Let's talk players

Lots of edge rushers in free agency. Some past their prime, some young enough to be a long time fix. Do we have the money? Are they an improvement to what we have? Maybe. We need someone to consistently get to the QB.

I would not be opposed to trading a valuable asset and two 2nd round picks for Maxx Crosby.

I would consider trading Jonathan Taylor if it meant getting a bona fide pass rusher.

Raiders have a pretty good RB. I doubt they would want JT. I'm honestly not sure we have a player they would be interested in that we don't already have a need for ourselves.

Not sure why we always collapse at the end of the year. Team building? Scheme/Coaching? Combination of both? We either start off slow and catch on a little to late, or like this year, start well and fully implode. This team definitely has some deep rooted issues that need reset.

I am very down on JT. He shit the bed the last half of the season when we needed him the most. My biggest bitch isn't his decrease in running-it can happen and is dependent on line play etc. The first half of the season he was pass blocking like Edge used to. A stud. It disappeared as the season went on, to me that is totally on him. Maybe I read to much into this but to me it shows he isn't dog enough when things are going bad. He is a good running back in a league where good running backs count for very little. He is one of the 'leaders' on a team that has had an epic collapse. We could spend his money more wisely elsewhere on a more complete back who can block and run better pass routes more consistently.
