The new league year begins Wed., March 13th

DAMN! Mike Evans just re-signed for 2/52 with 35 guaranteed. It was just announced he was gonna hit the market. Not that Jerry and Stephen make that move, but a guy can dream.

Lots of interesting tidbits...

When does Ryan Poles make his move and where does Justin go? I've been saying it since like Week 2 and I'm standing on it...the Bears simply will NOT be able to resist picking a QB with that pick and will trade dude. They're waiting for the market to materialize if they don't already know.

Probably losing Tyron...SALUTE, Cowboy Legend!! When he's out there, he's still a very good player. Problem is, he's out there less and less. He's gonna be looking for a much bigger number than his durability will allow, here. Looks like Gallaup and Tony Pollard will be heading out, as well.

Some nice names on this list....

He got a check alright.

The reality is a known quantity will always trump a lottery ticket.

great situation for JJ to fall in 😑

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

he cannot be blamed for Denver being stupid. that's all on them.

and FWIW he wasn't that bad last year.

wonder where he'll end up. a lot of people are saying Atlanta but who knows.

so unless hes getting a $40M guarantee, which...no, hes gonna make $39M from Denver minus whatever the next team pays him

incredible

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

thing, but...Russ will make 39 million this year, if he just plays Madden. If there's a team that is "a quarterback away", he can literally help them (and himself) by taking a little as possible and having them put that other bread towards the roster. Will he, however, go to a team where he's not guaranteed a job? I can't see a 35 year old 300 millionaire fighting in camp for the spot.

...I'm from the era when A.I. was the answer, now they think ai is the answer - Marlon Craft

BUT, i also agree with you - Russ has a huge ego despite trying to act like he doesn't, and i don't think he steps foot anywhere where the job is not guaranteed to be his.

Chiefs hit Snead with the non-exclusive tag...meaning he can still talk with other teams and negotiate a trade.

...I'm from the era when A.I. was the answer, now they think ai is the answer - Marlon Craft

were expecting. Atlanta should be parked at the Bears' facility when they open, this morning.

he a garbage QB w/ an extension coming soon and everyone knows the Bears are taking Caleb and resetting the clock. why on earth would there be a "market"

<--- Big Baller World Order

his rookie deal is up after this season. if acquired, you only have 17 games to figure out if Fields is worth $40 million a year. he's not a cheap option to build around or develop anymore, he has to be *carrying* a franchise on his own by the end of 2024.

if the Bears are expecting someone to risk a first rounder on that proposition, they are mistaken. Chicago should be happy with a second rounder or performance-based third rounder that could become a second.

the NFL RB is down BAD.

WR’s getting $25 mill for 8 targets a game.

RB gets peanuts for 20 touches a game and picking up LBers and blitzers in pass protection

if it doesn't tell you all you need to know about the position, i don't know what else would.

that's it

Jerry, Stephen...PUHLEASE!!! If we don't come away from this off-season with Saquon, Jacobs or Henry...I'm going to be seriously bummed.

writing has been on the wall for Adams - he's COOKED. Diggs costs too much but he still has air left in the tires.

Adams is the worst move of the Pete Carroll era. not all the fault of Adams, but it is what it is.

and they suck

how TF do you end up paying two safeties $50 million and both be shitty

you need prime Reed/Troy to justify that shit.

...I'm from the era when A.I. was the answer, now they think ai is the answer - Marlon Craft

now, injuries factor in there, but even when he was healthy he was ass (again, maybe the injuries took everything from him - i don't really know).

I legit can remember when he was talked about as a game-changing safety...instincts, ball skills, physicality...on some 'Monte Ellis have it all'

...I'm from the era when A.I. was the answer, now they think ai is the answer - Marlon Craft

but after that it was not even downhill it was like through the layers of the earth's crust and straight into hell...to the point that i assume outside of Seattle he became completely forgotten for MOST football fans.

i don't want him to have to rely on that bum.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

<--- Big Baller World Order

I don’t see it at all.

He reminds me of AJ McCarron or Mac Jones. Just a QB on a really talented championship team.

Last 5 games before the playoffs he had 1TD and 1INT.

Dude barely passed the ball after the Purdue game.

Saw a mock with him going to the Giants and it feels like he is just a younger Daniel Jones.

