Azeez Ojulari?

Fortunately for them it doesn't hurt nearly as much when you have your QB on a rookie deal!

Would you say he's better or worse than Jerry Hughes during our playoff runs? I don't watch the Chargers very often, how did he get 17 sacks last year? Genuine question. That's more than anyone we've had in a long time

Agreed! My thought was no one is collapsing their interior, at least not someone we could add, might as well try to take advantage of the relatively weaker edge

Ha yeah the fact that they'd be 4-4 is why I think it would take more than what might be worth in a plain vanilla scenario but could be worth it for us to take us over the top. What you you give?

Man had 17 sacks last year!

what do you think it would take?

He's 33 years old on an expiring contract, with a cap hit in the range of Cooper. If they lose on Sunday @Cleveland, might the new regime be open to make a deal for the future? AJ Epenesa, Javon Solomon, 2025 Diggs Pick (~#60), and a 2026 1st round for 2nd round pick swap? Is that way too much? Way too little? Not even in the zip code of acceptable for either side? https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/14414/khalil-mack

who's also become a YAC beast, so basically a much better extended run game

Kevin? way past his prime, and center of gravity too high among other issues

the Miracle at Rich was blacked out locally! After halftime we all went outside to play football in the street with my dad listening to it on a portable Walkman playing all-time QB and we re-enacted the comeback plays in real time. Seared into my brain more than the actual game probably would have been haha (clearly)

Patrick Mahomes: Myth or Andy Reid?

Yes agreed we have a lot of good but not great D linemen. Oliver & Rousseau can flash & pop at times when they have a favorable matchup but they disappear in the big time far too often. I love DaQuan Jones but he's been injured the last two years in the playoffs and is getting up there in age. He's not a consistent game wrecker but a very nice piece at 1T. At this point the hope is Von comes back with even fresher legs for the home stretch and commands some attention like he did in '22 so the other guys can get favorable matchups. And of course, all have to be healthy for the playoffs or it falls apart like a house of cards. It could definitely play out that way, but I like selling a small piece of the farm for an absolute stud like Garrett better than the hope.

I see 2025 1st & third plus 2026 first & third thrown around all the time on speculation. I feel like three players on low contracts plus a first and two seconds beats that 🤷‍♂️

Chris Jones & Aaron Donald have been just as much or more of the reason their teams have won the last 4 super Bowls as their blue chip QBs. Don't make Josh wait until he's Stafford's age on a new team to give him one of those game wrecking monsters on the DLine. If it's there, you go and get it by almost any means necessary.

Assuming he's healthy, I'd offer them Epenesa, Elam, Solomon, 2025 1st, 2025 2nd (Diggs pick), and a 2026 2nd. Super Bowl.

Bears' new GM Poles is actually highly competent. He's been drafting well, ripped off Carolina something fierce, finds solid free agents, hasn't maxed out the cap, put his #1 overall rookie in a prime position to succeed. Pretty much nailing a rebuild.

Until Von comes back and we trade for Myles Garrett LFGGGGGGGGG

Yikes... not great if so

They've had insanely good injury luck the past few years down the stretch, bound to rear its head at some point right??

Malik Nabers??? He double dipped at CB & LB in 2023 with much success

Does an acquiring team assume the void years as well? Or do those accelerate to the dead cap hit of the original team?

Von was it pre-injury. Defense went from top 5 to bottom 5 in a lot of metrics after he went down. And yes totally agree, Jones is a wrecker, we do not have one currently.

oh damn did not know that

I'd do Rousseau, 2025 1st, the 2025 Diggs 2nd, and 2026 2nd rounder. And yeah sure Kaiir Elam too if they want him 🤣
