Tremble is solid and young player. If they want to pay him marginally more I have no problem with it. It’s a nothing burger

More details out. Tremble is only counting $3.6 mil towards the cap in 2025…which was right in line with OverTheCaps projected pay to sign. Don’t overreact until you get all the details. Or do you..or whatever So… TE Room 2025 Cap: 4.8 million C Room 2025 Cap: 5 mil The Initial 2/16 deal was full comp with incentives.

I’ll just throw it out there - Some interesting splash potentials we haven’t been rumored about but have been in Fangio-disciple systems: Dre Greenlaw and Byron Murphy

Just going of expected vibes, we’re probably landing something like Shemar Stewart, Darian Porter and Marcus Mbow

I wouldn’t be surprised with Dre Greenlaw if they don’t think Trevon is ready. Also think secondary could get +3 pretty quickly.

I’m honestly not concerned Depending on the terms, if this is $8 mil guaranteed over 2 years, the bulk of the remaining $8 mil could be voidable. And with the increase in cap, so factor in the proportional increase per room, this could be structured for basically just paying him 5-6mil per over two years if he doesn’t turn out. So if nothing blossoms, it’s marginal, but we know his floor. Totally respectable TE2. He’s like a Trey Burton IMO but is still just like 24 or something. So, if nothing blossoms, with just that guaranteed, if we need room, 2026 cap room could get cleared easily. I often wonder how he would be doing if we didn’t have the worst passing game in the NFL from 2021 until the final 6 games of last year. He always makes noise when given the chance. It’s whatever. With this years decently sized cap increase, anticipate slightly higher contracts than you’re used to.

I feel Milton is a huge FA red flag. Terrible run defender. Had a limited snap count with an awesome front 7. And he’s about to be paid top dollar starter money to a team that’s not the Eagles.

If TEN wants Carter, I see them sticking put or swapping with CLE who they leverage to outbid NYG. Daboll/Schoen are probably screwed if they can’t get to 1. They’ll end up with Wilson or Rodgers.

Found some guys public google drive that’s been collecting it - surprised google sheets pasted in here better than their word app

I haven’t looked into Amos as much but know Porter has been getting the post combine buzz. Their sheets and reports read like real possible outside corners. Would be nice to snag one. So many needs, whatever these guys think is the best fit/player available combo. Just hope they can identify the good ones.

FA will predicate everything and change every mock projection (usually why I don't like waisting my time on mocks too hard quite yet). I think the top-3 is near lock (Ward, Carter, Hunter) regardless of FA, but then it's wide open. For example, NE has a ton of money to spend. If they land, let's say Ronnie Stanley/an LT and a DL, their selection and entire draft gets reshaped. Maybe a sneaky Jeanty landing spot.

Amos CB, Mbow OL and Porter CB are interesting ones. All have buzz, could be 57 territory. From interviews and this list, seem somewhat focused on DB as much as the front-7.

He may be done - he had some crazy sciatica and other issues. He's been injured every other week for like 3 years.

I think we got a bit of a deal with Lewis but no doubt overpaid to land Hunt. This year will be telling if it paid off/if this can somehow be a competitive team/sniff the wildcard race. Teams are starting to covet IOLs as much as OTs with how the game is these days.

Well one thing's for sure, JSN's fantasy stock is to the moon Dan & Dave know him quite well...this could have real legs

I'm being a bit delinquent today during Teams calls today too haha. Noticed Allen watching McCord. He's nice. Strong pass catcher who could come in and not really take away from Chuba. But also fill in if needed. -a quick edit/add- For Tyleik, I already like him and then heard there's a lot of quiet buzz and he's been interviewing super well (forgot where but it was yesterday) Seems like a guy teams don't want to let out they are coveting.

Great thread. For me: QB: Kyle McCord RB: RJ Harvey, Brashard Smith, LeQuint Allen (love for us) TE: Tyler Warren, Mason Taylor WR: Matthew Golden, Jaylin Noel, Jaylen Royals OL: Campbell, Wyatt Milum, Marus Mbow, Luke Kandra EDGE/OLB: Ezeiruaku (love), JT Tuimoloau, Bradyn Swinson, Princely DL: Grant, Harmon, Tyleik Williams (awesome fit IMO), Farmer, Norman-Lott LB: Jalon Walker, Barrett Carter DB: Xavier Watts, Darien Porter, Dorian Strong K: Caden Davis - @Icege I like your McLaughlin shout out. He had a bad injury so may have a delay to start, but he's a legit NFL center.

