I think they’d lose the 3rd rounder if they sign a guy exceeding that $. Pretty sure you lose your highest comp pick. Not positive, but pretty sure.

You wouldn’t lose a 3rd for signing a guy for 4m a season.

Duvernay was fun to watch at Texas, would be a good Covey replacement as the 5th WR.

Would love to get Campbell and Smith for the DL but I think Howie is done there. 

Think the rest of the depth is going to be filled by draft picks

You are probably right about the DL, unfortunately, as there is still a major need at edge rusher. I don't see any way they don't sign a Safety though. They were in on Justin Reid who got pretty good money and they have to see the same things everyone else has seen with Sydney Brown and Tristan McCollum.

Dallas players leave and immediately start talking sense.

I mean he left to go to Seattle and play with Sam Darnold. I know for sure he’s not going to win a Super Bowl there either.

Today's NFL is a running league.  

 

Top 6 Rushing Teams in 2024:

1. Ravens 12-5, AFC North Champions

2. Eagles 14-3, NFC East & Super Bowl Champions

3. Redskins 12-5, NFC Championship Game participant

4. Buccaneers 10-7, NFC South Champions

5. Packers 11-6, Wildcard Team

6. Lions 15-2, NFC South Champions and #1 Seed NFC

I respectfully disagree for the following reasons, (1) compare yards passing to yards running for all six of those teams and I suspect (but don’t know for a fact) that all of them had more passing yards than rushing yards, (2) I suspect few if any of those six teams need an OG, (3) even if they do need an OG they probably are looking to get that OG through the Draft, and (4) six teams out of 32 is not a whole league.

After you have gotten the ball in the hole on all 18 greens, why would you want to do it again.

Idk why more star players don't think this way. They already have generational wealth after one contract, what does $5M per year extra do for you? Even $10M? When you've already made $25-30M, and are in line to make $25-30M more, what's the point other than to say you were the highest paid?

Brady understood that … and prioritized rings over greenbacks.

The rings in turn opened up opportunities to make significant non-football money through endorsements and appearances … and now minority franchise ownership.

On top of all that it costs a fortune.  If you want a real challenge take up duplicate bridge.

But not by Kraft.  By Boston/New England teams that supported the Patriots.

I have a certain amount of OCD. If I took up golf, I think it would make me crazy.

The biggest problem with golf is that you can’t reason with it.  In most cases the more you use your brain, the worse your game gets. Pursuing something that unreasonable is illogical.

I'm not an avid golfer by any means, especially since my son was born but I do love golfing when I can. I'm not good at it in any sense of the word but it's fun

Because as the top gets pushed higher... the bottom rises with it and the NFLPA pushes these guys to maximize their contracts so that it does push the bottom higher.  

 

It's simple math.   The QB position is ridiculously expensive now, almost to the point of it being a chokehold on being able to actually put quality players around the QB.  So, the teams feel a need for a higher cap number to enable them to actually field a quality team... so the NFLPA pushes for a higher percentage cut of the earnings, and the owners see the need to have more space on the cap because of how their QB contract is killing their ability to field the team they want...   and that includes the teams with BAD QBs that they massively overpaid because they felt they had no alternative.    Lather, rinse, repeat.  That's the goal of the NFLPA.

His wife at the time was the real family bread winner.  Don't discount the choices he made based on Giselle making bank.

If you can say that then you are correct, your point whatever it was definitely did.  What was your point?

The words you said, "Today's NFL is a running league” are demonstrably false. Not a single team with more rushing yards than passing yards.  Not even the Eagles.  The Bengals had 3 passing yards for every 1 rushing yard. Minnesota and Seattle had more than 2 passing yards for every 1 rushing yard.
