The 4 players pictured above are most likely as good as gone. Whether they’re cut, or traded, the Dolphins need to create cap space just to get to back to being in the black as far as the cap is concerned. In the recent press conference with Sully, obviously he couldn’t just come out and say “Tua is gone”. To his credit, he came about as close as you can to saying it without actually saying it. The Dolphins would love to get some kind of return, and that’s still on the table at the moment, but they have to find the right team and the right situation where even if they have to pay a large amount of Tua’s salary, that they get at least a decent draft pick or player(s) in return. Draft compensation would be best because they will count less against the cap. The other question is if the Dolphins can’t find a trade partner, do they keep Tua on the roster? Do they give him an opportunity to compete for the starting job or maybe just keep him around for when a contending team loses their QB and there’s Tua Tagovailoa sitting right there to be had? That could happen too, and I wouldn’t be against that. Obviously, he would then not be playing, because no one here wants careful IDGAF Tua playing, and they don’t want him getting injured either, so Ewers and the drafted QB would compete to play while Tua hangs around looking pretty.
WR Tyreek Hill be the first to go, and he is almost certainly just going to be released. Tyreek has a $51M cap hit, but only (Only!!!) $28M dead cap hit. I can’t imagine any team trading for him with that salary, so figure Tyreek is cut ASAP. OLB/DE Bradley Chubb is a different story. He can immediately help a team, he’s a good player who is healthy and I expect there will be multiple teams interested in acquiring Chubb. Minkah Fitzpatrick is another player who is tradable. He had a nice season last year, and I once again point out the irony of the possibility that Minkah might actually want to stay and here and be a leader of this defense, but in a complete turnaround from when he was here in his 2nd season, the Dolphins would like to see Minkah go and get a decent return for him to save cap money. I think without a cap, the Dolphins would love to have Minkah back, but Grier really turned this situation into a total clusterfuck, so Minkah will be gone this season.
Once again, the easy QB connection of Malik Willis and former GB execs and coaches Sully and Haf are linked constantly to their former backup QB. Willis is an UFA in 2026, and he and his agent will be looking for the best deal, translated as the most money. The Dolphins are in no place to offer that, so you can probably scratch him off the list. Unless Malik is the rare player who may see a good situation, a legitimate opportunity to start immediately and grow with a young building team. Don’t bet on it, players run to the $$$ y’all! We see it every year, the supposed hometown discount is like the dodo bird or the dinosaurs, it’s extinct.
I hope we can secure a few draft picks for the players above, we need to get some kind of compensation for the players that will make an impact for other teams. I’d rate Chubb as the best chance, followed very closely by Minkah, and then if we get anything, and I mean anything for either Tua or Tyreek, take it and never look back. I think Tyreek is a physical specimen, and I wouldn’t put it past him that he actually contributes a good amount to some team this season. We saw Tyreek’s teammate Jaelan Phillips rehab from from two devastating injuries and Tyreek is at least at the same level or higher as a workout freak. Tyreek may not be available early in the season, but I do think he’ll be ready in time to help a team. I’m also totally intrigued to see where Tua lands if he’s either traded or cut outright, and how he does wherever he lands. Will Tua at any point decide to get really serious about his physical condition, get himself in excellent shape and find a renewed attitude where he’s just going to go out and ball and if he gets hurt doing so, so be it? We know he didn’t do it here the last 2 seasons, but maybe this will be a wakeup call for him. Whatever happens, I’ll be pleased if/when he’s gone because I don’t feel he gave us his best the last 2 years and I didn’t appreciate his stay healthy at any cost attitude which absolutely reflected not only in his play but the teams failures.
GO DOLPHINS!!!

