Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread

The most infuriating thing about deions shortlist is Washington is on it. Seriously WTF that is a garbage ass franchise. You're right.

Re: Ryan Poles Presser

Obviously I was a “Fields believer” but credit to Poles, the way he has “De-Beared” this teams recruitment strategy has been very impressive. Salary cap - sorted Draft capital - sorted QB clock - reset Age of team - drastically reduced. Those had to be his main aims and he’s done a great job turnin...

Re: IOL thoughts

He did but of course the situation was different. It was midseason and Sweat would have hit free agency at the end of the year. He'd also been working on an extension for Johnson for some time at that point and even thought he was closing in on a deal but it didn't materialise. He knew he wanted to...

Re: IOL thoughts

But the bigger question is can TJ be extended? My belief is Poles has handled the extension of two of his best homegrown players so far so I have no reason to believe he can't get a deal done with Jenkins that suits both parties. But until it's done all we know is he's in the final year of his curr...

Re: IOL thoughts

Jenkins missed time last season but not due to recurrences of previous injuries.

Re: IOL thoughts

With regards to Jenkins' availability, it's worth noting in the past two seasons he's played in 25 games the exact same number as Jaylon Johnson who's just signed a lucrative 4 year extension. Correct. The availability issue is a hangover narrative from his rookie year concerns that are well behind...

Harbaugh is crazy. I'm half surprised they didn't trade Herbert - the fit with him and Roman seems odd to me. Harbaugh is like Parcells/Darth Vader in that he wants "his guys", and it's his personnel moves that will ultimately do him in IMO. He likes his "try hard guys" who will...

One of the best corners in the game traded for a very small return. We keep seeing this happen, its an interesting recent trend.

I don't either. Although I wouldn't rule it out if Poles trades down. Poles has also expressed his satisfaction with Jones development from a 5th round pick to a rookie starter at LT and in his improvement in year two. If I had to project an OL in round one is would be one of those more like Darnel...
