Word is Jabrill Peppers is losing his starting spot to Randle with the Browns.  Shot Panthers try to trade with the Jack of all Trades Browns for  Peppers?

Then we could have 2 J. Peppers playing defense for us.  I am all into important stuff.

Hey, I like those options. They have a Gman/moneyball/value aspect about them.

Realistically, I would cut Ryan and Sheperd and maybe rework some deals.  This is based on the $19m we have to spend and the 9 needs we have.  Marty's loyalty gets him in trouble--here, Kalil is his albatross.  Second chances should come with an increase in experiential knowledge.  Not with Marty--in fairness, I think RR is behind this as much as anything.

That's a real possibility.

I know it will probably never happen but man I would love someone to throw a huge 2 year all guaranteed deal at Brees and lure him away from the Saints.  That would rock.

The problem is there is no team in FA that would be a better fit in terms of winning than the Saints.

 

Saints already have a loaded offense. Who can offer Brees that?

Spending serious money the past couple days. Didn't they do this a few years ago for a WR, G, and a CB? Granted, they were all outsiders and these are re-ups, but still... hope it works out the same way for them.

Agree, chances he leaves there are very slim to none.  Would be nice though.

41 million for Brate?

Not saying he sucks, but man...

Evans, Brate, and Jackson all with big money deals, and a first rounder last year on Howard. No excuses for Winston in the passing game... Bucs are spending money. Maybe not wisely, but they're spending it.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
