It's the Lane Kiffin thing. He is QB poison. TBH, I think history will prove you correct on Dart.

It's the same with the OL group. Why would you not continually churn that group? Worst case scenario, you are moving players because you can't pay everyone. I am too, TBH. I guess it's really more Dan Morgan than Dave. I am nervous that this "alignment" isn't skepticism but belief. I don't think Tepper will make the right decisions the next cycle. I think once again it will be either HC or GM being fired out of cycle and then another merger of the minds with the existing entitites. I am not of the "Oh Tepper has learned!" crowd. I think he has learned to not be such a fug head in front of company and that's about it.

This is why I have said that the last straw for me on Dave and Dan will be how they deal with that QB room this offseason. Improve it or I am 100% out and I will be calling for their heads until they finally roll.

The early draft articles are gonna be pretty sketchy. All that material gets better as real NFL scouts and FO folks start talking to journalists and draftniks. Also everyone will start locking into "draft mode" and doing serious deep dives as opposed to less surface level quick looks. This is projected to be a very weak overall QB class so it is possible some of those Day 3 guys make their way to Day 2 but I don't personally anticipate that happening to a lot of them.

100%. Jack Plummer, Hendon Hooker and Mike White are not serious options in any way, shape nor form. It should be someone that can immediately supplant Dalton as #2.

Love the idea and the player, he is literally exactly what we need to fill a couple of roles but it's highly unrealistic.

Chambliss??? Bro....he will be lucky to be a 4th rounder. I don't think you are reading this situation correctly at all. He is basically Malik Willis-esque minus the elite arm. Raw, athletic and needs a ton of polish.

Hopefully(for us) he isn't healthy enough to work out much. That will keep his draft position suppressed enough to get it down to Day 3.

That is definitely not true. It could be true with a few of them but this is also the thing people said about Anthony Richardson or Dillon Gabriel or Shadeur Sanders or JJ McCarthy or.... You get the point. Bryce is very bad, in fact he is basically a backup QB. But there are worse QB's and more than we sometimes think.

Yeah, I think he stays with Seattle. You don't trade for a guy midseason and then let him walk in the offseason unless he was a disaster.

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."
