Absolutely would love this pickup. However, he may opt to stick with the Seahawks since they actually win. As an elite field stretcher AND top shelf returner, he will have a ton of suitors. Edit: I will caution that we ask our WR's to run block a LOT. Same issue that cost him snaps in New Orleans.

Trubisky would be a top 5 backup QB with potential for long term replacement stretches if Bryce gets benched. The issue will be price. Also a big fan of Allar late in the draft. THAT is the kind of injury gamble you take. Not in the 2nd but on a 5th-7th rounder that was formerly a top 2 round prospect.

Yeah, he isn't one of these top end talent/arm guys. He has middling talent and he's a bit of a headcase. That's squarely a 7th or later acquisition for him, IMO.

Most of those guys should be available in the 5th to UDFA range too. We have a chance to finally bring in a good #3 developmental guy or potentially a #2 upgrade.

Nijman would be one of the worst RT or LT's we have had in a long time. He is incapable of being a long term replacement. He is occasionally okay in spot duty. We had a significantly better backup suited to taking over the duties at RT/LT for longer stretches and not becoming a turnstile(like Nijman) in pass protection, it was BC. He is gone, however. I think any thoughts of jettisoning Moton are immediately null and void with Ikey out for 2026. Had you returned Ikey, Lewis, and Hunt it's easy to spend some money or draft capital at C and then perhaps look at cheaper options for RT. Now we are inna scenario where we cannot be looking at two replacement OT's in the same offseason. That will be somewhere between an utter disaster to prohibitively expensive. The best course of action is try to get a solid, older veteran on a one year deal to replace Ikey, sign/draft a long term C and hopefully find a future RT prospect(with some LT ability?) in the draft. This gives you a LOT of flexibility and leeway in 2027 if you opt to jettison Ikey or Moton.

Remember that Coker isn't actually a free agent at all. He is an ERFA which means we can technically ink at league minimum and he cannot negotiate with other teams.

Forcing a coach to fire a coordinator is a common NFL occurrence. In this case it would be forcing him to fire himself from those duties.

I did answer your initial question with my intial answer. Also, you are aware this already happened? He didn't have any say in getting Evero.

Well Canales is already a bottom 3 OC and bottom 5 HC. How much worse is it possible to get?

It would work by bringing in someone competent.

"Pricey" for C is considerably lower than any other OL position. Hence why it was so insanely stupid to spend the money we did on OG.

My translator says something quite a bit different. I think Canales stays as OC and it ends up getting him fired after the 2026 season.

Linderbaum is leaps and bounds better. That would be the C we have been looking for since Kalil retired.

Depends on price. He is a bottom third to quarter starter but he is a very valuable backup. If we can get him on a cheaper, backup deal I would love to keep him. If it comes to paying him starting NFL C money, he is 100% not worth that.

Sign me up for that poo. Give me that as a "floor."

What in the sweet fug is "havoc?"

He was not considered small back then. I have no idea where you are getting this.

Bryce Young has half the talent or less, however. That's an issue.

New England is just not a very talented team, I think that will catch up to them sooner rather than later. Stroud could attempt to give it away, though.

This has been one of the wildest offseasons for the coaching carousel in recent memory. @LinvilleGorge furiously trying to match Belichick with current NFL owners.

It was right at the end of his SF time. Hence why it makes zero sense to extend Bryce. If your ceiling is Alex Smith(Bryce has nothing near that as his ceiling) then there is no reason to invest in that. Let's focus on building a team for the future Pat Mahomes, not Alex Smith.

Eienne and Corbett should get Dave fired alone.

The issue is that Mays isn't appreciably better than Bozeman. It won't take much in terms of resources to find a solution there. We just keep ignoring it, which is somewhat understandable given what we have invested in the RG and LG. Linderbaum is a free agent. If he doesn't sign with Baltimore, throwing money his way would definitely improve the OL unit tremendously. In the 2027 offseason, there will likely have to be a wholesale overhaul of the OL unit anyway.

Smith didn't really pan out until his 7th year in the NFL.
