Notes

Live Team Notes

Vibes: Excited for Fitz & move past recent mess

Starters QB, RB, WR1, LT, 2 DL left via portal

Is Fitz a fit in this era? Definite staff upgrade

QB Milivojevic vs Fancher (5K pass/1K rush exp)

RB Edwards (UConn) much needed. Some depth

WR a huge ? that lacks any obvious answers

OL 4 clear starters + good depth. Sneaky good?

DL looks small and lacks dudes. Big weakness

LBs mostly portals but good parts, Cov issues?

DB 5 portals, need Saf Martinez to be healthy
