Sooner, I agree with most of what you wrote, although still a bit nervous will it all come together. Hopefully everyone read the cap space article from Beane’s interview yesterday as it’s in today’s news on the main page. We basically have $7 mil, which is basically what’s needed for the draft and an emergency fund. We’ll get 10 mil. In June from Tre’s release. I don’t know if we could wait to use that on free agents going on the PS or use now. The point is we have to rely on the draft for filling the gaps. Some people think Beane is not a good drat person, but that is not a definite as some posters cherry pick the draft misses. It’s true he’s missed in some and he’s also hit on some of the later picks.

Gugs, as always right on point. To trade down would be a mistake. Rather trading up and converting 11 picks to 7-8 is more my interests. Absolutely, we need two WR’s. One in a traded up 1st round, and another in the mid rounds. Everyone knows we need D Line, amd Safeties. Lastly a later O Line for depth on the interior.

Exactly, as some people just can’t seem to fathom we have 11 picks, and very little $. It’s not our year for a big trade. After this year, maybe as our cap cleans up well next year. We purged a lot of the cap hit this year.

Agreed. I really don’t care how much he works out as we don’t know everything, and he always seems to look in shape come TC. He doesn’t miss voluntary OTA’s unless he’s excused.

Id like to say we had a quiet, but needed FA. We have 11 draft pics so we’ll be able to fortify and if Beane want to even trade up a little.

Well we do have 11 picks so I can see Beane using a mid to late round for depth candidates.

Agreed. They may be angling for the KC side, not the Missouri. That’s possible, but the Hunt family has been around since the beginning.

Sounds good Einstein. We’ll get in touch in the fall. As I live in Westchase so not far at all from Dunedin.

Sounds good. ill pm you

This was good. Thanks.

First congrats on your upcoming retirement. Second, if the schedule comes out in may, you still have more than enough time for a September or whatever game in the fall. I take my kids to a September game each year as long as it’s at 1pm.

I’m not giving up the hope we draft a WR in the 1st round. We can always go BPA afterwards.

Kwai, we should watch a game together this year. Since we’re both in our 50’s, I’d say a 1 pm game. I try to ring my kids up in September for a 1 pm game, and go with the cousins, and nephews. Outside if that weekend, I’m available. I can meet you half way in Clearwater or St. Pete.

He’s getting old. Maybe it was the line, but he’s not looked good for awhile.

Great extension. He’s worth it.

There is a chance we extend him, and not that expensive. He’ll continue to improve

This isn’t a surprise.

I stand corrected as he’s 28. We still don’t have the $

Both these guys are getting old. Um no. We need guys in their 20’s, not 30’s.

He’ll be extended. They are not trading or releasing one if best LT’s in the NFL.

I’m on the Kinkaid train.

He’s slowed down these last two years. He’s getting older and that is a position where age is not your friend.

Curly Bill, I’ll be your hunkleberry.

The Great Carnac (Johnny Carson reference) couldn’t figure that out.

Von was not restructured. The team doesn’t have to inform a player they are converting salary to signing bonus to smooth out the cap hit. This was a si place agreed upon pay cut, and the team was right. Von isn’t stupid. He knows he didn’t do Jack last year. He also knows if he comes back to form he creates motivation for a pay increase in a year. I doubt that happens, but I’m so proud of Beane making the hard choices on contracts. We will get younger with 11 picks. My guess is we move up a couple times and settle in on 7-8 picks. As long as the 1st round is WR and eventually a D Lineman. I know we need a safety or two, and another mid round WR.
