Second, Ryan Kelly. I know he’s over 30, and you usually avoid those guys like the plague; but…. The line play is much more cohesive and effective when he’s on the field. With any luck, Tanor Bortolini develops, but the bottom line is that 2025 is a make or break season. If Anthony Richardson doesn’t make the leap, heads will roll, starting with the general manager and head coach. If I’m the GM, my highest priority is to give Anthony Richardson a clean pocket.

At 30 years old, EJ Speed is someone I bring back if the price is right, if for no other reason than not signing him would create a hole that would have to be filled. I don’t kid myself…Linebacker is a real need. We simply have to find someone who stands a glimmer of a chance of covering opposing Tight Ends and Running Backs. But to me, that’s a midterm issue, not something that sits on the front burner.

Dayo Odeyingbo is a clear maybe. I could be wrong, but I see potential, and I wonder if he’d be more effective in a different system, with a different defensive coordinator. Right now, the day after the season ended, Gus Bradley‘s status is up in the air. If Gus is gone, whoever replaces him might be able to better utilize Dayo.

Dulin and Stuard for their value on special teams.

Just curious. Kelly is a free agent. What would be your offer/solution for keeping him?
