Figured this could be the purely, transactional post. Cuts, signings, etc. Free agency period begins, this coming Wednesday.

with the release of schwartz and fisher
fisher was unlikely to be healed this season but i'm not sure how far along schwartz was in his rehab or if he's planning to retire

.

But that’s basically going to be Mahomes next season.

and, man...what a rugged 6 weeks for Fisher. Rupture achilles in AFC Championship, miss the Super Bowl, get released.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31051305/sources-tom-brady-tampa-bay-buccaneers-agree-4-year-extension

TAMPA, Fla. -- Quarterback Tom Brady has reached agreement with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a four-year contract extension that voids to a one-year extension, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal ties Brady to Tampa through the 2022 season, sources said.

The move saves the Buccaneers $19 million against the cap this year, sources said. The additional voidable years are there to defray the cost. It was another effort from Brady to keep as much of the team together as possible.

As of Friday morning, prior to Brady's new deal, the Bucs were $7.756 million over the $182.5 million salary cap, after using the franchise tag on wide receiver Chris Godwin and re-signing inside linebacker Lavonte David to a two-year extension.

Like Brady's deal, David's contract includes voidable years, something the Bucs have not used in well over a decade. David will only count $3.5 million against the salary cap in 2021, despite playing on a two-year deal worth $25 million because his contract includes three voidable years. The drawbacks to doing voidable years, however, mean that they'll essentially be borrowing from the future. But they recognize that Brady's window is a small one, even with an extra year on what was originally a two-year contract.

Brady's deal gives the Bucs space to try and bring back outside linebacker Shaq Barrett, who notched 4.0 sacks in the postseason and led the NFL with 19.5 sacks last year.

But Barrett isn't the only one the Bucs have to think about. Tight end Rob Gronkowski, defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, wide receiver Antonio Brown, kicker Ryan Succop and running back Leonard Fournette are all set to become free agents on March 17 if new deals can't be reached.

In February, Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said that he and coach Bruce Arians would be "elated" if they could extend Brady.

Brady, 43, has previously said his goal was to play until age 45, but he said during the week of the Super Bowl that he would now consider playing beyond 45. Brady will be 44 next season, and tacking on a year to his deal keeps him under contract through his 45th birthday. Family will play a major role in determining if, in fact, Brady plays beyond that.

In his first season with the Buccaneers, Brady won his seventh Super Bowl, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 in the NFL's first Super Bowl played, and won, by the hosting team.

..saving damn-near 20 mil in cap space.

They won't be able to bring back everyone, but if Brady's there, Gronk will likely follow suit. Not sure if they'll be able to retain Suh's services, but Barrett earned every penny coming to him.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

Presuming Gronk comes back, I'd rather trade OJ Howard instead of cutting Brate, but that doesn't bring the cap relief cutting Brate will.

Hopefully Suh will take a pay cut to stay (we'll see about that one)

I guess healthy OJ is the question, though.

OJ Howard's health moving forward is the real question mark here.

We know his potential is great, but the best ability is availability. I'm not a fan of athletes (esp Black athletes) taking pay cuts for these teams owned by billionaires, but if they can somehow manage to find the compromise in contract structure, I'm all for it.

Either way, Licht & Arians have their work cut out for them this offseason.




*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

But I’m a homer, as you know

..However, Gronk is still Brady's favorite target/security blanket.

I'd imagine he's more than willing to restructure to continue playing with Brady.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

Tom Brady the only starting QB in tampa bay HISTORY to sign a second contract. been around since the 70s.

Let's go.

Hope the Browns go this route.

Still rooting for a big, explosive L for MAGA Dilfer until the NFL stops using him as their "Jay-Z"

.

.

I thought GB was going to go with the younger backs on their roster and maybe just draft someone.

I also thought Jones would get more/bigger offers in FA but with the cap being lower this year and teams not really investing in RBs maybe the market wasn’t as good for him.

*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

Field Yates was on Mina Kimes, latest pod. He was saying we are going to see the voidable years, thing a lot this offseason...with the cap going down.

..We may see a slight increase in signing bonus $$$, but a contract with "all voidable years" is basically worthless to an athlete in search of security.

Its the soft version of a 1 yr deal, that saves the team cap space and guarantees nothing to the athlete.

