Rate the off-season

Good

FA:
Brisker was a solid pick. I only wished he was signed a year or two longer.

Dean is another solid pickup. Net positive is he's not another over-the-hill guy Tomlin liked adding and this guy has a couple of years left in the tank.

Pittman was a great pickup via trade and gave up very little capital to get him. Might as well consider this a FA pickup as much it's truly considered a trade.

Rico was a good pickup. He'll be a solid 1B option in the backfield.

Signing Herbig and eventually JPJ are great things moving forward.

Overall, including the draft, I find the additions to the roster more as a net positive as guys like Brisker and Dean are 3+ years younger than guys they've added the previous couple of off-seasons.

The Bad

Keeping Heyward, Ramsey and Cam. Having those guys on a 2026 roster does nothing for building a potential SB roster in 2028 and beyond. I guess the good news is there's still time to at least offload Ramsey.

 

On paper?! I give it a solid B.


Draft was the strongest overall point within the Offseason for me. I still have doubts about Daylen Everette but not quite as much as I did during my initial assessment of him. He seems to be trending up but that really won't be determined until Training Camp begins. Weakest part has easily been the extensions; namely Peezy Jr's.


Not sure what is going on there but hopefully a deal is done soon.

 

I think JPJs deal will be done immediately following the preseason.
