Man he's had 8 surgeries in 7 years. I wouldn't give up a first. He'll be 29 in a few months.

Raiders were dumb to not trade him in 2024 but that's why the Raiders are trash

I was right about Crosby. He's physically breaking down. Raiders are a stupid franchise

Id do a 2nd and future 3rd

Not many teams can fit that kind of contract easily. Raiders have to trade him to sign all their FAs

His health has to be a major issue to blow up a trade like that. Wonder why the Raiders renewed his deal?

Lions are done as a contender, let's be honest. If there was an opening, it was making major moves in free agency.

They don’t have the cap space for that.

Shocked Goff hasn’t been restructured. They might just be leaving themselves with an out after 2027 if they don’t get superbowl with Goff

They play a last place schedule. GB has lost alot of talent and Parsons is hurt and will miss chunk of next season. Vikings are in cap hell and have no QB. Bears are still spending but lost their starting C and traded away DJ Moore. Caleb contract extension looming

Lions primary issues are health related. We have no clue what condition Kerby and Laporta are in. Alim should be better second year after ACL. No clue what to expect from Rakestraw but he was a second rd pick that should finally see field. Branch should be back for end of season run.

Oline should be much improved with the old guys replaced. Should be natural progression from Ratledge, Mahogany, Frazier, Arnold, Teslaa, Tyleik. They have this year's draft also.

Win the division and see what happens.

He's not good at that. Hunt was the short yardage and goal line back. You're going to have to use Gibbs in those situations.

There's a reason Mahomes was leading the team in rushing even though the Chiefs were seeing the lightest boxes in the league.

Chiefs line was probably worse than Lions last year. Can’t say he can’t do it if not given opportunity. If lions line returns to form. Pacheco stylistically is great complement to Gibbs. His contract is bargain basement

Goff restructured his contract. It cleared 32M in cap space

 

[djthegreat88]

Wth is Holmes doing? We have one edge on roster

 

[Detroit Wave]

we finna be so ass next year

There's no reason to believe the Oline will be dominant again. They'll most likely be the same or slightly better. They might still be a winning team and make the playoffs but there's no reason to think this is a Super Bowl contender anymore.

The defense is decent at best, the offense is not dominant anymore with a mid level Oline that doesn't look much improved.

They had a top 5 offense with a bad oline. Decker was playing with one arm and Glasgow was completely washed. Young guys should improve and Mays is solid. Offense will be elite if Petzing can call plays

"We're good with the guys we have."

 

[winb83]

Some of yall are getting ahead of yourselves. Let the team come together first before ranking them. We still don't know how things will play out but the bones of what they have are solid.
