OTA Notes week 2

So he’s not suppose to be generous to his best players and allow them to walk? That would be incompetent.

No he is not. He is supposed to pay them fair market value. He is not supposed to over pay all of his superstars.

Not sure where you’ve been but the top players are all resetting the market. Jerry was lucky to sign CeeDee for less than Justin Jefferson. Jamar Chase just reset the market. If you don’t pay these players what they’re demanding you’ll lose them and someone else will pay them. That’s life in the NFL.

Yes, you reset first not last. Where have you been. GM Jethro signs his stars last.

Jerry's priority is signing FA's that no one wants, his stars can wait.

He wasn’t playing behind a Jason Witten. It gave him a lot more opportunity. Drafting him in the 2nd round when we had Witten never made a lot of sense, especially considering we traded Fasano who we drafted in the 2nd round.

If you go heavy 12/13 packages it could make sense. But they never went all in.

They never went all in because Bennett wasn’t what they were hoping for. They had big plans for a two TE offense to add another element to the passing game but Bennett struggled with his assignments. He couldn’t even line up correctly.
 
How can a quarterback "flash" in any practice scenario, much less one without pads?

Even if the practice was full pads, nobody is allowed to touch the QB and he knows it.

That’s easier said than done. It takes two to make a deal. Jerry’s made offers but he’s dealing with agents looking to get the best deal for their clients. From what I’ve read an offer has been made to Parsons but his agent has to agree to it.

Right. Chase is making $6 million more APY than Lamb after signing a year later. That's the market. Lamb waited until after Jefferson's deal, with his agents understanding that Jefferson would set the market.

The only problem I have with the way the Joneses do it is that they seem to extend an offer that is lower than they are ultimately willing to go because they are not in a rush. They don't seem to care if a top player misses OTAs, minicamp or even some of training camp.
 
Why do I have a suspicion that we will go gangbusters at wr this year and have multiple guys bust out ? The excitement is palpable, the renewed culture as well. It just feels like we are waking from our 20 year slumber. I say that because the last time I witnessed anything close to this was when we hired the Tuna. The vibe was real. It manifested throughout. The downfall was when we got Owens. It gradually sucked the positive vibes out of the team. We never recovered. So here we are today, getting back to basics FINALLY.
 
Btw, coaching staffs matter alot. Parcels had Sean Payton, and others that were very good. I kinda feel the staff Shotty has assembled could prove to be the same. A great HC is only as good as the staff and the team on the field. Does everyone buy in, from the Top all the way down to the janitor? It matters.

Unless Ferguson continues to have injury issues and Schoon beats him out that won’t happen. Ferg will probably walk after his deal is up but unless Schoon takes hold of the position, TE will be high on our list in the draft. We need an elite TE. All our championship teams had one.

Agreed. We are not paying fergi specially with bland, Smith, maybe Pickens coming up for contracts. Schoon will be the starting TE next year and we will draft another one.

We all know GM Jethro's talking points.

It also take a GM to make an effort.

Schoon will not be the starting TE in 2026 unless he earns the job. He’s going to have to look a lot better than he has to do that. Our starting TE could be a highly drafted rookie in 2026.

If we lose fergi next year. There is schoon and spann-ford...and UDFA. At that point I think schoonnis top of depth chart. Not a good TE. But just how the roster will be. Unless we draft one

You left out part of my quote. I didn’t say for certain Schoon wouldn’t be the starter in 2026. I said “Schoon will not be the starting TE in 2026 unless he earns the job.” He only started last season because Ferguson was injured. He performed okay but nothing great. His last 4 starts only produced 10 catches for 110 yards. Not terrible but certainly nothing that would make most think he’s on course to be our starter. He’s going to have to take a big jump in 2025 for TE not to be high on our list in 2026, provided Ferguson doesn’t explode and have a huge season.

If we lose Ferguson and the others don’t produce enough TE will be high on our list. Even Shultz wasn’t good enough for us to extend him a couple of years ago. We’re going to be looking for a great TE prospect.