2026 NFL franchise tag window opens today
Not that it matters to us, lol
Heard this morning that Tyreek still needs another surgery on his knee. He may not be able to play this season or at least all of the season
it was a pretty bad injury
https://x.com/profootballdoc/status/2023561468562870484?s=46
Is Waddle next???
I hope not
For a 1st and take on the extra 11m cap hit and I would consider it.
Not this season. We will owe an additional 11M in dead cap if we trade or cut him this year. He has void years in his contract for 2029 ($6.059M) & 2030 ($3.083M)
He has ANOTHER $23.39M become fully guaranteed on the 5th day of the league year this season too according to the contract notes, but I think Spotrac just didn’t remove that note when he restructured?
His cap hit if we keep him is $33.8M in 26 and $37.2M in 27.
Potential “Out” in 2028 with a 9.7M dead cap charge.
We don’t need a cap. Trade him! We can sign UDFA’s all over the place. Get a 1st RD pick for Waddle
just because we are “under” the cap right now does not mean we don’t need more cap space. we would be negative again if we traded Waddle.
You can ask that team to take on that extra 11m cap hit in the trade.
BBM they can ask for the TWO first round pics it took to select him too, but they aren’t going to get that either.
His cap hits for 26 & 27 are $33M and $37M
No matter how much you try to restructure those, he as a #2 WR is NOT worth it.
So what you suggest is that the Dolphins trade Waddle with two stupid salary years AND ask them to eat the EXTRA 11M on top of that?
$40.5M per year (to start negotiations with him!) in order to have him under contract for 2 years?
NOBODY in their right mind will make that trade. Even for a 7th round pick.
one more try
✂️🗡️🪓🪚🔪
Are you saying you want to trim, stab, chop, cut and hack?
Per Kyle Crabbs, Chubb’s release has not been formally announced. The other 3 in Tyreek, NWI and Daniels have been formally announced. This possibly means either they are still trying to trade Chubb or he is going to be designated a post 6/1 cut. A post 6/1 cut will clear 20m instead of about 7m on a pre 6/1 cut. That would mean we would still have some dead money on Chubb in 2027 if it is a post 6/1 cut. The dolphins can use that 20m to sign the rookies and have operating money throughout the season.
The cuts of Tyreek, Daniels and NWI still have us under the cap by 3.1m so we are good for now. We still need more to fill out the 90 man roster though UDFA’s signed won’t count against the top 51 unless they give a signing bonus to the priority UDFA’s.
The $33M and $37M in 27′ and 28′ is what we are on the hook for on Waddle not the team trading for him.
Waddle will only cost the team trading for him 1.8m this year. Certainly you could ask that team to take on more of the cap hit.
In 2027 the team trading for him will be on the hook for 24m and 27.3m in 2028. I don’t know where this 40.5m per year comes from??? We don’t even owe him that much if he stays. That team gets waddle for 3yrs at 53.2m, roughly 17.7m per year.
Waddle only has 1 salary guarantee left for 2027. Trading team can cut Waddle after 2027 with no dead cap. They can have Waddle for 2026 and 2027 for 25.8m or 2yrs at 12.9m per year.
If they take on the 11.6m dead cap they would have him for 2yrs at 18.7m per year.
If they trade for Waddle and take on the 11.6m dead cap, they still get him for 3yrs at roughly 21.6m per year if they decide to keep him.
Waddle is currently #12 highest paid WR on per year average.
Again, a team that trades for Waddle and takes on the 11.6m dead cap in addition will have him for 3yrs at 21.6m per year. That won’t even put Waddle in the top 20 in per year average. After free agent signings are done, that 21.6 probably won’t even put Waddle in the top 25.
leave the cap stuff to the cap guy…
Also, per Kyle Crabbs, he was not surprised OG Daniels was cut. The Dolphins and MM felt he was ready to play toward the end of the season. Crabbs said Daniels basically refused to play since we were out of the playoffs. Daniels had already created bad blood with the previous staff and holdover Slowick.
Crabbs, was giving some crazy #’s comparing what Grier did vs what the Packers did since 2020. These #’s do not count the resigning of your own players. These #’s also don’t count players traded for. These are only the #’s on free agents signed who were on a different team the previous year.
Since 2020, the Dolphins/Grier signed 37 free agents from other teams to a contract that was 2.5m or more per year.
Since 2020, the Packers signed only 6 free agents from other teams to a contract that was 2.5m or more per year.
That’s crazy!
We said it here 1000X, he had no idea how to build a roster. This purge we’re doing is because Grier left this team in a terrible cap situation. He left it not only in an untenable cap mess, but with very little drafted talent to build with.
My friend that lives up in Kirkwood, CA says it is snowing the hardest he has seen in the last 25 years. Says visibility has maybe been 40 yards all day. He has gotten about 20″ in the last 6 hours at his cabin.
He is retired now but was helping out at the ski resort earlier today. They tried to open but couldn’t. They clean off their snow stake at 6am their time every morning. Now, eight hours later, it’s reading just over 29″ of snow.
https://www.kirkwood.com/the-mountain/mountain-conditions/mountain-cams.aspx
The bottom picture is of their snow stake. You can barely see the 30″ mark at the top of the picture. In 15 minutes you won’t be able to see nothing in that pic.
That’s pretty crazy. I read this morning there was an avalanche in Tahoe/ a bunch of skiers are missing and 6 have been found
Rock,
Yes, I want them to trim all the fat and maybe some red meat too. Let’s see what these guys can do. Get rid of the stank.

