They do need the picks.
The Browns and Jets both have multiple 1st round picks. We have no QB. We need all the capital we can get to make sure we get out of quarterback purgatory. Nothing else concerns me.
Certainly not hanging on to a 29 year old disgruntled speed rusher that averages 8...
Sweat is a 29 year old speed rusher that has played about 60% of available snaps in his career.
Sweat isn't a foundation of anything, he's a Edge #2 on a playoff quality team. He's Alex Highsmith but with 15% less snaps.
We have no QB. By the time we have a QB worth anything Sweat will be a...
No
Although it depends on what people's expectations are I guess. I expect us to be interesting to watch and somewhat competitive, but still be in the toughest division in football and not have a franchise QB.
I see a 5 win season at best.
This thread is mad. Sweat average 8 sacks a season and plays about 60% of snaps. He's a #2 Edge on a playoff team.
He's unhappy for several reasons, not least of which is we fired the reason he came here a year ago. With Josh Sweat this team had the 29th ranked defense but you're talking about...
I'm pretty sure I said I expect Sweat to have a down year and explained why. In which case the limited talent I expect him to show isn't worth much.
He clearly stopped playing as soon as we started getting whooped. At the start of the year when we were in games his stats were much better...
You think anyone in the league is paying any attention to this? Do you think anyone in the wider NFL fandom is?
The only people paying attention are people who want to use it to manufacturer another reason to attack the org. I expect when it matters, in a few weeks time, he'll be back out there...
But you have no idea what is happening. So any idea that he's "flubbed it" is pure bias.
Brissett might have a perfectly reasonable offer. He may have had it for weeks. He might just be dragging his heels on saying OK because it gives him an excuse to miss not really voluntary OTAs. Which...
Yes. I'll explain why.
I have concerns about Sweat this year. I don't believe he asked for a trade, but I can imagine he's not happy. He's 29 years old and he's guaranteed a losing season.
From what I have seen of his he doesn't strike me as they "I'm going to do the job 100% no matter what...