What am I missing?

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

and anyone who watched him play every game saw this coming a mile away

he got hurt very early in the PSU game so they limited his exposure as much as possible until they needed him to go 16/20 against OSU and throw 3 TDs vs the "vaunted" Bama secondary

if you watched him and couldnt see the windows he was hitting, or the way he kept his eyes downfield on the move, or the athleticism that put him 4th *overall* in the 3 cone drill at the combine...im not really sure what else to say.

those other guys combine results are readily available, and the only thing ANY of them had on JJ was Mac Jones college productivity grade.

nobody but you sees them as similar.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

clip of every pass in that Bama game. Tons of quick passes at the LOS.

I’ll give it to you on Michigans OL and DL, they were legit. Didn’t expect them to ball out like that.

but this right here:

I don’t see first round talent at QB.

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

he was 10-18 140 yards and 0 TDs

i don't get the hype at all.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

in that game?

i see this is starting to get personal for you. i'm sorry.

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

this is like the bizarro world Matt Stafford conversation

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

maybe?

my point is: his opponent was playing one of their worst games of the year, and even then he couldn't muster a half decent performance.

as i said, i'll eat my words if i'm wrong about him, but i don't think i'm gonna have to do that.

idk why "worst game of the year" is even part of this?

Im not convinced that holding Michigan to only 303 rushing yards doesnt constitute one of their *best* performances of the year, for one thing.

And for another, they ran for 303 yards, got complimentary play from the QB (who suffered multiple drops), and won by 3 TDs.

If he had turnovers that led to even a nail biter finish, not to mention a loss, you might have a point. But this aint it.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

qualify that "1 TD" then

ill wait for your analysis

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

but it was still 1 passing TD in 5 games.

I’m just not seeing a top 10 QB when I watch him throw the football.

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

This is exactly who I compared him to as well, AJ McCarron but Mac Jones is probably a better comparison since it seems like he will be a 1st or 2nd round pick, when he should be a 4th or 5th.

Yes, I'm saying that for everybody.

A version of Jake Browning works too.

I see him as one of those Ryan Tannehill types that are solid starters on the right teams.

No empathy for white misery (c) BDot

"root for everybody black haters say that's crazy, wow..."

and Tannehill was nothing special

but I agree, he needs to go to a loaded team and I don’t think that happens if he is drafted tip 10.

looking back, him and Ruggs definitely got the "bama boost" and were overrated for playing on a great team

those were the first two receivers drafted in a class with

CeeDee Lamb
Justin Jefferson
Brandon Aiyuk
Tee Higgins
Michael Pittman

taken over the next 20 picks after that pair

--------

This is actually terrifying as a Ravens fan, but I honestly love Coach Tomlin and hope he gets Russ to come to Pitt....it will certainly make AFC North even more interesting

well, you know. 5 year deal. All the money from the first 3 years, 95 million, is guaranteed.

for an Outback gift card with $27 left on it. A possible 6th rounder for the 15th overall pick is crazy. Also…what is JAX doing? 🤔

it's clear that Lawrence isn't what the Khans thought he'd be

cause Mac Jones sucks

Jags weren't going back to Outback anyway o they're kicking the tires on a backup / covering their azz as cheaply as they think they can in-case TL ain't it for them and they want to get out of it? Maybe?

It is wild how the league is trying to figure out how to manage their QB situations. If you don't have one of the top 3-5 dudes for sure, you basically need options. Or you might fuck around and be paying a dude you kinda don't ein like 40 million a season. Its a wild time.

Like McNabb, Russ was a very talented player who nonetheless took his legendary coach and consistently well stocked rosters for granted. (McNabb in Philly / Russ in Seattle)

Like McNabb, Russ got high on his own supply and failed to consider that his unorthodox personality traits could be grating. (Both McNabb and Russ were unpopular in their respective locker rooms by the end of their tenure in Philly and Seattle)

Like McNabb, Russ was traded from a stable environment to an unorganized and desperate club who had no demonstrable plan for success and was in no way equipped to accentuate his remaining strengths as a player (McNabb to Washington / Russ to Denver)

So now, like McNabb, Russ is shipped to a team who has a sturdy foundation but is hopeless at QB and seeking a shortcut (McNabb to Minnesota / Russ to Pittsburgh)