Pete Prisco from CBS Sports was just on WQAM. He was saying exactly how I feel. Don’t panic at QB. Why go get Malik Willis? Is he really a top 15 QB? NO! This team isn’t going anywhere this season, Malik Willis wouldn’t make a difference. Just go with Ewers this season, and next season you try and draft your QB
That’s how I feel.
Or Ewers ends up being the QB. 🙂
Well yes, that’s precisely what I said old boy! lol
But you finished with and next season you draft your QB. I’m saying he is the guy moving forward. 🙂
I think that’s how most of us feel
49er’s have to play 2 international games. One in Australia and the other now in Mexico City.
Wow! I was almost sure you misspelled “Austria” in Europe and then googled it. Holy cow! Australia! Melbourne is a 16 hour flight each way!
They HAVE to get the buy week after that trip!!
I totally F’d up the cap math on Waddle yesterday by the way. I took the “total cap hit” numbers and then added the “Dead cap” to it and divided by two. Good thing our capologist doesn’t drink on the job like I was doing. (or maybe he used to before he was fired?) LOL

____
That’s pretty much how several of us see the situation. No outside QB is going to help us immediately so go with who we got and spend the money on positions that can help us immediately and in the future.
I agree with not spending on a FA QB this season. Just draft a guy to compete with Quinn and then sign a back up at low cost.
^
I’m still thinking about Trey Lance as a cheap backup. He was in the Shanahan system for 2 years with 49er’s. Then draft a rookie to fill out the QB room.
Tim – Gotcha – Could be!
That would be the best case scenario.
Absolutely! I hope it does work out that way. At least for a couple more years we have him at a bargain price
Yep
my thought is we draft a QB this year in the fifth round or later, then draft one in the first next season. Unless Ewers becomes a stud, which would be amazing.
Rock,
that is why I typically leave the more intricate details surrounding the salary cap to BBM
LOL, I fuck up also and Steve usually corrects me.
All that said, I don’t think Waddle goes anywhere. Unless MM whines enough to Harbaugh and the Chargers come calling. Though, I could just see the Chargers just drafting one at #22. They do have the money to play in free agency but I think that will go to IOL.
Because you drink and Math? LOL
Current market value per Spotrac on Trey Lance is 1.4m.
That is a good option. Is he free or would we have to trade?
It’s just me, and I am lazy, but If I were Trae Lance and I have made 36M over 4 years, I would NOT be signing again for 1.5-2M per year. I would make the millions I already have work for me.
Fuck! Give me $2M and I will turn it into 20M in 5 years.

I’d take that deal. He is familiar with the system and all of his potential hasn’t washed away. (He is still relatively young)
I don’t know when Drew Allar is supposed to go, but I admit I kinda wanna draft him. I wouldn’t be mad if we took him in the 3rd or 4th RD either.