..Smart moves with proven athletes.

it seems like most black qbs are giving 1 year “prove it” contracts and if they don’t ball out they’re usually looking for their replacement

- you can’t draft anyone at 19, and I never really like trading up

- the other available names are boring and ass ... Darnold, Mariota, you can have them.

This will be fun. Terry’s gonna get like 22 targets a game. We’re going to score, something we struggled mightily to do last year. There will be an after-Thanksgiving game that we really need to have where Fitz throws like 3 picks in the first quarter against the Eagles, and it’ll be gut wrenching. But in the meantime this is fun. They’ll be an enjoyable team to watch. I’d love to add Kenny Golladay or Juju.

This.

I’m always embarrassed when fantasy football folks are shocked at the inevitable 3 picks/get benched Fitz game. But yes, WFT hasn’t been fun since RG Knee and even then the overbearing tension of RG vs Shanny didn’t let it be all out fun like this will be for a while. And with the rest of the division being themselves, WFT could get off to a crazy good start.

.

>.

Well, they sure did bring in a gang of names. Cheap qb should equal hella names on both sides of the ball. It will be interesting to see what they’re trying to do with Cam this year.

To me, they still need one no bullshit adult wr. Like at least a Marvin Jones.

Jonnu Smith
Hunter Henry
Nelson Agholor
Kendrick Bourne
If Cam can just fix his mechanics, to where he's not throwing that 11 yard bullet into the ground...this will all be, at least, fun to watch.

I know Agholor dont have hands, but he can run a lil bit. that should work w/ Cam just fine.

I'm really going to miss Jonnu Smith. we underutilized him.

with Kittle and Debo out, a lot...he got a decent amount of work, thrown his way. He's not a big dude, height-wise...like 6/190. They used him like a quick little in and out guy. Slant, WR screens type shit.

In spite of everything last year, they were only 7-9...

I hope I'm wrong, by the way.

If Cam isn't crippled and/or completely done, this looks like they have a stew going over there. One more 'talented' RB would be nice and those seem kinda inexpensive. Nothing crazy. Just like a Phillip Lindsey or Damien Williams. Someone who can generally play to replace James White and the inevitable Rex Burkhead injury.

Or if everyone is gonna fall too far back, a 1 year deal to Kenny G would be fun too. Something! I want see folks go to town about getting better.

seems Belichick knows that the most efficient way to get FAs you like is guarantee them money. They upgraded almost a dozen positions in an immediate and major way largely by guaranteeing money right out the gate and not wasting anyone's time. If they F around and get Golladay, I bet it's like 18 a year for 4 years with $60MM guaranteed. They're being ruthlessly efficient in their approach.

Most of these teams still like to inflate their numbers but guarantee lesser dollars, they think they're shrewder than they are. Really it's just a matter of making it more complicated than it has to be. There's not a lot of smart men in football.

If this team wins 10+ games this year we may have just witnessed a paradigm shift.

.

Keeping Verret is huge, even it's for a one-year deal. Hopefully this helps eventually signing him long term. Juszczyk for five years is good as well.

Obviously keeping Trent Williams is now the team's #1 priority, and they appear to be ready to offer him $20 million a year. K'Waun Williams is the next after that.

Borne is gone to the Pats, which kinda sucks, because I liked our WR core. But we really can't keep everyone.

I like Andy. Oh, well.

https://twitter.com/diannaESPN/status/1372105568400334848?s=20

After Bakhtiari got his deal, $20 million a year wasn't going to be enough.

Honestly, he was probably the best player in the free agent class, so he's worth it. And re-signing has always been the top priority, so glad they got it done.

This probably means Williams and everyone else is gone, but we'll handle it.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/17/report-bears-offered-three-first-round-picks-a-third-rounder-and-two-starters/

3 1st round picks
3 round pick
Two starters

^^ All for Russell Wilson but the Seahawks refused, allegedly. This impacts Bears free agency.

us from a Herschel Walker type situation.

Russell Wilson, physically, is on the decline, and is the most
sacked QB in the past 5 years. Running QBs fall off the cliff
in a flash. It does not happen gradually. No thank you.

I’m cool with Dalton ,and hit the draft for a QB. At worst, we
are a playoff team.

We get Cohen back, paired with our other talented offensive players.
The Defense will continue to be a top 10 defense, so we have a good
foundation.

Let’s roll.

