Must re-sign Ertz, Wagner, and Chinn. All three filled immediate needs. I like Sinnott but I wanna see him take the job from Ertz and until then, stick with the veteran.
I'm fine letting Dyami Brown walk. He had a couple nice playoff games but he's still no better than a WR4 on a good team, MAYBE WR3 at best if you wanna be generous. We need a legitimate threat opposite McLaurin.
Go hard for Tee Higgins in FA. He's exactly what we need: a big high volume possession WR who also happens to have explosive downfield ability. He'll be expensive but could take us over the top on offense. We could set records with him and a real RB in the draft.

We're projected to have the 3rd most cap space. Hopefully, Harris will open up the bank account for some good signing bonuses.
I'd agree with keeping Chinn, Wagner, and Ertz. I'd add Way as somebody to keep.
I think Brown is a #3 WR in the NFL. Looking at the Eagles, I think he's better than Dotson. If they can get him for #3 money, I'd do it.
I think Lucas is a useful player. I'd hope he'd not be our starting LT, but again to me it is a matter of what the money is. There seems to be a sense that Mariota has really helped Daniels and has accepted a back up role. I'm not sure you can easily do better out there, so I'd be good with resigning Mariota.
Higgins injuries the last 2 years worry me.

We need a bonafide LT to protect JD5s blind side.
While drafting one would be a good idea, I'd really like to throw money at Alaric Jackson from the Rams. Dude has been really impressive and is only going to be 26 come the 2025 season. Shore up the line some more for JD5 and the kid will do even more wonders next year.

Brown is barely better then a JAG and it took him four years to get there. He's AT BEST a WR3 on a good team but he's really a WR4. Let some other team fall in love with his two good playoff games and overpay him.
We seem committed to Coleman developing at LT, but it wouldn't shock me if we tried to upgrade at RT. Interior OL is rock solid at worst and top 3-5 in the league at best.

I am not as sold as you are about the interior OL. BadAss was a great signing and a big improvement, but nobody is confusing him with another Dwight Stephenson. Alagretti is average in every sense of the word and Sam Cosmi is one of the few players on this team to not live up to expectations. I figured this was his year to take the next step to very good/great and if anything he reverted and it not anything close to great.Warhead36 wrote: Wed Jan 29, 2025 10:29 amBrown is barely better then a JAG and it took him four years to get there.

There are a lot of really good OGs in free agency. I'd like to start with an upgrade at LG. We need better than average.

I figured this was his year to take the next step to very good/great and he actually played worse this season and is not anything close to great and now his knee is wrecked. I don't see that group as anyting close to rock solid or top 3-5 in the league when they don't have one great player and they have one who is average.Warhead36 wrote: Wed Jan 29, 2025 10:29 amBrown is barely better then a JAG and it took him four years to get there.

There are a lot of really good OGs in free agency. I'd like to start with an upgrade at guard. We need better than average and Cosmi may not start the season healthy.

Interior is NOT rock solid, Cosmi is injured and probably won’t be ready for week 1 and Allegretti is what we thought he was, a great backup below average starter… yeah we could do worse and Wylie would be my upgrade target, but interior beef is a major need…Warhead36 wrote: Wed Jan 29, 2025 10:29 amBrown is barely better then a JAG and it took him four years to get there.
