Not really interested in anyone on that list except maybe Tyron on that super cheap deal he took last year. Gilmore was solid but with Diggs coming back it’s time to find a younger 3rd CB. I’d be willing to bring back Lewis on a cheap one year deal as 4th CB.

The only needle movers on there are Gilmore, Hankins and Tyron IMO.
And Tyron really needs to step back. He's still very good when he's playing at 100%, but that's not very often anymore. He was not good yesterday.

I’d talk with Armstrong, Fowler, Hankins, Lewis, Sieg’s agents about coming back. If the money is right then keep.

I’d let Gilmore, and Goodwin test the market and then talk to their agents.

Biadasz is a question mark, is my scouts told me he was the reason our run game was awful then see y’a later.

Edoga possibly but only as a backup OG.

All others can seek employment elsewhere. I’m a huge Tyron fan but the times he got beat yesterday have tainted him for me right now. I’m leaning toward Tyler taking over LT and Bass taking LG. Draft a OC or sign one from another team although Hoffman looked decent against the Commanders but it was the Commanders.

there needs to be big changes in the players and the coaching staff as well

Three draft picks in the first six rounds (not including a couple of potential comp picks) this year - I would imagine that a number of guys on that list will be back due to the organization being biased toward their own players and the fact that the guys on that list probably will not be especially taxing to the cap.

It’s also amazing that the front office knew this was the personnel they had and was like “hey we like our guys and won’t bother bringing in any LB’s at the trade deadline”
It was too late by then. Should’ve saw this issue in the offseason…even with LVE health but I mean I don’t know why anyone would assume he’d be healthy.

Biadasz regressed so goodbye
It's an are of the OL we can get more physical at. I think Smith at LG stays there now that he is all pro there. I do LOVE what I have seen from Bass....if they decided to move Smith to LT and Bass to LG next year...I wouldn't argue it.

Still the FO’s fault regardless.

They had an injury prone LVE with a bad neck. Who as you said, you can’t rely on to stay healthy.

They also trusted a LB with a surgically repaired back who has proven nothing in the NFL and let’s be honest. Looked bad from the start, to be another starter.

They drafted Overshown and it’s not their fault he got hurt but just drafting Overshown alone wasn’t even enough.

TBH I would turn it all over this year, let Dak play through his current contract (even with the insane cap hit), and use this season to rebuild. This exact roster has had 3 chances and can’t even get out of the 1st round.

The team will probably even still be good enough to contend for a WC spot regardless of what you do.

Over paying guys like Kearse, Armstrong, Biadasz, etc would be a mistake.

Oh well... Do fans a favor and don't resign anyone, and just take the next season off.

I don't see many game changing roster moves;

- Pollard just does not seem the same explosive self - C-tier take it or leave it offer
- Hankins on another one year deal- Ditto with Fowler
- Bones love CJ Goodwin; but will Bones return under a new HC (ala Belichek)
- Tyron missed a couple games but played well (2 year, 30 million? )
- Love to have Gilmore on a 1-2 year deal, but have Bland/Diggs duo if we cannot
- Kearse is serviceable - Thomas as a replacement ?
- if Gilmore returns, Bland to the slot and Lewis departs as UFA.
If Gilmore departs, Diggs/Bland with Lewis returning to slot

- I'm pursuing LB, C and RB in first half of NFL draft.
Bones was garbage almost all year. We block a few punts but that's it. Our return game is horrible. We fall for every fake and we constantly commit penalties wich become turn overs. Please rid ourselves of this clown.

Need to keep Tyron. We won't be getting a franchise LT at pick 24. I'd also like to keep Hankins


But yes, I agree--some of the main faces of this team will not be here next year. Kearse, Pollard, Biadasz...

Bones was very instrumental in development and emergence of first year " pro bowl " FG kicker Brandon Aubrey
and never gave up on him, when everyone was panicking and pointing fingers about our FG kicker situation in camp
and begging the club to seek a vet kicker.

Now we may have another chan bailey clutch kicker for years to come - but yet we want to get rid of Bones, eh ?

For me it’s just Tyron believe it or not. His play is amazing and his health since the surgery has gotten better. Everyone else is mediocre and could kick rocks. Diggs back, Gilmore expendable
