Who was playing Right Tackle last year on the play where Joe Alt had his ankle destroyed?

that stuff almost never happens, whaddayagonnado?

[Bolt4Knob]

I thought Chubb,Tua, Murray all have signed with new teams (maybe some of the others too)? NFL rules are complicated ...

Joe is at the Tellers window this morning, making a deposit ... hang tight all!

A couple things
1) the Texans are also in on Teller. Saw a post on Twitter and it was a meme of a guy standing at the counter in a bank with the word "TELLER" (to his right by way) of the person behind the counter -- so there is competition. The twitter post meaning the Texans would put Teller at RIGHT guard. tifwiw

2) Bolt Pulse guy also says the Chargers are interested in Jennings - which I think is the guy Allbright was referring too in his twitter response. That said, I doubt Hortiz will give up a 3rd round comp pick for Jennings when you can just sign Mooney and keep the comp pick

Judging Lance on a game played with offensive back ups against one of the top defenses in the league that needed the game is ridiculous

This is fair. That isn't to say I am not opposed to improving the back up QB position - -just not sure the options are better than Trey Lance. Flacco maybe. I doubt Tyrod Taylor wants anything to do with the Chargers training staff

McD said he wants an offense that has plays that all of the QBs can run

[Heatmiser]

If Bitonio doesn't retire, he might be the better one-year option IMO. I know a lot of Browns fans, they think Bitonio even at his age is still above average.

He is not just above average, he is very, very good guard. Teller is also a good guard and is only 31 vs 35 yrs old Bitonio

Against Tenn? SJD dove at his ankles. Dirty play

Bosa or Clowney make sense post draft...

I would welcome Bosa back. He wore down at the end in Buffalo ... his plays would need to be greatly limited, and then there is his injury history with the Chargers.
Prefer him to Clowney.

Flame away!

[powderblueboy]

I know it may not make people happy but I truly think Hortiz is playing the comp pick game. Right now, he has the Oweh pick as a 3rd. That is a good pick

If Salyer or Hand sign - he could possibly get a 4 or 5 for Zion since Strange or Kolar could be crossed off. Or, he could sign than sign a player of like value and keep the Oweh 3rd rounder. I really think he wants to keep that Oweh third rounder

So of your names above - Danna was released. Ebikete is interesting
I think Bosa, Miller and Uche are done.

Clowney and Cam Jordan are two names I like in that one year, under $10m range, better than Dupree but Hortiz will still need Edge in R1 or R2. He might be waiting for May 1 - the best of the rest -- because that is when the comp pick formula doesn't matter

Is there anyone out there by now worth a massive contract and a 3rd round pick?

[powderblueboy]

Don't forget the Titans for some reason. And I partially get it - you know the players. But you are also right, there are other good players out there!

Though I do like the Kolar, Ingold and Mitchell signings
Strange is tbd.

It had something to do with Minter studying that Tennessee team: him having a close affiliation with a nearby University in Tennessee as their DC.

Hortiz is super cautious ..... he wants to be GM 10 years from now: so being a steady very good team and not a sporadically great one is his aim.

[JOJAX85]

he is fast

Seems like I also heard someone else say that.

He's going to be a weapon.

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

Judging Lance on a game played with offensive back ups against one of the top defenses in the league that needed the game is ridiculous

Agree with you. It was, however, the sole data point we got on Trey Lance for the entire season. It's a data point that doesn't allow us to draw any conclusions about what Lance offers, moving forward. Any questions we had about him remain unanswered.

[Jack Burton]

Yeah, but who was the playing RT?

[Bolt4Knob]

Is there anyone out there by now worth a massive contract and a 3rd round pick?

No, I truly don't think there is a player worth giving up a 3rd when there is comparable talent.

Now I hope Hortiz can finalize Teller as that is the most important thing. But say he gets Teller, this will be his thought process

WR: Juaun Jennings or Darnell Mooney / 2027 3rd round pick -- no brainer.
Safety: say he wants to add a safety. With the current calculation Brisker woud cost a comp pick. Just bring back Unc Jefferson and call it good.

Say Salyer signs for enough to offset Strange or Kolar - that moves Zion up to a 4th round comp pick

Maybe at this point Hortiz is willing to offset Zion with Jennings. I doubt he does though.
