    Different pots of money.

      Teams have to spend 95% of the salary cap on players.

        QUESTION - what’s the latest on Nick Niemann? Is he anywhere close to his brother in terms of untapped talent? After an adjustment period, Bro Ben seems to have arrived as a solid defender. I believe Nick had better “measurables” out of college. But I don’t recall what his shortcomings where last year. How did his season on special teams rate?

          He apparently does quite well on the ST unit. Hard to say what he could be if he started over Murray for a game, but the potential is there to be another Drue.

            I expect TT to go younger and cheaper this off season. We didn’t win this year with these expensive players so their jobs are on the line.

            Expect some “ouches” when cuts come.
            Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
            The Wasted Decade is done.
            Build Back Better.

              - Michael Mayor - TE - Norte Dame
              - Brian Branch - S - ‘Bama

              - Olu Fashano - DT Penn St
              - Anton Harrison - OT Oklahoma
              A couple of those names might end up being considered “reaches” at pick 21 IMO…but addison could end up going higher…as a whole, I wonder if this crop of WRs is as good as we’ve seen in the last 3-4 years…

                  Washington is a huge target from Georgia and Mayers is good weapon

                  I think the best TE, maybe player, I saw in college football this year was Brock Bowers. He was a sophomore He is going to be a difference maker
                  bowers looks like a kelce clone…

We sure could use another TE because McKitty isn't much of a receiver and Parham seems like an accident waiting to happen.
                    Maybe we should all start thinking about a TE prospect while we watch college basketball.
                    mckitty is looking like a bust…the blocking hasn’t been as advertised and he’s been a non factor as a receiver, he needs to put in work with herbert in the offseason, it doesn’t seem like herbert trusts the guy…

                      The cap money for players has a mandated minimum that they have to spend, coaching, trainers, etc. those expenses have no minimum…I’m trying to remember if the spanos have ever paid too dollar for a coach…

                        I think Nieman has been one of our better STs players, he’s fast as hell, like a larger safety tho, his body doesn’t look like he can take the pounding at linebacker, it’ll be interesting to see if they pass on signing tranquill if nick will get his shot…it’s telling that undrafted ogbongbemiga has seen more snaps on defense since both him and nick arrived in the 2021 draft/offseason…amen might be the guy that gets the nod this year in place of tranquill but nick is a much faster more athletic player…

                          Love that guy but he is a true Sophomore, will likely be in the 2024 draft.

                          Pupunu was not elite.
