Mar 15, 2023Leighton Vander EschOLB Re-signed Two-year extension (through 2024)
Mar 15, 2023Ezekiel ElliottRB Cut
Mar 15, 2023Stephon GilmoreCB Traded for 2023 5th-round pick
Mar 14, 2023Donovan WilsonDB Re-signed Three-year extension (through 2025)
Mar 6, 2023Tony PollardRB Designated franchise player non-exclusive franchise tag

They were able to keep their top 2 FA’s in LVE and Wilson. Got rid of a bad contract in Zeke. Traded for a position of need in Gilmore. Restructured several contracts and currently have over 16 million in cap space for future trades or signings. And don’t forget getting rid of Moore and keeping Quinn.

And I believe, more to come.

That we are. I'm liking the moves so far and/or the logic behind them. Hope we can continue this.

At this point I'm pleasantly surprised- still need a lot of work but very positive start for sure.

I was very critical coming in and they have really shown they are thinking diffently...I have more hope than I did a week ago

So.. now that Zeke’s gone. Who’s his replacement?

And don’t say Pollard. Yes Pollard is the top RB now.. but we need a 2nd back in todays NFL and I don’t think Dowdle or Davis is the answer. ( Preferably a big back, imo)

Drafting one is prob the best option.. but what RD? And who exactly?

I don’t think it would happen, but I’d love to have Damien Harris. He’s a stout back that still has burst

a donkey could replace Zeke.

Good start so far. Get Wagner, and anything else is a bonus. Draft a DT/WR maybe even a TE depending on what happens with Schultz.

Probably a FA and a draft pick.

Interesting they trade for a corner and they were 8th in the league in passing yards per game last year, against the run they were 22nd.

The Gilmore trade was solid, but you would have thought a run stuffer would have been priority one, although I’m sure there are more deals in the works.
