Likely an EB driven move

Wow. Little surprised

Washington released RB JD McKissic and tendered a qualifying offer to S Jeremy Reaves. Both moves have been expected tho ideally they’d like to sign Reaves to a multi-year deal. Team announced the moves.

Same about McKissic's injuries because when healthy....

Damn, McKissic ditches the Bills to come back to us. Then we cut his ass the next year. The business of football gives zero fucks.

I know -- it's brutal. But with the injuries he keeps having, you have to wonder how much longer he'll be able to play (if at all).

[punch it in]

K
CB
RG(Cosmi?)
LG
LT (leno is a liability)
QB-2
TE (can LT return to form? And stay healthy?)
S
LB

These areas still need addressing at starter or depth. A few will be addressed in the draft. Im hoping for a couple day 1-2 on the oline. That is an absolute necessity. LB too.

McKissic should retire for health purposes. But I absolutely loved him in 2020 and 21 until the injury. Was just super clutch. Real shame about the injuries.

I don't think our draft needs have changed all that much overall. I think we can draft 1 less OL, but other than that, still need all the other positions and at least 1 more OL (I prefer 2).

Agreed. My mocks were definitely 3 deep on the line. Now they are 1-2. With basically a rookie quarterback I really want it cemented over anything else.

Yeah, even if we drafted 2 more OL and neither started, the whole group needed an overhaul altogether anyways.

Leno, Gates, Chase, Cosmi, Wylie as the starting 5 with Drafted LT, Drafted G, and Chris Paul as the backups would be an improvement. If Larsen is still eligible for the practice squad, I'd try to bring him back too.

Sleeper pick at 16 is the best TE in the draft. EB pick

Agreed.

Honestly the sale of the team kinda overshadows every other offseason moves, but IMO so far we're having the best offseason we could realisticly have hoped for. Unexpectedly managed to extend Payne, signed 2 solid Olinemen, brought a vet ILB, and already improved CB depth... With a lot of time left to make some moves before the draft, and the draft, we could have a way more complete that expected roster come July !

I'd be totally fine with drafting a TE in any round. I love Thomas, but he's totally replaceable at this time. And outside of Bates, all the other TE's are "potential" type guys. I think that's an undercover weakness on the roster.

Agree. I have zero complaints about who we have signed or not signed at this point. I'm as satisfied as I can be.

I especially like that we have opened up the draft to go more BPA overall than we might have been able to before getting Wylie and Gates.
