Sojourner

Playoffs only. Roster spot, playing time and salary can go elsewhere for a guy that shows up once in a while. Give a rookie or another player via FA the gig and see what we get. If not? Pivot back to him down the stretch. I’m sure he’d understand and wouldn’t have a problem resting all year and putting in the work for the post-season games instead lol

That’s funny! He’s a defensive guy and I’m sure he’s partly the reason we are running the same play again and again but dude, Brady was a HC candidate a week ago. Is he incapable of telling Sean, “this play is struggling, we need to do something else?” they didn’t. Which tells me the conversation never took place. You get the sideline audio and I bet more often than not it’s McD telling him to go for it. Not what actually to call specifically each time. Failure goes to both of them but more on the guys who’s offense it is. Tweedledum and Tweedledee I guess?

@GunnerBill If we can get Bond at 62?!? Sign me up!!!! to me, I he’s going to shoot up the draft boards after the combine and his pro day unless the injuries well and truly hold him back, which they should. His speed and route running is going to be too palpable for a team in need of that style of WR. Im hoping one of those guys in the 20s drops down to us. Egbuka, Barron, Revel and Stewart all look to be quality players at positions we need. Realistically? They won’t. I can see all of them bouncing around boards to the teens and mid 20s. Not to 30 sadly. If Sawyer is available at 53, make the move up if you can. It shouldn’t cost you much to move up only 4 spots. We can have two Pickering, Ohio boys together in Carter and him lol

Not enough to warrant that 3rd rounder. Love the character, loved the few catches he made, certainly don’t love when you total that to the value of a 3rd round pick. I expected better. Sure he was free but with that trade in the coming season, he wasn’t really. He may have a completely different season if he was here from the jump but he’s going to get what? $5-8m from somebody?! Hopefully not us.

For the game as a whole we had the best plays on each side of the ball. Phillips walk back sack. Cook and his diving reach. Heartbreak all around.

So Josh’s better half made it to the Super Bowl. Can we make a trade?!

Two and sometimes three of our SP’s being in the general area of the field on routes is something I’ve noticed a lot this year. Is it just me? Im not talking something like levels, flood or bunch concepts either. I’m talking at the end or later development of their routes, they’re in very close proximity to one another. Interestingly weird design as you’re drawing more coverage to one area allowing a better chance at a pass defense or interception. Regarding Spencer Brown, and I’m not a huge fan of grades, he was one of the better graded offensive players on a whole for that game. Rewatching it, I don’t agree with that. Spencer and our line got the better taken of them. Most of the time Karlaftis (had a heck of a game) wasn’t well blocked by our RT. That last play too was Torrence, 2 guys infront of his face and they’re both getting to Josh. Even one of them getting picked up might be the difference. Our best asset all year on offense were borderline a dud this game unfortunately.

Big Groot fan but he lacks the product to be earning $20m+ a year sadly. If you can have him for $12-15m this off-season on an extension, sure but anything nearing that 20m or above mark and you allocate the same money on a proven guy looking for his next contract. Be that another DE, WR or CB. It has to be one of those positions. Whichever one you spend the money on you pivot the draft for the other two.

for AZ Cardinal QBs from that period I’ll take the rubber mat and Kevin Kolb for $500 Alex…

John, you’re entitled to your opinion and it’s accurate to you. That’s all that matters. It’s not right or wrong. Im just making a joke in reference to other threads that have been starter. Go Jack!!! Another joke… referring to his political career and the resignation after the Watergate scandal.

This is truly a watergate thread!

So we have to wait just over 61 years for the Kincaid drop to be declassified? I’ll be long dead by then. FML

Probably that 2nd rounder from Minnesota would do it. Giants need all the help they can. Immediately. Sign Ojulari whilst you’re at it seeing as he’s hitting the FA market. might be out priced though.

How many points could Jack put on our defense?

With what we run offensively, it’s not surprising. We’re not a big mauling type of offense you need to be big for. And it shows. Their safeties man handled some of our guys at the LOS.

Yeah, my “you want to” was the proverbial you. I like Groot, think he’s decent but at that position and that price you need someone who is elite or right on the cusp of it. Especially for McD’s defensive schemes. Your projection is probably right and something I agree on. Can’t see them not spending it on him. The only question is, does it become like Termaine where they don’t extend him prior to the end of the option and other teams can make him an offer? Hopefully because that should price him out of Buffalo.

The money better be going to a proven guy who isn’t on this roster at one of the following positions. DE CB WR They’ve all shown me enough who are warranting sizable contracts that they’re not worth it sadly. (Groot/Douglas/Amari)

That spot wasn’t his fault but he was the recipient of it being marked short. He was the pusher on the following play on 4th & 1… He also dropped that pass from the heavens by Josh… Disgusting indeed brother.

And there in itself lays another problem on relying on that Josh Rush on short yardage… If we weren’t so successful in converting short yardage throughout the year, he challenges it there I would think. never thought about that 2&2. 😔

What you’ll pay for Groot in an extension would be a mistake. Dude isn’t living up to the bill on a team friendly price. $20m+ is unjustifiable for a quality run setting edge. Even then, he wasn’t that great at containing and holding the edge in the biggest game of his life. You want to pay him more? Shakir. Definitely. Dude has a knack for catching and getting yards. Reminds me of a Maurice Jones-Drew but WR form. Small, compact and is trying to go through defenders. Love to see it. Cook absolutely got himself an extension over the last season if not the playoffs alone. One of few guys who showed up to the highest requirement for playoff football. Benford? He’s decent. I don’t agree with a lot of our fans who pencil him in as this stud CB. But would definitly extend him as it stands for the right price. Bernard? Another quality season back to back but missed some games. What are you paying him on an extension is the question. You can’t pay him and Milano $10m+ a year. So it’s either a drastic reduction for Milano and pay Bernard or you let one of them go.

I’ve always liked the majority of what Dan has to say and there’s a lot of validity even if I might not wholly agree. We need better backend players on that secondary, for sure but a game wrecking pass rusher changes everything. not to turn it into another type of post but trade for a guy. Even throw in Groot if you have to as no one is available in 2025. The next best is 2026 and that really only Hendrickson for the Bengals as it stands right now. Can’t see him not getting big money let alone traded to a conference rival. 2027 is the year there’s a few but they’re all hovering around 30 years or older.

“Von Gone!” Not a shock headline we’ll see printed by Buffalo News lol

Agree. Ferguson is a must sign imo. Special teams rarely see the field, if a player has been on that unit for years with little to no error you don’t get rid of him. Guy has been a great long snapper for us going on 9 seasons now.

The girl in the vid says it’s not fun anymore as she’s wearing the 2024 AFC Champs hoodie… Miserable and expensive.

IMO, Absolute musts: Reid Ferguson Mack Hollins Wouldn’t be opposed: Ty Johnson Reggie Gilliam The rest? They can be replaced. Amari and Douglas had their moments but for their price tags I feel you can do better for absolute key needs.
