I mean what are they going to say when asked about him "kids a bum, we hate him" ???

This is the worst time of year for football. There are beat reporters everywhere writing feel good stories about guys who will be cut in only a few weeks. Some may never play in the US again. But because they got 10 first team reps on a Thursday in early August when WR1 was out having his hamstring massaged, somebody had to write about him and his potential.

They wouldn't write about him at all if he was a nothing burger, just like Yeldon

there is no way they are going with old shady who is gone next year
old gore who could retire at halftime

and a rookie


they will have 2 rb's on the roster who will be on the roster in 2020

I have seen yeldon play about 30 games, he is not a nothing burger


the reason we lost the playoff game to the jags, was yeldon


but go on

It makes sense to focus on every draft whether you're a playoff team or not. It may be the single biggest factor in determining a team's standing.
- RhinoFan


You're right, and so is boss and flacco. The draft is the centerpiece of the roster foundation. Regardless of position in the order. You just need to do it right.

Bet you 12 sierras they go with Gore Shady and Singletary

I'd be flabbergasted if Gore retired this season if not due to catastrophic injury

Skimming the transcript of Botterill's interview today, I did not get the sense that the roster is set. When he said "we don't need to make a trade", it sounded like they wouldn't make a trade for the sake of getting under the cap. Any trade they make will be to improve the roster, not merely to become cap compliant.

Everything he says publicly is calculated. I miss GMTM interviews.

True. RoR's interviews were refreshing at first too.

Definitely a possibility that it may happen a lot or a little.

Profound statement for a 22 year old.

The future is too far away from the present if we keep focusing on draft capital every year

Lets be honest, we all know who’s responsible (Pegula) it’s just whether people want to accept that or not

He did pick Risto,Mcabe and Girgerson and trade for Larson so I don't see why not.

He’s playing for a contract. At the very least, expect some good effort.

We'd be cap compliant if not for the fact we had to buyout Regier's horrible Hodgson contract