I agree in terms of priority. It's why I've been been a big fan of Grant, Tyleik, & Harmon. This was just a more EDGE specific look. I'll probably do a "my guys" thread but, but a glimpse at those: EZ OLB, Harmon DE, Tyleik NT/DE, Mason Taylor TE, Xavier Watts S, Milum OT

I don't dislike Walker. Would be happy with the pick but with that comes expectations-- which is IMO a more NFL-ready version of Nolan Smith (which I think you're alluding to). That being said, Smith hasn't lit the world on fire yet. Made great strides this year though.

Nice link- Tyleik my man, word may get out on him. Best run-d talent and at arguably are most important area of need.

He was a guy that was so damn fun during the season and you could just see "it". Then you watch highlights and it's like, yeah damn, he's good. My thinking is starting to be -- if we're seriously considering these guys like Mykel, Shemar, then we absolutely should consider Ez. Especially if everyone is true in thinking there's only 2 blue chips, a few more 1st round talent and then a big ole' pool of fringe 1st/2nd types. He has a great move-set, counters, is a legit technician rushing the QB. His run defense is not bad at all though people will point to his size and say it could cause a detriment...but he's not really THAT undersized by any means. People will look at the height/weight and think he's an outlier, Micah/Parson/esque, but the dude has 34" arms. He's not a shrimp, not to mention the top 3-cone, top 20 shuttle in his class. His frame is more like Turner, Verse, WA Jr. IMO. He's a guy if you draft him, you instantly boost your pass rush. There's no question marks there. There are flaws with pretty much everyone after Carter, why not take the most polished pass rusher?

I'm not a trade up guy, but that type of one in R2 is appealing to ensure we land an impact talent. Whether it's for a DT like Tyleik Williams, DE like Harmon, CB like Porter, or Ezeiruaku. Sucks we don't have pick 40. The chart difference value to the top of the 2nd from 57 is minimum a mid 3rd. So a bit steep, but could see a minor trade up to the 40s if a impactful talent we love if sitting there.

Excluding Carter, I think I can quickly sum up the conundrum at EDGE. 1. Promising Prospect with Major Wrinkles Jalon Walker - Size/Down-to-Down Position (ILB v. OLB) James Pearce - Reported issues in the locker room & beyond (one source) (another - Per C. Kinnan) Mike Green - SA Allegations/UVA Dismissal 2. Biggies lacking Pass Rush Skills (High Ceiling/Development types) There's the guys who test well, but don't have the tape and aren't the best pass rushers. This is often a bust prototype with some success stories every now and again. This includes: Shemar Stewart Mykel Williams 3. Donovan Ezeiruaku Best EDGE in college this season (IMO), has the length/span of a 6'5 guy - came in a hair under 6'3 248 (Bigger than Walker), better run defense chops than given credit for (83.6), & tested incredibly well. So tape and testing both big fat green checks. Sooo with this said, this is where I say: Don't be shocked if we don't end up with an pass rusher (or) you hate our first round selection. Walker is the least bust-able of the bunch here, but his impact may not be as big as you'd want year 1. Bottom line is I hope we go BPA, think this kind of shows why it could be smart (But I do love Donovan). I just look at Nic Scourton, JT Tuimoloau, Jack Sawyer, Princely, Elijah Roberts, Powell-Ryland, Savion Jones...there are guys with just as much upside we can land later. I just don't see the value when Mason Graham, Tyler Warren, Will Johnson, or heck, even Colston Loveland could be available. I don't see the value in getting a Stewart or Mykel over them. But also, don't sleep on Ezeiruaku. And while I'm at it- Derrick Harmon if we're looking at the DE 3-4, especially if we trade down. Out of all of these prospects, those are the two that if you just think back through the college season, they terrorized offensive lines and got it done. Long story short- offseason can distort.

I'm good with no one then.
