What are your top offseason needs with the Carr signing?

My list hasn't changed much, but I will prioritize Offense a bit more to get him help:

1) RB (I realize this is a devalued position but we do need one bad)
2) DT
3) TE
4) OL depth
5) DE
6) Safety
7) WR depth

Do we have a single DT on the roster right now?

RBs are a dime a dozen, we have a competent TE if you count Johnson, Trautman, and Hill as a complete player.

I'd imagine they cut Kamara and he's no hit on cap unless they don't have an out for him which they're dumb if that's the case.

RB definitely biggest need.

I am talking need, not the order you acquire them.

I think RB and DT are obviously the two biggest needs. Its splitting hairs which is the biggest need.

Because you can find value with RBs later than the 1st round, its not necessarily the first priority to acquire, while still perhaps being the biggest need.

TE?

We have good production at the position.

If Gibbs or Robinson is there you take them in first round, than DT

If MT moves on, I think WR moves up to #3.

Eh. I just think we have been missing that "complete" TE for a very long time and a guy like Carr greatly benefits from one.

I can understand putting one way down the list though.

AK will be under contract with the Saints through 2023. Cutting him saves the team $663k, but if he's suspended, they currently save at least $582k per game suspended. If put on commission exempt list, his entire salary and unpaid bonuses (~$10M) comes off until he's cleared to play. Then you're only dealing with the prorated portion for the season

With that said, his contract and situation are ripe for a restructure. Team does him a favor by reducing his salary to vet minimum to minimize how much money he loses for each game suspended. He helps the team out by letting them kick the cap hits down the line.

I think we can focus on RB in the draft

Offensive line (specifically Guard) just jumped to the front of the line. Followed by Defensive line (tackles more than ends) and safety. Running back is up there but I think you can grab one in the fourth or later.

Sheldon Rankins is a FA and still only 28. Wonder if we can bring him back to pair with Onyamata.

He's only 28? Damn that is an interesting case. Perhaps if you get him on a team friendly deal. Not sure what the Jets signed him for, but maybe?
