I don’t blame Adams one bit. He’s been a good soldier in a shit situation. That organization is trash, and while I think Pierce can turn it around, it’s not going to be soon. Adams wants to win soon (which likely means NOT coming to DC anytime soon lol)….

Why not?

This is Year 1 of 3 with Jayden on his rookie cap hit. His cap hits are $7M, $8.5M, and $10M thru 2026.

It is absolutely incumbent on AP to load up in this 3 year window to make runs each and every year before Jayden's cap hit starts to balloon and we need young guys to replace older vets. The best way for guys like St. Juste, Javontae Jean-Baptiste, Jordan Magee and Luke McCaffrey to develop is to have Charvarius Ward, Haason Reddick/Josh Sweat, Bobby Wagner, and Davante Adams in the locker room for them to watch and learn from.

This is a playoff year my man. The window in Washington is wide open.
To me it feels like next offseason is the year to start going for it with moves like that. I mean unless it’s to acquire a young core guy.

I'm not saying don't improve the roster. I'm saying let's use our cap space and top picks to shore up our several glaring weaknesses first and foremost, not dump $30m in a redundant spot.

If JD keeps this up, every FA #2 receiver in the league is going to want that spot. We can get a real upgrade for WAAAAYYYYY less money. With a mobile QB dodging pressure making OL easier to play, every FA OL is going to want these spots -- becoming fixtures on the line of the next Lamar or Mahomes for the next X years.

We will likely have our pick of the litter, so let's use that to our advantage and NOT overpay for a 32-year-old that just took a huge shit on our city and fanbase.

If you are a receiver, you don't need to watch Adams play to learn how. They mostly already know how, and Terry is a MUCH better and younger role model that's already here for less money. Their QB is also known for developing good relationships with his guys. If Ertz loses more mobility and can't go next year, there'll be another guy just like him available to mentor Sinnott if that's necessary.

You add guys like Wagner and Luvu to run the defense on the field, which they can only do impressively if they have better talent around them. So yeah, definitely more of that, spend our money on actual impact players at spots where we currently have ZERO talent, CB and Edge chief among them. We can add a great wideout for a fraction of the money in free agency.

This is where I'm at as well and how I felt about Aiyuk -- if an opportunity that's too good to pass up becomes available you do it but no need to force things now. Going after the big name has burnt this organization too many times to count. Lets give it a couple more weeks to see how serious this run really is, until then keep your powder dry for this summer.

Coleman is going to be a stud. He's developing really nicely.

LMcC also, going to be a real contributor. #2 WR next year IMO.
