Trade with Panthers being reported

I'm gonna try to inject some logic here.  I'm sure it won't sink in but I'm gonna try.

David, we just traded for a #1 WR.  That's what Moore is.  He may not be your beloved Hopkins but he's a #1 (who out-gained DHop each of the last 2 seasons and is much younger and cheaper).  Mooney is gonna get paid this summer.  Claypool will play our 2023 and then we will see if he stays or goes.  That's a solid 1-2-3 there.  Velus and EQ are 4 & 5.

You're going to be very disappointed if you think we are drafting another WR at pick9 of the draft.  I'd be stunned if they did that at this point.  It's highly unlikely.  I think they WILL draft another one (guy will compete with Velus as a reserve) but not until round 3 at the earliest.  This draft has some good edge talent thankfully, much better than the WR talent IMO, we need edge rushers badly, and those guys aren't available in FA very often.  You have to draft them high.

DE should be the #1 target at pick9 if there's a guy there thy like and I think there will be.  

I notice how you loooooooovvveee moving the goalposts.  You said you wanted a #1 WR to help Fields and you said you wanted a "Trey Lance deal" to move out of the top-5.  YOU GOT BOTH.  You don't get to move the goalposts now and suddenly say that isn't enough without spending a 1st and a 2nd in the draft.  That's what you wanted!

Im pretty sure he was thinking Oline and Dline together, and I think we better !

Average $15M. 15x5=$75M.  He can afford that.

No, we can't.  You're not counting extensions for existing players, signing the draft class, etc.  Besides I'm sure he'd like to carry over some money for when he has to pay Fields

Brown would cost north of 20.  The other RTs prob 16-18 range.  If you're including DLs here, Dremont Jones will likely cost 18+.

Poles has already said he wants to be cautious in FA.  As he should be.  It's easy to spend like a drunken sailor and regret it a year later.
