It's a good question. And I think it's also a reflection of the hiring strategies. BB hired younger guys. And since he was pretty clearly the...
WR part is funny because they got a reputation for being able to pick WRs (which I think is because we always picked one early / Ben made them all...
Thanks for this! I think we were churning WRs because they are expensive and we had an expensive QB. So many early RBs is a bad call IMO since...
I think that's the number for if we cut him. https://overthecap.com/player/t-j-watt/5614 Per OTC, dead money if traded pre-Jun1 is "only" $30MM...
I disagree with the "long storied history (of good CBs is what I assume you mean) until the last decade". Because of the "last decade or so" part....
This is cool! Thanks. I agree with you that it's nice that both have large samples so the percentages are probably pretty reflective. I wonder...
Do people think this hasn't been the case for a while?
Thanks! You are right (and I was wrong!). Looks like they'll have to make that big decision this offseason. My guess is that they restructure...
Agree that Ike is at the top of this list. I think Porter is probably next. But in fairness, it's probably too early to tell. Maybe others (e.g....
You say "bailed". People who watched and judged Kenny based on what he did in the NFL (not at Pit) probably say something like "stopped throwing...
The issues with Lamar are that (1) he gets hurt a lot and isn't in great playing form by the end of the season most years and (2) he just hasn't...
100% agree that we'd obviously rather have the QB problems of the Rats and the Bengals. Again, hard not to laugh at the Stains here for signing...
I hope it's that low because it would be team friendly. But I expect it to be close to (and maybe beyond) $30MM.
Certainly true for replacements. That's why only being named to the original team is the only thing that matters for 5th year options (e.g., why...
Yep. Unfortunately, the players also know that waiting is best for them (e.g., Watt).
And turns out that a CB not getting targeted means the CB is doing a good job (or at least a better job than the other CBs on the team). This is...
I was also thinking / hoping it would end up being lower. My gut was something like $27.5MM / year. And it's possible (but I think low) if it's a...
I think the acquisition cost will probably be too high. But if Omar can swing a reasonable deal for Jones, that's the best option on this list IMO.
Sure..but he's clearly way more valuable than Watson. And his cap hit is ~$23.5MM. There will be a pretty big decision re: Watt next offseason...
LOL Stains!
