Real one
We need pass rush
With that money they have no excuses NOT to get Brice hall
👍
Real one
REAL ONE
NOTI GANG
Cut Ashton Gillotte, Jack Cochrane, Mike Caliendo & Clyde Edward-Helaire

Real one
Micah Parsons (Defensive Edge Rusher)!!!

Draft Jeremiyah Love(RB) !!!
Dump Taylor.
But Spags will want to keep Tranquil
Good video but I'd rather keep taekwond Thornton and Tyreek Hill as our deep threats and I still think worthy is unproven yet.
None of those BREECE HALL😂
Daniel Jones is trash. Easy schedule to start the season got people excited, great running game, dude was the same guy he was in NY
The disastrous cap space is Brett Veach problem.
The cap space analysis is great. Given that, I don’t think that moving on from Drue Tranquil is a necessary move. Even if you get another player in the draft, a rookie is not something we should be placing a starter. We do need to draft a player to work towards replacing Drue but hav8ng Drue around to mentor him would be preferable.😊
Bring Back Tyreek Hill Teem Friendly Deal 💰
Cut OL Mike Caliando! Big Savings!
Keep Tyquan Thornton Team Friendly Deal 💰
Well, you don’t need a old head like Trey Hendrickson who just got off an injury that we’re gonna spend so much money on to try to fix our pass rush needs that’s just not gonna happen
Leave the Jones contract as is so it's easier to just cut him next season. He's no longer elite or even very good so time to move on
Why did brent veach let this happen
Why waste money on old Hendrickson 😒 like bro shut up
Hey Jackson!
Keep Dure Tranquil ! Or tag him
I think Breeze Hall is taken. Bye Jawaan Taylor. He is way to passive. Patricķ that

REAL ONE
trade McDuffy, that will save you a ton.
Let’s go sign, Pierce for Mahomes
Hendrickson is 31 years old and coming off an injury-plagued season. I don't know what the answer is, but I don't think $21 million to $25 million for a 31 year old with decreasing production is the answer. The best answer would be David Bailey, but he may already be gone by the 9th pick.
Forget Pierce keep Thornton and Worthy. Sign Hendrickson.
