I hope he resigns here.
He'll be a FA soon and will command big money especially if he continues playing like he has.

Maybe all that Tru/Tavon/Ogletree money can go towards AD and Sammy.

I'm confident after it's all said and done this year, guys will be buying into McVay's culture hard and will be willing to take a slight pay-cut to stay.

I'm also of the belief that guys like Tavon, Barron, and Quinn will be gone. Plus we have a lot of one year rentals too, so color me optimistic in getting our stars resigned. Could see another huge wave of starters next year with a big push from rookies and second year guys to start. I just get a sense our new regime will not tolerate lackluster play from anyone, regardless of the last name on the back.

So far (yes, it's early) guys like Barron and Quinn have been struggling a bit, and tbh, when Austin muffed that punt I thought to myself, "He's a goner!!" We can find a mid round guy who brings exactly what he brings at a more affordable price. Alec needs to step up, but he's a keeper, and if Tru keeps up his play (although at times he drives me mad with his loose coverage at times). he'll be a keeper too.

My random 2 cents...

I feel like Robert Woods and Sammy Watkins wanna play here hell Trumaine Johnson might even take a pay cut to keep playing here. These guys are having fun and playing exciting football. And on top of that they are winning. We haven't seen the likes of this since the GSOT.

Pierre Garcon was schooling Trumaine Johnson last night.

I wouldn't mind seeing an upgrade over Tru for our 1A cover corner.

I want them to re-sign Sammy but gotta be careful with his history of injury. Let's not get too crazy, I mean just like with Donald they have to keep an eye on the long term bottom line.

I love the guy but he does worry me a bit.

Yeah we saw the real Tru last night. He's not an elite CB you can count on to shut down the opposition's top wideout. Dude is hit and miss with a top draw, is more of a #2 CB on a playoff defense.

This next year's draft is going to be heavy on defense. Maybe FA too if they can't get Donald to agree to a deal, as they might elect to move on by trading him and signing or drafting DL.

I wouldn't mind seeing a top Cornerback in the first round and a Left Tackle prospect in the second.

Every single FA acquistion has performed well.

The draftees that have played sure look like keepers.

Give this front office/coacing staff a few seasons of full drafts and FA moves.

I am most impressed so far.

We could probably get woods cheaper than normal, because he'll be playing back home near his family, and we have a team that gets him the ball, even though there are other options too. Goff is really good about spreading the love.

When I watched the Carolina versus Buffalo game I could clearly see they were missing any type of first string wide receivers.

And now we got them along with their offensive line coach. :D

Woods is here on a 3 year deal though right?

I want a middle linebacker

It's still early but the defensive needs are pretty deep. Not just ILBs but perhaps more importantly a pass rushing OLB edge guy, probably a big slab of beef or two for the DL rotation to stuff the damn run, and CB along with safeties.

Defense might very well rebound and our thoughts on needs will change with it. But right now meh. Looks like a heavy defense offseason might be needed.