Dalton is openly and regularly bad. He’s a poor man’s Kirk Cousins. This will be on display again in Chicago. He should be decent enough to keep Robinson statistically good but I would not expect anything good in important games, if he plays well enough to get the Bears into important games.

I worry that Russ could have a few lean years on the way where he’s hurt more often, but he’s been really good for a while. He does the work and his deep ball is still top shelf. But I can get not wanting to give up half a team to get him.

us from a Herschel Walker type situation.

I'm guessing Carolina just decided they weren't gonna pay a WR with the way folks are loving on incoming WRs right now. Horrid teams like the Jets and WFT had no such qualms. And really, I don't blame them. They don't trust that they can draft well beyond the early 1st round no brainer players and rightfully so. Their teams are NOT destinations for anyone with options. So they have to fork over the money or get stuck with nothing.

I'm gonna keep looking at Baltimore and waiting for them to get a real WR of some kind on the scene.

4 years later i still cant believe the Lions picked Jalen Tabor 60 spots ahead of him

https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1372622666780188674?s=20

>https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1372622666780188674?s=20

That's a good backup landing spot for him. If he accidentally gets to play and makes a few throws, he'll get to start again. If a Glennon can, Mitch can. If Fitzpatrick can, Mitch can.

I know..we're supposed to just to going over actual transactions, but I'm wondering!

Did he think he was gonna get a 4 year, 80 million type deal, he's not and now the league is just waiting for his price to go down?

Is he still hurt and the league has found out but the Shefty type folks have not spoken on it?

If he's healthy and his market is just low now cuz a graph somewhere says 'don't pay WRs..its fine', what in the world is Baltimore waiting on to throw him 2 for 20 while Lamar is still cheap!? I'm still salty that they didn't sign Marvin Jones for that 2 for 14.5 that he took from the doggone Jags of all folks.

WR free agent...then them offers start coming through and he was like, this ain’t even enough. Teams were like “make it enough”

So there are huge concerns regarding his hip, so teams are
staying away. Rightfully so.

No need to tie up money on a player with a possible serious hip
issue

.

A Top 10 corner in the league, 2 time pro bowler

QBs completed around 50 percent of their passes throwing
to his side.

They released him because he didn’t went to take a pay cut.

I could deal with the Dalton pick up....but this?

Possibly was our best defensive player.


I have no words

Pace really screwed this up. he is the most reactionary and undisciplined GM in the NFL

Maybe the WRs should start a sub union before the RBs at this point.

next year.

He had better offers from Baltimore but they dont pass that much and his stats would prolly be ass juice

KC has the QB but how many balls would he get with all the talent on that team. Plus JuJu kinda slow and would look like a snail in that offense.

I was shocked as well but he isn’t a legit #1.

.

https://www.tampabay.com/sports/bucs/2021/03/24/bucs-reach-new-deals-with-donovan-smith-ndamukong-suh-per-reports/

I couldn't care less if AB resigns, and hopefully Fournette gets paid somewhere else (he deserves way more than tampa can offer him)

..Tampa's rolling into the draft like a bonus.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

Wow, did the Niners really re-sign just about all of their essential free-agents to come back next year? Verrett, Trent & K'Waun, Juszczyk, Moseley, DJ Jones, and Dontae Johnson are all coming back, plus bringing in Mack from Atlanta was huge.

The only thing is with some of these guys signed to 1-year deals, they're really going to have to make their move this signing. So they either have to be convinced that Jimmy G is going be healthy all season, or they need to have something in their pocket just in case. And a trade for Watson likely isn't happening now for obvious reasons.

Browns gonna get his ass if Mr. Satan survives the NFC.

>Browns gonna get his ass if Mr. Satan survives the NFC.

Bwahahahha!

I’m watching DB Super right now. Hercule has me rolling every time he shows up. I wish Brady was that ridiculous and entertaining. Instead, he just shows up to places and the teams are somehow much better off with him than without him.

Folks don’t seem to realize what a failure that 11-5 Matt Cassel Pats season was.

I don't see a team in the NFC who got markedly better. Certainly not better enough, to rival the defending Champions.

Roster-wise, the only potential rivals are the Niners and Rams. Obviously there's A LOT up in the air right now, but if the Niners could get Deshaun Watson well then you can just pencil them in for the NFC Championship game opposite Tampa. Hell, I may even say the same for drafting Justin Fields. Carolina is a wild card too to me, if they could get Fields or Watson they're probably good for 10 or 11 wins.

