The FO's wheels are turning.

Recommended Posts

Like many of us, I am trying to read the tea leaves in order to get some whiff of insight into the minds of our FO.

Now, they haven't given us much, but we do know that they have entertained the idea of J.P. Losman and Derrick Burgess. And there have been some weaker speculation about Pat White. I am thinking that this definitely means that they are looking towards the long term future in regards to the necessity of a QB, and that Jake will be our starter for a maximum of two more years (which makes his new extension exactly what it is: a 2009 cap move). Moreover, their interest in Burgess means that all their public intimations about keeping Pep are a big smokescreen for an imminent deal that will see Pep out of Carolina very soon.

Our FO has made very smart personnel decisions and is not above surprises. This year's draft will be no different. They are doing the things that a lot of us are whining about, which is looking past Delhomme and Pep. Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas! By the end of the weekend, we will all be pleasantly surprised.

I questiont he length on Jakes contract but come draft day I trust them.

I started questioning it too but if you look at the guaranteed money...20 million. We could get out of it (if he doesn't earn a bunch of incentives) paying him 4 million bucks spread over the next 5 years...Not bad for a starting QB that won 12 games last year.

The contract is back loaded, I'm 95% sure we won't keep him for all of the 5 years, unless he like get surgery on both of his arms into high quality composite metals, Jax Delhomme.

I hope that is the case, but I don't see us dealing him today. It's my understanding that we can't trade Peppers until he signs his tender. Since he has seemed reluctant to do so unless we trade him to one of the 4 teams he wants, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I have little to no respect left for the man. Greed is a pain in the ass.

    • Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys Cowboys receive: WR Jonathan Mingo, 2025 seventh-round pick Panthers receive: 2025 fourth-round pick  Dallas Cowboys: C Leave it to Jerry Jones to wait until after Dak Prescott is injured to go after another receiver. To be fair, the Dallas Cowboys have a real need for the position. CeeDee Lamb is a superstar, but Jalen Tolbert and Brandin Cooks haven't been the needle movers that the Cowboys were hoping for. Making a trade for a receiver wasn't a bad move, but the player that the Cowboys gave up three rounds of value to acquire is questionable. Jonathan Mingo checked a lot of physical and athletic boxes as the 40th-overall pick in 2023. Unfortunately, the 6-foot-2, 220-pound wideout has struggled to be a productive receiver at the NFL level. Some of that has to do with playing for the Carolina Panthers, but Mingo has seriously lacked efficiency at the position. Mingo has yet to record his first NFL touchdown, catching 55 passes for 539 yards. Per TruMedia, he has just 0.74 yards per route run in his career, which ranks 177th out of 186 receivers with at least 50 targets since the start of the 2023 season.Even though Mingo fills a need, that's a lot of value to give up for a receiver that's struggled so much at the NFL level. The good news is that he still has a couple more years on his rookie deal, so at least the Cowboys are getting a cheap developmental project to learn from a star like Lamb. Carolina Panthers: A Instead of trying to hold onto Mingo, the Panthers took what they could get, and that turned out to be way more than expected. Mingo quickly became expendable thanks to the rapid ascension of rookie receiver Xavier Legette. Along with a larger-than-life personality, Legette has hauled in 26 catches for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Three of those touchdowns have come in the last four games, with Legette becoming more and more of a focal point in Carolina's offense. For a team that needs to capitalize as much as possible on draft assets, moving up three rounds in the draft to move on from a disappointing draft pick feels like an absolute win. https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-trade-deadline-2024-grading-every-move/
    • Keeping Johnson and losing him in the offseason and not getting anything in return is worse. At least we got a pick out of this. Even if we pick a long snapper in the 5th it contributes more to this team. And who says we are going to use the Ravens pick, this is just more ammo for Dan to package into a deal and maybe move up. He has shown that he's not afraid to wheel and deal in the draft. 
    • He played at Alabama under one of the winningest coaches of the modern era. They beat the brakes off small schools because they're Alabama and Bryce could pretty much do whatever the hell he wanted behind that OL against that level of competition. But those games against Georgia and LSU stand out. That's how Bryce has looked in the NFL. Simply overmatched. That's why when you trade up to #1 for a QB you take the guy with the phsyical traits and the best arm. You play games and gamble on a point guard or the next Steph Curry and this is what you get.
