jazzpiano88 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 My sources are telling me that KC is allotted the win in LIX, but then SF gets wins in LX and LXI to allow Shanahan a hall of fame slot). The Rams get awarded the win in LXII since they're also getting the Olympics. (synergy for the powers that be in California). Philadelphia isn't on the plan until they win in LXVII. 2 Quote J a z z P i a n o 8 8 -- Yamaha C7D Montage M8x | CP300 | CP4 | SK1-73 | OB6 | Seven K8.2 | 3300 | CPSv.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfD Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 As the carousel turns, QB Drew Lock is heading to the NY Giants to fill in the vacancy left by QB Tyrod Taylor. Between QBs Daniel Jones and Drew Lock, the G-Men will be spending about $56M at the position this upcoming season. Yet, the same team refused to get a deal done with their best offensive player in RB Saquon Barkley. Maybe they are doing a favor in allowing him to go to a better team. Otherwise, insane business decisions for a Giants team that won't make the playoffs anyway.😁😎 1 Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

GovernorSilver Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 As expected, the Chargers released a starting WR to free up cap space. Mike Williams' release frees up $20 million. After a career 2021 performance, Williams' 2022 and 2023 seasons were mostly lost to injury. Khalil Mack is restructuring his deal to free up more cap space and remain a Charger. Harbaugh vs. Staley as HC helps here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the Redskimmanders might make a play for him. There was pundit talk of them needing a bigger WR opposite McLaurin. Although his last couple of years don't inspire much confidence. Edit: After reading what his contract numbers were and considering he's coming off an ACL, I don't know if it would be a good move for the Redskimmanders.

Yeah, coming off the ACL tear is the reason some Charger bloggers think he'll struggle to land a deal for what he or his agent think he is worth, then come back to the Chargers at a discount. Such talk smacks of wishful thinking to me though. Can't blame 'em for wanting a familiar skill player to stay - it's natural to fear the unknown as far as who might replace him on the roster. Somebody will make him an offer that he'll take. Might not be the Chargers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovernorSilver Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Also, Joey Bosa is restructuring his contract - and yes taking a pay cut - to stay a Charger, despite his mom's pleas for a trade to the Niners so he could join her other boy up there. Keenan Allen is a WR who had a good 2023 season but also missed games on injury, missed a good chuck of 2022 on injury and is 31 years old. Should such a WR fetch more than a 4th round pick in trade? We'll never know. Apparently Allen's refusal to take a pay cut like Joey Bosa led to this trade. Shame he had to go but such is business in the NFL. He'll probably be replaced by a veteran WR who cost less against the cap and is willing to block on running plays - shouldn't be hard to find one. Oh and Khalil Mack also took a pay cut. Housecleaning included LBs Murray and Kendrick. Don't miss either one really. Oh and one of Mahomes' latest moves is already being called "pulling a Tom Brady". In other words, he restructured his contract to help the Chiefs' salary cap. He really wants that 3-peat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzpiano88 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 The San Francisco 49ers bolstered their defensive line on Wednesday, trading a seventh-round draft pick to the Houston Texans for defensive tackle Maliek Collins. The move is also likely to be the final nail in the coffin of Arik Armstead’s tenure in red and gold. Armstead, also a defensive tackle, is set to leave the Niners after nine seasons with the team, reportedly because he declined to take a pay cut. Tied possibly indirectly to some factor either not related or possibly related to the former DC.

KenElevenShadows Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Keenan Allen is not a typical Ryan Poles sort of move in that he's 31 years old, but y'know, it's Keenan Allen. I think it's a good move for the Bears. And I definitely didn't see that one coming.

Geoff Grace Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 One of the greatest defensive linemen of all time has retired: Rams' Aaron Donald, 3-time DPOY, retiring from NFL at age 32 It’s sad news for us Rams fans; but Donald has been considering retirement since the Rams won the Super Bowl, so I’m not surprised.

