NFL offseason 2025

[calia]

I'd rather have Terry that DK -- he's older, but a better leader and equally effective. And I imagine that with a better WR2 this year for the first time since he's been here, a better OL, and another year of experience for JD5, he could really light it up.

I really hope this gets done and soon.

I would also prefer Terry over DK. It's not Peters fault though that Pittsburgh overpaid for him. Keim is saying now 28 million annually is max offer for Terry. He's likely to reject. Frustrating situation.

Here's to Jaylin Lane becoming the new McLaurin. At this point, if 28 million is the max offer, just go ahead and trade him. He isn't going to accept that and can't really blame him. That seems like a pretty mid-offer for a great player and teammate. Hopefully recoup a pick or 2 that we lost in the Tunsil/Deebo trades.

Why do that? Why not have him play out on his current contract? He's not going to hold out the season -- that would be really unwise, especially because we could franchise him too. He has one more shot at a big contract, short of a trade, and it is with us. Why not offer $28M/yr plus some added money if certain milestones are reached (e.g., >12 tds, >1300 yards), stuff that is not out of reach but would be pretty hard to do (at least more than once), and if he achieved those numbers he'd certainly have earned it. It can be $28M/yr x 3 yrs with $65M guaranteed and possible going up to $33M/yr with incentives.

Obviously, I don't do this for a living so maybe it's entirely unrealistic, but it seems like there's got to be some way to bridge the gap.

Football players are humans. The other 52 players don't want to constantly have to talk about this. And if he holds out, that will 100% be the 1st or 2nd question regardless of situation. It's a distraction. And if Peters' line is 28 and McLaurin wants more than 30, it's no longer a negotiation.

We could start out 5-0 without McLaurin, and the 1st question would be about Jayden or Terry. The 2nd question will absolutely be about whatever wasn't question 1.

I think AP probably has 2 things in mind.
1) he thinks TM is 25-28$mill/y, which is probably fair value.
2) he doesn't want to get stuck paying $30m for a 500yard receiving year

If we have TM play out and franchise, that's ~18.5m (3m paid and 15.5m left)/28m, and no dead money into Terry's 32 year old season (i.e. it seems like AP/the team get everything they want at 23m/year). If he holds out, he's burning big money and any shot of a big deal. I just don't see a reason for the team to move.

They are to far apart. There will be no deal. We have him by the balls and he will come in and then go elsewhere in 26.

i don't see him turning down over 50M in guaranteed money. That would be stupid and Terry isn't stupid. Playing out this contract risks an injury that ends his career or greatly diminishes his value at age 31.

The one proviso to that is if he could by an injury insurance policy with a substantial benefit. With his spotless record that might be an option.

I get so fucking pissed seeing Brandon McManus making kicks for Green Bay. Think our kicker this year will be a problem, dude can’t kick beyond 50

[WCommandersfan99]

Shadeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart impressed over the weekend for rookie qbs. Sanders was pretty accurate on a lot of his passes. He averaged around 72% completion rate at CU. Dart can just sling it. I was high on this kid in college and think he could be a solid pro. Doubt we see him week 1 though. Heard Ewers struggled. Know he was ticked about dropping to 7th rd.

The injury bug is already being felt across the league. It almost seems like it gets worse every year for teams. Chargers recently had a significant one losing Rashawn Slater for the year:

Classic Bengals. Hendrickson is a sack machine at 30 years old. He could have at least 5 more great years. Maybe more. Not happy about this if I'm a Cincy fan. Chase and Burrow cannot do everything for this team.

Going to be very steep.
