Khan,It’s almost training camp 2026. Time to pick up the phone and do your thing.

Khan,It’s almost training camp 2026. Time to pick up the phone and do your thing.Here’s what I’m hoping he's working on:

Trade Alex Highsmith! We’ve got T.J. Watt, Nick Herbig locked in on that fat new contract, and Jack Sawyer looking like a second-year riser. Highsmith’s cap number is a monster we don’t need. Shop him aggressively. A 2nd-round pick would be ideal. I’d happily settle for a 3rd.

Move Broderick Jones if you can. He’s been hurt a lot and hasn’t shown enough when healthy. Take whatever you can get — a 6th, a 7th, or even a conditional 7th based on 2027 snaps. If an injury settlement is on the table, wash your hands and move on. He’s probably heading to the PUP list soon anyway.

Trade the loser of the Rudolph/Howard QB battle. Mason Rudolph still has real value as a proven, cheap backup who’s actually won 9 games. Someone will pay for that. Will Howard might only bring a 7th (if that) in August. Howard needs to ball out early in camp or he’s the odd man out.

Kaleb Johnson should to go. At best he’s the 3rd running back when everyone’s healthy, and he brings nothing on special teams. Trade him for anything — a bag of chips, a future 7th, a player to be named later… whatever. Cutting him and hoping he clears waivers to the practice squad is pure wishful thinking.

Be sure to call the Jets and Browns twice. You’ve proven you can work the phones, so let’s get some 2027 draft capital.

 

Agree on all points. I'll add to #1 that we can probably count on TJ being injured at some point when we most need him. Especially considering he'll be 32 and his career and injury history isnt that different from JJ's who hung up the cleats at 33.

 

Nope



See what @Blast Furnace posted and read it slowly

Very slowly

 

Having strong depth at Edge is desirable. So since I'm not paying Highsmith's salary, I like having him on that depth chart.

 

I picture Joel Bushbaum as a middle aged man living in his mother's basement, pouring over depth charts and highlight films of Steeler players until they're so built up in his mind that he thinks everyone wants them. But maybe I'm way off. Perhaps he's a male runway model with poor eyesight.

 

There are more than one on here

And for some reason they are in your clowns

 

Genius is often not recognized in a person until hundreds of years after their passing.

This may be one of those times.

 

That is funny.

Joel the famous football writer was a true football nerd who lived in a small apartment and was a bit of a recluse. Yet he had a real charm and authenticity about him. He possessed almost encyclopedic knowledge of the game and was excellent on the radio at least I always thought so. In many ways, he and I were complete opposites in build, lifestyle, and rooting interests. He was a big New York Giants fan. I can see this thread didn’t go over well with some of you. But if/when some of those players get traded, just remember this thread.

 

I looked

 

Well, you're old right? Just in case that senile old memory of yours blanks out, I’ll do you a solid and bump this thread again in early September.

 

I will look forward to that being your next post

 

Yes a hundred years into the future Joel will be considered the Vincent Van Gogh of message boards.

 

An ear missing and dead

Ok

 

I hope Khan does not do his "Thing".

Last year it was to trade away your best offensive player after the draft and before training camp started!!!

 

Who

Ir are you talking about the cancer hurting the entire team

 

oh yeah smartypants
pronounce that name
CORRECTLY!!!!

 

WATCH OUT MASON!!!!!!

 

Who: That would be 2025 All-Pro WR George Pickens.

 

Had a hell of a game in the playoffs!

 

I wouldn't trade Highsmith until cut down day or the trade deadline. That's the best way to maximize his return.

 

Great someone trying to turn another thread into another GP thread

Now that idiot will jump on the opportunity

 

Back in the day I started ordering his scout notebook every year (mid 80s on) so that I could flip through it and see something about who they drafted. I don't think I would have become so interested in the draft without it. My friends, who followed different teams, would come over to watch the draft and it would get passed around during the event.

Anyway just giving you a hard time. Cheers.
