The fact we have 2 first time coordinators and DQ is somewhat on the hot seat; that could be a reason.

WR we know we are signing Ayiuk when he’s released.

I worry that folks are overreacting to all of this. Doubs just went to a team that made the Superbowl with a QB who could easily have been the 2025 MVP (indeed, lost by a few votes). Oh, and a team that has been the the Superbowl 9 times since we last made it (and won 6). So this shouldn't surprise anyone. It's not like he went to the Browns or Jets over us.

Obviously, there more work to do on the roster, and there will be more activity to come. The Colts overpaid for Pierce (in my view) and we lost out on Doubs to a franchise that most guys would be happy to play for. There are other WRs out there (not to mention other positions), and we'll have other opportunities. Candidly, I was more bummed out that the two LB candidates I liked -- Walker and Dean -- both ended up with the Raiders (not a great franchise), but I have no idea whether we made a run at them.
