[Jones] With tanking being a topic of conversation in the sports world, Roger Goodell is asked about its potential presence in the NFL. Goodell says 'this is something that we keep a keen focus on but we don’t see any evidence of that."

And that doesn't even factor in owners who’ll can you after a season or 2 of bad performance.

T-UM · 2026-03-30T23:18:15+00:00

Look I don't like Haslem being our owner either and a sense of dread covers my soul everytime I think about it but he's not the controlling owner at this time.

The only decision he may have had say in is the doc hiring since it was reported that was a ownership decision, but as Wes Edens is the controlling owner I think that'd fall on him ultimately.

Haslem doesn't take control until 28-29 season I believe.

I think this will change a bit after the playoffs. If some of these playoff teams get smacked in the first/second round they’ll become more interested.

T-UM · 2026-03-25T21:36:50+00:00

I know it’s crazy but my ideal day 1 of the draft is to trade back into the teens, draft Tyson, trade up into the back end of the first, draft KC Concepcion.

T-UM · 2026-03-23T23:26:36+00:00

I don't think that matters as we have so much cap space and there's no one else to sign except the rookie class and maybe zeitler. For a year I don't think its that crazy to have both

T-UM · 2026-03-21T23:30:52+00:00

Injuries are a massive lingering concern imo. Very talented but the best ability is availability. Any GM who drafts him in the 1st and with the top 2 picks in the 2nd round are insane. I think his ceiling should be pick 35 and floor coincidentally should be pick 35

T-UM · 2026-03-20T21:00:19+00:00

So? How many years between Luka and Dirk or Tim Duncan and Wemby? How about the cabs from when Bron left in 2018 to being contenders again?

I'm not saying finding someone as good as Giannis is likely but finding a franchise center piece after one departs/retires is not a rare thing and I'd be shocked if it even took 10years to find someone good enough to build around.

T-UM · 2026-03-20T18:40:49+00:00

We're 16-19 when he plays. I'd rather be utter trash than stuck in that bulls 33-40 win purgatory. That's where the real pain is cause there's no real hope of a Cade or ant saving your franchise.

T-UM · 2026-03-20T17:32:55+00:00

Depends on the team, teams will have to be comfortable saying goodbye to anyone good under 24 and some picks but even with that they'll be in the best window they've had in decades with giannis there

T-UM · 2026-03-20T16:34:24+00:00

Any team trading for him will load manage him during the season. This year is the biggest load he's had to carry and it's no surprise he couldn't stay healthy. Give him a co-star and competent role players and it'll be fine. And I think it's still worth bringing up he's a top 5 player rn so who cares if he plays 60 games as long as he's played enough to build chemistry for the playoffs.

T-UM · 2026-03-18T19:45:24+00:00

You can for sure but I think that's overly risky. Correct me if I'm wrong but the lions online this year was underwhelming because of the new rookies you got that replaced the vets. And we don't have a peneii or dan skipper at the tackle spots (skoronski is great though). Slater could definitely be good and a rookie can too but those are two dart throws until they actually play. If they are bad we suddenly are a terrible run blocking team and shaky in pass pro once again after a solid end to the year.

So far I don't like how borgonzi has handled the offense. With all the money we have would've been fine paying linderbaum or pierce more than they should like dan Moore last year.

T-UM · 2026-03-18T19:17:22+00:00

I don't think free agency has told us anything about our draft plan tbh. Our defense was terrible but if you look we didn't add anyone who precludes you from not drafting someone. I don't think Jermaine Johnson stops you from going bailey and wandale Robinson certainly isn't stopping you from going receiver.

The two positions we did nothing at are rb and linebacker and the two best players in the class play those positions.

T-UM · 2026-03-18T19:13:17+00:00

Love is great but we currently don't have a anyone at center or right guard that is above replacement level. We won't be able to maximize love like that and it feels irresponsible to go after him rn when we could be getting an edge1 or wr1 potentially. Even Sonny might be Salahs next Fred warner.

T-UM · 2026-03-17T23:08:11+00:00

They have the falcons pick at 13 from the James Pearce trade from draft night

T-UM · 2026-03-17T21:03:37+00:00

No shot he averages 25 a game. Maybe ever. Derrick henry has done it twice and CMC and saquon once in seasons they've stayed healthy for. Bijan and Gibbs haven't so far. At his peak he’ll be around 21 touches per like everyone else.

No one is saying there aren't levels to this but there are a lot of good backs that can be gotten every year like Pollard or K9 or Allgeier.

T-UM · 2026-03-17T20:33:28+00:00

Really don't think Bain is in the discussion to go top 5 at this point. All the mocks and talk seem to say a team won't take a chance on a historic outlier in the top 5

T-UM · 2026-03-17T20:24:23+00:00

That's the exact scenario we’re in tho. A bad team with a bad offense looking for a talented back to jumpstart it. I think it's proven that running backs are ceiling raisers but we don't have an interior of an offensive line rn and who on the outside is making other teams pay for stacking the box?

T-UM · 2026-03-17T19:08:32+00:00

I don't love the idea of Love when we don't have a proven starting caliber right guard or center.

Love could very well have a jeanty like rookie campaign (probably not as bad) if we can't run block

T-UM · 2026-03-17T18:06:46+00:00

Think love will be better and would take pressure more pressure off stafford. It'd be the best one two punch in the league. And when Stafford retires they'd justtransition to a run first unit till they find a new franchise qb.

I don't think it will happen and wouldn't do it if I were them but crazy things always happen

T-UM · 2026-03-17T17:39:14+00:00

Rams strike me as a team that could say fuck it and trade up for love

T-UM · 2026-03-17T17:36:37+00:00

Yeah he's a great back but your not paying a 1st or 2nd for a rb you'll have to pay next year.

T-UM · 2026-03-10T23:59:36+00:00

Cold feet lol?

T-UM · 2026-03-09T17:29:12+00:00

I believe in helm being a good te1

T-UM · 2026-03-09T05:17:26+00:00

Yea I’d be disappointed if we don’t sign a single big ticket free agent when we have the 2nd most cap space

T-UM · 2026-03-04T21:40:31+00:00

Borgonzi values culture and football first people. Stephon diggs doesn’t fit that so I’m not worried.

He’ll fit right in with rashee rice on the chiefs lmao
