Is this #SIIE worthy even though I love Ronnie?

there's clearly stuff cooking - i dont think anything imminent but his tone suggested he was confident that we'd be adding at least 1 more guy soon - basically sounds like we've got lots of deals out with agents for guys we want and we'll just see what lands and what comes to us
the pending nature of them though makes me feel like these arent just low-level vet minimum re-signings (because they wont affect cap and EDC was specifically made reference to our ability to continue to spend)
also just want to point out that this is the first season since EDC took over that he's had any cap flexibility at all and look at how he's working his magic lol
Sounded like there were some travel issues this morning but he’s in the building so would imagine it’s coming soon
Not gonna lie.. i am. Bowser too
I think it depends on how Stanley performed.

Man it's crazy how like 5 years ago I didn't expect much in free agency - maybe like a solid vet plus re-signing our own guys and that was it - and now after signing a top 5 safety who is young, an amazing pass rusher, and a starting RT, it's not inconceivable to think we might add a starting center or Wagner or a key piece on the defensive line. Shit's crazy dude. I love EDC's aggressiveness

I mean weren't there reports that in camp Hayes looked farther along that Oweh? Obviously camp isn't everything but ya know. People were excited about Hayes
i think this is them reaping the rewards for not going crazy with the void year mechanics that most other teams have used - they were disciplined in 2020 and 2021 with the lower cap and it's put us in great position as the cap moves back to it's pre-covid trajectory - also i imagine they're very comfortable with it for the same reason that lots of players are favouring 3 years or fewer deals at the moment because there's expected to be a big bump in tv money to hit in the next couple of years that should impact the cap and subsequently increase salaries
I'm definitely not sleeping on Bowser, when he comes back and has his legs back, but Hayes I'm sure we all are in the same boat. I would have loved to see how he would have performed.
Gonna blow and create more impatience if we go back to our routine next year though lol

Not my first choice but I don't think the guys I want will be there at 14 and Davis isn't a bad consolation prize at all - if you can even call him that lol. We're spoiled

Would this really be that bad? It would basically mean Madubuike Oweh and Z have one on one matchups very often
i like him a lot - but it's a little frustrating for him that part of his issue in college was that he couldnt stay healthy and now lost basically his entire rookie year to injury too
i definitely think we shouldnt count him out - still think he's probably ahead of ferguson already at this point and he's got a big chance to carve out a role as a SAM if he's healthy through this offseason with Tyus likely shelved for most of the offseason work with his injury recovery
i think he's a decent athlete with bend and some moves - i think daelin's definitely got a chance but it's crucial for him that he stays healthy or he'll just get lost in the shuffle
yep of the somewhat realistic options (although i dont think JJ or Sauce are really that realistic at this point) that's how id rank them too

If we do it means folks stayed healthy and we had a solid '22 draft lol. I won't be too mad. It might be the case though since we're gonna have to spend a lot on Lamar. The other two priorities will be MP and Hollywood. The rest of our UFA's are literally all depth pieces though besides Koch

Would be terrible if he became Iman Marshall
