Raiders Jets Steelers I'm also willing to take any other team as a second if 32 GMs can't be found

Heated conversation can happen when 2 people agree. There's no saying what was said. They could have all been calling Green Bay an ####### together.

Just going off the words I see here my impression is: Next off-season Beane will be saying James Cook has Earned the right to test the market. I believe that Douglas has a floating offer from the Bills on his agents desk with a "expiration date". The week before the draft a vet CB will be brought in. WR is something we are looking at but not near the top of the draft. He's looking for competition and relying on Keon to take a step forward. If we do select one get ready to hear the phrase "We feel he can help out in Teams (special teams) this year." We have 1 definitely locked in starter at safety in Rapp. And wouldn't shock me if they still view Hamlin as the second safety. I think a lot of hope needs to come from hoping a fully healthy TC leads to Bishop taking major steps and possibly move Rapp to Hamlin's spot. 1T is a huge need. I think we are moving up for one this year. And it wouldn't surprise me if it's much higher than most people may think. Whatever happens, this board will be on red alert meltdown mode for weeks.

Honesty I kinda doubt it. I don't believe Beane has used the tag in his GM career. Also, if I saw it right the franchise tag # for RB this year was $13.6M. If Beane doesn't want to pay $15M AAV I sincerely doubt he would be into paying $13.6M for a one year deal at the position.

Really good deal at the initial number, will likely be even better once "actual" numbers come out. Even better, being they have access to his medicals, good chance he's looking healthy if they were willing to do this deal now.

When Stef was traded here, Josh contacted him rather quickly. It's been a few days and Stef has been in the building multiple times and Maye still hasn't reached out or met him. That's NOTHING like Josh.

I agree about 30. Better players to be had. At 62? Maybe. You can't teach speed and we could use a guy with elite speed. Even as a one trick pony I may be willing to roll the dice there and add an element that we have been missing. Between that and maybe he can be taught the KR game a bit he could have value.

That's a win. Let him jump up the board and shove a DT or EDGE one spot closer to us ...

It would. Maybe he's in the "Keon Coleman" package of this year's draft for the Bills where a slight trade back and they would pull the trigger top of second round? Or package the 2 2nds and jump up if he's there? I still think high second would be a bit rich for him, but if they are desperate enough....

Dude that movie is a forgotten classic.

Very interesting....

But can he play?

I liked what I saw out of him in the preseason at CB enough to think he may be a player that has some area to grow and be a good CB in this defense. Douglas was great the season we traded for him. He was absolutely dreadful at times last year.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!😂😂😂

Honesty I would rather pick up an UDFA with some kind of physical traits than being Douglas back. He was a liability and then some. I would play Hardy over him. Cooper, I like him a lot as a player in the past. But I'm ready for getting younger and faster. I see us drafting a WR and giving Shavers a legit chance to make the 53.

Agree. I see Palmer taking over more of the role they hoped Cooper would fill. As the roster sits today, Shavers would be more in line to take over the Hollins role especially on STs. I expect more to be added, of course. I do think Bosa will be an impact player. He has a ONE year deal. It's a prove it year for him and he's acknowledged as much. He's going to be motivated to not only produce, but stay on the field through some of the nagging things he say out through in LA. Also, imagine going from playing in front of perhaps the most laid back fanbase in the NFL to our rabid pack of table smashing drunken idiot fanbase. Guy is gonna feed off our fans.

I think in about 11 months Beane will be saying Cook has "Earned the right to test the market".

I think Dart is gone by their 2nd round pick. He's my bet for 3rd QB off the board. They would have to move up for him. Edit: I thought you meant Giants. If you meant Pittsburgh as per the quote you were referring to...I agree. That's a prime spot for Dart.

They may pass on QB round 1. Take someone who can basically red shirt this year and develop. Milroe would be my guess. No guarantee Arch even comes out next year.

Stef is all about winning a Super Bowl. Such a competitive guy. Hates losing....

It's not spectacular, but the Steelers did bring back Mason Rudolph. Rudolph closed the season as their starter 2 seasons ago and played pretty good ball for them. Made some more spot starts last year with the Titans. And is very well liked in the locker room. It isn't perfect, but that's the starter if Rodgers pulls a fast one and retired or signed with someone else. My opinion is they may actually be better off with Rudolph.

If they draft him Wilson Winston and Sanders would be the most hysterically dysfunctional QB room in NFL history

Yup. And with some deals they are done and not yet submitted to the league office yet either. For example, they may have already agreed to a pay cut with Samuel and are waiting to make it official. Beane tends to like to move up to the cap and then announce these things with other moves he makes so it doesn't look like he's flush with cash.

This is a good time to remind people that though SPOTRAC does an excellent job at keeping up to date, they are just saying what the contracts currently reflect. This number and the number the players union (which is normally closer to official number) are often off a bit Furthermore, Beane has a completely different number on his desk that reflects what he actually has to work with. He's talked about it before. I believe it's basically a chart with what moves still can be made of a move presents itself that makes sense. They can still make some moves.

For comparison, in 2016 Rich Eisen posted a 5.94 (his personal best) 40 time in his yearly "Run, Rich, Run". He was 47 years old at the time.
