Considering just about every single player on our roster is injury prone it wouldn't kill us that bad to let go of a guy to replace him with a more reliable an healthy guy. Deebo an bosa are both huge contributors when on the field but staying on the field is their problem. I think this roster has taught us we're better off with "good" talent that can play 17 games a season compared to "great" talent that can only give us 12 games a season.

Not going to happen unless they want out. Caps exploding next couple years. We will sign them easily.

1. We're not going to be tight against the cap going forward, we can afford Deebo, Bosa & Aiyuk on new deals, 2. Not every player is injury prone on our roster, I mean if getting hurt once makes you that, than the entire NFL is injury prone, and 3. You don't let guys like Bosa, Deebo, & Aiyuk walk.

going with the most recent big trade, we will probably trade bosa and draft his replacement and give a big payday to dee ford.

Said it before that Juszczyk is a luxury as a top paid fullback in the league. He is fantastic but if he only gets 1 or no targets a game then he's not being used enough. Everytime he touches the ball he either shows nice hands or agility or high ability. They can simply go with a cheap blocking option and that's what I think will happen.

Eventually (in a season or two) they will need to pay for good CBs, O- linemen, WRs and if Lance turns out to be good him too. Every team gets hurt by big money contracts, it's inevitable.

As for Deebo and Bosa give Bosa his money but hold off on Deebo but that's just me.

Juice is more than a guy who gets the ball 1 or more times, he makes the run game go, he isn't going anywhere any time soon. TNA cap will go up, -lus his cap numbers are very manageable

Not happening, plus the most recent big deal was for Trent Williams, ended with a 6yr deal for $23.03m a yr, Bosa, Deebo, & Aiyuk, imo, will be extended.

More than 1 time? Definitely will keep a tally of how many touches he gets going forward.

The cap will go up but it makes sense to understand that when that happens guys will demand more because they and their agents know there's money available.

Whether they're worth it or not it depends but that's somewhat how inflation might work.

So you think when the cap goes up Juice will want a new deal? Lmao.

What's so funny? You're obviously confused or not comprehending what you're reading. Not Jusczyck who has a contract. Again not Jusczyck. But, free agent guys and their agents who will want more money, more of the money that's available if the cap goes up. I mean who wouldn't. I hope this helps you.

Quick question though: Where did I mention Jusczyck wanting a new deal? Please show me.

AB,

How would we fair when the cap goes up next season if we actually kept JG on the roster? Not saying this is what I want but I've heard that keeping him for another year is a possibility.
We have tried for decades to get quality players. We finally get quality players like Kittle, Samuel, and Bosa, and people talk about trading them or taking a wait and see approach to paying them.

With that said, it's great that we have so many top-10 players at their position. I am interested in seeing how the cap is managed to keep them all. Probably isn't realistic but we'll see.

I think we have to pay these guys, I don't see a lot of talent coming from the college ranks any time soon.

We are definitely paying those guys. Its a group you can make a run with.

Too add, with better health and quality QBing, I'd put our roster against most of the NFL. We definitely can make a run with our group.

we are injury prone. ok saying every single player on our roster is injury prone is an exaggeration lol, but not by much. its been proven, repeated every season an documented. we even now have measureables comparing our rosters health an condition compared to the rest of the NFL. its become a running joke every nfl season now. we are injury prone theres no denying it. and its not just "bad luck" or by chance, its due to incorrect decisions and mistakes by our FO. all correctable.

i think lynch an shanny proved with their moves so far their not afraid to take big risks an let big players go. before bosa came along buckner was our best player on D. they traded him in the name of saving money. im saying dont be surprised if the same happens with bosa or deebo or kittle or someone else big. its going to be real tough to afford all those guys, pay for draft picks, and sign the eventual big FA CB we are going to need if we want to make our secondary actually decent( we have no high draft pick for years to do that with). if the caps going up big time great, that will help us alot. but i think we have alot more talent on our roster than the cap can afford. look at how we have the leagues deepest DL again. we are not going to be able to afford all those guys + the rest of the roster forever.

i can totally see them not signing one of those big guys and/or trading away someone like kittle or deebo to reaqcuire draft picks or players. yes you shouldnt let players like that walk, but same could be said for buckner. unfortauntely they are still a moneyball FO and the buckner trade proves they are not married to the idea of keeping the teams core players together over saving money. did they learn from that mistake? maybe, but what wev seen so far with the injury an conditioning problem has proven they either dont learn from mistakes or take way too long to learn from them.
AB, with a Jimmy move, you can't have Sudfield as your number two. How much is a solid vet going to cost? Is that a 5-7 million dollar cap figure?

We are definitely injury prone, but I think our season ending guys have GOT to be skewing our numbers. Guys like Verrett, Hurd, McKinnon, Ford, Jimmy, Mostert, Samuel, McGlinchey, and Bosa with the season enders or guys that have missed 8+ games, and then you have the bolded doing it in more than one season.

They swapped the medical staffs, but I'd like for them to have an independent audit. This just doesn't add up.
