You think they don't like Bell? Seems there's a place for a veteran backup still depending on what Hill's role is.

Always a good reminder to remember why these guys are available. For guys like Moss and Stone it's that they are good but they are backups. For Nijman they don't have a stud.

I assume in that case Bell is the backup.

I assume he'd get substantially more.

Could bring back Bell with that cash.

Nijman played 555 snaps at RT in 2022

How would you feel about Nijman and Adam Butler? That's probably where we end up. Keep Reader...Draft a RT Rd 1, DT Rd 2

I really do think half the fans don't pay any attention. The team has said....all the way to Burrow that they want more explosiveness. Mixon was cooked in that area. His advanced stats showed he basically got what was blocked and broke no tackles. Moss on the other hand was not...he got more than what is blocked and was far more elusive. There is no such thing as a bridge player at RB really in the sense you are talking about it. Moss got a 2 year deal because they don't want anything to do with a RB beyond that age and mileage. It wouldn't surprise me if they drafted a RB but they certainly won't be drafting the RB of the future and Moss won't be a bridge to them. They will roll with Moss-Brown for the next 2 years with Williams and a Rookie maybe contributing. Mixon might get more yards because he might be the primary back in Houston. It's very unlikely he will have more explosive plays then Brown or Moss.

He has Gilliken on the list...he'd be an upgrade.

Alot of twitter is freaking out about DT being such a big hole and us not signing anyone. Once again I think it's just patience. The contracts signed, other than Malcolm Roach have been dumb. We are looking for what essentially is a player in a 3 man rotation of Hill-Rookie-Free Agent. There are a dozen guys left who can do that well. There are some guys who can play nose....but no one anywhere close to Reader. I hope he never gets on the plane to Detroit. 3Ts available 1-Armstead 2-Rankins 3-Joseph-Day 4-Hand-Dolphins 5-Watts-Stealers 6-Tillery 7-Urban 8-Butler-Raiders 9-Poona Ford 10-Taven Bryan 11-DeShawn Williams Nose 1-John Jenkins 2-Tart 3-Mone 4-Purcell

Love it. I view him as a replacement for Jones who is replacing Boyd and a replacement for Irv Smith....who sucks at sports. He is a fantastic backup TE and slot who might start at TE technically.

Zach Moss is not a 3rd down back.

I said it months ago. Literally was my first post about RBs

There is a RB in this class that played WR up until last year, Tyrone Tracy of Purdue. Imagine you add him. You run out with Chase-Can play Outside or Slot Jones-Played mostly outside in college but is now playing slot Gesicki-Plays slot mostly but can play inline and has played 20% outside in his career Sample-Plays mostly inline but played in the backfield last year. Tracy-Could play RB but could obviously be flexed out. Teams would have no idea what lineup was coming.

It's as if he was cut...so dead cap is there.

We pay nothing that isn't already paid. The draft pick would be league minimum and if it's conditional that might be 2025.

If you think this is funny you aren't paying attention to what matters. We all saw the difference between Mixon and Brown.

Every advanced stat says Mixon basically generated no extra yards and Moss generated a ton.

I have loved free agency Returned TE who we absolutely needed Returned a backup LB who basically give us 3 starting LBs Returned versatile backup G Returned special teamer at RB with some upside Got a FS that we needed because our other one couldn't call the plays and the LBs didn't trust him. Was making simple mistakes week 18. Got a RB that is younger and more elusive than the other RB we had and he can pass block better Got a TE/WR who I don't think solves TE but gives us another versatile weapon for this offense and I am never against those. We haven't lost a player I wanted back. We haven't overpaid for anyone. The top WR contract on the market is one that is easily doable for us and could be matched for Higgins We still have like 30 million to spend or something.

Moss is a much better runner than Mixon.

Adding LB-ADG TE-Gesicki RB-Moss S-Stone Minus Mixon

I'd probably wait this year but wouldn't be against it. You really want Moss and Brown to get the most snaps. If you draft a guy this year you are basically killing a year of his rookie contract for nothing if not 2. You do it next year that limits it.

I do love the Gesicki signing but he's not the kind of TE we like. Think Cade Stover in the 3rd. Essentially he's a rotational slot WR/TE at this point....which I think Joe Burrow will love.....and we need. You could essentially platoon Jones-Gesicki-Irwin at slot WR and just be done with it.

Joe Mixon now being traded to TExans

Depends if he will play special teams.
