Not tendering isn't necessarily saying they don't have plans to resign them. You have to pay cap upfront for the right of first refusal. I wouldn't look at it as "They don't want them" just not paying cap to negotiate against themselves essentially. Would have to be some miracle level of FA period to not have ISM back imo.

The whole single 3rd round pick thing is some team trying to "deaden" his market through the media.

Depends on how they purchased the team tbh, she could be named as co-owner. Which would be funny if his children inherit everything else and she gets TSE and the Panthers lol

I mean there's that unlikely aspect and there's the perspective that when Dave goes she pivots to letting football people run everything top down and she's just the check signer. Sell minority ownership stakes and have an ownership group. Will never happen while Dave is alive bc of Ego.. But by the time this may be a reality it will be more common.

Early yet, but with the early rumblings of what they wanna target this offseason there's no way they think a couple tweaks is enough. I'll happily eat crow if I'm wrong though.

I can ususally fix the wrong link, it wasnt working for me this time around.

No one wants to pay anything for players, period. So ofc an anonymous exec is gonna say something like that. Unless it's their player and they wanna get the maximum return lol. So is the way of the NFL.

I'm not stressing about Ian... at this point. There was no rush to offload him right away. He isn't due a roster bonus so he should be a down the line release.

I assume when they are talking about upgrading the OL.. particularly the iOL.. this is what they are alluding too.

From what someone said earlier in Elonworld.. They can designate moves as post 6/1 when the season starts and the moves are official..

Both of whom secured similar or better pff scores than Donte last season. lol

Depends on the timing.... I don't see us cutting Moton though.

Damn, I actually forgot about that too... they might get even less if another team just calls their bluff and waits them out.

They got a 1st and DJ Moore for the right to pick at 1. The powers to be that chose Bryce made it a better trade for them.

Per the NFLPA we have the *4th* worst owner in the league... silver linings.

Chicago isn't getting a 1st for Fields... If people aren't busting down the door to trade for him now, the closer they get to their self-imposed deadline the less likely they are to get a 1st. I say they get a 2nd/3rd and a mixed bag of picks in the later rounds.

As noted down the line from my original comment, yeah it stings not having the first.... but it's not the only way to get an impact player... I mean look at our last 3 1st round picks... they've been a mixed bag overall... It's not the end of the world if we go into '24 Draft without a 1st.

Absolutely without a doubt. I'd feel WAY worse if we only had our picks... lmao we have like 3 organic picks.

its 6 picks rather than 7. It's not Seattle from a couple of years level bad. We also can easily have more picks in this draft. You know as well as I do it's not and never was gonna be completely fixed in one offseason.

I mean to a degree the QB whispering thing is getting a bit literal. He's not working with Bryce step by step to improve everything. Nor should he be, he'd be neglecting his other duties as a HC. All I need him to do is identify, plan to correct, instill a competent offense. Let your OC/QB coach go under the hood and do the heavy lifting. Watching how the rest of the hiring cycle shake out, Dave's hiring was the correct one especially given the lack of interest (I'll just say mutually) for Jim Harbaugh. With the "top 2" offensive minds going back home.. yeah Dan Quinn would have started a riot here.

I watched both start to finish (they weren't super long) Wasn't filled with quotes about process and conviction though... I mean Morgan just said dawg mentality over and over but they answered the questions. Dave is interesting to listen too though.. he talks football A LOT.. like everything he talks about ends up in some kind of spiel about football or some training technique or some coaching point it's weird but refreshing I guess I could say.

I mean to me Sam Howell is just Mayfield Lite/2.0. They have a similar playstyle, although Howell is more downfield and intentional with his legs. IDK about swapping 1/1 BUT if he became available I'd throw them back a 5th round pick. Neither were in a situation where they can be properly judged.. RR is terrible with QB development and Young came out of what was probably a nightmare of a situation.. Let them get after it and you can move one or the other down the line.

I’d take Russ for vet min. We could always move him to a QB needy team later on, and he could be a quality spot starter if we keep him for the season. No reason to waste more years of other players careers because our QB play is lacking. Dalton was a Reich pickup so I’d honestly let him move on. We don’t gain much in age but a QB the HC and offensive staff is very familiar with could help. Gives a legitimate option for if they come to the realization that Bryce isn’t it. Maybe Dalton could fill that role but I have much less historical faith in Dalton than I do Russ.

With the NE tag, if another negotiate a deal and he agrees to it we can match that deal say it’s 25M.. or refuse to match and the team that strikes a deal with him owes us 2 1sts. It’s not a tag and trade per se. it’s what the Ravens did with Lamar last offseason. No one offered him anything and they negotiated a deal that worked with both sides. Nothing is saying the deal HAS to be 30M.
