Very cool.

I think both had a similar year last year, but I'd still much prefer Brown. One year doesn't really do much for me. This was Pierce's best year and a pretty down year for Brown.

I don't think I'd go after either one, but it really depends on the cost.

If I'm doing the math right, Brown's cap hit will be about $14.8 million if he's traded because Philly eats the portion of the prorated signing bonus. If you include Q in a trade for him, that saves another $2.7 million off the cap. So you're looking at around a $12 million cap hit for AJ Brown. I'd imagine Pierce will sign for about twice that much and count against the comp pick formula. Pierce won't cost a premium pick, though. However, half the benefit of a draft pick is the cap savings. If you are saving $12 M a year on the cap for a superior player, you can spend that money elsewhere to make up for the lost pick.

I am happy about Biadasz. As soon at Washington cut him, I liked the idea of him being a smart reasonable signing. Mission accomplished.

Now I want Vera-Tucker for RG. His age and talent I can't resist and he should come at another reasonable price. I know about the injury risk, that is why we draft a guard on day 2 to develop and back him up. If Vera-Tucker's injury luck turns around, he is only 26, then you have a home run, a really talented guard. He might like to come back to California.

Just have to think about LG..I could live with Zion if price isn't dumb.

Maybe as depth?

But they will be able to gel so fast.


LOL. I don't even think Paul is a scheme fit.
We are looking at Ben Cleveland and Branson Taylor right now.
Stay tuned.

BTW, Zierlein indicated in his draft analysis of Taylor that he has timing and athleticism to do work at the second level. That's almost zone.

Oh and get Ingold done this weekend before Monday Joe! Ingold in...Matlock out

I like the extensions for Patterson and Williamson. Patterson has good burst and could be a weapon in McD's offense. Kendall is a good St'er and back up safety. Solid depth guys

Agree!!!

Jags are expected to move on from WR Brian Thomas Jr. another good WR that will be available.

Idk what happened to that guy
Had a good rookie year and did a 180. Many drops and whatever else was going on. That's a quick hook whatever it is.

[Boltjolt]

I think initially they hand intentions for Linderbaum, but the competition for him caused his price became so high that when Biadasz suddenly became available Hortiz pivoted and pounced right away. We do have to ask ourselves why the Commanders released him, they had him under contract for less money than the Chargers are paying him.

That's what their fans are wondering on X. WHY did they release him.... They thought he was solid though not the best run blocker. But he is better than Bozeman there too

Yeah, I have no idea either. Rather have Shaheed if they target a WR in free agency. Just say something that the Chargers are monitoring Tyrek Hills medical, so who knows.
