Welp - everyone complaining about Landon Jackson not being active, he will be now.

Why are we burning our 2nd Timeout on a 2nd Down Defensive re-alignment?

I have had it with this soft zone, give up your man for the guy behind you crap. Too often they either completely blow the assignment or just find the perfect moment of a guy going open. Absolutely ridiculous to constantly lose the opponents' top options.

The amount of times that opposing teams TOP WR's are just running free from blown assignments is absolutely maddening. Just play man.

It's a good thing we went as crazy as we did at DT. Lost Oliver, Sanders, Carter, down Jones - but we still have Walker and Ogunjobi. Can't take anymore injuries at DT. But pretty thankful he went wild there.

Joey muthaf-kin' BOSA! What an acquisition! Worth every penny and we got him for a steal.

Good. Maybe now fans who don't pay attention to anything but who has the ball in their hands will stop saying "we should cut Gilliam" every off-season to make room for their favorite Pre-Season darling.

Kincaid from presumed bust to only pass catcher who can get open with any consistency.

A Mitch Trubisky commercial? That's awesome haha

Get on the phone with Arizona for Budda Baker. Safeties are atrocious.

The Soft Zone has no answers for crossers. They give cushions and it throws the assignments for a loop. That Rice play was a good example of that.

Shakir screens are a result of a lack of separation from our WR's - including Shakir. It's annoying, but you have to find ways to get balls in his hands.

The only way I can see it being remotely possibly is if we're literally the *only* team in the entire NFL offering a 1st for him. Any other team that offers a 1st will both be in another division or conference and also perceived to have a higher pick. It stinks that the Dolphins and Jets are both sellers with pieces we need, but are inside the Division and unlikely to assist a rival. Especially one that's Draft slot is looked at as one of the worst in the league.

Cue Miami trading him to someone out of the division and Beane getting torched for not matching or beating the offer - while Miami was never going to trade him to us. In Division trades only happen for smaller players (like Codrington), when there's no other options, and/or the pick from a Division rival is perceived to be a top pick. None of that applies to this situation.

I'd bet when it's all said and done, it will be something like a 3rd for Shaheed and a 6th. Bc of supply (not much) and demand (very high) for WR's - they can afford to ask for a Day 2 pick for a half year rental on Shaheed this year. I think when push comes to shove, them coming down would equate to the price staying the same, but they'd give a late Round pick in return.

I think comparing Meyers v. Shavers to Charbonnet v. Davis is wildly inaccurate. Shavers is not an NFL WR. Period. He's a guy who looks pretty good against Practice Squad CB's and players who will end up on the street during the Pre-Season, yet completely useless as a pass catcher against actual competent NFL CB's. Meyers is a low to mid grade #1, high end #2 WR. With the stats and volume to show for it over the past 5 seasons. That's a *much* larger discrepancy than Charbonnet v. Davis.

Would reading a 1% chance make you feel better? 0% may seem hyperbolic, but it's much closer to reality than what people dreaming wish it was. Even the initial report that got everyone clamoring simply said that teams have called the Jaguars, not that they were shopping him. And that it was "highly unlikely" they'd actually move him. After that report, the Jaguars GM flatly stated "BTJ will not be traded". Then Travis Hunter unfortunately got IR'ed yesterday. This new report from Diana Russini says really nothing new. Just that a lot of teams have called and that the thought from those teams is that it would require a 1st plus more for them to consider it. Even then, I'd doubt those "thoughts" were acquired to report on in the under 24 hours since Hunter was injured. Which surely changes things even more.

