My literal reaction every time Warren Foegele scores:

Him and Moore should be an improvement in the red zone, where we badly struggled last year throwing the ball (yes partly due to Teddy but also because none of our WRs or TEs last year excelled in the red zone as receivers. McCaffrey was our only red zone threat, frankly, and he missed most of the season). Solid signing, and cheap enough that even if he doesn’t add much other than a big body in the red zone, it can’t possibly hurt us that much.

Tepper schemed this up so they’d cut him then once his name is cleared we just sign him for free. Genius. Seriously, I would want him for the right price still if we are confident he will be allowed to play without a long suspension or stay on the exempt list. Don’t care what players do off the field if they aren’t criminal matters and don’t affect the on field performance, frankly.

This needs to happen. Then add Malik Hooker at FS and our D looks really really fuging good.

I think he was RFA. edit; nvm he was ERFA. will be RFA next year. They have him really cheap for the next couple years

Yeah pretty bad but let’s be honest if the Bears took either of those 2 while they’d probably still be quite a bit better than Mitch, they wouldn’t be anywhere near as good as they have been for their respective teams. BoB was a disaster of a team builder but he built a pretty damn good offense there and developed Watson well. Obviously Reid has played a big part in Mahomes’ development too.

Not a bad price but a bit more than I’d want to pay him here. Happy for him getting paid, and I think we’re better off using that money on our defense acquisitions.

Can you expand a bit? Reddick became a high 1st round pick because of this scheme...

Same thought crossed my mind. I don’t want to give up Burns at all but if we do in a Watson trade I’ll feel a bit better about it having Reddick here now than if we didn’t sign him.

This seemed inevitable. Awesome signing!

$2.1m for him seems fair, I won’t blame him one bit if he leaves if we won’t even offer that much.

The sexual harassment stuff that just popped up will also likely make it take longer. We (or any other team) aren’t giving up a crap ton for him with that hanging over his head and potential NFL discipline. I don’t think he gets traded until that is sorted out, which could be before the draft but who knows.

Carson Palmer?

Burns is worth 2 first rounders for sure. Brown worth a top 10 pick or more. So that’s 2 top 10 picks and 4 other first rounders. Can only laugh at that.

Wouldn’t want to give up that much but there’s no doubt he’d be a big add to our biggest position of need. Would probably be at the very least Monk or Graham, 2021 first rounder, Zeller. Not sure I want to pay that price for him honestly and that would still probably require an add from us.

They’ve lost a lot of really good players, including a hall of fame QB, and have a ton of dead cap coming up. They’re not going to be contending any time soon.

Yep Watson will look at that and say “awesome! Taylor is gonna help this team get back on the right track while sitting on the bench behind me, now I’ll come back to the team and play!”

Not exactly but I do recall TD saying several times that he’d never play anywhere but Carolina then he went to the Chargers and the Skins...

Not relevant. They used a relatively significant amount of cap space on another QB. Watson will not be happy about that at all.

Damn fug that. That makes me angry, he’s probably gonna put up 10 TDs there

You do realize them using this much cap space on a QB will piss off Watson even more and make it more likely that he’ll cement himself further in his stance of never playing for the team again? If the Texans were convinced they could wait Watson out or still try to make amends with him they would not do this deal, they’d look to improve the roster around him. He’s as good as gone, just a matter of time and how ugly it gets.

Yeah Texans clearly see the writing on the wall with Watson. This signing will also only just piss him off more and further cement his position. He’s getting traded before the draft, is my guess

Too late, they’ve already spent all their money lol. Either Jags or returning to Carolina on a 1-3 year deal is my guess.

Melo so far but it’s close

If he does leave I’d love for him to go to JAX. Would be fun watching him in that offense with Lawrence.
