Looks like the Skins are getting a 3rd for Chase Young.

No excuses for the Niners

D-line wasn't a problem before this. Bosa, Gregory, Ferrell, Jackson already at DE with Armstead, Hargrave, Kinlaw inside. Would've thought they would invest elsewhere where they needed more help?

One other thought on Williams that some may disagree with but I don't care. Everybody is talking about him having his worst season and at 29, saying he may be washed. As for the second part of that, total nonsense. He's got a good 3-4 years left in the tank. As for the first point, do any of you people ever consider where a guy is playing? The Giants are losers who have no idea how to build a roster. They have a bottom 5 QB being paid like a top 10 QB. They have virtually zero weapons outside of an injury riddled RB. Signed a high paid TE, big whoop. And Williams was playing on a Dline that has 2 other guys who get all the glory anyway. Just last week, he had 9 pressures, albeit vs. the Jets woeful O-line and one of those allowed Dexter Lawrence to get the sack because Williams drew the double team.
He is now going to a team that has rebuilt with a ton of talent through the draft and with a winning culture. He has a proven great HC who knows how to get the most out of players and a group of young guys that are hungry to win. He will be rejuvenated and ball out, imo and I think he could be a piece that makes this defense really good.

The Seahawks are getting good enough to dislike again.

I agree but their pass rush hasn't been getting home lately which exposes their secondary to big plays. I think they are worried a little because of this skid they are on.I also think they are matching Seattle's move.

They have been all-in for 2 years now

 

[eaglesnut]

Yeah....a 2nd isn't an expensive price to pay at all.

You said the same thing about the Claypool trade.

What's great about Young going to the 49ers is that there is no way they can afford to resign him. He is literally just a rental.

As a fan of a team that is going to need to sign and edge player or two this offseason, knowing he is going to be available is nice.

Going on 5 years now, tbh.

Another option for Goff when St. Brown and LaPorta get bottled up. THe NFC is getting interesting.

The Raiders need to go after him to put opposite Crosby.

Is he going to earn time over Reynolds and Jameson Williams? Kalif Raymond? Another rental to boot....but it was on the cheap (2025 6th).

Uche is reportedly available from the Pats, could be relatively cheap since he's currently banged up.

Yeah rental but maybe since he had such a down year his price dropped bigtime. Was thinking $10-$12M/year before the start of the year.

Just another weapon for Goff unfortunately he has been terrible

Weird trade, they have a lot of receivers.

Price was right, gives them some injury protection for a playoff run. Plus, he's a different body type, OC could have some ideas to use him.

Good return for the Browns. He was a 6th round pick, he is up for a contract and he didn't produce at all. Very strange bc last year he had a nice season.

(cough)Watson(cough)

He tailed off the last 4 weeks in terms of production last season. Watson doesn't look for him apparently?

Yeah, I guess depth piece more than anything but I also think he will be better than his stats with Cleveland suggest. The Browns have had less than stellar QB play, to say the least. Watson was good for only one game and Walker is well, what he is.
