    Rumors are saying Russell Wilson will take the vet minimum with his next teams since Denver owes him $39M.  I sounds like the Stealers are interested.  I really hope not.

    Of course he'll take the league minimum. If a team paid him more, it wouldn't affect him. It'd just mean less money that the Broncos had to pay. I don't think he gets to keep both salaries

    Wilson is guaranteed 39 million from the Broncos this year (subject to offset). They'll cut him before the date early in the league year where they would have to guarantee him another 35 mil for 2025. 

     

    The oddsmakers have Pittsburgh as the favorite to sign him. Wilson's floor is certainly higher than Pickett's. 

     

    George Paton should have been fired as the Denver GM after trading for Wilson, extending him on a bloated contract (which didn't even start until 2024), and hiring Paul Hackett. Sean Payton is a good coach but he's mishandled the QB he inherited. Now Denver has cap problems, are short of players on rookie deals, and need a new QB. Not good. 

    It's not that easy for Denver. They can't swallow his cap hit of $85mill if they cut him in March. It looks like Pitt was never interested in him. They're in quite a pickle

    Wilson actually played pretty well last year. He had a 26-8 TD/Int ratio. 

    You gotta look deeper than the stats. His head coach is paid to do exactly that and he wants Wilson gone. He saw the film where Wilson couldn't see the field and wide open receivers weren't seeing the ball. It'll be interesting to see if any team is interested in Russell Wilson and if so, who eats what in salary

    I read Baltimore is expecting some heavy losses in free agency.  The list includes their starting RB, both starting OG, multiple WR, and a bunch on defense, including Queen, Clowney, and Geno Stone.  They are expected to franchise Madubuike if they can’t get a deal done but otherwise don’t have much cap space.  

    I'm amazed that Baltimore didn't pick up Queen's $12mill option for 2024. He's a former 1st rd pick. Real easy to keep him around for another year

    There are two thoughts here. Staying in house allows the team to not have to completely rewrite the playbook which can slow down a team's progress. The 2nd is what you said, new fresh ideas can prevent stagnation.

     

    The question is the offense stagnant? I'm not sure I believe it is, so I think Pitcher makes the most sense.

     

    But yes, it's not the end of the world if he leaves.

    I think the offense can use a refresher. Have you noticed how our offense looks vs our rivals in the division? It seems like they know exactly what we're doing. No separation for the receivers

    No way. Picking a good WR early in the draft is almost a can’t miss proposition.  By far the easiest position to successfully draft early.  I love Tee but he isn’t worth a 7 especially since he WON’T be on a rookie contract. 

    Fine, you're looking at it from Tennessee's perspective. In regards to missing on an early WR pick, I present a name to think about: John Ross

     

    As to what a WR is worth at Tee's age in a trade: Tyreek Hill

     

    Granted Tee is not T. Hill but if Hill is worth a 1st, 2nd, 4th, 4th and 6th rd picks, Tee is easily worth a first

    I might very seriously consider that on draft day if either of the top 2 Tackles are there at 7. We could secure one and then use the 18th pick to get Tee's replacement. 

    I can't imagine the Titans would give us their top ten pick for Tee's "franchise" year...but they might give us their top ten 2nd rd pick. Would you do that?

    That isn’t how the tax code works.  You don’t get to write off a donation dollar for dollar.  

    That is absolutely the case. And if he doesn't get the charitable donation write off, he can write it off as a business expense, which it is. However Tepper is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $20 billion so you don't damage him with fines
