How'd Chris Jones, Derrick Henry, Mike Evans, Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman, DE Josh Allen, Khalil Mack/Joey Bosa, Christian Wilkins, Calvin Ridley, Courtland Sutton, and every other high priced or unlikely acquisition you posted about exclusively for months work out for you?

Oh, I know you were. That's why I put a laughing emoji myself. Sad part is there probably is people who think that's legit.

In today's day and age, I don't think a Mary Jane gas mask would have the same effect on a prospect falling as it did with Tunsil then.

This isn't news. He listed Allen among a list of like 4 QB's he'd like to play with. Doesn't matter though. He's going to go in the Top 4-6 picks. We won't be able to sniff him. A free fall for MHJ is like falling from 4th to like 8th 😂

Quite a bit. Especially in the higher Rounds. There hasn't been a player we've taken in Round 1 that we didn't meet with at the Combine. It's essentially the official job interview when it comes to this regime.

Teair Tart is a good under 30 rotational piece as well. My guess is one of them ends up here. Then there's the Draft and I'd expect WR and DT to be taken as our picks in Round 1 and Round 2, in whatever order Beane sees best with how the board falls. We got Jones back to fill our hole at starting 1T, which was the most important thing. But with where we were at financially and everything we had to, we kind of had to let the market come to us for rotational depth. Unfortunately, the DT market was both very active and very expensive. But I think we'll still get a good veteran rotational piece and a high Draft pick (possibly another later) and we should be good. I wouldn't rule out Jordan Phillips returning as back of the roster depth too if he decides he wants to give it another go.

Austin Johnson and Teair Tart represent the best fits for what's left in my opinion, which funnily enough, when I was looking up the correct spelling, I just noticed someone updated his Wiki to say he's a Bill and I just had to go back and check the board to see if we had signed him lol Campbell, as good as he still was last year, will be 38 years old when the season starts. I'm not interested in giving money to a 38 year old. At just about 9m under, I think it's all in on DT help and then it's probably on to the Draft. Whatever we don't adequately fill out in the Draft, we'll address later and/or with Tre's money post-6/1. Factoring in where we're at financially, where we're at with DT, and money we'll need for Draft picks - things like expecting a 3rd Safety signing right now (and specifically Simmons) seem silly to me.

Spotrac has us at 8.54m under - without accounting for Mike Edwards, Casey Toohill, and Ty Johnson or the Taron Johnson savings. Edwards seems to be about 3. If we assume Toohill (being a DE) is about 2.5 (just a guess) and Johnson is minimum - that would be about 6.5 estimate. If we then push down the 3 lowest contracts to fit them into the Top 51 - that would make that 3.75m in accounting for those three (the difference between 6.5 and the 2.75 for the lowest 3 contracts). So a rough estimate right now has us at about 4.79m under, without the Taron re-structure being accounted for. Reports are about a 4.1m savings for Taron. So that would have us at roughly 8.9m under right now, by my calculations.

It's extremely bizarre. I remember last season him banging the table to get a DE. Then when we signed Floyd, instead of being happy about it, he immediately started banging the table to sign BOTH of Melvin Ingram and Justin Houston too. It's always manic behavior like that during the Offseason. I guess most people just ignore him - but the non-stop over the top ridiculousness irks me, obviously as I've earned a reputation of being a "party pooper" by constantly refuting his posts. Blackmon has "several suitors". He wasn't interested in signing when he was here and it's no coincidence we then brought in Edwards the next day and signed him the day after. If he wasn't interested in signing with us before we signed Edwards - why would he come back to us now and be part of a 3 man competition for 2 spots with Rapp and Edwards - when he'll surely have better options for a more secure role and/or a more secure contract? Though I will say, as unlikely as that it is, it's WAY more likely than Justin Simmons. What about what we've been doing with the Safety room in re-signing Rapp, visiting with Blackmon, and signing Edwards says we're interested in signing the most expensive player at that position (besides McKinney)?

Beyond not needing a CB for anything but depth - he was released because of a Domestic Violence incident. So, no. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39779567/lions-release-cam-sutton-amid-police-search-cb-florida

40 times for DT's are basically meaningless. It shows a little bit of athleticism, but doesn't mean a thing compared to things like hand usage, strength, and technique.

Scuttlebutt was we offered something heavy in incentives. Which isn't surprising. He tore his ACL before he was Drafted. He tore his Achilles a couple years ago. And now he's coming off a Shoulder injury late in the season. Unlike White, both the ACL and Achilles happened early in his career and he's had years removed from both to show where he's at. But the fact remains, he's gone down a lot for such a short career. Regardless of what posters want you to believe, Blackmon and Edwards are close as far as prospective options in the market went. When we brought in Blackmon and then a day later brought in Edwards and signed him after that - that said to me Blackmon wasn't interested and we moved on. I don't think odds were great he was going to come back to our offer to begin with. Now that we've signed Edwards after re-signing Rapp, I see the odds of him coming back to our offer even less. He'll get a better deal elsewhere or the same deal with a team that has less of a competitive aspect. TL;DR It'd be cool if we landed him too - but I think the Bills and Blackmon have moved on. I don't see this as something you should be expecting or waiting for anymore.

They aren't that close. Blackmon given his injury history is probably a 3.5-4m base with incentives. Simmons will probably be around 10m.

I'm confused by Tier 1 being WR, Tier 3 being RB, and Tier 2 being "General Offensive Weapon". The only other "offensive weapon" besides WR is RB (which you list in Tier 3) and TE (which we absolutely do not need). Are you saying Tier 1 is an Outside WR and Tier 2 is an Inside or Inside/Outside WR? I mean, even that is probably something we don't need as Samuel is an Inside/Outside tweener and Kincaid and Shakir are Inside guys.

This thread should go well....

First two tweets on my recommended feed back to back. Yikes!

Talk about being ratio'd 10 yay 101 nay

So like, what are we doing with this thread then? Sounds like you have your answer. He feels it's better for his body to do it this way. And it's not like we've seen a dropoff in his game because of it. I don't care what Josh does in the Offseason so long as he keeps playing like Josh.

Oh, here you are There's nothing left to say You're not supposed to be that way Did they push you out Did they throw you away? Touch me now and I don't care When you take me I'm not there Almost human, but I'll never be the same Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own Long way down I don't want to live in here alone Long way down I don't think I'll make it on my own

He's among the least talked about because he's going Top 10. Possibly as high as 7. We're not sniffing anywhere near him. We'd be lucky to be able to get to Brian Thomas Jr. As I've said before - we interviewed every Top WR Prospect at the Combine. We didn't even bother to do so with Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, or Rome Odunze. And for good reason.
