1. Should they trade up for Haskins, pay big bucks for a free agent like Flacco or trade for Nick Foles?
2. What to do with Leonard Fournette. Should they keep him or cut their losses by trading him for another 3rd round draft pick?
3. Should they cut Jeremy Parnell to save salary cap money?
My preferences would be to trade up for Haskins even if it means giving up next year's first rounder, keep Fournette unless they get offered a 2nd rounder (very, very unlikely) and keep Parnell. My guess is most would let Parnell go, but who will take his place? We saw what can happen when the offensive line becomes decimated and can they trust Will Richardson or a rookie to start right away?
What would be your top 3 decisions?
1. Trade up and get Haskins, definitely. Then, I offer a 2 year deal with low end starter money to RFA Kevin Hogan. He would be our starter to begin the season while Haskins gets used to the NFL. Hopefully, Haskins would be ready by week 10 at the latest.
2. Personally, I would try to trade him. I have been frustrated by his behavior, but what has bothered me mostly is his inability to stay on the field. The guy is always injured. If I can get a 3rd round pick, I take it and draft a RB. This class is loaded with RB talent.
3. I'm on the fence about Parnell. I definitely wanna draft a RG and a swing Tackle in that 2nd to 4th round area and Malik Jackson is definitely gone. I'd have to wait and see what Will Richardson does in mini camps and probably the preseason, before I make a decision on Parnell.
My top 3 decisions would be to:
1. Fire Marrone, Caldwell and Coughlin. I then hire Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy as the head coach. Hopefully, he brings in Kafka as his OC. I also bring in some younger guys with fresh ideas to interview for the GM job.
2. Move up as high as possible in the draft to select Haskins.
3. What to do with Jalen Ramsey? He's gonna want QB money and there is no way I pay that to a CB. He's also the kinda guy who will holdout. Personally, I shop him, but I take no lower than a 1st and a 3rd and a decent starting caliber player in return. If we get that, I deal him. I believe we have the talent in the secondary to cover for his loss and I would use one of those picks we get in return, to draft his replacement.
My good god.. [BLEEP] is with people wanting to trade away the best player on this team... We finally have a young and truly Elite player and you want to ship him off when he's only 3 years into his career. He's only 24 and is just starting to hit his physical prime.... Some of the stupidest [BLEEP] I've ever heard.
The highest QB contract is Matt Ryan's at 5 years, $150m. The 2nd highest is Garoppolo's at 5 years, $137.5m.
The highest CB contract is Josh Norman's at 5 years, $75m. The 2nd highest is Trumaine Johnson's at 5 years, $72.5m.
You honestly believe Ramsey is going to want double of the highest CB? Or that this team, or any team would actually even think about paying that? Hell no. He'll be the highest paid CB when it's said and done, but he isn't going to double the amount of the already highest CB contract in the league. That's just simply foolish to even think of man.
He'll likely get something along the lines of 5 years, $80m.
