he keeps falling off my radar but jack bech seems like such a billsy pick.

Rapp might end him

I didn’t read the whole thread so forgive me if posted 43 times already but… I think some value in the team likely seeing the move as a positive. Ie I think there are guys that see bosas name and know he’s been a real nfl dude, not just meekly adding any schlub

Offense will start week one slightly better year over year defense still needs a CB… reason to believe safety is slightly better with potential upside linebacker is flat but healthy DT flat to slight upgrade DE upgraded but not sure how much or if enough long story short- add a cb, draft BPA and we on paper should be better

Cheap, experience, reason to believe in upside…. he could be nothing but it’s zero risk and high reward like it

Would just be tough to add a 5th guy at this pay range

a 5 and 7 for a 6 and Elam is pretty close to it

and we still may move on if the draft offers something. we set a floor not a ceiling here

realistically there’s enough guaranteed he will be on the roster. And most of the 12 is probably real. he’s a 5 time pro bowler at a premium position. While damaged he’s not a fringe player at this point

2 things I like- I bet he hates mahomes I think he can also be a good developmental influence on Rousseau

I mean, short of a full season out, the risk is like a $5m overpay if he pays 2/3 of the year and is just ok?

On a 1 year? I’d take it over von

I agree that there’s something still but at a bit of a loss for how to slot up that piece reasonably it’s generally an expensive skill set but you can’t add another guy making starter money. So either a bit of a washed vet (mecole, Mike williams… is this the last team for Brandin cooks to sign with?!?). Westbrook ikhine was probably close to that archetype today but treads towards just keeping hollins at that point? or like a 3rd rounder that can be in very precise packages?

I’m good with this

just wait til it’s like jk dobbins for 5M and we are all left totally clueless on what it means ((no im not actually calling that, advocating, or seeing rumors- just joking about the most puzzling move I could peg))

and what did they contribute their first year? im comfortable saying that most guys at elite positions that are in the 3rd wave off the board are usually project to get to their ceilings or have lower ceilings- not as often they come in as a game breaker year 1

we probably aren’t reshaping our pass rush at 30 - while we likely add some pieces on the draft, I’m not holding breathe on a game changer right from day 1

only other thing that pops to mind if digging there is targets per route run? Ie he is open but not getting thrown to because he’s off location? im not advocating that’s the answer for the anomaly in the numbers, but sharing another idea for your rabbit hole

can you imagine a worse room than Arthur smith, Aaron Rodgers and Nate hackett?

would potentially explain his struggle to move up the depth chart without injury assistance. only watched so much chargers football but from afar seemed he was always poised for a jump that never came

honestly, kind of an enigma. not blazing and I don’t think an exceptional route runner but lots of separation. Lots of space and a good qb but minimal production it’s in the past made me think of Gabe Davis as a noteworthy deep threat somehow despite moving like a cruise ship, not being a high point guy and not being particularly qb friendly. just doesn’t really add up?

I don’t think there is a huge splash to come free agency is thin on impact at this point. 30th isn’t usually an immediate impact pass rusher. A trade or cap casualty yet to come?

We can’t hit our potential with hollins leading us in touchdowns. im not sure Palmer is the guy, but hollins can’t be our best perimeter red zone threat

Both WR and DE are shaping up to be a collection of fine enough individual pieces rotating but no cornerstone players I know getting “that guy” at a premium spot is tough but it would’ve been cool.

I mean we have a 15m a 12m and a 9m guy plus a “1st round pick” dedicated sure, we might add something but I doubt it’s substantial i wonder what a Rondale Moore is slotting up for these days he was enjoyable but he couldn’t be a WR2/3 for us and we need that (really need better than that)