GovernorSilver Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Vikings now have 2 1st round picks after this trade with the Texans They still don't have a top 5 first round pick though for drafting a top QB prospect, so speculation is they'll trade those 2 1st round picks to move further up... unless they really think Sam Darnold is their new franchise QB. Some talk of the Chargers trading down from the #5 overall pick, especially if Marvin Harrison Jr. is off the board by pick 5. In that case I'm sure they'll pick up the phone if the Vikings come calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfD Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Surprised the Steelers gave on QB Kenny Pickett. Thought QB Russell Wilson would serve as a veteran mentor to him. Read that QB Pickett wasn't too happy with Steele acquiring QB Wilson. The Steelers have cleaned out last year's QB locker room. It will be interesting to see who the Steelers bring as a backup QB and also which QB they draft. Commanders have traded QB Sam Howell to the Seahawks. Leaves QBs Marcus Mariota and Jake Fromm. Looks like whoever we draft will be starter.😁 Just getting started and lots of free agency and off-season moves already.😎 2 Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

kpl1228 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I predict great, great things for Wilson in Pittsburgh. That system and staff is perfect for him. The opposite of that consistent, well-oiled football franchise would be my Browns. Now we have Jameis Winston backing up Deshaun Watson and as a good, decent human being, it just gets harder and harder for me to justify rooting for a team that's (how do I say this kindly) full of psychologically and legally broken people. And beloved local boy Mike Vrabel in as a consultant/coach (how did he not land a HC gig?). Due to this, the fans are already second guessing Stefanski and it's only March. Sometimes I wish I was a Steeler fan: life would be so much easier. 1 Quote Roland RD-2000, Yamaha Motif XF7, Mojo 61, Invisible keyboard stand (!!!!!), 1939 Martin Handcraft Imperial trumpet "Everyone knows rock music attained perfection in 1974.

GovernorSilver Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Commanders signed another ex-Charger - this time CB Michael Davis. He's coming off of a rough 2023 but that was under Staley's head scratcher of a defensive system which confused even veteran players - eg one side playing man and the other side playing zone - and increasingly erratic playcalling. Davis might be able to bounce back in DC, depending on the system, coaching, etc. He should still have 4.3 speed to go with his size and legnth. Chargers will supposedly get a 6th round compensatory pick for Davis' departure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hoped that Caleb Williams would wind up on his home town team, but it doesn't seem likely now. Poles said he would "do right" by Justin Fields, and apparently, given the market, this meant turning down at least four other teams and having Fields go to the Steelers like he wanted, as he is a huge Wilson fan and is with a strong organization/coaching staff and is in a strong position to be the starting QB next year (if not this year). This would explain in part why Fields was traded traded for a bag of chips and a hot dog. A lot of Chicago Bears fans are hopping mad over it, but you know, it's the NFL and...it's just business. At least Poles didn't screw him over and seemingly had the team take a slight loss to get Fields where he wanted to go, so there's some integrity in that. Hopefully Caleb Williams or whoever becomes the Bears QB balls out. The team now looks to be strong. This is something Fields never had.

At this point, none of the NFC North teams look bad to me. The Lions are the best they've been in ages, and the Bears and Packers are on the rise.

Best, Geoff I think that's what's going on as well as hopefully the idea of actually trying to treat people with some respect since essentially, you're booting someone out who never had a fair shake, decent coaching, or a decent team. The Bears have a way of screwing things up, but since they have a new regime, I'm hoping that this time, things are different. 1 Quote Ken Lee Photography - photos and books Eleven Shadows ambient music The Mercury Seven-cool spacey music Linktree to various sites Instagram Nightaxians Video Podcast Eleven Shadows website Ken Lee Photography Pinterest Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfD Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 In breaking news, the Buffalo Bills are trading WR Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans. This will be an interesting season for the Bills as they have blown up their WR corps. The GM is all in QB Josh Allen they trust. As if the QB room could not get any worse, the Commanders have picked up QB Jeff Driskell. Still hard to believe if the season started next, QB Marcus Mariota would be starter.🤬 Sadly, former NFL CB Vontae Davis passed away this week at 35 years old.
