Love that they're bringing back Dyami. He and JD seemed to be having some good chemistry late in the 24 season.

I'd pass on Aiyuk. I didn't even realize that he didn't even play last year. No thanks. We don't even know if he is healthy and can run and is explosive. Way too many red flags with that guy.

Spooky. Just a couple of hours ago I checked to see if Dyami had signed with anyone else just to see if he might be a viable option. I like it.

I can see us taking Tate at 7 as well

If we take Tate over Downs or Styles if they’re available (or Bain), I’d be surprised.

Well yeah, its all ifs and buts isn't it depending on who is available. I'm just saying I'm now not ruling out us taking WR at 7 whereas up until FA I was adamant it was D all the way. I'm actually impressed with what they've done in FA so far, having had a bad feeling that AP was going to fuck it up.

Jefferson and Brown really ups our WR depth. We still need a legit #2 to go with Terry but I really like those two moves.

I am kinda meh about them. We have Jaylin Lane and Like McCaffrey too, and the numbers on Brown and Jefferson don't suggest that they're likely to be significant upgrades over them (although they're admittedly different kinds of WRs -- outside the hashes/speed guys). Obviously, after last season, we need more depth so that we don't end up signing guys off the street again, and I am all for competition for WR slots 3-6 (assuming we go with 6; Scary #1 and our #2 not yet on the team) as between these 4 and anyone else we sign. It does make me think they're going to target Aiyuk as the #2 whenever the 9ers release him.

Personally, I'd have rather have had Jennings and/or Samuel than both of these guys.

Oh, and are we going to re-sign Chris Paul or what? I'm surprised he hasn't been signed yet (by someone).

[calia]

We just re-signed Chris Paul. Excellent. I'll shamelessly (and undeservedly) take credit since it happened minutes after my post.

Looks like the deal with Dyami Brown was for 1 year at $3M. He had a 1 year, 10$M deal with Jax least season, so quite a discount for us by waiting a year (although Jax obviously overpaid).

You just had a spooky Chris Paul moment like my Dyami Brown one. I like it a lot!

Love the Paul signing.
Good job Calia

I like the chris Paul signing, I'd live if they could teach him how to be a center

Thanks, Punch! As many of my law firm partners have observed, my real skills lie outside of the law. ; )

Seriously, very happy about this signing. It's nice recognition for a guy who clearly put int he work to get on the field and made the most of it.

[skinsnut]

I think Brown is a stretch the field placeholder until we sign a better guy that does the same. He kinda isn't great, I have no idea who the other guy is, you'd probably do better with a udfa, who knows.

[skinsnut]

I think we also need a placeholder tall perimeter CB until we find someone better

[calia]

Center. We need a center. Not much there in the FA market at this point.
