$15 mill for what he gave us last season. Sheesh…..

Kinda sounds like they may not spend the assets to trade up

New QB, HC's old QB?

I hope not... Sanders is definitely not worth trading up for... He may not even be worth a first. Ward seems to have a higher ceiling but don't know if he will reach that ceiling.

Honestly, neither guy is worth the trade up. With Geno no reason to move up in 2025. Use pick 6 either on Graham the DT, Johnson the CB. Assuming that the 2 QBs go before then. Carter and Hunter will both be gone.

Kind of surprised LV didn’t send Mayer out to get Geno. Seattle could use another TE. Letting Brown go I think. Maybe Fant later.
