Yeah, if you got 4-5 guys you like at 15, trade back Looks like he may not want to go below 19-21 though.

Anyone have link to whole pressure, I came in on the 19-21 players on the board. Not sure what I missed before that. I thought he said he though WRs were 19-21 deep. What happens when you turn on mid answer

Even doubled down on it with next question. Sounds like Ogletree will be back as well. Solid press conference.

Really enjoyed that presser, might of missed first couple minutes will need to double back.

Definitely think Puni will go in round 3, his stock has been rising.

Puni or Jackson

I think the only answer is trade back. Question is "most likely". I'm sure if there was betting odds on it(there might be?), the odds would favor trading back. Now, that doesn't mean that's what will happen, but I think the odds would be in favor of trading back.

Latest update not encouraging? Where's that at? Wasn't in that article. Everything I have seen, has shown some athleticism has already started to come back. I posted a couple rehab videos somewhere a month ago or so. He is already dunking and looked very quick on take off and on his straight line running. Can't remember if there was a change of direction in the the video but I think there was that as well. Saying that, I think we still bring in a CB, but everything I have seen has been encouraging in regards to rehab.

Trade back with Philly, since Isaiah Rodgers suspension wasn't lifted with the other guys today. Whatever that's about? Maybe the league looked at how the NBA handled Porter's gambling and are reevaluating Rodgers? Idk, probably not but seems weird he didn't get removed from suspension list. They might need to come up and get a CB. Thoughts I heard something about Jaguars trading up. Turned out to be just a bunch of hot air. Sorry, couldn't help myself. Lol.

For all those on the Adonai Mitchell train. @chad72posted this in the NFL draft section https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/steelers-possible-draft-target-adonai-mitchell-gets-exposed-by-scouts-for-attitude-and-health-concerns-he-s-rude-he-s-abrasive/ar-BB1lOsjW?ocid=entnewsntp&pc=U531&cvid=5baf893246f047e1a46edd25c851c1f7&ei=24

Not sure what it means, but NFL reinstated (5) guys for gambling. Rodgers wasn't 1 of them. https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/2024/04/18/eagles-news-nfl-reinstates-players-isaiah-rodgers-suspended-quintez-cephus-cj-moore-shaka-toney/

Seems as if the NFL is getting around to clearing the books, hopefully we have an answer in next couple days. They just ruled that they didn't have enough evidence to suspend Zay Flowers in his domestic case. https://nfltraderumors.co/nfl-finds-insufficient-evidence-to-suspend-ravens-wr-zay-flowers/ I'm anticipating the same with Ogletree. Police just decided not to bring charges, Ogletree's was dropped with prejudice.

Appreciate it, but that's not needed. Now if we wouldn't of pushed money forward, I would of definitely gave you'll props, because I think that would of been a much harder prediction than mine. I was pretty confident we were going to, didn't see it as a big projection or anything. Was surprised had how much, that's for sure though.

Pretty sure she was already with NIL deals, but yeah, she is doing ok for herself. Yeah those were ridiculous, sexist remarks.(Talking about her looks). As far as Doyle, no I didn't see that. Not too surprising really, only thing that surprises me with Doyle, is that he still has a job.

I'm taking Caleb Williams. I have a USC bias, but I think even if I didn't have that, I would still take him. I guess I will give my #2, probably go with McCarthy second. Williams McCarthy Maye Daniels

Pretty much anyone is able to go on the practice squad these days.

We're at (75) IF Dabo still has his exemption. Still not 100% sure, but Spotrac updated it that way today Either way it's tight though. Thomas definitely makes it to camp, when I say cost their roster spot, I just mean final 53. Even if we bring in a vet, like I said there could be an injury that throws it all up in the air.

Read this early, and couldn't decide if I thought it was poorly written or not. When he says the bolded part it makes it seem as there is no money saved against the cap this year. He has no mention of $14.4m in cap savings this year. I think it was written poorly, but that's seems to be standard procedure with Florio. Buckner still gets $20.25m in cash this year, but the cap hit doesn't remain the same.

All it is for all of us. Yeah, I think we've been on the same page when it comes to Buckner and an extension for quite a while now. Also only so many spots, so if we were to bring in another vet safety, it likely means moving on from Thomas. Which at the end of the day, I'm ok with, as long as there is a vet upgrade. Don't see Cross, Scott or Blackmon going anywhere this year. Of course, saying that, it all depends on injuries as well never know how off-season programs and camp will pay out. Definitely more than I anticipated as well. Like you brought up originally though, this was last chance to use Buckner's contract for this purpose.

Yeah moving up on the draft isn't going to effect us too much. Like you said $3-$4m more if we moved into top 5. So would have us around $6-$6.5m in draft picks(top 51), unless we moved our 2nd also, which would drop it down to $5-$5.5m. That combined with practice squad funds $2.5m-$3m. We would still be looking at around $19m or so in space As it is now, $2.8m for draft picks, $2.5m for Practice Squad and we would still be sitting at $22-$23m. When we go back to 53, I don't anticipate too much of a swing as there will be players above the top 51 dropping off, so I anticipate it being a close to a wash. Especially looking at who is below the line now.

I think we are on the same side here? Yeah it has to suck playing CB, even more so in Gus's scheme. Hopefully he becomes a little less stubborn and becomes a little more unpredictable this season.

I agree, probably isn't anything in the works now(as far as a deal close). It is a flexibility thing, and gives us a lot of it. This is the only opportunity, which you just posted about and even posted about earlier today, to take advantage of Buckner's contract, in regards to having more money, not just this year, but next year as well. When talking about stealing from 2027 to help 2025. There is other options though, once next year comes, just not with Buckner's contract, to steal from 2027 cap I still don't think they cleared $14.4m extra to carry it all over. I imagine they've had talks with guys they have considered offering a deal to, or potential trade options, and will see how it plays out at the draft. Then move forward. Like I said, I was just saying I wasn't buying Holder's take on it. Might be what happens, but I wasn't buying it then and still skeptical about it. Maybe saying it didn't make sense was the wrong phrase, Ill own that. Either way as I've said the whole thread, there is no issues with pushing money to the future for flexibility now and Buckner's contract was the easiest and has the least negative impact in the future. This move was clearly made with the intention of capitalizing on that 2027 cap space this year or next. I for one am hoping it will be a small/medium splash this year. Then still carry over $10m+ next year.

That wasn't it either, at least for me. Whether we use it all now or not, doesn't really matter. As it can rollover and help us next year, whatever portion we don't use will just rollover. And what else I was about to say, which Superman just posted about, is, we won't be able to capitalize on Buckner's contract again, to where it could help with some cap space next year.

Playing devil's advocate for a moment. Wouldn't that make it that much more important, to have top end talent at the position? Not that it's guaranteed to have top end talent with a 1st round CB, or any other position, or round? I hear you though, just playing devil's advocate.
