Re: 2022 off season thread part 1
I'd say at this stage (before end of season cuts etc.) the only things we can speculate on are coaching changes and our own FA's. Aside from maybe a position coach or two getting offered, I don't see Turner or JDR being fired or headhunted. That leaves FA's. I'd split those (and this is based on the assumption our own FA's would all want to re-sign for more money):
Must re-sign: McKissick - too versatile to let go with no clear replacement Slye - if nothing else we need a proven #1 kicker going into the offseason. He's done nothing wrong, as I see it, not to come back. Settle - I don't agree he's better than Payne, but there's no great drop off of talent. And Payne is prime trade material at this point. Re-sign if cap friendly: Scherff - On the one hand he has been oft injured but on the other he's Pro Bowl talent and arguably the anchor of the OL. Tough one as we're better with him in, but not worth mortgaging the future on a G. McCain - Mixed bag this season but he was never touted as the saviour of the secondary. If he wants to re-sign and realistic in expectations, I'd bring him back. Larsen - Good depth on OL notably at C. But not good enough to stretch to more than league average for 2nd string. Roberts & McTyer - good depth at CB with some flashes but not enough to go overboard on new deals. Humphries, Carter & Sims - None of them are must haves, though if I HAD to take 2 from 3, it would be Humphries & Carter. Humphries has played tough and been a better signing than Samuel. Carter has done OK at WR but given us a real spark in the return game (remember Sims last year...). I like Cam Sims, but I can't see him ever being more than depth. Don't bother: Bates' progress makes Seals-Jones expendable though I'd still draft a TE if we can, or bring in an equivalent FA. I don't see the point in bringing back Allen except as camp fodder; if he couldn't displace TH he isn't even a good option at backup. The rest are JAG's. Extend Maclaurin as a priority, but that's a no brainer. I'd like to see Collins back as a hybrid LB, but it would have to be on a much better reworked deal, else he's a cap casualty if he refuses. Jeez, do we have 2 massive holes at QB and MLB (I'd argue the 2nd most important positions on the team). This made me laugh - https://www.nfl.com/news/2022-nfl-dr...regular-season. No, OL and WR are NOT 2 of our biggest needs at this stage. Yes they are a concern, but a true leader at MLB is a far bigger issue than those 2 positions. |

Re: 2022 off season thread part 1
Having read many of the responses, I kind of have to modify my opinion a little. I would like to see Sherff back but I am seeing the same things as we saw with Cousins. He says he wants to end his career here but has turned down every contract offer. I agree with the injury concerns several posters have and there is a point where the cost is not worth the investment.
Cousins did and said the same things. He was never going to stay in Washington and wanted to go to the Vikings. I stand corrected as to where Cousins went to college. As for quarterback, Watson would be really, really expensive and really, really good. From a couple things I have read, I question whether he would come here willingly. I have read that he wants to go to Miami although I understand the coach he liked got fired. I also read that if that coach wound up in Philly, Watson would probably be headed there. In that case, Washington and New York could be occupying the bottom two places for many years to come. I hope they dump Samuels. He has been a wasted acquisition. |

Good point about protecting comp pick(s) if Scherff and Settle walk. https://www.hogshaven.com/2022/1/6/2...ming-offseason

Ron Rivera jokes about drafting a rookie QB, "If we draft him, are you guys going to be patient enough to give me two seasons?"

We are giving him and his hand picked octogenarian buddies in the FO a do over for last years roster mistakes. Ron hasnt seen ugly yet but go ahead and continue to not address the QB play, ignore good LBs in FA only to over reach for one with the 19th overall ... see what the fuck happens if your boy JDR dont figure out how to defend the pass and pressure the QB in 2022 Ron. Find out Ron. See what happens Ron. Your 1 year amnesty bc you had cancer is about to expire. This mother fucker talking about "will the fanbase be patient with me?" Fucking find out. Ron. |

WFT Martin Mayhew said of Brandon Scherff: "Fans should know we made every effort to get something done and we'll continue to work on that. We made an offer for him to be the highest paid offensive guard in the history of the NFL. We'll keep that dialogue to see where things go."

That's an easy code to crack. Thanks for the memories and the All-Pro's, go get paid while you can. I just hope we can part on good terms with him. If he gets paid top dollar that will help the case for a good comp pick.

Love the player, but injuries, age, and a ridiculous contract for a guard are all good enough reasons to let him move on. |
