  1. I did not think we could make the playoffs with a 6 and 11 record.
  2. just watching on computer. Is this team better without Young and Sweat. I guess New England is not much of a test
  3. looking at sweat's contract, I think we should look edge in the draft and offensive line in free agency. It looks like there are some decent offensive tackles in the 20 to 30 range right now. I think we can get a good trade up and pick one. Linebacker I am confused with. Does anyone know a site that gives good rankings?
  4. Some thoughts on free agents next year: 40. Ronald Darby, CB, Baltimore Ravens-give us time to see if Forbes develops Cornerback Ronald Darby didn't land with the Baltimore Ravens until August, but he may have found the perfect place to improve his 2024 stock. The Ravens appear to have a Super Bowl-caliber defense, and Darby is a significant contributor. Though Darby has bounced between five teams in his nine seasons, he's been a fairly dependable starter in every stop. Last year with the Denver Broncos, he held opposing quarterbacks to a 69.9 passer rating in coverage. 25. Jordyn Brooks, LB, Seattle Seahawks Jordyn Brooks of the Seattle Seahawks has grown into one of the league's most prolific off-ball linebackers. The 26-year-old topped 160 tackles in each of the past two seasons and led the league with 109 solo stops in 2021. While Brooks suffered a torn ACL in Week 17 last season, he was back on the field for Week 1 this year, which he finished with 12 tackles, a tackle for loss and five solo stops. He has already amassed 67 tackles, 35 solo stops, 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble this season. "It's amazing," fellow linebacker Bobby Wagner said, per John Boyle of the team's official website. "I hope we don't just pass on it like this is not a big deal." Brooks worked hard for a speedy recovery. Expect him to cash in with a sizeable second contract. Logical suitors include the Commanders, who are projected to have the second-most cap space in the NFL and who could use help at the second level of their defense. Though the Pittsburgh Steelers are currently projected to be over next year's cap, they should take a long look at a run-stopping linebacker like Brooks. While Pittsburgh's defense has been mostly solid this season, the Steelers have allowed an average of 4.5 yards per carry. Potential Suitors: Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Commanders 23. Mike Onwenu, OL, New England Patriots While the 2024 crop of pure offensive tackles isn't overly impressive, New England's Mike Onwenu may provide an intriguing option. Onwenu spent most of last season starting on the interior for the Patriots. He had a strong campaign and was responsible for only two penalties and one sack allowed, according to Pro Football Focus. However, Onwenu has experience playing both tackle positions, and New England recently moved him over to right tackle with positive results. His versatility and dependability are tremendously attractive traits. "Mike played [right tackle] his rookie year. He's a smart kid—understands probably all the different positions on the offensive line," Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said, per Christopher Price of the Boston Globe. "Pretty good fundamental player, and obviously has got good strength." Set to turn just 26 in December, Onwenu is likely to command a significant long-term deal. The Raiders, who are still searching for the right offensive line combination, could target Onwenu as either a guard or a tackle. The Cincinnati Bengals will also be in the right tackle market if Jonah Williams departs in free agency. 22. Patrick Queen, LB, Baltimore Ravens In May, the Baltimore Ravens declined linebacker Patrick Queen's fifth-year option. The 24-year-old has responded with a hot start to what could be a career year. Through eight games, Queen has tallied 69 tackles, six tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, six quarterback pressures and three passes defended. He finished the 2022 season with 117 tackles, five sacks and two interceptions. The Ravens did discuss an extension with Queen last offseason, though the two sides reportedly never came close to an agreement. "There were talks and then some stuff fell through," Queen said, per The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. "Obviously, you get upset. I'm probably going to be gone. That's, at least, what I was thinking in my head. I'm thinking that I'm gone." If Baltimore cannot retain Queen, teams like the Commanders and Steelers should be interested in adding him. The Giants should also have heavy interest. Queen played his first two seasons under current New York defensive coordinator Don Martindale, and New York has struggled against the run this season, allowing an average of 4.8 yards per carry. The Browns could also make a play for Queen if they can carve out enough cap space for him. Luring Queen away from a division rival would benefit Cleveland, and the Browns could lose linebackers Anthony Walker Jr. and Sione Takitaki in 2024 free agency. Potential Suitors: Cleveland Browns, New York Giants 19. Connor Williams IOL, Miami Dolphins 12 OF 30 MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA - OCTOBER 8: Connor Williams #58 of the Miami Dolphins runs out of the tunnel during player introductions prior to a game against the New York Giants at Hard Rock Stadium on October 8, 2023 in Miami Gardens, Florida. (Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images) Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images Connor Williams, a 2018 second-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys, has developed into one of the better young interior linemen in the NFL. Though he never achieved Pro Bowl status during his four years in Dallas, he started 51 games and provided dependable play, primarily at left guard. Penalties were an issue for Williams in Dallas, but he still cracked the top 50 on our 2022 free-agent big board. Since arriving in Miami, Williams has been moved to center and has been more steady. After allowing three sacks last year, he has yet to allow one this season, according to Pro Football Focus. While Williams is currently battling a groin injury, he lands inside our top 20 for his combination of experience, positional versatility and youth, as he won't turn 27 until May. Williams should be a target for contending teams and rebuilding franchises alike. However, the Panthers and Commanders should both be heavily interested. Washington has allowed a league-high 41 sacks this season and can use line help virtually anywhere they can get it. The Panthers have allowed 25 sacks and desperately need to put a better blocking unit in front of 2023 first overall pick Bryce Young. Potential Suitors: Carolina Panthers, Washington Commanders The Bengals might also consider pairing Barkley with their star quarterback, Joe