Rapp out the year

[BullBuchanan]

Thank you Rapp!

Sincerely,
Me and all of your teammates who you would inevitably injure.

how many safeties will we draft?

after the obligatory 4x high motor undersize DL, I expect the rest of the draft will be S and CB

[Gunsgoodtime]

Hate the injury for him, unfortunately won't miss him on the field.  Backup level talent along with several of our other starters

[CirclnWagons]

A strategically placed tackling dummy within the correct passing lanes creating optimum tripping hazards will pay bigger dividends than anything Rapp has shown capable of this year. Wishing a quick recovery but not at all worrying about what we’re “losing” with him out

And the defensive injuries continue unabated, not that Rapp will be missed…

 

At least his missile tackles won't be injuring anyone else on D

This will help prevent future injuries 

[DapperCam]

He was having a really bad season, maybe he was playing through an injury this entire time.

We've seen the last of Taylor Rapp IMO.  Saves us $3.3m off 2026 cap to cut him next offseason.  Easy choice.

 

Beane has a lot of easy choices next year:

1. Cut Rapp=$3.3m savings

2. Cut Samuel = $6.3m savings

3. Cut Knox (or he cut's his salary in half)= cut $9.5m savings

4. Re-do contracts for our top 4 Cap Hit guys: Josh, Ed, Dion, Spencer --- significant savings, continue to kick the can

5. Extend/new deal: McGovern

6. New deal: Torrence

 

 

Harder choices / see how these guys perform rest of season:

1. Taron: cut = $3.3m savings (as of now he looks like we should be replacing him)

2. Potentially: Bass; cut = $2.9m savings --- then draft a kicker

 

Focus areas:

1. WR

2. DE

3. S

4. Nickle corner

 

 

[BeastMaster]

Should've never brought the guy in as a possible starting solution. He was a Rams cast off that was slow, but Beane loves those guys

 

Joshua Palmer was the same thing last offseason. Not even good enough for the Chargers to offer a contract, but good enough to be a starter for the Bills

Thanks for this summary - was just about to check on Rapps contract for next year as well!

entering this Chiefs game, down nearly half of our starters. 

[Ethan in Cleveland]

He was never meant to be a starter here. He will not be back

If Ed has any trade value, I would move him. He is a good player, but he is small and get injured

We're missing two starters lol. 

 

If you want to count Jones fine, that's 3. But Walker should be starting over him the rest of the season. I suppose it's possible they start alongside each other now that Ed is hurt. 

 

You can't count Rapp as being down a starter when literally anyone else would be an upgrade.

2024 Rapp would be a big loss

2025 Rapp, this is the best possible thing

 

Hopefully whatever was wrong with his knee contributed to the decline and he'll be back to 2024 version next year ... in a depth role.

He had a two year contract.  He may just be gone.

I for one will miss his hesitancy, poor angles, missed tackles, and 4.7 speed in the secondary. 

I will miss his borderline late hits that often ended up targeting a teammate. 

[Einstein]

@GunnerBill I know you love Ed and I don't blame you. But he has missed 8 games over the last 3 years and will miss at least 14 games this year.

BPA equates to RB.  Then sits three years watching Cook. 🙄🤨
