It's beginning to be the same level of pressure but less commitment. It's likely to just be an ego thing.

Are you a very, very new NFL fan??

Who would sign a 30 year old backup OL with an Achilles tear under those conditions? It's just pointlessly flushing cap money. He didn't garner any free agency interest last offseason so why would be suddenly a hot commodity with a blown Achilles? This makes zero sense.

No, I mean you literally have to pass a physical. There is no sense in signing him until he is healthy. Otherwise you are literally paying a guy that is likely to never play a game that season. That happens to players under previous contract, not unsigned/free agent players. Look at the Lions and their recent attempt to bring Frank Ragnow back. He couldn't pass the physical.

I don't think he will just get Rooney Rule interviews "just because." There has to be some level of at least passing interest.

fug the Cowboys is your answer.

I mean....why would someone sign a player to a contract that can't pass a physical? That would nullify the contract.

I don't think it is very likely. We will see. I wouldn't be exactly distraught if he was to leave.

I don't think Evero is going to be in any head coaching cycles for the near future.

I think Hendrickson and Phillips would likely want top 5 pass rusher contracts to come here, if I am being honest.

Yeah, if he was able to be healthy eventually, yes. Possible that we end up signing him at some point during the season when he finally gets healthy again. I don't know if you are aware but he did rupture his Achilles tendon in late Oct. It is unlikely he will be healthy for the entire 2026 offseason and very likely that he misses some or all of the 2026 season.

BC got no bites last year. After the injury he sustained, he is unlikely to get any bites at all in free agency.

BC is not a young player, sustained an extremely serious injury and is a free agent. It's unknown how he factors into our future plans, unfortunately.

It's not really different than normal, TBH. They aren't terrible for longer term looks but individual game poo has a WILD amount of variance. It's a subjective grading system, so there is a lot of variance naturally.

I like Mays well enough but he's ultimately a bottom third/quarter NFL starting center. We must endeavor to do better, preferably through the draft. That said, much like BC, Mays is a valuable backup because of his versatility. We do need to keep him around but not at a substantially above market rate amount.

I got this poo. Warming up now. That's time on I-40, right?

Signing Mays to a long term deal to be a long term starter at C is a bad idea. Signing Mays to a reasonable deal to be a long term RESERVE is a very smart idea.

I mean, we are dramatically worse than that time period. There is a chance the FO has improved(not convinced) but there will never be a moment that David Tepper will ever be a better owner than Jerry Richardson. Tepper needs to set his sights smaller and try not to be worse than Woody Johnson or Dan Snyder.

Yeah, minus the fact that this owner and FO are significantly worse, I guess??

Now imagine this at the upcoming 18 games/season.

I can look at that this week possibly. Maybe 3rd Quarter leads for the entire Tepper tenure? Should I extend into the end of Cam era? Could just do a straight 10 year block?

IDK, sometimes the "eye test" and the PFF grade don't really match. PFF is interesting from a season chunk perspective but game to game it's preplexing.

I would say maybe let the rest of the season play out. That's a good start.

He has been that guy the whole time, TBH. Proved it several times previously.

I mean, I don't think there is much chance of a "competition" anyway. He is either gonna be the guy or they are gonna move on from him.
