If we think that what is there at 3 is a potential top QB, then we should pick him, period. ================ WHAT IF WE THINK THAT THERE ARE 2 TOP QB's, BOTH GONE Now, it is time to focus on finding a starting QB with a relatively high floor. We can hope, but we really are looking for a...

When will we draft a QB?

I would like to see Elliot decide where he will play in 2024 (here of Dallas). We do need another RB. A LT signing is certainly possible, and desirable. The rest can wait until after the draft (free safety, DT, 3rd TE, backup LG, STers).

The STer are almost all gone. 11 players played in at least 35% of the ST reps. 8 are gone. Schooler, Tavai and Mapu are left. GONE Board Slater Phillips Wilson P. Brown Davis Montgomery Guy

I'm fine with trying to trade for a relatively young #1 WR. He would be part of the 2026 divisional run. That trade could come anytime this year. However, it seems more likely that we will sign a WR or two in the next off-season. ======== WR IN THE DRAFT I suspect that this is a low priority...

The secret is that extending veterans almost always reduces their 2024 cap hit. That is why extensions are an important tool is making more cap money available in the current year. https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/new-england-patriots Obviously, a lot depends on the details of the contract...

DEFENSE ISSUE ONE - SAFETY This is one place I could see us adding a player, or two if Dugger isn't on the 2024 team. We still need a free safety. Perhaps it is Mapu, perhaps Hawkins, perhaps Bledsoe, perhaps Peppers and the same schemes as in 2023. ============ DEFENSE ISSUE TWO - 2025 FREE...

WHERE WE ARE ON MARCH 26th ------------------------------------- 1. We've re-signed all of our free agents that we wanted as part of the future. 2. Where we lost folks, we made replacements, usually upgrades: LB from Wilson to Takitaki, DT from Guy to Watts, OL from T. Brown to...

The Defense is in fine shape. Of course, there is an opportunity to upgrade at positions where players are gone. PLAYERS WHO NEED TO BE RE-SIGNED OR REPLACED DL - Guy LB -Jennings CB - Bryant CB - Jackson S - Phillips S - Mills

I expect that the remaining three ERFA's will be re-signed to the 90 man squad. There is little cost and thery have no choice. S Bledsoe LB Elliss WR Nixon Rourke, Austin and Wheatley have already been re-signed. That leaves 15 free agents, including RFA LB Terez Hall.

Are there limits on spreading out salaries? For example, could a contract have a $2M first year salary and a $14M 2nd yea salary. I know that this use to be OK, but I thought that they many have changed the rules. ======= It would seem that Wilson would want a contract like this, guaranteed of...

I use this site to show the possible relationship between AAV's and first year cap hits. I would expect the first year cap hit to be 1/3 to 1/2 of AAV. And this might be made lower with mor aggressive use of void years and other tools...

DRAFT 50-50 to get a QB, and would need to use considerable draft resources If the QB doesn't work out after 3 years, rinse and repeat. FREE AGENCY pay 35-40M per year If the QB doesn't work out, cut in two years, rinse and repeat THOUGHTS 1) Using the draft includes the first lost year since...

Would we bring in a former top WR who is recovering from injury for a show-me year at vet minimum? Of course we would. IMO, we need to understand the concept of dead money. We have Shuster who has been injured and is still recovering. Last year, he performed at the level of a #4 WR. Of...

Folks seem ready to fill lots of holes with draftees. IMO, we hope for 3-5 contributors each yeae, and most of those in the 2nd or 3rd year. ========== THIS YEAR - ONE SCENARIO 1) a QB at #3 2) an OT starter at 34 or in the first after a trade up with a 3rd or 4th0 (the quality is there) 3) a...

Are we allowed to cut an injured players or one with a non-football injury. If so, what is the contractual and cap consequence? If we cannot cut the player, do we still owe him his bonus if he is on IR or NFL? ========== Jackson is due a bonus on Day 3 of the new contract year.

In order to have the flexibility to draft a QB at 3, we need to have a plan for getting our OT's. I well understand that we may not draft a QB that highly, but we need the flexibility to do so. In some sense, free agency should not force picks in the draft...

Why didn't SF choose to defer and allow KC to receive in OT, clearly the best strategy given the new rules...

Obviously, we will be better informed to make this WAG after free agency, the draft, training camp and the pre-season. However, my guess is that the resulting WAG's won't be much different than now and will vary at least as much from poster to poster. ================ Will we be satisfied with...

How long will the Belichick boys wait? How long will Mayo wait on Covington's promotion? How long will Josh wait? =============== After all, there is wild speculation that Bill might be able to coach next year in KC after the coach's retirement.
