  1. 2026 free agent WR class looks grim.

    The best bet is for us to trade a pick for Jakobi Meyers (if possible) so that Maye has a safety valve to throw to, as we currently don’t have a guy like that on the roster.

    People legitimately tried to tell me that Diggs is better than Meyers in 2025, which simply is not true whatsoever if you have eyeballs and look at how each guy is playing. Geno pretty much exclusively targets Meyers in 3rd and long situations. 

    We can’t do that, because Eliot needs another draft pick to waste on a WR bust. It’s tiring at this point.

  2. Why/When did the icon for the subreddit change? I keep thinking this is for the Bills, not the Patriots…
