I think the reason why Hortiz got hired was because he played a significant part in what they did in Baltimore the last couple of decades...how much of what was happening in Baltimore was his doing is probably impossible to know, but it's probably safe to say that Harbaugh had some inside knowledge about that situation that very few people around the NFL had...Originally posted by dmac_bolt View Post
Hortiz wasn’t making picks in BAL - why do I keep reading about Hortiz did this / did that? DeCosta was GM, he was Director of Player Personnel there."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

Cousins is going to start for someone and someone is going to have to pay him a LOT of $, I will say this, I'm not a fan of Cousins but at this point in his career (IMO) Kirk's better than what Matt was when ATL traded Ryan to Indy...the NFC south is open, there is no dominant team there, probably only the panthers are outside of contention for that division...Originally posted by Boltjolt View Post
Interesting, he gets rid of an older QB with a big cap number now he wanted to spend big on another older QB?
another thing to consider with Cousins is that he will require zero draft capital to acquire..."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

who fits minter's defense better Jared Verse or Dallas Turner? Assuming that they trade down, which guy would you guys take?"The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

I think you are misunderstanding the cap situation for Bosa. If we keep him his cost is 36m. If he is cut or traded his cost is 22m.Originally posted by powderblueboy View Post
14 million in cap savings, but then there is a dead cap space hit, which is more.
So Bosa is going to make $22m minimum this year regardless. The question is if he were a free agent, would you sign him for $14m this year plus $7m guaranteed to pay out next year? Because that is what your option is with his contract.

Well thats the \ reason to hire/promote him here, agree. I love the hire too but it’s nothing but a bet.Originally posted by Topcat View Post
True, though Hortiz was surely in the war room on draft day, and no doubt gained a lot of insight on trading up and down...
A lot of statements are made as historical fact “hortiz does this, hortiz does that” - in truth we don’t know what he’s gonna do as he has never done it once in his life, much less set a pattern of doing anything repeatedly.Justin Herbert is Elite. Ride or Die ...

We’ll see if he does. The story line is he thinks he has a roster that can win now with a good QB. He’s right - It is a weak division, they could.Originally posted by Boltjolt View Post

Cousins tends to sign shorter deals than most. I think he’s a coach killer personally - he’ll win and win when it doesn’t mean anything and then he’ll crack and slit your throat when it really counts. He’s done it his entire now long and storied career.Justin Herbert is Elite. Ride or Die ...

Whats not a lot of money for Cousins? He isnt playing for peanuts either. He is worth more than Carr imo. Jefferson signing a new deal is based on where Cousins goes. If he aint at Minnesota, he isnt signing there feeling i get from it. So Minnesota has some work to do if they want to keep him. Maybe a trade to #5?Originally posted by Fouts2herbert View Post

I've been posting about a trade down with the vikings for several weeks now, to me it's the team that seems like they are the most desperate and will be willing to offer the right type of package to the chargers...plus the guys that will be available at #11 are still going to fill premium needs...if Daniels falls to #5 or if the vikings target JJ McCarthy early in the process then the trade might even happen before the draft...Originally posted by Boltjolt View Post

I can see the Chargers getting multiple 1st round picks, like 11th and 2025, plus other considerations like a 3rd rounder in 2024 or perhaps even a player that fills a need on the roster right now....
EDIT: the vikings don't have a 3rd rounder this year but they do have 3 4rth rounders so perhaps #5 for the 11th pick, 2025 1st, cam ackers, and two 4rth rounders this year and maybe a 5th rounder next year, IDK it would have to be a decent size bundle, something like that..."The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

The giants would be a much better trade partner. Swap picks and move our third rounder to second rounder or get their third rounder outright and move down only one spot.Originally posted by Fouts2herbert View Post

Just my opinion but I think McCarthy will be the one a team moves up for if he is not taken in the top 3.Originally posted by gzubeck View Post
