What the hell? This makes no sense at all, dude was a 2nd team all-pro last year and is a beast. They have a lot of guys they'd have to let walk soon because of the cap but why not keep him this season and get the same 3rd round comp pick the next year?

I don't really get it at all to be honest unless he did something to piss Belichick off

And we haven't traded our comp pick because....?

In all seriousness, bizarre move at best without knowing the context, when you think about it maybe we will see some change in philosophy moving forward.

Getts has set the expectation for draft day trade ups, (I don't recall any trading down) so perhaps this is apart of our approach in the next draft, having more fuel to trade up is a good thing.

I think this up and coming draft played a role. This draft is loaded with talent. I also believe this draft played a role for releasing Josh Norman.

Railroading yourself into not being able to sign quality free agents so you can pick up a sweet, sweet late round pick a couple years from now isn't really something successful teams hungrily chase after.

They don't have the cap room to go out and sign any quality free agents anyways, otherwise they'd have just put the money towards Collins and Chandler Jones before trading him. They're contenders this year and let their best defensive player go for literally nothing.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By frankw · Posted

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
