If Sneed is really being traded for a 3 and 2025 pick then Pats should be in on that and handing him a big extension that overlaps Gonzos rookie deal.

As fun as that Jrue clip was this was my favorite clip from the game: Guys such a ridiculous shot blocker. Inch for inch he’s got to be the best in the league

A couple notes so I don’t have to go back and respond to multiple posts:
1. If they take a QB at 3, I want them to sit him because he’s not going to be set up for success right away. Situation is as important as the right player. If they feel one of these guys is the right player then, please take him, but don’t thrust him into a terrible situation. Bad line, lack of weapons plus a rudimentary understanding of the playbook and getting used to NFL game speed is a disaster waiting to happen. I have no doubt a lot of these high pick QBs who we call busts were just put into terrible spot and ruined.
2. Trade down with the Vikings should be both 11 and 24 plus next years first. Yes, that’s a massive over pay for the trade chart but that’s a premium pick, if the Vikings are trading up for their QB. I’d also roll the dice that that team is going to struggle next year with a rookie QB and that’s going to be a top 10 pick next year.
I’d happy with that deal.

WR Corey Davis coming out of retirement after one year, Jets will release him. That's an interesting option at X WR. If by interesting you mean boring, I’d agree.

It is a QB centric league if they have conviction on the guy(s) available they have to take the swing. Hitting at the QB position can accelerate a rebuild if it doesn’t workout guess what you get to do it again. So far I think they have taken the steps to support a rookie from a backroom staff stand point now they have to keep beefing up the roster if their guy is available (whomever that is we don’t know) they need to take the plunge if not pivot to other positions. If they have conviction, then take him but don’t play him from the jump, unless the line miraculously is great when you get to camp.

I’m resigned to the fact that this team is years away. I don’t want to pay a guy like Ridley who’s not top tier and is almost 30 big money that would have been a waste.
I really hope they don’t draft a QB at number 3 and try to play him year one on this team. I’d rather draft MHJ or trade back for a haul and add talent to the roster. Figure out the QB next year or even the year after.

Stephenson, isn’t an elite back, if they want him, they’ll be able to resign him. Running back values are down. What would a back like him cost? 5-6m a year?

Jennings back in the fold. Really feel like Wolf has done a good job of taking care of our own first. I don’t expect to see Ridley at 4:01 p.m. I hope there’s a trade in the works. The fact he’s waiting screams Jacksonville as it helps their draft. Otherwise waiting does nothing.

Jennings back 3/12 with max value of 24m. Will be interesting to find out what these incentives are on many of these deals.

Feels like Ridley is gonna be a jaguar at 4:01 tomorrow (conditional pick Jacksonville sends to ATL goes from a 2nd to a 3rd) Trade options remain Higgins, Keenan Allen, and perhaps Aiyuk I’m curious why Aiyuk would be available and at what cost. High cost and because San Fran is going to have tough decisions to make soon as guys need to get paid and they’ve already spent big on Deebo.

Everyone realized the Patriots haven’t done anything to get better other than Brissett maybe… right? Uches contract is great because it’s one year and short money for a serviceable situational pass rusher Both of the following could be simultaneously true: They are doing a good job so far in free agency. In terms of personnel, they are worse today than they were at the end of last season. Agreed, like I said earlier, I’d have no issues with them not spending a lot of money and rolling cap over.

Two defensive difference-makers were lost in Week 4 & an all-pro PR and nickel DB & parttime offensive weapon in Week 2 -- I expect they'll all contribute nicely in 2024. That's three pretty nice dudes to add to the mix. Let’s just hope our young corner isn’t injury prone.

Uches contract is great because it’s one year and short money for a serviceable situational pass rusher There’s no maybe, Brissett is unequivocally 100% better than our QB’s last season Onwenu was my #1 priority regardless of if he was here before or not. I’m just happy they retained him Ok sure, he’s clearly better than the nothings we had BUT he got 1 year 8m because he’s not a good starting level QB in the NFL. So maybe we can try and sit here and say, “well they would have won a bunch more games with just a competent QB”… fine, I buy that, BUT we still had Belichick game planning and coaching on the sidelines and he was still a difference maker regardless of how annoyed we got with him for personnel moves. Steve B was also calling the plays on defense and he’s gone so expecting the D to be the same without Bills brain on the sidelines making adjustments is foolish. Could it happen? Sure, but expecting it is another story. It’s not like it’s a defense full of studs, it wasn’t/isn’t. Coaching made it really good. It’s still a long ways to go but right now, this team is worse than last years team on paper. Games aren’t played on paper but that’s all we got so far.

Darnell Mooney got 3 years 39 million from Falcons. That's to bad, he's going to be a monster finally playing with a good QB. What you need for weapons varies greatly depending on the QB, take Maye versus Nix. I'd also point out this might be the deepest WR class ever in the draft. I'm a big believer of match up a QB and WR, so they can grow together. Best value left is likely on defensive side of the ball, really want to see them add an impactful guy either at CB, DE or DT. A top defense will take a ton of pressure off any QB that plays. LT has to be filled with someone, you don't want to enter the draft with that hole, forcing you to have to draft a guy that can play day one. I fear they feel like they’ve already covered themselves at tackle.

Since cap money in the NFL rolls over; I’m perfectly fine with them not using it all versus using it in dumb ways. They aren’t winning a SB next year. That being said; you can’t be in a spot where you set up your young QB for failure, if you plan on them playing next season so a good Line and a top WR is pretty necesary. Want to skimp elsewhere then have at it and roll over that money.

I would have loved to see them let Duggar go and sign McKinney, but he got $17m per from GB which means we likely had to pay even more so that wasnt going to happen, but man how nice would he have been back there…
I hate this type of stuff but they basically have to give the bag to Ridley. Maybe structure it so you can get out of it in 3 years. But you cannot bring a rookie QB in and not have a legitimate receiver for him.
AJ Dillions numbers have steadily gone down but I’d take him on a cheap deal, but I’d also welcome back Elliot.

Looks like Hunter Henry is back 3/27. They really are gonna run this all back and just blame everything on BB and Mac! (I'm fine with Henry deal) It’s a solid contract and there were no other TEs available really so a necessary one to boot.

Towns has a torn meniscus… sucks for Minnesota… I like teams like that being good… was happy Milwaukee won when they did and same with Denver last year. It’s good for the league. The league also needs Boston to win tho..

It’s not ideal losing that game but Cleveland also got unconscious… it’s honestly probably a good thing. Team can’t win out and needs some reality checks to be in top form come playoff time

I was thinking about that Golden State defense and remembered the ridiculous Sixers defense recently and it dawned on me, they are breaking teams right now. I know the Sixers didn’t have Embiid so they were small, but teams have no clue what to do defensively so they are trying crazy things like leaving the lane wide open or leaving a shooter wide open on purpose.

So since the start of February, which is my B-Day btw, the Warriors had the second-best record, in other words, the Celtics just faced the second-hottest team in the NBA for the past 5 weeks and still beat them by 52 points and if I'm not mistaken, going by memory here, they've become the first team in NBA history to win 3 games in a season by 50+ points. Also, the first team to win 4 by 40+
