you had less flexibility by choosing it. beane just dropped the 20 in his checking account and has the freedom to pursue a $20 opportunity now or save it for later.

yup- only gets you in trouble when you do it with a guy that doesn’t work out to sign another flop. but signing two bad players is a problem regardless. restructures make the player happy and add flexibility for the GM. It’s win win, generally speaking

Yea, I think everyone in the room took it as an average athlete among athletic people and not an all world guy. that someone with the right frame and moderate gifts could dedicate themselves to it and possibly succeed. Not that if you grabbed 3 random dudes out of line at the game one could step with some good coaching during warm ups in and 1 would be a coin flip

holy overreaction, Batman

I don’t think anyone is expecting them to add several big names from here. Honestly it’s a 1 to maaaaaaybe 2 guys that could make a difference being added part of the offseason.

As if we haven’t don’t the same (both fans and media) for every talented player out the door? frankly, there’s a good chance diggs will act up at some point. Won’t be the end of the world.

once he hits puberty he should be excellent.

as a 3rd round pick has he already reached expectation and any further is gravy?

though it was pretty excellent for quite a few people.

just neglected to mention the high draft pick and that there’s no reason to think trubisky would be an upgrade for them in any way. agreed that he was more beat up than ever acknowledged
