He is on his second contract with us.

In 2024 he signed a 1 year deal with us. After playing well enough but not crazy to get a huge contract, we signed him to a modest 3 year deal running from 2025 to 2027.

There's only a 30 sack difference between them, and Peppers has 2 years played on Cam. That's pretty fricking close to equal production, though Peppers does have the edge.

Cam has been a monster his whole career as well, but has always been underrated by most.

He's on his second contract with us now, for 2 more years, cheap for his position.

People are nuts if they thought he looked bad in preseason. Yes at times he looked like a rookie, but he was making BIG TIME throws even back in preseason. You could see he had the reading ability and the arm strength and touch to get the ball anywhere on the field from jump.

I get he may have needed more time to learn the playbook, but he always looked miles ahead of Rattler as a player on the field and imo it was still stupid not to start him immediately, even if it came with growing pains. Rattler never gave us the best chance to win.

Did some more checking, and extending Jordan, Davis, and Olave, in addition to the restructures and carryover, gets us to around $76 mil in cap space, so yeah we can go pretty deep if we want to grab up certain players.

This looks like a thinner FA overall, but there are definitely certain guys at certain spots that would make sense to go in on.

Going back to Shaheed and just how much being in Seattle may have tanked his value, he played 9 games for both teams (started 9 for us and 4 for Seattle). This was his stats at each:

Saints
66 targets, 44 catches, 499 yards receiving, and 2 tds

Seahawks
26 targets, 15 catches, 188 yards receiving

He did have 1 big run with Seattle for 31 yards, but was otherwise mostly a dud compared to how he was being used here. 40 fewer targets and 29 fewer catches is a stark difference.

All the more reason to try to keep DD and Cam around.

That much turnover at HC is never good for any organization.

Our Tackles were not the issue. We need a guard (or 2) and McCoy to stay healthy.

Don't think there is a guard to take at 8, which is why I think we just go pure bpa at 8 and address guard in round 2.

Wouldn't say he would fix it, but he would be a nice piece. Think we would still need that absolute alpha type. Olave has proven very good, but that small body type receiver only gets you so far (with very few exceptions throughout the years). He's no Steve Smith, for instance.

Yes. It’s 2026 boomer. That’s easy money for today’s college kickers, much less the pros.

Idiot. Even last year the % from 50+ yards was 72.5%, far from easy. Can't find this year yet nor the data from 55+, but that's an even harder distance and still rarely tried comparatively because of it.
