After watching Hockenson last week, had a little buyer's remorse. He would have fit well.

Just gave Knox a huge extension
There was no chance we’d bring in Hock

Howard Simon wanted Hockenson really, really, badly, if he had fallen to 9.

Broncos leading the league in points against. What's their record again?
- Wetbandit1


It’s not Denver’s fault,
the officiating against them has been horrible
🤣🤣🤣

He’s a great player, no doubt
Probably the 3rd best TE in the league right now
(Kelce, Andrews)

I’d never draft a TE in the top10 though
Probably not even in the 1st round

*and Howard Simon is a dope, lol

What would you give up for Hockenson? Gabe Davis and a 2nd?

Knox would have to go back the other way
We can’t pay 2 TEs

Panthers outshooting blue jackets 42-18, they have been “in control” for the great majority of play. They’re Losing 4-2 with 10 minutes left in 3rd.
Hockey can be so aggravating

No, way too much

I don’t think I’d pay to upgrade from Knox to Hockenson
Knox is fine- when we use him

Got Cap issues as is

Here’s the real question: would you move Diggs this off-season? He’s clearly very angry about his targets or lack thereof.

Columbus does.

Edit: just kidding around, but they must have more hits, as FL has had the puck the whole damn game.

Either that, or they have the better goalie tonight

Goaltending means nothing. Ask sbroads, lacrapruns, and sabresfan69. It’s all about heart and how much you fight when your teammate gets hit from behind.

“Something major is developing in Van City... People noticed something was different regarding the inside design of Rogers Arena during the Canucks practice yesterday. The banners for the franchise's faces have been taken down. All of them...
Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes, Bo Horvat, J.T. Miller, Thatcher Demko, and Brock Boeser all had their banners removed, and it does not seem like new ones will be placed. Here is a picture of one of the banners with Pettersson, Demko, and Hughes. Everyone, including their head coach Bruce Boudreau, seems to be in hot water given the way this season has started”

Not that Adam’s will do anything, vibes and all, but who would fit? Who would ya like?

- Gr8daygo


Luke Schenn for sure. Horvat if he agreed to a reasonable contract.

Diggs is the 2nd most targeted WR in the league

Sure, he was frustrated in the 1st half today, but the offense was struggling
I’m sure he wasn’t the only one

That said….
If we could get a return for Diggs like KC got for Tyreek, then i consider it
Idk that Diggs stay elite for the length of his contract, he is getting to the age when many WRs start to drop off

And we could use the Cap space

Lol
I was just kidding too
I was fairly sure you’d remember my take on whether or not having the most hits matters

Got some guys we gotta pay or replace,
and we’re already over the Cap for next year

Edmunds, Poyer & Singletary are the biggest names i believe

Our guards haven’t been good this year


EDIT
Beane has been a bit of a wizard with the Cap so far though
Maybe Josh & Diggs can be restructured to give us more room?
Not sure
I haven’t looked into it that deeply

The fans want Edmunds gone, and Singletary isn’t a feature back.

Also, what guards are you looking to spend big money on in free agency?

Edmunds
Idc what the fans want. I’m ok upgrading him, but that won’t be easy- and it’ll cost $$$

Singletary
is a good enough RB- when we actually use him
But we aren’t gonna use an RB enough to need a “feature back”
A guy like Henry isn’t necessary here- as he won’t be used enough to justify what we’d have to pay him
Whether we bring back Singletary, or bring in a different RB in free agency, it’s gonna cost us a bit
We’ll need someone to pit with Cook though

I never said i wanted to spend “big money” on any UFA guards
Just said they need improvement
And i haven’t looked into what Guards would be available either