I'm failing to see why you think it would have to be Shakir or Palmer that would have to be released. That's not even *remotely* the case. It would be one of Shavers or Moore. We have options to move money around with and why would we move on from one of our Top WR's instead of one of the bottom 3 guys? Meyers isn't mediocre compared to a Tyrell Shavers (who is one of 3 WR's to be active every game this season and has gone without a single catch in 5 of them), Elijah Moore (who's stat line for the year is 5 catches for 78 yards), and Curtis Samuel (who's been active for just 3 games and has a stat line of 3 catches for 35 yards and 1 TD). Meyers is coming off a 1000+ yard season and his lowest yardage output since 2021 is 804 yards. Meanwhile, the grand some total *combined* for HALF of our WR core over 7 games this season is 10 catches for 164 yards and 1 TD. And that's not even taking into account what we're getting out of Keon Coleman or Joshua Palmer's injury. How you can say that Meyers wouldn't be an upgrade over what we're getting there is mind bogglingly insane to me. I can understand wanting more than Meyers. But if the option is giving up a 4th Round Pick for him or staying the course, with what we have - it's again, absolutely insane to me to not make a move. You're greatly undervaluing Meyers and greatly overvaluing guys like Shavers and Moore.

The thing the Raiders have to weigh is how likely they are to get that Comp Pick. They'd have to make a point to add less than they lose for them to actually get it. And with them having 114m in Cap Space and the roster being in the shape it is - that Comp Pick is far from a given. I feel like people being down on the idea of Meyers is rooted in wanting more than that. But every report reads the same way these days. Jakobi Meyers and Rashid Shaheed seem to be the only WR's that are known to be truly available. If the option is something like Meyers or nothing (and it's very likely that's the case) - would you prefer not adding anything at all and rolling with the same guys?

This will be the second of three potential Phidarian Mathis call up's before the Playoffs. He was called up for the Patriots game before this. Not to say he hasn't shown anything in practice. I wouldn't know. But this is less about him earning it and more about him being the only real option. Jones isn't going to play. All we have on the active roster at DT is Deone Walker, Larry Ogunjobi, and Jordan Phillips. So we needed a body. We've exhausted all 3 of Zion Logue's call up's before the Playoffs, so he wasn't an option. It was either Mathis or a 7th Round Rookie we just signed on Tuesday and has only practiced 3 times with the team in Tommy Akingbesote.

I love all the In Division trade ideas. Why would Miami trade him to us? In Division trades pretty much only occur for small time players, if they have limited options, and/or the rival they're trading with has the highest perceived pick. None of these things apply to us and big time players on the Dolphins or Jets like Garrett Wilson, Jaylen Waddle, or in this case Minkah Fitzpatrick. They'd have no shortage of options if they were available, that would both be outside the division they play in and perceived to have a better pick that they'd acquire. If we were to trade for a big time Safety, it wouldn't be Minkah Fitzpatrick. It would be Budda Baker.

Really nothing new here. Olave and BTJ are unlikely to be traded. The team and Olave are working on an extension. BTJ even more so after Travis Hunter being IR'ed. I have to imagine the "feeling" that it would take a 1st plus to pry him loose has probably changed since yesterday's news on Hunter. If the Jags were in worse shape, I could see them maybe packing things up and selling. But not at 4-3. I guess it's good to have a reputable source saying what others have said, that we've been doing our diligence on someone like Olave. But I don't think this article changes anything. But it will surely reignite all the fans who ignore everything else but the name mentioned in the same breath in an article about trades. Still looking to me that our best shot that could actually be had is Rashid Shaheed. Though it seems my previous concern of supply and demand driving up his price was legitimate. A Day 2 pick for a half year rental is a steep price for him. But if they can get at least a short term extension, I'd do it if he's the best option available to us. Especially when the WR FA market is so poor next off-season.

Welp. There goes Gabe Davis playing this Sunday.

It doesn't matter. The Dolphins, if they weren't flat out telling teams no, would have no shortage of options that would be both not in the same division as them and perceived to have a higher pick than us. There's a 0% chance they'd trade him to us. But I'm surprised you glossed over the Titans blurb. Your Draft crush from last season might be on the table! https://www.si.com/nfl/titans/onsi/news/teams-making-trade-calls-tennessee-titans-tvondre-sweat