NFC rosters in order to me is
1. Tampa (by a wide margin currently)
2. Niners
3. Packers
4. Rams
5. ...Arizona?

there's some ass teams in the NFC right now, damn. Dallas defensive talent is as woeful as their offensive talent is impressive. The Packers get to play Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins, and Andy Dalton six total times next year wtf. Outside of Russ and the pass catchers, Seattle's roster leaves a lot to be desired.

NFC is a wasteland. Compare that to the AFC: Chiefs, Chargers, Colts, Titans, Dolphins, Bills, Ravens, Steelers (even with Ben, yuck), and Browns (lowkey maybe 2nd most loaded roster after KC).

Tampa is returning 22 of 22 starters from the SB. Masterful job by their GM and ownership.

>Tampa is returning 22 of 22 starters from the SB. Masterful
>job by their GM and ownership.

AB would play for free for Brady if he had to.

..But I could easily see a team coming through with that bag to sway him (like Seattle). We know he ain't seeing serious $$$ in Tampa.

Admittedly, I'm curious to see what kind of chemistry he & Brady could develop with a full off season to work with.

Provided he doesn’t get caught up in off field issues, it would be great to watch

That said, I do want to see Tyler Johnson get more reps this fall

number 12, a 3rd rounder and two future 2nd rounders. San Fran either is about to grab one of the good college QBs are try to risk it all for Russell.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31141794/san-francisco-49ers-move-nfl-draft-acquire-no-3-pick-miami-dolphins-sources-say

phins are going to be a monster in a few years

Meanwhile I'd love to know what John Lynch is thinking with this

Maybe Lynch and nem feel the NFC West is open, with trouble in Seattle.

The window for the team is right now. Especially with re-signing a bunch of the guys to one year deals. So using the pick to draft a guy who'll probably be ready in a couple of years would be strange.

I don't know if there's an absolutely can't miss position player in the draft that's worth giving up three first-round picks (I'm honestly asking here). If the Watson "situation" wasn't happening, I'd guess this would be them getting ready to make a move for him.

then it'd have to be loading up to make a play for Russell...or Deshaun. No one else, including any high level position player in the draft (like you mentioned) could be worth this move. Russell Wilson on the cotdamn 49ers, with Shanahan pulling the strings is a SB, man. They're getting back so much on defense, without doing anything else. They would be so straight, on both sides of the ball.

they absolutely taking a QB. Shanahan believes anybody can get it popping w/ him at the controls, so why not someone cheap, w/ actual upside
extend your window out and raise your ceiling over the next 3-5 years

and unload Handsome Jimmy's money

.

I don't know why you trade two more first rounders to pick the fifth best QB in the draft.

It's just a strange strategy to say, "Okay, we're going for it all this with Jimmy G, but we're drafting his replacement before the season starts."

I think this is just a smoke screen. I think they take Fields.

from the Eagles for #12, #123 and a 2022 first rounder.

It will be interesting to see what the Dolphins do with these picks.

The pressure is on Tua to have a breakout season this year or else he will not be on the Dolphins roster next season.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CM49HloJZYI/?igshid=xeob0ftl3ull

to run it back with Ben...interesting.

and a '22 second and fourth rounder. Damn. Jets going full Zack Wilson, huh?

>and a '22 second and fourth rounder. Damn. Jets going full
>Zack Wilson, huh?

Weird trade. It’s kind of a lot for Darnold but not if they can rehab/rescue his career while he’s still on his rookie deal.

And of course, that means Teddy is effed the ayyy as far as being a starter goes. Raw deal considering the most expensive guy on their offense barely played at all and the line wasn’t exactly strong. Sucks for Theodore Jam.

Everyone needs to be fired immediately. Trading up for Trubisky and passing on Watson and Mahomes.....they owe it to these fans to take a shot.

49ers know what's up....theyre going to get somebody.

Now with Carolina out of the mix the Bears should be blowing their phone up to get to 8 and hope one of those QB's fall to them.

Praying they do not

>Everyone needs to be fired immediately. Trading up for
>Trubisky and passing on Watson and Mahomes.....they owe it to
>these fans to take a shot.

