    Jackson can't stay on the field and his play is consistent, they could use two more CBs.

    And are the same time, per his scouting reports, due to his short arms he likely will be moved to G. And as for Moore, his value has dropped this past month. He'll be affordable to re-sign.

    Will he? He’s not position flexible nor among the best LT’s.

    Tomlin seems to love him so I wouldnt be surprised if they try to bring him back.

    why would they want him back? he isnt a top tier LT, he isnt position flexible and he will want more money? All of these reasons by themselves are reason enough to send him packing.

    That's never mattered to Tomlin if you're one of his guys.

    Are we good enough on OL now we can just start casting off guys?

    The only way GP is not here next season is if he gets traded or if he retires.

    I believe Najee is as good as gone. But Warren is an RFA, meaning we have more control over his future.

    We have been drafting for DL.
    Leal may be one we keep due to he's only 24 years old. His injury history may be the biggest strike against him though.


    I would keep our secondary as is. I would also draft another CB and another Safety.

    Our ILB room finally looks formidable. Plus getting Holcomb back (maybe). The best it's been since we lost Shazier. I think this group is solid with good players and good chemistry.


    Pick up another edge rusher in the draft. Can never have too many of those guys.


    And lastly, Russell Wilson will not be here, and neither will Kyle Allen. I bet we go with Justin Fields and a draft pick rookie.

    they WILL NOT go w JF. Russ might be here, but JF is NO ALTERNATIVE moving forward.

    it is a CHEAP RUSS contract......or back to FA and / or a Rook....

    Nope, the starting tackles will be Fautanu and Jones. They need to spend money in free agency elsewhere to fill holes.

    That secondary is one of the weak links on the team no way they should they stay as is, get rid of Sutton, Jackson, and Pierre.

    I've wondered if Milroe would be a consideration in the first. It would basically be like having Fields circa 2021. But as such I'd think they'd keep Wilson to be the starter, which has looked less ideal the past few games, and I don't know that I trust the staff to develop a QB. But you've got to have one.

    I don't know why you guys are assuming they want to re-sign Moore? He sucks time to upgrade the position.

    He's a relatively cheap player that offers stability and there would also be a hope that a new OLC would bring more out of him.

    Don't see that happening. I could see a trade to the Raiders being possible considering his wife's career and Tom Brady pushing for such trade. But I doubt that'll happen. Considering his no-trade clause, Tomlin carries a lot of leverage.

    I forgot about Benny. I was convinced he was a Raven fan. Where is S.T.D hiding? Maybe he will fill in one of the blanks.

    Hey, I'm going to ask you a question. I see this trade Tomlin stuff. Is it possible a team can actually trade their HC?????? I can't remember it ever happening. A HC can be traded to another team and forced to be their HC or retire???? What the hell do you get for a HC???? Thanks!

    Quite a few examples

    Bill Parcells from the Patriots to Jets
    Bill Billichek from the Jets to Patriots
    Gruden from the Raiders to Buccaneers
    Sean Payton from the Saints to Broncos

    Bulk of those featured 1st and 2nd Round picks.

    No way Fields becomes an accurate thrower if he isn't already. It doesn't just happen, I really can't think of anyone that became dramatically more accurate, you either have it or you don't. If Wilson goes and we have fields we will be in the same boat again. I get Rome wasn't built in a day, but we will shortly be in the alternating cycles of defense gets old, offense is new, then we have to draft defense and the offense gets old. We seemingly can't have complimentary football. Another example will be Pickens will be an attitude bust so now we have to go expend money on his position that should have been a lock for years. This is what kills you, if you miss on drafts and then miss on bringing in free agents it continues to set you back.

    It will be Wilson or Fields starting next season if they don’t land a FA QB and the only one worth going after is Darnold. Not likely they land him.

    I’ll take the 10 year younger player who at least has a chance to develop over a 37 year old with nothing left in the tank.

    But whichever one is starting they need to draft a QB even know its not a great class, they have to at least take a swing and have them learn being Fields or Russ.

    Pickens likely gets traded. And Fields is likely a year or two solution, unless they draft a potential bust this spring.
