We Have to go QB rd 1 and we all know we will go that direction.

but we really need to help the young guy.

 

One thing that’s a QBs best friend is a Solid TE.  We payed Ian Thomas, but that guy would be a TE 2 or 3 in any other roster.

Washington is a Massive human being and a good athlete.  He’s a Mauler as a blocker and a good enough receiver.  Having him and Tremble in 2TE sets is a dream, almost like Baltimore.

I love Darnell, and he's moving up draft boards.  The kid over at Notre Dame is the concensus best TE on their boards, with grades in the teens (where Greg was drafted).

They say he is hall of fame material, been called baby Gronk since high school.  I run the draft mock machine at fanspeak about 30 times a day while working, and when I can get the ND kid (Mike Mayer) I've been taking him with the first pick of the second, turning down good offers for trade backs.

Darnell is always available on those big boards, and it would not be unheard of if both TEs went in the first before our 2nd pick.  Teams in the late 20s in the draft would see valuable versatile pass catcher still there at that point will take him.

    • 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.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