Everyone needs to be fired, yes. Trading away more of the teams future (3+ first-rounders) for the right to draft Trey Lance is idiocy to me

Just because you really want a franchise QB, doesn't meant there is one to get. Please patch the other glaring holes in this roster and worry about a QB when there is one to get without gambling everything out of desperation.

Absolutely and unequivocally disagree

So you wouldn't want to try to get Justin Fields in Chicago???

The Bears have one of the most dreadful QB histories of any franchise in the NFL. They need to figure this out at some point.

Backfield is getting crowded but Gio is a nice, solid option for us to have.

https://www.cltampa.com/arts-entertainment/sports/article/21151321/welcome-to-tampa-bay-giovani-bernard

For those wondering what the Bucs are going to do with their first-round draft pick a couple weeks from now, I think it’s safe to say you can scratch running back off the list of possibilities.

The Bucs signed former Bengal Giovani Bernard to a one-year deal, according to a Twitter post by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Bernard has played in Cincinnati since the Bengals drafted him in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft. While the 29-year-old hasn’t posted any ridiculous numbers or earned any huge accolades, the former Tar Heel has a reputation as one of the most productive and solid receiving backs in the league—even with his turning 30 years old in November—and with Tom Brady’s previous success with pass catching backs such as James White, it could be a sign that Bernard’s production is about to take a huge jump with the Bucs.

The deal is one of many huge offseason moves by the Bucs in their pursuit for a second straight Super Bowl, and allows the Bucs to fill out the rest of their roster in the draft.

Tampa Bay may have brought back all 22 starters from the Super Bowl, but it was also incredibly fortunate to not have any major players miss significant time last season. That’s unlikely this season.

As for any future signings for the Bucs, look out for the receiver position, as Antonio Brown is unsigned along with free agents like Dez Bryant and Josh Gordon. While TB12 has chemistry and history with Brown, his legal situation with a sexual assault case scheduled to go to trial in December makes signing him risky. Brown is also reportedly seeking more money than the Bucs are willing (or able) to offer with their salary cap restrictions.

Gordon is a question mark himself, as off-the-field problems with substance abuse have plagued what could have been a great career. But, he does have prior experience with Brady, as he caught the GOAT’s 500th career TD pass in New England when Gordon was on the Patriots for the 2019 season. He is currently playing for the Zappers in the new Fan Controlled Football (FCF) league, but given the opportunity to break back into the NFL and win a ring with the Bucs should entice the former Cleveland Brown to take his talents to Tampa Bay.

Bryant seems to have the least amount of baggage, but the former Cowboy had an incredibly quiet 2020 season in Baltimore, where he only racked up six catches in as many games. While he doesn’t have any off-the-field problems that could prevent him from playing, he’s 32 and is coming off an Achilles injury that seems to be a lingering problem. He’d certainly be a downgrade from Brown or even Gordon.

However, the big news was the signing of Bernard. Bucs fans can celebrate, as Brady continues to have more weapons than anyone else in the league, with an offensive line that is still one of the best in football.

.

Fam!

WRs: Mooney, Robinson, Goodwin, Miller, Cohen
Te: Cmet, Graham
RBs: Montgomery, Damien Williams, Cohen

I now have a better understanding of why we dropped
Fuller and Patterson.

Draft a QB and OL help. And snag two solid defenders.


If Dalton can be solid we got a shot at winning
the division.

You are a wild dude.

There is no way this team will even get back to 8-8

Detroit and Minnesota are never a concern.

The only concern are the packers, and Rodgers’ future
isn’t clear, and their defense hasn’t improved.

If we can get solid play at the QB position, we have a shot.

The bears lost 4 games by a TD or less, and a few of those
were in the last couple of minutes. 12-4 could have happened.

Had Naggy not panicked by sending Trubisky to the bench,
we would not have endured Foles’ losing streak. We would have
won those games. Trubisky won the last 3 games for us to
get into the PO.

And if I’m not mistaken, you said we weren’t going to make the PO
last year.

They were 8-8 last year and only made the playoffs because the field was expanded.

The Bears are closer to the Lions than they are to the Packers.

And yeah, Trubisky definitely would have won those games, lol, that's why the Bears sent him packing in the offseason.

