why are you scared of winning? Now is when we can actually load up without issues.

Just assuming all young guys get better is... very optimistic

roughly speaking, yup.

we have so much money left. Nothing is cap constrained currently.

Having support helps him shine

creating space is easy. Now time to see if he puts together a super bowl roster or not. That’s where the expectation is. I generally like where we are at and am eager to see where the rest of the assets go. SHOULD win the division and host a playoff game. Will see about if we can compete for a bye. shaq got 10/ for 3 years. he’s a fine player but not game breaking. Essentially a 1 year 9m with essentially a cheap team option to follow but also some incentives isn’t terrrrrrrible. Maybe a little heavy in pay but some perks in structure.

We are in a cap spot to take a few risks like that. The beauty of josh being cheap (plus tre, plus Edmonds) is that we can get about 5 guys that are risky with house money. Worst case he’s a fine enough but overpaid DT3. Best case we have a great rotation. and can get out of it easy if it goes badly, this was an offseason where we sign guys not lose guys. Comp picks weren’t a consideration with this cap space

Saquon may be another off the table. we trade 22 for Hopkins. houston either picks any RB they want, or even trade back. Or deals that pick. Cards would add more assets than a bad contract RB to get 22, for instance. you do see outside of veeeery few limitations 22 is incredibly valuable in targeting a RB?

not sure you can call that a fact

With 22 they could’ve gotten literally any they wanted outside of zeke

He’s fine enough. People won’t like spending $6m on him but truth is $6m isn’t a ton.

he opted out of a bigger contract than shaq got didn’t he?

He’s had a lot of solid seasons. Always been a fan. Admittedly was my draft crush the year he came out. Physical freak, and former Hs wrestling champion so hard working, gets leverage etc... just checks so many boxes.

workouts, travel to facilities etc... medical checks after terms reached?

flip side- frank gore was our lead back for stretches and that was a real concern.

All I was doing was pointing out how little impact talking to Croom had on a decision like targeting a top 10 guy in the league at his position. I felt pretty calm in that.

crooms extension means near nothing for his roster status long term it’s like saying we’d pass cause we worked out a UDFA draft prospect

Yea there is ugly design and poor quality design. I just don’t see a rams tie to it. Aesthetically it’s pretty bland but in actual design work it doesn’t show the brand in the slightest

11 qbs threw over 4000 yards, so I hope he gets close and where we are in the build that’s the type of season to expect.

WR is a little discomfort in there but my own worry fixes nothing

I mean he was a day 2 pick. to play 11 years as a starter and notch a pro bowl lends itself to being average to a little above. But as a pick in the 30s that’s a pretty solid career

More than anything probably threw a few bucks to ensure the only way he takes an interview is for full HC positions

Yea but that 4th year cost shoots way up usually. you’ll save a little bit by moving risk from player to team but not anything substantial unless the guy is broke and high risk.

a move like this is perfect for where we are in the build. You are talking like we are a vet team. We are in a window where we can have 3-4 of these guys and then josh/tres contracts slowly replace their hits as they come off the roster

Its 2 year 27m and no guaranteed- pricy but compared to open market... at least you can cut and run if he doesn’t bounce back. That’s the value of the pick vs a big signing bonus
