I'm several days late, but @Absolutego I wanted Tyler Lockett back. I had some hope when they forcibly retired Carroll, but no.
 
No return on CMC, and no return on Brian Burns. Scott Fitterer should be taken to Carowinds and burned publicly in their little state line plaza. Fucker.

John Schneider can be confusing sometimes (I have absolutely no idea what we're planning at linebacker and increasingly think he's banking on drafting another Bobby Wagner this spring, which is lunacy) but he was never going to let the best WR we've had since Largent leave the building in free agency.
Tyler will play for the Seahawks until he retires sometime in his early 40's.

I was banking on the Seahawks not having the cap to keep him. You're really killing my dream of playing for KSU and the Chiefs becoming a Lockett family tradition.

I've seen what Mahomes can do when he has actual weapons to work with and the longer we delay that from happening, the better.

Howell is going to be one of those backups that comes in and looks like prime Favre for about two quarters.

We fired Pete and Canales is coaching the Panthers now, we don't have a QB guru in-house anymore.
If anything I expect Howell to look more like Russ in taking awful sacks and generally making his line look bad. Even odds he starts the year as QB3, behind someone like Penix.

Desmond Ridder and Sam Howell have been traded to the Cardinals and Seahawks respectively.

Sitting behind Geno isn't a terrible idea, but I fail to see what Sam is really gonna do. He's a big boy, so maybe he can be an okay read-option threat? I dunno. As for linebacker, there's a few goodies in the draft, we'll probably land at least one... but I don't understand why we got rid of the best one we had...

Which is unfortunate because Canales got Baker to stop doing stupid shit and Howell needs the exact same magic.

Baker and Howell are the only two QBs I've ever seen go "ok let me just stiff arm this 360-lb DT and then I'm clear"

Pretty surprising. I thought no one would be leaving the Rams after the year they've had. Perhaps this has to do with the pay cut he was asked to take?

The pay cut was to lessen the impact of him retiring. He's got nothing left to prove.
Hate that he played for the Rams but as a young fan who thought John Randle was the hottest shit I have a soft spot for dominating undersized DTs. Curious to see if this is the year McVay goes on his John Madden arc or if he waits for Stafford to get properly old and busted before he bails too.

Yeah he had agreed to restructure his deal a few hours before retiring

I will not be drafting Herbert this year. 😄

This FA season has been wild as fuck so far.

So much for the Steelah’s “having faith in Kenny and are giving him a Pro to learn behind”.

Odds they’re going to try and go all in with all the cap space Russ’s deal gives them to play with, or is Tomlin just going to drag them to mediocrity again?
