Yep big price but he’s locked in on a reasonable deal (for the player he is) for 5-6 years.
The draft and FA ain’t helping this year.
The Giants have had o-line issues for years. They are not about to trade their best player on offense other than Nabers, especially since they are about to draft a QB. [Reply]

Eagles didn’t blitz Chiefs one time last night. Similar to Bucs vs. KC in the 2021 Super Bowl.
But it’s not as simple as “blitz vs. no-blitz”.
To win with just a 4-man rush, you have to have monsters on the edge and beasts in the middle.
Watt nailed it. Thuney got abused playing out of position and Calliendo had no chance. Left side collapsed almost instantly all game long. Right side was a little better, but not much. It was just a perfect storm to go up against an OL that had been in flux all season. That's why, for this game, I would have given serious thought of putting Thuney back at LG and at least have a strength on strength situation somewhere, with our interior 3. [Reply]

But there's absolutely no reason for them to trade up if they're not trading up for something that is surely better. You're active in the draft forums. You know how often those guys in the 20's pan out. Short of a monumental trade, we are giving away multiple picks for another Kingsley. That would be overeactionary and stupid.
Veach knows all that. No way he does something stupid like that. [Reply]

Yeah, their selling points right now are that they have the foundations on offense. Franchise LT, franchise WR, good young RB. Just need the QB to make it work and ascend quickly.
I’ve looked around rosters. I don’t think there’s a young LT to be had, at least not one that you feel like settles the position for years, like people want.
If you can’t sign one of Cam Robinson, Stanley, or Alaric Jackson, I think you can take a numbers game approach as the best bet.
Sign a floor vet like Humphries. Sign a second-chance guy like Jedrick Willis. Draft another guy with traits.
Throw them in the pot with guys you have on hand and see what comes out. [Reply]

Any way the Chargers are gonna trade Slater? Surely not right? [Reply]

It's not about grades. It's about hit rates. Guys taken after pick 15 just don't hit with any regularity at all. If you're not taking an Alt, you're taking a lottery ticket. Would you pay $15 for $5 scratcher? That's dumb. [Reply]
