    Good point, dont watch him close enough to know what kind of blocker he is or even willing.

    This looks good value for a starting calibre safety.

    Anyone have an idea of what cap we have available?

    Would love to see grab Mike Williams and Boyd.

    I wonder what it would cost to get each of them. Williams was on a 20 mil/yr contract, I doubt he would get quite that much at his age coming off an injury. He would fill the DJ void well though because he is a similar caliber player. Boyd was on a 10 million a year contract, but certainly is no longer worth that much. Robert Woods seems like a reasonable enough comparable at 7.6 mil/yr. I'd guess it all comes down to what it would cost. I think Williams would be a great #2 for 2-3 years and Boyd more of a stop gap to not force an early draft pick to be the #2, but to hopefully very quickly get overtaken and return to what I think his best role is in the slot/#3. Different players for sure, but both could bring value.

    They need depth

    Edmunds at vet minimum to be a backup is ok

    That's solid for the team and player. I like Curtis. I do hope Boyd lands here.

    I wouldn't hate that. Fitzpatrick, Elliott, Kazee, and Edmunds wouldn't be terrible. I would still rather they bring back Rowe.

    Steelers better do something on offense. They basically have 1 WR. Dunno what taking them so long.

    Some options remain, more than at center, but the pickings are becoming slim. Was it here I read the rumor about Odell Beckham wanting to play with Russel Wilson? I certainly hope that isn't the plan. They just got rid of one headache at receiver. The solution isn't to replace him with another, less-durable one.

    And if either Pickett or RW struggle he's not the type to keep his mouth shut!!

    KP, and Rw may be the reason we haven't signed a Wr. Yet, lol

    I liked what I saw from Trenton Thompson last year better than the thought of Edmunds returning.
    Scribe, you don’t think Trenton Thompson is in the mix? I liked how he looked at the end of the season before he got hurt. I think they may be set at free with Minkah and Kazee and at strong with Elliot and Thompson.

    They’ve been kicking but the last week. Settle down Chicken Little.
    Still FA’s available, the draft and cuts after the draft. I’d be worried if we had a game next week, but we don’t.

    Trade - Howell, a 4th and a 6th to Seattle. 3rd and 5th to Wash.

    That 2022 QB class of Pickett, Ridder, Willis, Howell, Zappe, Corrall currently has none of them starting. With the exception of the last pick in that draft Brock Purdy.

    Wow. So is Seattle moving on from Geno? Wouldnt think they’d give up a 3rd and 5th for a backup.
