  1. Offensive line is where I hope they get splashy and not bargin hunt. As for the players who will get paid, I’d look to the offensive line for your answers. And this is as much about NFL economics as anything, as they relate to the franchise tag. There’s one blanket number for offensive linemen, which essentially means if you’re going to tag a guard or a center, you’re tagging them at the tackle number. The result, from there, is similar to what you’d see if the NFL decided to group safeties with corners, or tight ends with receivers. And it’s exactly like what the flood of edge rushers tagged as linebackers has done to teams’ ability to franchise off-ball linebackers. Simply put, a guard or a center generally isn’t worth what a tackle is, so teams don’t tag them, which winds up dumping them into the market. Add the reality that there aren’t enough offensive linemen to go around, and there should be a windfall for big men. So if we go back to the question of which players could get paid more than people think, a lot of the feedback I’ve received is pointed toward those interior line positions. It was the Miami Dolphins’ Robert Hunt and Detroit’s Jonah Jackson at guard, and Denver’s Lloyd Cushenberry at center. Others such as New England’s Mike Onwenu (who has the flexibility to play right tackle) and Dallas’s Tyler Biadasz could benefit from the rising tide, as well. “If Ben Powers got $13 million last year, a lot of guys should get more than that this year,” says an NFC exec, citing Powers’s four-year, $51.5 million deal in Denver. That, again, is the NFL leaning into certain position groups and away from others.
  2. One guy they do have on staff (asst QB coach) is David Blough. Makes one wonder if they even plan to have an active roster mentor.
  3. Standig on with Sheehan discussing who/what he's watching in FA - DE market could be tricky in FA (Allen and Burns tagged) talent drop He's looking at guys in their 20's that could grow with the team and not necessarily aged vets He's watching FA names where Commanders coaches have familiarity DE Armstrong (DAL), LB Fowler (DAL), Center Biadasz (DAL), LB Al-shaair (SF), DE Bryce Huff (NYJ) Large receivers like Josh Reynold (DET), Noah Brown (TEX) He says maybe resign Lucas, pair with rookie but he'd go center and guard in FA (both Detroit guards are FA and coached by Johnson) Curl may have over inflated himself, mentioned safty Kearse (DAL)