It's no point arguing with you because your opinion is rooted in some different world in your head, not the games that actually happen. Bears schedule is absolutely brutal, the roster is piecemeal and the coach is incompetent. Soooo... if you want to make any type of a bet, let me know, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. Doesn't have to be money either, loser can just stop posting here for some extended period of time, whatever you can think of.

To bad you can’t edit.

You can just carry your L home now. That way we don’t
have to deal with this when the season starts.

You talked all that shit about Ryan Pace. He just had an outstanding draft on
top of some good draft picks he made in the past, as well as good FA moves.

We made the PO twice in the past 3 years and had a 12-4 season,
but we are closer to the lions?

SMH

And I don’t want to here any focking excuses. Own all that shit you said
the bears are going to be next season, and what Pace and Nagy are.
Eat every morsel of that bullshit.

>To bad you can’t edit.

Edit what??

He had a good draft, mostly because Fields

His draft history of middling to bad

His FA moves have mostly been bad.

All this has already been said and you had no answer. His dumb moves is why we are keeping Jimmy Graham and Robert Quinn, two guys who looked washed last year, but had to cut a Pro Bowl corner in Kyle Fuller.

HA! You think I'm backtracking because they got Fields?

No left tackle, a middling receiver room, no #1 corner and the #2 spot helmed by a second year guy with injury problems. I have no qualms saying that the Bears will not have a winning record next year. Which is good actually cause then maybe Fields gets to work with a coach who knows what he is doing, sooner than later.

Put a number to their record next year or STFU

If he'd done it early on, I do believe he could have made it

It's too late now though.

every single person on the roster have to be going WTF

way to really set the tone by giving a pass to someone nobody wanted to sign. is Johnny Manziel getting a tryout and contract next?

Who the hell else gets a shot at that age after being out of the league for a decade.....and sucking in their previous shot?

This is hilarious because he was asked to switch to tight end ten years ago and refused.

It also got him a minor league contract. There was no way in hell he should have been offered a spot other than to be a show pony. It blows my mind Mets were actually going to give him a late season call up two years ago.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's funny to me is, even if he did come into the league as a TE in 2010, I could still see this exact same move happening in 2021. After a respectable 11-year respectable career playing the position, he re-unites with his college coach to begin the final phase of his career. Then it's a feel good story... instead of whatever this is now.

I knew he wouldn’t stay at TOSU until retirement

talking about this on SportsCenter, this morning…dude sounds kinda ridiculous.

“We have not signed Tim,” Meyer told Collinsworth. “There’s a thought going around. He was in the best shape of his life, asked to see if he could work out with a couple of our coaches. I wasn’t even there. And they came back to me and said, ‘Wow, this guy’s in incredible shape.’ Then I went another time and watched them try him out. And they said, ‘Go work on these things.’ He comes back later. They try him out again, I’m not there. They came in and they said, ‘Wow. This guy’s ball skills. He’s a great athlete. He looks like he’s 18 years old not whatever he is, 33. And I said, ‘Guys, you don’t understand, now. This guy is, he’s the most competitive maniac you’re ever gonna talk to. And let’s give it a shot. And I have not decided if we’re gonna do that or not yet. Getting close. I gotta make a decision here pretty soon.”

for life

.

Peter King (for what that’s worth) says sources say greater than 50% chance Julio is traded before Week 1.

he wants to win. After June 1st, they can trade him, with a lower hit to this year’s cap. I could just see dude in a Niner’s uniform.

I like to see a team like the Titans go for it. They clearly have the money and Julio has a few years max left. And it seems like they got him for a 2nd rounder and something else? Hmm.

being in Memphis I keep up with Titans so I wish them well. glad he went to the AFC though

Texans going down in flames. Colts with a gang of changes. Jags probably going to have freshman blues under Tiger Trev... no excuses.

its about how we stack up w/ KC and Buffalo

I think Vrabel got it as far as defense is concerned if people are healthy.

Like i get it, with the salaries...but my mind is having trouble processing Julio Jones and Hopkins being traded for 2nd and 3rd round picks. Seems wild to me.

season on ESPN last year they kept announcing that he was interviewing for all these GM jobs in places like Detroit, Houston and Jacksonville and on his last MNF appearance he basically stepped down before he had a job. I'm guessing Houston wasn't as inviting after the Deshaun drama and Urban taking over in J-ville kind of deaded that situation and who really wants to work for the Lions? I guess he's returning to MNF for 2021 so maybe he will talk about it then.
