Really like hearing they're interested in Center, WR and RB for free agency.

Obviously we all wanted them to get a vet in there at C so that's big, now lets hope Poles can open up that wallet for a legit one and we can all stop worrying about C like we have since the O.Kreutz days.

WR most likely won't be on the tier 1 level and more about getting a slot receiver or a #3/#4 type in here and taking care of getting a guy to play opposite DJ in the draft, but maybe they go for someone like C.Ridley or M.Brown.

Please get us a RB in free agency that can do it all. We need a guy that can catch and has speed to break the long TD runs.

What about Tony Pollard on a reasonable two year deal? He needs to be the lead back in a committee…not the 250 carry guy they made him this year.
Yep, like he was his first couple of years playing behind Zeke. Love the idea of signing him and i do think he could step in and be the full time RB if needed like if Herbert got hurt.

Yes but not the best RB draft, but RB's drafted late from small schools surprise all the time so i'd be down with drafting one in the 5th or 6th.

If his leg is fully healed. He was nowhere near as explosive last year. But he will be cheap. It’s risky though. The 2022 Pollard was a stud until his gruesome injury in the playoffs happened. Cowboys likely win that game if he stays healthy. Elliot was just awful in that game

That’s kinda what I’m banking on…. a bounceback year from the injury. Maybe they even get him on a one year deal. Cowboys will be hard pressed to sign him again.

Really hoping we hear about JJ today. He still hasn’t been tagged.

Jayden should be screaming right now. Absolutely the worst spot for him. What makes the raiders think getsky can coach jayden when he was clueless calling plays for justins skillset?
He's going to go before then.

Didnt the report say they are discussing trading into the top 3? That would be NE swapping, which would mean daniels.




You could just get pro bowl RB Swift who the lions got rid of who's basically gibbs.
5-7 was as high as the report thought they could get.

The options at WR in FA aren't great. So I'm still not sure if we try to draft one with our second pick or take a pass rusher.

Maybe not for a 2, but both boyd and samuel are very good options in the slot.

If you are looking for a #2 option, ridley is as close as you get. I expect them to take WR at 9, so really it should just be looking for the best slot fit in FA.

They need multiple WR’s. They simply have to sign someone. Guessing more of a “wave 2-3” guy. Agreed it’s not a great group

Would mean JJ, which would be great news for a WR at 9. ALSO a terrible fit for getsky imo, JJ's excels outside the pocket.

Cowboys likely aren’t bringing him back.
