Also FWIW they get Caleb Williams medicals on 3/20 so it’s possible they have a deal worked out and are waiting for that date to pull the trigger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ward4HOF Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 3 minutes ago, jebrick said: Trade for fields and have him sit? Not necessarily. It's obvious, the team is going to make the decisions that make the most sense to them, or rather, give them the best chance to win. I'd bring in Fields, and let him and Wilson compete. I know Wilson has mentioned having another 5-7 years of football in him, and that's great for him, but he's signed for $1.2M. Sure would be a nice problem to have, to have Fields on board, and regardless of what happens, we're not left with the only option to sign Wilson to an outrageous contract for his age 36 season and beyond, even at $25M, because I get the distinct impression that Wilson is not going to re-sign for less than that. Otherwise, we bring Tannehill in cheap, or Dobbs, and as mentioned, draft a guy with promise. IF we are to believe the projection, someone like Sam Hartman, who is described as intelligent, with excellent pre-snap reads, with excellent touch, and ball placement. His 'faulty' mechanics can be coached up. His problem is he'll be 25 as a rookie, but heck, 25 is a lot younger than 35...and would be extremely inexpensive as well. We also have time to wait on someone like Jordan Travis, as well...just some options I'm looking at. Apparently, Michael Pratt is almost custom-made to run an Arthur Smith/RPO-type offense. I'd rather go one of those three, then try to 'force' a Nix/Penix/McCarthy as a Rd 1 talent, like we did with Pickett. I think, ultimately, bringing in Dobbs would be ideal, especially with Hartman, another cerebral player, even if not overlay athletic, but if they like Fields for us as our future, I wouldn't be upset...Russell, might be, but too bad.

August4th Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 even if Fields is our QB2, we can use in packages near the goal line and 3rd and short. 3rd and 3 and we have Fields at QB, Harris at RB, a FB and Washington at TE.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
