Looking at next years depth chart, what positions do you think are the musts for bringing in new players, rookie or free agents? I think a very interesting position battle at WR will happen next year and i could see Kevin Austin Jr play his way into a role.

QB
Shough
Rattler

RB
Kamara
Neal
2 spots for:
Estime, Kendre, rookie or free agent

WR
Olave
Vele
3 spots for:
Polk, Palmer, Austin Jr, Bub Means, Tipton, free agent or Rookie(s)

TE
Juwan
2 spots for:
Matavao, free agent or rookies

RT
Fuaga
Asim Richards

RG
Ruiz
(free angent or rookie?)

C
MCcoy
Fortner (need to re-sign)

LG
Need a starter
Radunz (need to re-sign)

LT
Kelvin Banks
Saldiveri

DE
Young, Granderson, Cam Jordan,Rumph rookie?

DT
Breese, Broughton, Jonah Williams, rookie/free agent

NT
Sheppard, Godchaux,

WLB
Werner (trade?)
Stutsman

MLB
Demario, Stalbird

CB
Riley, Koolaid, Yiadom, rookie

N
Alontae, Amadi

WR
Olave
Vele
Polk
Draft

2 spots for:
Palmer, Austin Jr, Bub Means, Tipton, or free agent.

Polk was a 2nd Rd pick in 2024. New England didn't fully put it together last year then they added Diggs/ Kyle Williams. Boutte/ Douglas just got the reps. Then Polk got hurt this preseason. He should not be compared to a bunch of undrafted nobody's.

Not at all. Bub Means/ Tipton/ Pettis showed way more than Austin and the best of that group is WR5. Austin doesn't make the roster unless we keep 7+ WR's

There is zero chance Kamara is our opening day starter. He is done.

id like to sign Teller to a 3 yr 30 mil deal, sign Breece to a similar deal, and would love to sign Goedert to a 2 or 3 yr deal

If AK41 is in the building more frequently and comes back rejuvenated I think hes worth keeping 1 more year.

If hes mailing it in again than neaux.

You’re missing one of our best defenders. He will receive a nice contract this offseason.
