    Beane still looking to add big bodied RB to roster

    in The Stadium Wall

    Beane looking to add "heavier, power style running back."

     

    Makes sense with only shifty pass catching backs on the roster.  Doesn't bode well for bringing Singletary back.

     

    D'onta Foreman?  Damien Harris?  Zeke Elliott?  Pool is getting shallow at this point. 

     

    Draft one?

     

    Not going to be D'onta Foreman... going to the Bears, 1 year, $3mm.

    Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract

    LAMAR JACKSONQB, BALTIMORE RAVENS

     

    ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Ravens have been "involved in the free agent quarterback market." 

    "The Ravens, who face uncertainty around Lamar Jackson's future, have been involved in the free agent quarterback market," was Fowler's exact report. "(They have looked) into options such as Baker Mayfield and Jacoby Brissett before they signed with Tampa and Washington, per league sources. Baltimore appears to be looking for flexibility." That's a spicy meatball, though it's still not a sign in and of itself they expect to be without Jackson for 2023. They could just be looking for a more reliable backup after Tyler Huntley took a major step back in 2022. It is still intriguing with Jackson and the Ravens clearly at contract loggerheads.

    At some point Lamar is going to force the Raven's hand.  Wasn't the last offer $44mm a year for three years fully guaranteed?  That's a legit offer from the Ravens.  If Lamar won't agree to a market value contract the Ravens are going to have to start looking at other long term options.

    Aaron Rodgers talking with the Jets

    If Rodgers goal is to get back to the SB, I’m surprised he would leave the NFC for the AFC with so many quality QB’s. His odds are far better in the NFC than a loaded AFC.

     

    Also it’s a huge roll of the dice for the Jets giving up the farm for Rodgers. One would make a reasonable assumption, the Jets would improve with him, which ultimately hurts their future draft position for drafting a franchise QB.

     

    I agree.  The Jets bringing in Rodgers is essentially a rental that is going to cost them gobs of money and draft capital.  It is the ultimate win now move by a GM and coach desperate to save their jobs.

    Rodgers is an attention seeking diva.  I'm not sure what would be worse for the Jets;

     

    Rodgers actually going there with his toxicity (can't wait to see the NY media crawl up his a** after his first bad game)

     

    OR

     

    Rodgers going back to GB and screwing the Jets by effectively keeping them out of free agency waiting for him to make up his mind.

    I love Beane don’t get me wrong, but last year he telegraphed that CB selection pretty bad. It was a glaring hole for sure. 

     

    I think the position cost would have been too high to grab a decent CB in free agency with what he has already committed to Tre' White.  Teams can't afford to have two top tier CB contracts on the books anymore, just like you can't afford to have two top tier WR contracts on the books at the same time. You need to have one of your CBs on a cheap rookie contract.

    Dolphins Pick Up Tua's 5th Year Option

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Unless they were going to go after Lamar they didn't have much choice.  I would hate to be in the Phin's GM's shoes right now.  How do you write a contract for this guy with a $100+mm in guarantees with his injury history?  Picking up the 5th year option is an easy call, the next contract is the issue.

    Per Shefty - Bills “expected to lose” Poyer and Edmunds

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Benford / midrange FA / day 3 draft pick --- camp competition to replace Poyer.

     

    Bernard / Spector / midrange FA  / day 3 draft pick --- camp competition to replace Edmunds.

     

    Take the money saved to put a legit O-Line in front of Josh.  I think Josh is good enough to elevate any WR on the field with him.  Give Josh a clean pocket for 3 seconds and he will shred any secondary no matter the WRs.

     

    Priority #1 for Beane has to be to protect Josh and retool that O-Line.

    How bad were the Bills receivers this year? Hint really really bad

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I agree, if they’re going to win a Super Bowl it will be on Josh Allen’s arm, not McDermott’s defense.

     

    I think McBeane hoped Josh would be enough to get the job done on offense but he can’t do it alone.  They need to change their philosophy and go offense heavy and build an offense around Josh that will score 35 points a week and dare teams to keep up.

     

    Elite offense, elite kicking game, above average special teams, and an average defense needs to be the script going forward.  They’ve got a lot of that in place already.

    Would Bengals trade Tee Higgins? Contract demands reportedly “outrageous”

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Wide receivers are now like CBs in that a team can only afford to have one great one on a second contract on the roster because the position cost it too high.  Teams will pay their #1 WR big bucks and then churn through rookie WR and hope one of them hits on a cheap contract for four or five years to pair with their #1.  No team can afford to pay two #1 WRs market value on a second contract if they have a franchise QB on the books.

    ROCKPILE REVIEW - Bengals and 2022 Wrap-Up

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by Inigo Montoya

    @Shaw66

     

    Great write up.

     

    The biggest thing is to just keep making it into the playoffs and then it's anyone's ballgame.  You can't account for the odd bounces that occur during a playoff run.  It takes a talented team and a lot of luck to win a Super Bowl.

     

    If the Bills can keep making it into the tournament they will eventually have luck break their way and they will win one.  It's Beane and McDermott's job to keep that roster competitive so they keep making it into the final eight.  If they can do that eventually lightning will strike.

    Bengals DC Lou Anarumo interviewing for Cards HC

    Frazier has 3 strikes against him. 

    The first is, he had 3 years as HC of the Vikings, and they were not particularly successful 21-33-1

    Now, he had no freakin' QB (Ponder and Cassel) and he actually managed to get them to a playoff game and a 10-6 record with Ponder.

    But that's lost in the small print.

     

    The second is, the current trend is to hire hot young offensive minds

     

    The third is, his team keeps falling short in the clutch.  Now maybe that's not all on him - injuries, players not executing - but the Buck Stops Here.

     

     

     

     

    I think another big problem is that people wonder how much of the Bills' defense is Frazier's and how much is McDermott's.  It's the same issue with Bieniemy in KC with Andy Reid there.
