Funny you should say that about Metchie - he and BY had a pretty good chemistry at Alabama.
'I want to upgrade our entire team': Texans talk biggest spending spree in NFL
The Texans had a league-high in guaranteed money spent to mainly upgrade the defensive side of the ball.

"I want to upgrade our entire team and continue to get better, and I think that's what you have to do each and every year," Ryans said. "So every year we'll be trying to upgrade, we'll try to get better and try to find guys that help our team."

Let's recap what Caserio did with this Cleveland 1st round pick (23):
He traded pick #23 for: S. Diggs, pick #42, Minnesota's 6th, Buffalo's 5th, Buffalo's 6th.
Anybody got a problem with that value?

What a difference a quality QB can make..."It's fun to have those [high] expectations," Cal McNair said. "We embrace them. Basically, we're starting a new season, putting a new team together with DeMeco, and they're starting from scratch. So it's exciting, but we got a lot of work to do."'I want to upgrade our entire team': Texans talk biggest spending spree in NFL

So the Texans wanted Barkley and Allen. Missed on both, were determined to add two playmakers anyways. So they added Mixon and Diggs. Wow they wasn’t going to be denied.

Caserio has said in previous interviews he does not lock in on one specific player. The team ranks players in clusters and if they miss on option one they move to the next guy.
This has become more clear with how the offseason has unfolded. People were upset they weren’t spending big day 1 of free agency. Meanwhile river boat Nick was processing the moves on the chess board. Getting the front 7 upgrades, initiating trades with Vikings and Bengals. Miss on some, but have a contingency plan lined up. That’s our GM!

I considered that but I don't think so. I think he is keying on Derek Brown but that may be just because I want a defensive tackle vet. Best offseason I have had probably ever.

He has put on a clinic this off-season that has most other fan bases looking over the fence.

Hmmm, I might change it to. But then I'd be copying you, who copied me. I've had my Mr. Koolaid one for years. (It's patent pending.) But if it won't confuse people, I guess we could both have it. Ok sold! Wait, you weren't selling me. I was selling myself. I'm so confused now.

Panthers DT Derrick Brown agrees to four-year, $96M contract extension
Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown agreed to a four-year, $96 million contract extension, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Friday.

Brown is very good. But I wouldn't pay that much $$$ to a guy that doesn't rush the passer.

I’d add DT- Jamree Kromah (James Madison- 2 yrs via Rutgers- 3 yrs) to that mix. 6-4 @ 278 lbs….finished 2023 with 10 Sacks as a DT. He should be on the board come RD6 or RD7.

I am thinking he could be an undrafted free agent. Nick does pretty good with those guys also.

Steelers Depot thinks he’d be a fit for their defense in RD6. I’d throw a RD6 or RD7 at him versus competing with other teams for his services should he fall into UDFA pool of players.

Interesting read on CB contracts this offseason:
I suspect Steven Nelson is angling for a contract similar to the deal Chidobe Awuzie signed with the Titans. 3 yrs/36 million 19 million guaranteed.
Nelson has outperformed Awuzie but he’s two years older. He will probably sign somewhere post draft, but I doubt a team will make more than a 1 year commitment to him given his age.
As a side note: I am happy the Titans are overpaying non difference makers like Awuzie, Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley in free agency.

Have the Panthers bit the bullet & accepted they're in rebuild mode? Or do they think they are retooling?
We've got plenty of experience in the CB room. Sting, Henderson, Okada, Bryant... & you still want more experience?
I haven't been able to locate any reports of complaints while they were winning.

Me neither, but that’s usually in the “disgruntled WR complaint” script.

Nah, that should be enuff.
I would say they're spending the money in FA/Trades to give Young the talent around him to be successful.

Well, after seeing the contract they gave Brown, I think they are firmly in the retooling mindset.

for those following at home
1) Trade out of the 1st round
2) manipulate the salary cap from a couple of OLmen
3) Trade for Diggs
