Coker isn’t an FA

The only person from that group I’d overly care about bringing back is Cade Mays and maybe Christensen just so the OL can continue doing what they’ve been doing chemistry wise 

Woods would be fine but I wouldn’t overpay. This team needs to be realistic this offseason and realize we’re not playing for a SB next year. 

Keep the OL together. Get Young a WR or two. Then focus on defense but do not overpay for guys just because we need to fill holes. If Young ends up being our franchise QB then take the approach that our first realistic competitive year starts in 2026

Coker is an ERFA - we have rights but we still have to sign him to a new contract.  He was a UDFA so he was on a 1-yr deal.  He belongs on the list.

As for the team priorities, WR is down the list behind most of our defensive needs.  You have XL, Coker, and Thielen - there are certainly upgrades to be had, but WR is not as big a need as EDGE, DL, LB, CB, or Safety at the moment considering contracts and talent.  I am all for one of the top 3 WR's if they are Brian Thomas level or better, but not at the sacrifice of most of those defensive needs.

Higgins is the only one I'd feel comfortable giving big money to. Godwin is good, but coming off a major injury and, IMO, hasn't flashed true #1 ability the way Higgins has. Granted, both play opposite elite WR1s.

I do think there are some solid #3 options available; Josh Palmer from the Chargers is my favorite.

We already have a #3 though....would you want Palmer over Coker/Thielen?  I honestly like our top 3 at the moment.  If we don't go get a true #1 I would rather leave it as is.

No more high priced FA. This team must draft their way out of football purgatory. 

this.... unless it's for the trenches and we hit it the way we we did OG. i think this is the only place we should be throwing a lot of FA money if we're going to be. 

would rather we build through the draft, though and save the big money for good players we want to keep around.

Naw thats the old plan, If the Panthers truly believe Bryce is their guy. they need to gear up while he is on his affordable rookie contract and see how far he can take them.

We need at least 2 WRs IMO. We need a WR1 and a WR3/4 speed/deep threat/returner. Due to our cap situation I don't see us actually getting/going after a Tee Higgins type of FA. Maybe if our cap was more like the Patriots. Basically we are going to have to scout and draft our butts off.

      Current Draft Position & Potential Prospects

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Why I think the Jags may not be picking in the top 5:  They could run the table--but I do not know how you play these teams without 2-3 wins.  If LV wins, it hurts their chances--I think the split with Tennessee, and beat the Jets at home-- Regardless, who knows?  Bad teams are unpredictable.  I see the first round of the draft going this way: 1.  NY Giants (Saints and Colts are winnable games on schedule-but the Giants will be underdogs in both; predicted finish is 2-15) 2. Patriots  (not winning another game--they have 4 to play; I am guessing 3-14 and they have a pretty weak SOS) 3.The Browns have 1 winnable game--@ Bengals, and the Cats will be favored.  I predict that Winston is going to Winston--final record---3-14.  SOS is weaker right now than Vegas 4. Raiders (Saints and Jags on schedule---A win would take Vegas out of the Ward/Sanders race.  I think they could win 1; probably finish 3-14 5. Panthers could surprise some folks--here is why:  They play Dallas at home and that is a possible win. They end the season at Tampa Bay--and then the last game of the season against the team that may have the division wrapped up---Atlanta.  If so, they will play their subs, but it seems Tampa won't go away. Atlanta and Tampa Bay are currently 6-6, but the Falcons will probably lose to Minnesota and Washington, ending 9-8.  Tampa has an easier schedule down the stretch, with probable wins against the Raiders, Cowboys, Panthers, and Saints.  I think they win 3 or 4 of these, and that would prevent Atlanta from resting starters. Predicted finish:  4-13 because I think the Panthers will win one because they are improving, but Dallas is their best hope for a win (at home).  It is possible that they do not win a game, but we are playing too well not to get a W in five chances. 6. NY Jets (Jax only winnable game left, but with Rogers, they could upset someone.  probable 4-13) 7. Titans have 3-4 winnable games left on the schedule; expect 2 wins)  probably finish 5-12 or so. 8. Jags have nothing but winnable games left--Titans x 2, Jets, Colts, and Raiders-Jax could run the table, but they won't.  With Mac Jones, they could actually get a boost.    Expect them to finish 5-12. TEAMS with 4 WINS Bengals the are the first 4-win team but they have 3 winnable games--they will finish 6-11 by winning 2 of 3 vs. Cleveland, Dallas, and Tennessee. The Saints (4 wins) have the Giants and Raiders left.  They win at least 5, probably finish 6-11 The Bears have 4 wins and with SF, Minn, Seattle, Green Bay, and Detroit left, they may be headed for an 11-game losing streak to end the season.  Yikes.  Predicted finish, 4-13 THE DRAMA:  1. NY Giants--Ward, QB Miami 2. New England (TRADE with LV Raiders)--Expect the phone to be ringing with Vegas on the line and they will throw a ton at the lucky Pats, making it impossible for them to say "no".  The Pats have needs at Edge, WR, OL, and CB--so they will want picks. However, if they trade, they probably lose Travis Hunter, so the price will be steep, and the Raiders will pay it to bring in a brash star to be the QB of the future. 3.  Cleveland --With both QBs off the board, the Browns take the best player in the draft, Travis Hunter, CB/WR. 4.  New England (from Raiders)--Hard to say, but they will be focused on Edge, CB, WR, and maybe OL.  I am guessing they take the position that will be gone by round 2.  A. Carter, DE/Edge 5.  Carolina:  With the top WR in the draft on the board, along with Graham, the top DT, I do not see an edge or WR worth this pick.  I think they trade or they take Graham DT or McMillan WR.  We need a #1 WR, and we are getting DT Brown back, so the choice is a toss up.  If it were me, I would 1) trade back 5-10 spots and get both Edge and WR, 2) Graham, DT (can you imagine how awesome our front would be with Graham and Brown?) 3) McMillan WR.   My pick is Graham, DT, Michigan.  I think an edge like Boston College's Donovan Ezeirukau (80 tackles, 17 sacks) or a WR I really like--Elic Ayomanor from Stanford.   My sleeper pick is Mike Green (edge, Marshall).  Since Ayomanor is not a #1, I would take Exeirukau (BC Edge)  That is how I see it now--but we should be picking around #5, and we know 3 players that are going off the board 1-3--Hunter, Ward, and Sanders.

      Serious question: Jameis Winston or Bryce Young straight-up?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This is exactly why I want him as our QB next year after taking T-Mac and having a great young group of offensive weapons who need to expedite their seasoning. He says and does some really weird things, but even with how much they're laughing at him here, McCoy says how much he loves Jameis, because despite the weird stuff, his teammates love him and he's a pretty good leader (except for maybe the pregame hype speech apparently lol). All that combined with his arm talent and no fear of attempting any pass, he's the perfect QB to help build up young WRs, TEs, and RBs like we have. Let him get them better for a season or two and then go all in on a FA, trade, or trade up in the draft to get the right QB to add into all that talent for a real SB run. I'm fine with losing 3-4 extra games for that season or two with him as our QB if it means our young offensive skill position guys have an expedited growth of their game because he's gonna sling that rock all over the place and at a high volume.
