Yeah, Deebo has lost a step. I think it’s over for him.

Pierce or Shaheed will open up MM’s playbook.

Me too

[Fleet 1]

I think Deebo on the decline with age and injuries to be the gadget guy he once was and is not a top level downfield receiver...as much as I have always liked him

Well yeah at his age not in his prime by no means. But had shit QB play last season. In Mike McD system he would be great i think,

But again...emphasis on lower cost. He can still do damage around the LOS. Which is his bread and butter. He can still run with the best of them when the ball is in his hands. He is a bruiser in that regard.

Tons of really good WRs in this draft. With serious pace. Just assume draft one if we are in fact hot for a WR.

Guys like Deebo and Jonnu would be insane when lined up in condensed splits and using in the screen game. The idea is YAC.

2027 draft is looking STELLAR. I am really not a fan of trading 2027 picks. That will really suck later. Draft is the life blood...the Hortiz life blood

Fair enough

Plus have read Seattle has the picks to trade for him this year - he is too good for a team to not throw a pick at for. Pretty reasonable deal. Ravens if they miss out on Crosby

Draft day is the best day of the year in the football calender!! You would hate it B4K to be short picks in the loaded 2027 draft!

There are lots of edge options in FA and draft that won't cost us draft picks

I was more thinking of how does Hortiz bridge the gap if Oweh leaves and not have to rely on a draft pick. I think Mack is back so who would be a solid vet option to be Edge 3 to allow for a draft pick some time to acclimate.

[Whydachargers?]

Let me throw one at you
Jonathan Greenard is on he trade block
Good player, signed for two years, 18.3m per year, nothing guaranteed

What if you could send Minnesota a 2027 3rd round pick and maybe another pick in 2027 knowing Oweh will get you a 2027 3rd or 4th
Would you make this trade? Deal or No Deal

contingent on Greenard being healthy of course

We could really use a healthy Greenard at Edge. He's an Edge that can also play the run well. If the healing is where it needs to be following his December shoulder surgery then I would do that in a minute. Or something like that.

I don’t see any burst anymore from him. I think QJ can play Deebo better than Deebo now. Deebo is mediocre lined up in the X. All jmo, what do I know.

I have to look but off the top off my head... if Mack is back and you draft an edge...even a vet like Leonard Floyd on a 1 year 8 million deal to chip in

Same idea ....Koonce or Ossai

That is true as I think Mack + Tuli can help a third Edge like they helped Oweh.
Cam Jordan is older -- probably too similar to Mack
They need a guy with some speed to his game -- Oweh was that "bendy/twitchy" guy

I am sure Hortiz will get it done if Oweh leaves. He was quick to get Biadasz

It is the draft picks for Brown that is the problem - not the contract

I agree - if you want WR - just draft one in R1 or R2 - much cheaper

Id be shocked if it happened so I'm not anticipating it but IF they trade for AJ Brown,... id certainly think QJ will be traded to get a pick back if they aren't picking up his 5th year option.
Also been seeing they would like to bring Keenan back so somebody has to go if they do.

With QJ it would be

Brown
QJ
Harris
Ladd
KLS
Davis
(Keenan)

Sign Shaheed and cut Davis and don't sign Keenan? 🤷