Jerry Rice was a small school guy. You never really know. That’s why you have to really evaluate the pros and cons of prospects.
Dolphins Talk has an article Titled “Jonah Savaiinaea’s Development Could Be a Quiet X-Factor for the Dolphins in 2026 and goes on to discuss how important the position is and how much they invested to get him, but not once does it come out and refer to his actual performance and how HE IS A BUST. The article is mostly correct, except when it actually talks about Savaiinaea.
Chris Perkins at the SS has an article about how it is essential to resign center Aaron Brewer and linebacker Jordyn Brooks for this to be a successful rebuild.
I say no, he is wrong. At THIS point there is NO ONE essential to the team. Everyone is expendable and NOT ONE player on this team was so great that he MUST be kept.
Prove me wrong.
I think the point is they are relatively young, and two of our best players. You can’t just gut the team and start fresh with everyone- that would mean we would be counting on hitting on every pick for the foreseeable future. I also think it’s essential to have vets like those two around to teach and mentor the young players so they learn the right way of being a professional.
Andrew Thomas the Giants LT had a bad rookie season as do a lot of rookie OL. Now he’s a cornerstone of their OL. Lots of rookies struggle. We’ll know more about him in his 2nd season.
Rumor has it, Miami is having trade talks involving Minkah Fitzpatrick.
I read that. I wouldn’t mind a pick next year for him. I don’t love this draft.
Tua to Pittsburgh would be crazy, in my opinion, but Steeler Nation has been talking about it. I’ll believe it when I see it, though.
My friend Scott would absolutely lose his mind if the Steelers get Tua
Verifying what Rich stated previously…
@Schultz_Report
Sources: The #Dolphins have had trade talks with teams regarding 5x Pro Bowl S Minkah Fitzpatrick. Miami released four players earlier this week, including Tyreek Hill, and are in the early stages of resetting the roster under a new regime.
They say released 4 players but the Dolphins have still not formally released Chubb.
I’m hearing that it’s not out of the realm of possibility that Chubb could still be traded, due to the fact he hasn’t been officially announced as cut. We’ll see!
Any player we can trade for quality draft compensation due to salary issues we should do. 3/4 of the roster will be different in 2027.
Yup!
If we can somehow get another day 3 pick, that would be GRAND!
Sorry, I meant to say another day 2 pick, that would be GRAND!
I think a lot of folks forget the fact that Green Bay had Rasul Douglas for 2 1/2 years from ’21-’23, and he just came off a fantastic year with us in ’25. Do not be surprised if we bring him back… so long as we don’t have to break the bank for him.
He’ll be 31 years old once the ’26 season begins, so I wouldn’t expect him to command top-dollar. GM M13 would re-sign him to a fair contract.
And by the same token, we’re probably not trying to compete in ’26… rather, to find young bucks who can contribute once we are competitive once again.
Yeah, you guys just saw me do a 180 once again in real time! LOL @ myself!
LOL
you were just talking it through out loud
They will try to compete with a very very young team. They don’t really have a choice. It should set up nicely for a shot at a top QB in the 27 draft. It will be an organic tank. This is what Grief left behind.
^^^
exactly, I agree
I’ve been using the term organic tank since earlier this season
I don’t think this team is going to be built this year to be a top 5 pick. We already have some good young players to build on. We’re not void of talent because of who we released or haven’t yet.
The thing I like about Sully is he was heavily involved in player personnel in acquisitions rather than all the other things GMs have to do. So he’s up on the talent available both in the pros and college and we’re going to need that knowledge this year.
Agreed.
have you guys heard about any additions or promotions within our scouting department? That stuff is usually not reported on very much. I know they fired the two co-chief scouts A few days after they fired Chris Grier, But I have not heard of any replacements or promotions.