Burrow. While Cincinnati running back Joe Mixon is signed through the 2024 season, he isn't the explosive runner he was earlier in his career. The Bengals could also save $5.8 million in cap space by releasing Mixon in the spring. Potential Suitors: Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans 17. Jonah Williams, OT, Cincinnati Bengals 14 OF 30 GLENDALE, AZ - OCTOBER 08: Jonah Williams #73 of the Cincinnati Bengals warms up prior to an NFL game against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on October 8, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona. (Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images) Cooper Neill/Getty Images As a left tackle, Jonah Williams was a veritable disaster for the Bengals. Last season, he got called for four penalties and allowed 12 sacks, according to Pro Football Focus. Williams' inconsistency led Cincinnati to sign Orlando Brown Jr. in free agency, which eventually resulted in Williams shifting to right tackle. Since making the position switch, the 25-year-old has looked like a different player. On the right side, Williams' strength as a run blocker has flashed more frequently, and he hasn't been as much of a liability in the passing game. Per PFF, Williams has allowed only three sacks and has yet to be called for a penalty this season. The Commanders could eye Williams as a replacement for Andrew Wylie, who has been responsible for four penalties and five sacks this season, per PFF, although Wylie is under contract through 2025. The Raiders may also give some consideration to Williams as they seek a permanent answer at right tackle. Las Vegas has tried Jermaine Eluemunor and 2022 seventh-round pick Thayer Munford Jr. at the position with mixed results. If Williams continues the level of play he's shown through the first eight weeks, he could be the bookend to Kolton Miller that Las Vegas has been seeking. Potential Suitors: Las Vegas Raiders, Washington Commanders 9. Devin White, LB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 22 OF 30 ORCHARD PARK, NY - OCTOBER 26: Devin White #45 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers runs onto the field prior to an NFL football game against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium on October 26, 2023 in Orchard Park, New York. (Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images) Cooper Neill/Getty Images Since being taken fifth overall in the 2019 draft, Tampa's Devin White has established himself as arguably the best young off-ball linebacker in the NFL. He won't turn 26 until February, and he already has one Pro Bowl nod, one Super Bowl ring, 530 tackles, 20.5 sacks, 17 passes defended and 36 tackles for loss on his resume. This season, White has done a little bit of everything for the Buccaneers, including allowing an opposing passer rating of only 66.7 in coverage. White is one of the few true sideline-to-sideline defenders in the league, and there isn't a role that he cannot fill. When making contract projections, the five-year, $100 million deal that Roquan Smith recently signed with Baltimore is a likely starting point. The Bears, who traded Smith to the Ravens last year, could be interested in bringing another elite linebacker into the fold. They might be seeking a new quarterback in 2024, but they also need to improve their 23rd-ranked defense. The Texans could also be in pursuit of White in a few months. Head coach DeMeco Ryans knows the importance of having a top-tier linebacker after coaching Fred Warner in San Francisco. Houston should be aggressive in building around players like C.J. Stroud and Will Anderson Jr. in the offseason. Potential Suitors: Chicago Bears, Houston Texans 4. Danielle Hunter, Edge, Minnesota Vikings 27 OF 30 MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - OCTOBER 23: Danielle Hunter #99 of the Minnesota Vikings looks on against the San Francisco 49ers in the first half at U.S. Bank Stadium on October 23, 2023 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Vikings defeated the 49ers 22-17. (Photo by David Berding/Getty Images) David Berding/Getty Images If we were ranking players purely on statistical production, Danielle Hunter would be the top free-agent pass-rusher with little question. The Vikings star has three Pro Bowls and five double-digit-sack seasons on his resume, and he may be in the midst of a career year. However, Hunter has benefited greatly from hitting home at a remarkably high rate. He currently leads the NFL with nine sacks, but he's tied for 33rd with nine quarterback hits. It's important to remember that sacks aren't the only way that pass-rushers can disrupt the offensive game plan. This isn't to suggest that Hunter isn't a terrific player, because he is. However, there's a reasonable chance that his sack numbers are more in line with other top free-agent pass-rushers by season's end. The other factor to consider here is that Hunter recently turned 29. He's still young enough to warrant a multi-year deal, but some teams may be hesitant to offer him a four- or five-year contract. Expect playoff hopefuls with a solid amount of cap space, like the Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts, to have the best chance of landing Hunter. Potential Suitors: Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts
  5. prefer more but think of our salary cap situation for next year. We are looking great
  6. love the trade, but hate to see Sweat go. He did good for us. Two offensive line and a linebacker in our first 3 picks sound good.
  7. We are beginning to win the off season. Howell looks good, lots of talent, hire a good coach and G. M., and a poor record. Olumuyiwa Fashanu OT Penn. Joe Alt OT Notre-- Linebacker in the second round.
  8. I predict I will have a major headache by halftime.
  9. We need to recruit this guy: Watch Videos Online | Three Stooges Meet Hercules | Veoh.com
  10. I think we need a top 10 pick for the offensive line. There are several that should go in the top 10.
  11. Thank God we have a top 5 defense. Think of what the score would be if we didn't.
  12. life of brian song bright side youtube video - Google Search
  13. Who hoo!!! no yards running by Denver that drive
  14. Oh come on. They are only averaging 10 yards a carry,
  15. And Ha, I say to Arizona. You thought you could tank but we are outdoing you. P.S. Great offensive linemen in top ten of the draft next year.
  16. Not only did we win the off season, but also, we won the Super Bowl of the off season.
  17. I was pleasantly surprised to see some unpicked players after the 4th round. 1st Christian Gonzales CB 2nd Cody Mauch OT 3rd Dawand Jones OT 4th Ventrell Miller, LB, Florida 5th Emmanuel Forbes CB Mississippi State 6th Jartavius Martin S/CB 7th Ricky Stromberg C Arkansas
  18. Meant George Allen. He was the one who traded away a draft pick we did not have way back when.
