Mike Kaye has mentioned him, but go after the other Bengal, Ossai. Get Ossai who's entering his prime years for 30% of the price, and then use the money to fill other needs. Scourton, Ossai, Pat Jones, Princely, Draft Pick. Unless a 26-27 year old star is there, a 31 year old Hendrickson commanding big money seems like a poor allocation of resources.

Too many job openings this year for McD to not get another HC job

Not going anywhere in '26, but 2027 is the out spot. Save 14 mil in '27, 18 mil in '28. The contracts are big, but there's outs with him and Lewis both, with Lewis's out starting this year if you want to save 9 mil (but, no). Tillis did his job on these and gave flexibility. Biggest issue right now is who are we replacing them with, which means the '26 and '27 drafts better have some legit OL picks.

OT: Re-sign Nijman, draft an OT in the first 3 rounds and possibly in the 1st. TE: If we don't sign a vet like Cade Otton...Sadiq at 19 looks enticing. LB: Attack in FA and grab one in the first 3 rounds unless we get lucky at Styles is at 19. Edge: Same a LB. They may trust getting Patrick Jones back to not go after someone in FA, but that's also not enough. CB, QB, WR - mid to late round picks

Just feels like Allar is the type of guy we'd target, but after watching one Youtube highlight video of the Arkansas guy.....I miss that type of QB dynamism.

I'm fine with Kaye, the young beat writer is the one I can't stand. If you ever want to stab yourself in the ears, listen to the Processing Blue podcast, where neither have charisma, but the young guy works in a lot of "Yo's" and says cool kid things like "mad crazy" and "that's tight".

The 2027 QB class could be a niceeeee time to need a QB and not have to trade up that much...

We hope for other teams to make a mistake, instead of forcing them to make a mistake. After Stafford's hand is clearly bothering him. I had come around on Evero a little this season, but damn. If you're scared when the game is on the line, GTFO.

Dart and Skattabo together will be both of their downfalls. They're just going to feed off each other's stupidity and immaturity until they're head butting more CTE into each other in their assisted living facilities.

Yep. I know there was some conditioning conversations in the offseason/early in the year, but he's grown and proven it. Throw him 3-4 years at 5-6 million per right now and see what he says. Essentially Tet's contract equivalent right now. He gets life changing money after coming out as a UDFA, and is up for another contract when he's 28 giving him another shot to cash in.

All year long it reminded me of Washington last year. Constantly going for it (and getting it) on 4th down. It worked...until it didn't this year and Jayden was hurt. Washington got exposed for being a bad team that got lucky this year. That...does not make me feel good going into next year unless we see some changes.

Steelers still have his rights. Anybody that wants Tomlin, has to trade for him.

2026 should be all about continuing to add talent, no matter the position, and winning the division. Unless something magical happens, we're still not winning the SB next year. 2027...IF we hit on another good draft, all bets are off. At that point, tell the Bengals to name their Burrow price. Herbert, tired of getting beat up in LA? Trade up for a QB in the deep 2027 class. Whatever it takes...but this roster is still being built in 2026, to drop the QB in in 2027. If we feel good about where we're at going into the 2027 season, take whatever QB swing you need to.

5th Year Option is good business Hear out what BY wants on an extension, but that's all the talks that should be had. Don't dare give him an extension, and hope he magically turns into the MVP and then re-set the market for all I care. 5th year, fine. Extension? No shot.

Nobody on this list will cost that much, and I'd like to see them all retained. Some guys like Rozeboom can probably get more elsewhere, but offer him a cheap 1 year deal and let him decide. A lot of those guys are minimum contracts and depth, where they belong. Priority number 1 is re-signing every bit of OL depth we have after Ickey's injury. I *think* all of those guys could be had for cheap enough. Nijman might be the most expensive at this point since teams are always desperate for a LT. Give him a "big" number on 1 year if you have to. Coker, re-sign now for a 2-3 year deal with decent money. If he's healthy next year, I'd expect him to put up solid #2 numbers and become more and more expensive. If Evero is here, Nick Scott will be here.

Yosh, Christensen, and a draft pick of some sort should be the plan at LT. Then pray our OL got all of their injuries out this year.

Chiefs, Bills, Cowboys...whoever wants XL, come get him.

It's one thing that drives me insane, and speaks to the conservative nature of Bryce and Canales. You drafted TMac for a reason...toss it deep in those scenarios and maybe draw a flag or your volleyball player makes the play. It's an arm punt if nothing else, oh well. The 20% chance the play works is worth more to me than 10-15 yards of field position a lot of the time.

Very excited to see what TMac and Coker do in 2027 with CJ Bailey at QB

I think we get blown out, but whatever...house money right now. I just *hope* Canales and Bryce throw the kitchen sink at them. Play smart, obviously, but we're going to need to get weird and lucky to pull off the upset. Conservative check downs won't win this game.

True, Harbaugh would've been awesome if those reports are true. But, Tepper.

I truly think we *had* to hire a Canales. Nobody except a nobody wanted this job after the way things unfolded since Tepper took over. I'd have offered Vrabel a blank check and said congrats, you'll stay the highest paid coach in NFL every year. But I still don't think he would've taken it with the stank we had/have on this franchise.

DB was actually #3 in the fan vote, for all those hating the fan vote. He got dropped because of player and coach voting.

Payton Wilson. Won the Butkus and the Bednarik. Probably a 1st rounder if not for the medicals, but we didn't want to roll the dice I guess.

He's a great backup...which is hopefully where he'll be in 2026. Unfortunately, I think the staff sees more in him than everyone else. Hope I'm wrong and Morgan upgrades the position, but he seems like an Evero guy despite the fact better LBs were on the board including Dan Morgan's clone.
