I think the plan tomorrow needs to be:

- Have the highest offer for Calvin Ridley
- Have the highest offer for Tyron Smith

After that, let the market take shape a bit and then start making deals for positions with strong markets (like safety, CB, RB), and keep in touch with their own free agents like Onwenu/Bourne while they test their markets. Also, talk to several QBs and see what works best (Brissett top option but see what’s out there).

If they can solve WR1 and LT for the time being then it lets them be flexible with the rest of their dollars and their draft picks and build the overall strongest team.

Have the highest offer for a athletic RB and a offer on the table for our QB however that comes.
 
Well it starts

What starts? He expressed a desire to play for Mayo. Sounds as though they made him a fair offer and he wants to see if he can do better on the open market. Happens all the time. He isn’t gone yet and more likely than not will give them a chance to match another team’s offer.

PS. Your uncropped screenshot links are still an embarrassment and should prohibited. What say you, @Ian?

Those are better than others since it at least includes the reporter. But I agree, vague shots without a credible reporter are something I’d prefer we avoid on here.
 
Well it starts

He’s much younger than I thought. After Judon went down, Wilson seemed to be all over the field. He’s a guy I hoped NE would resign for affordable $. But with the cap increase, there might not be such a thing.
 
If Wilkins goes to Texans, there are next to no big fish left inFA (Hunter, Simmons, McKinney, couple of corners…).

Man, I hope they find something this year.
 
very good start thus far. Bourne, henry, Austin back. Dugger likely back. Brought in chuks

Others i hope we can retain: wilson, jennings, p brown

Signings: splurge on dl or edge. Wilkins or hunter? Would love another gamebreaker to go with judon/barmore. Mid level signings- upgrade interior ol depth since a bunch just got released, get one of these rb’s while their market is cooler. Brisset or flacco

Not a big fan of the available wr or ot. Look to the draft for those, maybe trade a future pick for a sure thing
 
Zolak saying get ready for fireworks tomorrow.
 

“Hearing Monday & Tuesday get ready for fireworks,” Zolak posted on the X platform () Sunday. “Lots of irons in the fire.”

FWIW. Zo usually ends up being wrong about these things.