——–
LOL, precisely! I’m so used to trying to field a competitive team, year in and year out. THIS is our chance for the ‘organic tank’.
I absolutely LUV Da’ Penguin, Jaylen Waddle. Said it before and I’ll say it again… he’s NOT a ‘true’ #1 WR. He’s a traditional #2 who can take the top off of Defenses, keeping them honest vs the pass.
He’s not a possession WR, he’s far too injured to be a reliable #1, and Father Time has a way of slowing burner WRs down. IF we can get a 1st round pick out of him (maybe even a 2nd round pick and some change), I think ya have to deal him.
Deal him now, before the injuries catch up to him… and Father Time takes away his prolific speed.
Waddle may also feel a certain (good) way about Tua, being both have been friends for so many years. If he lays down in support of Tua, that would be really bad.
I say if you’re going to do a rebuild, go all the way. DO NOT half-ass it.
Trades sound good but you need a willing team. You don’t give gifts.
Um, OK? Who said anything about giving gifts? You propose trades, listen to them, and then decide if the player is worth the compensation the other team is willing to pay. If not, you keep him. Not sure where the gifting came from????
Yeah, they need to make the decision whether they’re gonna try to build a culture foundation with the best people we have or just gut the roster like a fish and punt towards 2027.
BBM,
I don’t see why you’re so after Trey Lance other than the Shanahan system connection. I haven’t seen anything out of him worth pursuing or worth giving him money.
Said it 3 or 4 months ago… our biggest need (other than QB… not going to happen this season via FA or the Draft) is EDGE. I still stand by my assessment all these months later.
IF David Bailey falls to a certain point (I say R1P7, to the Redskins), you TRADE UP for him. It would probably cost one of our 3 third-round picks.
So between now and Draft day, let’s get more draft picks.
M13,
I don’t think anybody is giving up a first for Waddle. I think you may go in asking for a first but realistically hoping you get a second. I think it’s debatable if he’d even bring a second without us giving something more….say a fifth or player or something. If I could get a second for him…he gone!
This team/organization needs to get a whole lot better at self scouting. Make a true evaluation of the players you have and then decide how you’re gonna use those assets. Of course we have some players worth keeping…why team doesn’t? The question is are they just as or more valuable as trade assets. Just because a player is a good player doesn’t mean you’re required to keep him. Teams trade away good players all the time.
Wouldn’t it be great if we have a team who ends up making really good moves that ultimately make the team better? Players come and go. Build a system that consistently identifies good players and obtains them. That’s what will bring a consistent playoff competitor.
And, again, the FO can do a whole bunch of things to “tank” that are really in the long term interest of the team’s competitive longevity. Players and coaches can still play to win.
Randy,
Just remember, the Bills offered us TWO 1st round picks for Waddle prior to the ’25 season… or so it was reported.
I think(?) we might be able to get a single 1st rounder in exchange… but like you stated, I’d also be delighted to a 2nd and some change. We’ll see what happens, man!
Around the 2025 NFL trade deadline, the Buffalo Bills made a significant, failed offer to the Miami Dolphins for WR Jaylen Waddle, which reportedly included a 2027 first-round pick and a 2026 third-round pick. The Dolphins rejected the deal because they demanded a 2026 first-round pick and were reluctant to trade a star player within the division.
So draft value wise it was a 3rd and a 4th.
A first TWO YEARS LATER and a 3rd a YEAR LATER.
M13,
You follow that stuff a lot closer than I do, but wasn’t the offer reportedly a first round and then third round in a subsequent year?
The way I recall it, it was TWO 1st rounders. And of course, we weren’t going to do it, being the Bills are in-division.
I might be wrong, of course. Nevertheless, we were offered a 1st rounder, regardless.
I saw that his trade value now is around 2nd round pick 1 or pick #33. Also mentioned a 2026 day 3 pick and a 2027 1st. They factored in age, contract and all that stuff.
sb7mvp, yeah, I agree on Lance. That is why he should come cheap.
M13,
Ok, I went to look. They offered a 2026 third rounder and a 2027 first.
I would have taken that, Randy! How about you?
Any MY bad, thinking it was two 1st rounders.
I view Jaylen Waddle the same as I view(ed) DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin: BEASTS in their prime, only to falloff quickly thereafter. They aren’t possession WRs… they thrive on their speed for separation. Once the speed goes, buh-bye.
If we can get a 1st or a 2nd rounder for Waddle, I think I’d pull the trigger. Sell high.
M13,
I wouldn’t trade a lice ridden rat to Buffalo. Lol

Nice draft! Not sure Pregnon and Trotter last that long. Jalen Huskey is underrated. Though I am waiting to see how he does at the combine next week. He does everything well but not sure if he will score high athletically.
Keonte Scott is growing on me. You can play him anywhere from FS to boundary CB. Though, I think he is more a slot/NB guy.
there is no way Pregnon lasts that long but take what the board gives me and there he was
Trotter I think is going to fall sometime between the 2nd and 3rd rounds
Off ball LBs usually go a little lower

Outside of Jonah, I like every player we drafted. What does BR expect in a draft when 6 of your 8 picks are 5th round and later.
Of course giving away pick #98 to move up for Jonah did fuck the whole draft up.
Gonna be a long time between now and the draft.

NO! I wouldn’t make that trade to BUFFALO, either! I was referring to the same compensation from another team not in our division, nor the Chefs*.
I’d do it.
Said it before, Chargers would be perfect trade partner for Waddle. They need WR’s, have the extra cap and MM is there he knows the system.
Makes sense to me, BBM. I wonder what the Charge may offer us for his services?
Jimmy Rolder is an ILB I have on my UDFA want list. He led Michigan in tackles last year in his only year starting though played a lot in 2024 also. He’s 6’2, 240, very low missed tackle rate and decent in zone coverage. If he does well at the combine, he may get drafted though. May even take him in the 7th if he is there.
Ahh! I see Count Chocula was talking up my guy Hezekiah Masses, CB, California, today as a potential Draft steal.
It feels good when a national pundit verifies my eyes on a prospect generally considered to be outside of the top-100. #DBuniversity #BALLHAWK!!!
I hate when my favs match up with McShay and Count Chocula. It makes me think I missed something negative on the player. lol Especially McShay. I do think Masses is underrated by some. I think he ends up going in the 2nd round by one of those teams that does not undervalue him.
Congrats to the US women!
I’m not a fan of the 3 on 3 in OT in the medal round.
Me neither 😡
If it was 5 on 5 the way it should be, that game might still be going on. Razor slim margin between these teams.
I don’t love it either. Especially for 10 minutes
Guys, see up the page my response.
It was a 2027 first round pick and a 2026 3rd round pick. Which amount to the value of a 3rd and 4th round pick. I would have passed on the trade too.
We’re going to suck in ’26, regardless. To end up with an additional 1st rounder in ’27, so as to trade up for the best QB in the class? YES!

