Free agent chatter

I hope it doesn’t come down to paying Bozeman or Burns. We can afford both…maybe?

We have enough money and can work the cap to sign both of them plus a few more free agent pickups. No need to worry about picking one IMO.

Y'all must've forgot that Elflein is not a good starting OL. His value is as a versatile backup who can play any of the interior OL positions. The issue is that he doesn't play any of them particularly well.

Cade Mays might be an option as well. I think he has played C before.

He literally started as a freshman at Georgia and started every year afterwards at various positions--I think he was a steal in the sixth round. He did start at least one game at C.  I think they played him some at C during camp last year.

I just read above he wants 16 million potentially. No thank you. I like Bozeman but no center is worth LT money. 

Not really believing that they realistically expect that much. The best Centers top out at like $12M and Boze was ranked like 26th in pass pro last year. He's ranked between 5th-10th best free agent center depending where you look

That introductory splash into free agency for Fitterer to solify our OL by grabbing Elflein and Erving on the first day of free agency scared the piss out of me--Campen needs to get in on this one.

Wasn’t that mostly Rhules fault? I mean the contracts he gave them were still terrible but Rhule was the one pushing for 2 bad linemen.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
