Smitty, Dickerson, Carter, Q and DeJean were rookie starters. I'm hoping for a rookie DE to start.

Fingers crossed. Vic has the eye for talent, so it's possible. It's a lot of pressure, though. They honestly need two because Huff can't be counted on and they need to rotate/have depth.

This twitter embedding is driving me insane

Seattle offered Geno Smith and DK Metcalf for Max Crosby and Raiders said no 

I just tried this tweet and it embedded for me. 

 

At this point I'm not sure if it's our boards issue or X itself. Others are having the problem too, but some others aren't. 

Wonder what kinda coin Gainwell got. Guessing not a lot since the agent didn't leak the dollar amount.

Not sure. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't. Yesterday in particular it seemed like a few hours nothing would embed at all.

The one kinda fix I have been using it is just copying, pasting, deleting rinse and repeat until it finally embeds. That usually ends up working eventually outside of when nothing was able to embed at all.

It's back to where it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't

There was that moment when no matter how many times you copied and pasted or refreshed the page that it didn't work and would give that message saying no tweet was there

Us hitting a home run with the Baun signing last year is really going to set up an unrealistic expectation for low end FA signings like Cine this year isn't it

They are about to trade/cut Goedert when he's going to cost them a $21M dead cap hit.

Nope.

Yeah the issue following the 2017 and 2022 Super Bowls was Howie was giving out money to bring back older players.  We are seeing a lot of young guys go in their 20s.

See what I mean about the legs too wide and no knee bend?

I'd still prefer Becton back. Green can be a reclamation project for Stout.

Green isn't really about the RG position.   So, it really comes down to Becton's price.  At the right price, they are ready for him to come back.   If he prices out of their range... hopefully we get a good comp pick in return.

Green is here for minimal cost to prove if he's worth extending as a very young potential positionally flexible depth player.  Those guys are so valuable.

Just a thought...why not just screen shot the tweet and attach?  Might be easier than struggling with embedding

Absolutely.

I find the lack of any rumors around Becton to be very odd. No reports of him talking to teams?

Yes except he wasn't even a typical FA, he was some guy that the Bills had no use for on their PS

X was being attacked yesterday, so that's (likely) why it wasn't working then. If you have to do a screen shot of a tweet, include the link with it  (if it's not too much of a pain to do so). Hopefully, it'll be resolved before too long. 

Not a tighend but would not mind if Eagles made a run at kyle juszczyk.

Best case scenario for a Becton signing is that he is groomed to be Lane’s replacement while Green is reclamated to be the RG after Becton moves to RT.

That's a workaround that solves the issue in the moment. But I want to resolve the issue completely so that the workaround isn't necessary. 

One more thought on the defense -- we saw Baun and Dean make massive, unexpected leaps this year. We saw 3 rookies play way above expectations -- Q, Coop and Hunt. It feels like the organizational philosophy is that we can take guys with talent and skills that have been underutilized and coach them up to be contributors. Maybe they look at Cine as a former 1st rounder and Brown as a 3rd rounder and expect Fangio and Parker to turn one of them into a suitable starter. Same thing with Trott. Of course, Huff would be the counterpoint here. 

We do need more bodies on the D line.

Post June 1st, this years cap hit goes as dead cap and the void years all land in next years as opposed to "disappear without a cap hit"

Yes, that is what I meant.  Poor choice of wording on my part.  Thanks!

Baun I would call unexpected.   But, Dean was supposed to be that guy when he was drafted.  There was some noise about him as a first round pick that year, but fell with the injury news swirling around him.  He didn't show it early, but I think last year he lived up to his pre-draft hype.  Perhaps most of it was from the leadership perspective. 

Unlikely, but throwing it out there:

Sign Becton and trade Steen for Mayer or Jermaine Johnson(Jets always need OL). Green becomes the backup.

Question no one has discussed that I've seen... 

Why is it that two guys who live together both have such issues with injuries?   Avonte Maddox and Dallas Goedert are best buddies, roommates and both struggle to stay healthy.  Is it possible that their nutrition isn't up to snuff?  Or they don't take care of their bodies as well as they should, but play too much nerf wars?