LOL, I hear that!
Don’t know what happened to McShay over the years, but he seems to have gotten worse with time. And Count Chocula will always be Count Chocula… not even close to one of my favorite pundits and he whiffs a LOT.
Nevertheless, my guy Hezekiah Masses seems to be generating some hype as of late, verifying my eyes.
REMEMBER what I said about Masses… he’s going to be a project of sorts as he’s prone to jump the ball and bites on double-moves. He’s an excellent eye-reader of the QB, but the NFL is a different monster altogether with eye-fakery.
Masses reminds me of a raw Jack Jones… who just started to put it all together (especially his run-game defense) under Anthony Weaver. Nevertheless… he’s a BALLHAWK!!!
I’d grade him as a late 3rd-rounder at best, more likely to be an early day 3 prospect. JMO
BBM,
it was BR’s report card after one season- it was an F. As it stands now, I can’t disagree with them.

Okay if everyone is going to be sensitive about comments I make which are not targeting you, but a difference of opinion, you deal with that as you wish. I’m not playing in the childish sandbox anymore.

Tim, you’re all good, my Brother. DO YOU, and continue to do you! Suggestion? Don’t be so sensitive about yourself, man.
Continue to be yourself! Your positivity is absolutely needed and I personally find it to be refreshing… you keep me balanced, my friend.
It’s happened three times in the last week just because I had a different view about something. I didn’t insult anyone, it was just a different take. All I’m saying is I’m not engaging in personal battles. I’m talking about what’s going on with the team and what direction we might be going in. This is a new regime that has no track record in Miami so to suggest they will do the same things we’ve done in the past doesn’t make much sense to me until they show us otherwise.
Completely agree! I’m excited and curious!
Mike E,
I want to draft Allar too. He’s got a projection in the 200’s but I don’t think he lasts past 150. He has prototypical size, has the arm strength to make all the throws, can run when he needs to, and has played for a big time program. He shuffles with accuracy from time to time. The biggest issue I have with him is I never saw that “it” factor with him while he was at PSU. Mind you, I watch nearly every game. Maybe once against a mediocre Big Ten team. That said, he had three OCs while he was there , and I don’t think James Franklin and his staff did a great job at developing QBs. I would definitely take a flyer on him because of the physical tools he possesses .
*struggles with accuracy
Bri – Allar could be a project, no immediate expectations, but I agree that he has the foundations of a prototype QB. I don’t want to draft a guy now that is expected to be the franchise guy now. Ewers and Allar could compete but Ewers should be able to beat out Allar because he has more pro experience. You can bring Allar along, let him develop and you draft a QB next year early, you can have a nice QB competition in 2027, and maybe you have a QB who someone else might want to trade for. Imagine having a glut of QB’s, all who have value?
This is how I feel. Been taking Allar more lately. Him or Robertson in the 5th.
admittedly, I’m a homer, but I take him almost every draft.
Those are my thoughts exactly. I like their philosophy of “drafting a quarterback nearly every year.”
Allar’s athleticism is also underrated . He can run very well, and also can sneak the ball.
I wouldn’t be upset if we drafted Allar before the 5th RD, just don’t trade up and waste more picks. We have three 3rd RD picks, I don’t mind using one of those which is basically a 4th RD pick.
yeah, someone will take a shot on him before the 5th for sure
My friend in Kirkwood said the snow has finally let up. Says he got 5’6 inches over the last 48 hours and 7’7 inches over the duration of the snowstorm, about 4 days.
7 feet??? That’s crazy!
I have a cousin in Truckee- I have to check in with her
Also, Allar really never had elite receivers . All of them were slightly above average to average

21/32 NFL teams will have a new OC this season.
That is crazy!

I think they got close to 60″ total in Truckee. Not sure, could be more. The higher the elevation the more snow usually. My friend’s cabin is at around 8000′ elevation.
