Yes but top RBs only make 15 and he is 24. Achane is arguably a top 5-6 RB. A major key for our offense is a running game. A 3rd and a 5th. Sign me up. Why do that when your 'insider' said we will draft RB Love? I presume by moving up in the draft. What were the remarks? Oh yeah, "Use currency go get love". The goal is to get an explosive rb. Love or Achane. Either take capital. Love was a prediction, not a goal, from the insider you posted. Every player worth anything takes capital. Jordan Mason's lowest average ypc was 5.2 during his time in SF. Here he couldn't even crack 5.0. RB isn't the problem. And Brzez needs to be bitch-slapped if he starts trading up for one.

Phil Riewer -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (4/11/2026 11:12:20 AM)
Insider? Skor North podcast. Explosive run game should be a goal. Runs or receptions over 30 years is not what Mason is.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (4/11/2026 12:00:53 PM)
It would be great if Mason could run for 30 years, but if Love is the next McCaffrey, or you can make a trade for someone like Achane, Hall or Croskey-Merrit, if the price is right, go for it. Other important needs seem to be another G, a Safety, NT and #3 WR. Pick #1 should probably be one of those 4, unless you can get Love.

So yeah, if there is a RB who gains 30 yards a run/reception they need to get this other-worldly talent.

quote: ORIGINAL: TJSweens I'm tired of trading away draft capital. I'd rather have my rb on a rookie contract. No kidding.

Kwesi cap mgmt 101 … try to have the most players you can as the highest paid at their position - WR, RT, FB, TE Do your job and draft better or go away.

It's the triple whammy of forking over valued assets and paying for the big new contract at a middling position. Meanwhile, the fellow already wants a new contract. After beginning voluntary offseason workouts, Achane was the lone member of the Miami Dolphins to skip the workouts, likely due to his ongoing contract request. First thing I thought of seeing that was 'highest paid at the position/set the bar for RBs'. Meanwhile we don't have enough cap right now to even pay for the rookie class. Not a big deal since we do have Kwesi on speed dial to get some more credit cards.

Kwesi delivers a masterclass to the regime: So Miami has this RB staging a light holdout for a new contract. Let's trade for him and set the contract bar at RB. We'll get some windfall cap later but his contract will have to be heavily backloaded. Pay later, when JJ's cap hits are $50M per, Darrisaw's $30M per, and the kicked cans start popping creating a mess for someone else to clean up! More importantly, what about the real needs you ask? Piece of cake. Since we traded away valuable picks for the pricy RB, we'll build through free agency! We'll pay for overpriced FAs by restructuring, aka kicking cans, cutting, and doubling void year placeholders. As for QB, the most important position, I once said (The Super Bowl) is more likely to win if you have that quarterback (Brady, Mahomes); it’s very unlikely to have that quarterback. So the hell with QB. Besides, QB salaries are tall cotton so it's imperative we continue to cycle in dirt cheap QBs. Let's keep an eye on Russell Wilson for 2027. And Flacco. I left, but my philosophy lives on! Remember The football is oblong and use it as your guiding principle. Sustainable competitive mediocrity is your goal. Zero Dark Thirty out.

Phil Riewer -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (4/16/2026 7:21:35 AM)
Cute analogy that doesn't fit Achane. He is 24 and a top 5 RB not a 30-31 year old DT that was signed for way more than Achane would cost. They aren't going to pay him $$$25 million like Allen or 17 million like Hargrove but most likely under 15 for a young top 5 guy at his position at a cost of a 3rd and a 5th. Keep trying Bill..... It only doesn't fit because they resigned the actual aging Jones which was more Kwesi like actually. It is a need and yeah they can still draft one.....they could of cut Jones and drafted one too.

TJSweens -> RE: General Vikes Talkk (4/16/2026 7:55:26 AM)
Under $15 is a BIG assumption. Achane is looking to push that threshold. And it's still $15M at a position that doesn't demand $15M on a cap strapped team.

An analogy isn't what you think it is. It's based on a comparison, which I didn't do. And certainly didn't mention Allen or Hargrave. To dumb it down for you, it's the combined costs of resources, i.e. draft picks and cap. A 3rd and 5th? For the record you were good with a 2nd and 5th. But Miami says he won't be traded. Which I believe since he didn't leave during their fire sale.

Your whole theory is blown to shit because they did the (sign an old injured vet) any way. They shouldn't have re signed Jones and then drafted one.

The Kwesi Masterclass post was a fun theoretical compilation of Kwesi's stereotypical decisions made over the years and how they might apply. But in your mind first it was about Allen and Hargrave, then it was about Aaron Jones. Not that you were ever any good at comprehension.

Perfect example of when to use resources and it may still backfire. Now Van Ginkel, Greenard, and Cashman have worked very well but they didn't originally cost as much. If they hadn't boy what a worse mess it would be. I still think Kwesi wanted Milton Williams and I forget the other FA from last year. When he didn't get them he went after Hargrave and Allen. Just two very bad decisions just as signing Kelly was a third.

Words do get big for you....if you didn't understand overstate and amplify are synonyms to hyperbolize. The rumor was a 3rd and a 5th.

You are just sad and unhappy with either aren't you because you didn't think of it? Top 5 young RB that is explosive is a need. If they draft one that is fine with me.....last I checked this the Vikes thread not just Bill's opinion only thread.

You and Bill have going at it over multiple threads for years. I'm sorry, but "he started it" doesn't fly. Sad and unhappy? I see you're trying out a new schtick.
