If the Pickens trade has opened up a roster spot, then adding an additional running threat like say, Nick Chubb, has appeal.

Even sending one of next year’s draft picks to the Titans for Will Levis could be intriguing. Maybe he would be enthusiastic about trying to break out as the dual threat weapon that Kordell once was from the QB position during the Slash days, minus the receiving obviously.
Dude did you watch Will Levis try and play NFL QB last year?
Wasn’t so much advocating for him to compete for the full-time QB role, as much as casting a line for an additional running threat which could have upside.

Kaleb Johnson brings fresh excitement to the 2025 backfield, but it's also the case that Harris’ guaranteed durability is gone. Folks may have disliked him as the lead back, but not one of his 1097 career carries was worse than Le’Veon Bell’s replacement in the ’14 Wild Card Game.

Myself and others were high on Trey Sermon in ’21 when he went in the 3rd round of that draft. That signing ends some of the nail biting.

I honestly think Justin Fields has more upside than Will Levis and that's saying something, because it's pretty clear that Fields is never going to be a high level passer.

Levis...he has some running ability (nowhere near what Fields brings) and he looks even more clueless throwing a football than Justin Fields does.

I honestly see no upside in Will Levis. Levis looks like Tarzan, plays like a (dumber) Jane.

One of these is Will Levis's 21 starts and one is Sam Darnold's first 21 starts:
407/677 4780 yds, 60.1%, 30 TD / 25 INT. 7.1 YPA. 6.29 A/YA, 81.0 QBrating, 3 rush TD, 10 fumbles, 2 4QCB, 2 GWD
339/556 3156 yds, 61.0%,17 TD / 13 INT, 7.0 YPA. 6.47 AY/A, 81.4 QBrating, 1 rush TD, 17 fumbles, 2 4QCB, 2 GWD

Darnold has had one good year with the best receiver in the entire league and a few other really good ones, an outstanding RB and a great coach. Oh and a top 5 defense led by Brian Flores, who I wish were the Steelers head coach right now.

The Vikings didn't trust Darnold enough to break the bank for him, after he stunk it up in the playoffs and well....looked like Sam Darnold.

Let's see how paying Sam Darnold ends up working out for the Seahawks.

Maybe Levis will someday enjoy a career renaissance somewhere, but don't bet your house it happens. Dude has everything you want in a QB except the ability to process what he's seeing. He seems to process information in slow motion. Sometimes he is able to make plays with good athletic ability and a great arm, but that simply isn't enough to win in the NFL.

I wouldn't be surprised if Levis is out of the NFL in a few years and I'm certain we aren't going to be seeing any mayonnaise commercials next season.

Couple extra weapons for Bibberty couldn't hurt.

One of my favorite players over the last 10 years is available....Keenan Allen.

He put up great numbers with a rookie QB last year. Assuming Arod is the QB, Keenan would be a perfect fit.
The concern for me is, will a player like Allen actually see play time?

We all watched with frustration the addition of Williams as he rode the bench. It was an absolute disappointment.

Not because of Williams but because of the baffling decisions made from the coaching staff.

I’m assuming the Woods signing was done using the same approach anticipating the Pickens trade?

That said, I am in favor of Allen as well. Little long in the tooth but can still be effective IMO.
Isn’t Allen really a slot player, when we are talking about someone starting opposite of Metcalf?

Sorry he left must have been injured concerns or maybe King AR wants his buddy Lazard
