2:55 inactives, I reckon

Is there a world where we want Houston to win? They could realistically win the south, and the colts crap out: Jags Seahawks 49ers Jags Texans

Sauce Achilles?

Colts Texans is the only thing I’m watching

In the 3 playoff games last season, he was 6 of 8 for 80 yards and two scores. Running it back on O like they did and moving on from Samuel would have been a bad call, not only from a roster standpoint point but also financially. It would have cost them an extra 3 million dollars this year to do that. All things considered he’s been a terrible investment, I don’t think anyone will argue otherwise. Regardless they were not in a position to move on from him last offseason, but it’s no doubt they will this up coming year.

Inactive guesses: Dawkins Brown Bernard Kincaid Palmer Phillips Ingram

I have a suspiciously positive vibe about this game. Maybe I have an inflated sense of what this team has been hanging over my head but vs Old man Rogers, Scaredy cat Tomlin and an aging Pitt defense which is more about pedigree and history than modern performance, I feel like we get our swagger back this weekend (even if just for a game)

Yes

Grable moved to 53 from IR Latu and Spector elevated. Looks like another down game for Kinked-caid.

Could you imagine McDermott ripping his shirt off and leading a team chant like that? If we win the superbowl, he will likely celebrate with a flavored yogurt.

Especially considering he generally plays limited snaps…in terms of raw number it’s anywhere from 20-35 snaps a game. Surprised he can’t gut it out more often.

I think health of the room has played into this a ton, and does not absolve Brady of any blame. For example the addition of Brandin Cooks can be viewed as admission they need help or as an answer to Curtis Samuel to IR.

Heading there in February. But left my zip off lands back in 1998

Given they currently have an open roster spot, it seems like they’ll likely activate Grable. We’ll see who they go with at right tackle

Who is your other tackle in this scenario?

I was just commenting on the state of the room, not necessarily a pecking order. It’s just wild.

Shakir Palmer ???? Coleman Gabe Cooks Shavers

This is wild. If somehow Palmer and Kincaid can go it’s not a total wash. Very tough spot to put Rtan VDM and Grable into with Watt and Highsmith returning but this is what our “great OL depth” is supposed to be ready for.

Going to nail the landing

Thumbs up x1000

He is a prime candidate for a post June 1st release and this number balloons to 9 mil in savings this year, by bumping most of the dead hit into 2027.

Depends on what you are referring to. Are you talking about the dead cap hit from prorated bonuses spread into void years? If so here is a quick overview; Void years allow for teams to spread money (on the books) over future years, even the the player gets his money immediately. If a team allows a contract to void, all remained money left to pay that player in future years immediately becomes due. If they are extended or re-sign before the contract voids, then the dead money that was prorated can be remain in place until the contract eventually voids. Here is an example with Joey Bosa: Bosa’s 9 million dollar signing bonus was spread out over 5 years, the maximum allowed by the NFL. So that 9 mill is split up at 1.8 a year from 2025-2030. Bosas cap his this year is actually smaller this year than next, despite not actually being under contract, because the void money of 1.8x4 years becomes due (7.2 million). If they were to reach an extension or re-sign him, the void year’s signing bonus can remain at the 1.8 a year for the life of the contract. So if they give a one year extension, we in theory could save 5.4 money off of the dead cap next season. Connor McGovern is another good example here, with 5 million in dead money next year because of void year signing bonuses for the next 3 seasons. they could save 2ish mill in dead money by extending him to allow void years to remain.

Are we practicing today?

Stat line vs Steelers is either going to be 8-145-2 or 2-34-0

Any guesses on what the corresponding move would be to active Grable to the 53? Maybe waive Jordan Phillips, if no one else being moved to IR?
