Oh I don't doubt they could turn it around and become competitive in that division this year...I just don't know that taking the "spend a ton in FA" route is what they should be doing this offseason if they believe that to be the case. Typically, there's an inverse relationship between the big-spending, free agency "winners" and the teams that actually manage to turn it around a year after a disappointing season. If they believe they're on the verge, they should be building through the draft, establishing Ron's culture and extending players in-house they believe to be worth it, and giving out reasonable, value-based contracts - not going out in FA on a spending spree. Just my opinion obviously

Here's a question for everyone...even though most of us are in the anti-trading Hurst camp... What if a top ~10/15ish, elite-level prospect falls to JAX at 20 and using Hayden along with our 1st would get us up to that spot? I'm talking a Javon Kinlaw/Henry Ruggs/A.J. Epenesa/CeeDee Lamb type guy who's a big time player at a position of need. Would you all pull that trigger?

I mean...how often do "quick one year turnaround" and "tons of cap space so they'll be really aggressive in free agency" go together in the NFL, though?

Yeah...i’d pass on a Hurst trade. Guy does a lot more for our offense than it looks considering he’s a guy who blocks/runs routes pretty interchangeably. When it’s Boyle and Ricard in the game teams know we’re most likely running. Andrews lined up in-line is typically a play action pass because he can’t really block. When Hayden is in the game with either of those 2 looks teams can’t overwhelmingly key in on one or the other.

Agreed. Have to have at least Judon as a guaranteed backup plan...tag him, go after Clowney or Fowler and see what’s what

AJ Green/Joe Mixon are beasts Can’t really hate on a guy like Casey Heyward I enjoy watching the circus/antics of the Browns’ players off the field/on the sideline if that counts

Yeah, agree with all of that. Feels like a different Terps team this year in that we've actually cut down turnovers, have some semblance of a halfcourt offense, and can actually win on the road, but like you said - that stretch is tough. I'd honestly be very pleased with a 3-2 finish...expecting 2-3 though.

Waiting for the inevitable collapse from Maryland these last 5 games to drop us from a 2 seed in the tourney to like a 4 seed CANT WAIT

Compensatory picks should be announced today. Should be looking at 2 4th's in all likelihood. Thanks, Mosley

He's always been that way, though. Even when Ben was peak Ben, and a top 5 QB in the NFL, he was always prone to those dramatic, look-at-me, please love & respect me soundbytes/moments. Just the way dude is...loves attention. Doesn't take anything away from him as a player, obviously. But Ben loves him some attention lol.

^ yuck

So now that there’s no tangible difference between a 2 and 4 seed division winner, there’s going to be hella teams resting starters week 17 from now on because they have a home playoff game locked up, but they won’t get a first round playoff bye, right?

Wonder if the NFL ever tested Kareem after he admitted he'd fail on that dashcam lol

@sp6488 @BaltimoreTerp Penn St losing last night was huge...Terps win 3/5 to end the season and we may be looking at a 2 seed?!? I am still very much a Turgeon hater but this year feels kind of different, no?
