2025 NFL Offseason Thread

They really could’ve flipped Chase for a bevy of picks and draft 5 rookie WR to try to replace the 1

Puka Nacua was like a 4th rounder wasn’t he? Talent can be had in later rounds with a good scouting team.

You dont trade a dominant WR like Chase, in his prime. Never!!

Burrow needs the skill position talent though. All the QBs do to actually win the Super Bowl.

No QB in the modern era has won a Super Bowl with bullshyt to throw to......and before some of y'all bring up Pat he had still prime Kelce as his primary threat with actual competent WRs to throw to when they beat the 49ers.....and Brady had Gronk and Edelman, personally I think both of them should be in the hall.

Edelman aint no damn Hall of Famer!! Not even close! He never even made a single Pro Bowl. Guys like Rod Smith and Keenan McCardell were better receivers and wont sniff the HOF. As is Gary Clark, Henry Ellard, Chad Johnson, Torry ****, Jimmy Smith, Anquan Boldin etc..

What’s the “modern” era?

Also Do you need your 2nd best pass catcher to make more than most number 1 Wrs and your third best pass catcher to make 12 million a year?

If they aren’t far and away the best offense next year, like Historically great someone in this group is overrated

Burrow is. He is Philip Rivers with a fluke SB loss. You give the real big boys at QB, Chase and Higgins and they win 11 games, at minimum. Doesnt matter how bad the defense is.

The bengals strategy seems to be to go all in on offense and pray that a new DC, rookies in the draft, and cheap free agents turn their defensive fortune around. Remember they are gonna trade their best defensive player in Trey.

Like Mike Giseki is gonna be their third target on offense and he’s gonna make 12 million this year. That’s kinda absurd, especially when you know the number 2 guy is gonna get paid well over 20 million a year and the number one is gonna make 40.

With the amount of money they are eating up, this offense is gonna have to be the 2013 Broncos to justify this.

They trying to "Jerry Jones it"

Somebody gotta explain the Kupp deal to me. He got next to no separation last season. How does that translate to success on a new team with a shytty o-line where Darnold will constantly be running around lol.

Kyle Shanahan

Mason was your best RB last year and he benched him to force Mccafrey until he got injured

Coaching malpractice he’ll do better with us and without that dumbass coach

 

[jetflyinglimousineriding]

Don't know whether these moves by Minny is setup to try and make a run next year with A-Rod since most of the deals are backloaded where they could have ~$25M of cap space to use for him

Breh, this is the worst way to criticize a QB.
Not only is the defense ass, but the oline is ass too.
Joe balled the fukk out! It’s not his fault that he got a Ferrari parked outside of a rundown shack.

Just a shytty culture plus that nerd analytics shyt running rampant. On one hand they believed in elite RB talent enough to give up major assets to trade for CMC. On the other hand they've decided that simply picking an RB in the 5th round is good enough beyond that. While also risking CMC being run into the ground while injured lol. This draft is full of really good RBs you can take in the 2nd-4th round (just like last year) but they're gonna deliberately wait until late on day 3 because some white nerd said that's how you should value RBs.

nothing that kyle shanahan does involves analytics lol
kyle shanahan has repeatedly taken rbs in the third round who have failed

and hes also old school conservative in game situations and never goes for it even when analytics give 90%+ chance of going for it.

I wish hed sometimes follow analytics but dude is as old school as his dad

He had a bad defense, one season..lets not act like this is microcosm of his career. His previous two healthy seasons(2021/2022), he had the 13th ranked defense and the 6th ranked defense. Had a chance to win the final game.of.both seasons. Win or tie on last drive of SB56. Couldnt do it. Had a chance to beat KC, in a tie game at the beginning of the 4th qtr. Couldnt produce a point. This season, he blew both Ravens games at the end, also he fumbled away the KC game.

While I do think Burrow is a hell of a QB it also gets elevated by those weapons too. So many of the big games are where Chase takes an ordinary play and just breaks it for a huge score or Higgins pulling down contested catches. It makes it hard to truly judge Burrow due to that.

Guerendo has too much juice to ride the pine for Mason, was obvious as soon as he got touches last season.

He has to be the one getting fed in whatever load management role they plan for CMC.
