“I don’t want to pay more money for the same team”

Especially with reports of the Hendrickson deal getting closer to happening with a significant bump in salary. Tee got more expensive, Chase got more expensive, Hendrickson most likely.


What did we really do this offseason? Who did we add that’s going to take us from missing playoffs to playing in the AFC championship game?

Let' see

Changed the OL coach and defenisve coordinator
Signed a DT who is a beast against the run
Signed a guard to start at RG and drafted a rookie to start at LG, our RG in 2024 was one if not the worst starting RG in the NFL
Drafted 2 potential defensive  starters or contributors in 2025

Got back from injury 2 starting CB's who missed most of 2024
Got back best LB who missed a lot of 2024

Get promising 2nd year player Jenkins, Jackson and Mims back so hopefully better in 2025 due to experience plus 2 rookie DT's missed games and practices due to injury
 Year 2 for Gesicki playing with JB, he got better as the year progressed

Our defense has a new leader and it appears is molding his defenive roster. We don't need a top 10 defense overall, we need a top 10 defense stopping the pass and to 20 overall and we will be very good.
