it would be nice but I have a feeling that the FO does not want to sign ANY big money Free agents

I'd like for the FO to take a chance on Bryant but only if the money was right. I don't think they will more so cuz of his past character issues.

haha I don't mind spending a little money to get him. he's a good proven receiver, and we have quite a large amount of $$ to spend with Peppers walking. and as for character issues, Smith will smack em up a bit(literally? :P) to keep him in line.

if we picked him up, we might be able to address other needs with our 2nd round pick rather than a WR.

Yeah I get your point, but keep in mind most of that money they save from Peppers is gonna be used on players currently on our roster. It'd be nice to see him paired up with Smitty though. :)

Yeah I know, but the thing is it's not like Bryant is going to require some giant contract. He could probably be had for a great deal, I mean TJ Housh was worth more than Bryant currently is, and Housh is only making $7 million this year. We can easily afford to sign him and still have room left to get Davis/etc signed.

He would be a hefty price tag. However he and Smith would do some heavy damage. Couldn't afford to double team either of them if they're on the field at the same time.

Hell yeah It'd be like covering Boldin & Fitzgerald. Damn we still gotta wait another week for free agency to start I'm getting anxious.:P Though at the same time I'm not gonna hold my breath.

I would be fine with getting Bryant if he isn't expensive to keep. With how we're not paying to tag Pep, maybe we can have some salary left to sign Bryant once we signed Moore & others first. Maybe then we can get a DE or something on our first pick in the Draft instead of a WR.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
