I mean they "talked about it" which could be code for "he got in Kubiak's face and demanded to know what in the flyin f*ck was he thinking?"

I was shocked by that game. Charbs was running really well early on, then we went away from it and never capitalized with play action off it. I just don't get it. Maybe we need the father not the son.

Let's hope for good reasons to externalize an internal conversation.

Honestly K9 and Woolen are a good pair in a trade for an impact player, we need a standout leader on offense or defense.

You mean like "Great job, Kubes. I knew I can count on you!"
Kubiak : "Oh shucks. Gee Willikers, Mike."

A simple: "next question" would do just fine for questioning reporter.

I was very disappointed by the offense this week but honestly with all the new pieces and no real game experience it will take time to get it right.
What I took from that tweet was Woolen may lose playing time to guys willing to do the work. I thought we should have traded him during the offseason but that never happened

Top 5 guard/c? OLB? NT?

Our OL is set, and we have Murphy the NT, although he wants to play 3 tech. That leaves OLB.
Josh Jobe was doing not too bad at the end of last season. If he's a starter for a few games, I don't sweat it.
Yeah, the gameplan seemed to get off track from what they were promising and doing in pre-season. Went far too pass happy in the middle two quarters.
Ball security a problem I wasn't really expecting. Gotta do that better.

LB. this team is missing a real thumper in the middle of the field.
I gotta say one thing. We might as well find out what we've got in Horton (or not) sooner rather than later. The same for Arroyo, but with a bit less urgency. We need more targets.
Oh and, if I never see us throw another bubble screen it will have been too soon.

I will leave that to the coaches; they know more about those players than we do.

Accountability is important. Let’s see how this shakes out. Woolen has no business starting for this team.

Free agents:
Last season -- with both the Browns and Lions -- Smith had nine sacks and 38 pressures. He's a speed-to-power rusher who can also align as a standup nose or 3-technique to get interior one-on-ones. Smith could help a contender looking for a rotational edge with scheme versatility.
White is an off-ball linebacker with run-and-hit traits, and he had nine tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks last season. He has the pursuit speed to track the ball on the edges, and he has six interceptions, along with 16 pass breakups, in his career. White can be a three-down player for his new team.
TE
Kmet could be available for a strong offer, and his availability will only increase if Chicago pushes toward the trade deadline without a winning record. The five-year veteran could become a cap casualty in 2026.
The Bears could trade Kmet in the offseason and save $8.4 million in 2026 cap space. Trading him now would save $9.9 million in 2025 cap space.
A lot will depend on whether Loveland keeps Kmet from having a significant role in Chicago—as Brock Bowers did to former second-round pick Michael Mayer in Las Vegas. The Bears, though, can expect a much stronger trade package than what the Raiders might expect for Mayer.
Kmet has racked up 2,592 receiving yards in five years. Given his production and age (26), his value should be closer to what we saw Deebo Samuel command (5th-round pick) than what the Miami Dolphins got for tight end Jonnu Smith (6th-round pick). https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25244120-2025-nfl-trade-block-big-board-entering-week-1
TE
There may not be a significant talent gap between Kmet and Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts.
Though Pitts flashed elite potential with a 1,026-yard rookie season, his lack of a long-term role in Atlanta could make him a more realistic trade target early in the year.
The 24-year-old is in a contract year and has not cemented himself as a long-term piece of Atlanta's puzzle. Atlanta can probably expect to get a high Day-3 selection that can become a Day-2 pick if Pitts returns to a Pro Bowl level of production. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25244120-2025-nfl-trade-block-big-board-entering-week-1
MY CHOICE, OLB
The Giants are more likely to make Neal available than pass-rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux, at least early in the season.
A pass-rushing trio of Thibodeaux, Brian Burns and rookie Abdul Carter could help put a few much-needed wins on the board.
Financially, though, keeping all three players for the long term will be difficult. Burns is already on a five-year, $141 million contract, and the going rate for sack artists has risen significantly since his deal was signed.
Thibodeaux is slated to be a free agent in 2027, one year before Carter becomes extension-eligible. If the rookie is as advertised, New York will have to strongly consider moving on from either Burns or Thibodeaux. still a 24-year-old edge-rusher who has averaged seven sacks per season and is under contract for two more years.
Thibodeaux won't net the Giants anything close to what Dallas got for Parsons, but a high Day-2 selection is a reasonable expectation.
4. Za'Darius Smith, Edge
2024 team: Detroit Lions | Age entering 2025 season: 32Last season -- with both the Browns and Lions -- Smith had nine sacks and 38 pressures. He's a speed-to-power rusher who can also align as a standup nose or 3-technique to get interior one-on-ones. Smith could help a contender looking for a rotational edge with scheme versatility.

Jakobi Meyers has requested a trade. Like the 49ers, the Las Vegas Raiders appear uninterested in making a move.
ESPN's Adam Schefter told The Pat McAfee Show that Las Vegas isn't willing to absorb any of Meyers' salary and isn't actively looking to deal him anyway. However, it might not be terribly difficult to change the Raiders' minds with a reasonable offer.
The reality is that Meyers, who is in a contract year, is likely nearing the end of his Las Vegas tenure. The Raiders just used a second-round pick on his likely replacement, Jack Bech. With fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton Jr. already in the starting lineup, moving Meyers and getting both rookies on the field could make sense.
