You just wait……..

I’m sure his Blue Jacket “fandom” will be up in arms when Werenski is traded for a bucket of turds in a day or two.

Cavs exploring trade options to clear space to bring LeBron James home​

The Cavaliers are one of the two frontrunners for LeBron James in free agency along with the Warriors, and the biggest hurdle for Cleveland in bringing James home again is the cap sheet puzzle they're faced with. The Cavs do not have access to the non-taxpayer mid-level exception right now like the Warriors, which means that to outright sign James as is, they'd need him to take a minimum. That's a tough sell, and a sign-and-trade would only complicate matters by hard-capping them at the first apron.

Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reports that, to create more financial flexibility, the Cavs are exploring trade options for Dennis Schröder ($14.8 million) and Max Strus ($16.6 million) to see if they can shed enough money to add James and re-sign James Harden as planned. For his part, Harden is reportedly holding off on signing his new deal in Cleveland to give the Cavs the most possible flexibility to bring LeBron back, per The Athletic's Joe Vardon.

Dropping Schroeder is whatever, but dropping Strus for a 1-year LeBron rental? Terrible idea.

Browns and Jets :no:

In theory yes though it's always nice to have NFL guys in these roles.

I hear you and I knew every Buckeye fan would call out his stops. But being a scout, isn’t the guy Who makes the picks nor the guy who calls plays or develops the talent. His role then and his role at OSU will be to select talent to target in the transfer portal that our former NFL coaches can utilize.
very interesting strategy as Day is the only CFB HC to use so many former NFL personnel.

2027 tOSU Recruiting Discussion

pnuts34
@BuckBackHome :
I think LJsr has always taken the familial approach to recruiting. And it worked very well for decades. But with NIL, the grandpa role only goes so far when OSU was getting outbid by tens of thousands of dollars(if not more). It was said by many OSU insiders if OSU was able to open up check book and get creative to find ways for additional revenue, than we would see LJsr see more success. The '27 class is showing what he can do with an influx of money now(and the OSU athletic dept. realizing that there is no one enforcing anything).
@calibuck :
OSU(and pretty much all D1 programs) utilizes it's NIL for in house deals. BUT they also have access to outside funds from major corporations as well and that is also considered NIL. Your 5star talent is getting a bulk of their NIL from national brands, and little from the OSU collective. That's why OSU is able to match or come close to Tennessee's offer for DGG, or how they were able to secure JJ from Miami and still keep him. I'm sure Jamier Brown's biggest deal is through Adidas, and he'll make very little from the OSU collective. But someone like Jordan Donahoo may have most if not all his NIL come from the collective. But if he becomes a starter than I can see the collective fall back, but then some national brands contact him. I can see Isaiah West have a similar trajectory to that example if he's in the 2 deep the next few years(I could also see frosh like Boyd, Perez and Wilhelm possibly fitting in that scenario as well).
