I wonder if Sherman suffered a concussion when he wrecked his car... if he already has cte, it could have caused a psychotic break. 

More than likely the 2 bottles of vodka, mixed with whatever painkilling medication most of those guys are on.

Agree, or it's even a case of someone coming to terms with the fact his career is over and his place in the world has gone. Who is Richard Sherman without the NFL/football at the centre of his life? 

ironic if you look back at his outspoken grievances he aired out about the NFL  during his prime.   I recall him being pretty ungrateful to the people who employed him and made him so manny millions

Yeah I'm not a fan.  I didn't get why he was getting more hype than Quez coming out of the draft.  The guy catches with his body and not his hands, that never works out well meanwhile Quez has the speed but can make some great catches with his hands, at least from what I saw in his college highlights.

 

Hightower to me is nothing more than another Sheldon Gibson.  His speed is nice but it doesn't mean crap to me if he can't catch a football with his hands.  

 

Smith, Reagor, Fulgham, Quez, Ward & JJAW are my guesses for who makes the roster.  Maybe we only keep 5 but I think it's possible we end up keeping 6 as Roseman gives his JJAW one more year to try to salvage Howie's rep.  

 Yup seems last year there were more than a few posters on the hightower hype train ore and post draft.

Personally Iiked Watkins over hightower pre draft.

Hightower on tape just showed very little physicality in college and that continued in his rookie year, combine that with his inability to catch the ball and I wasn't impressed.

Having said that his ability to get open deep and create deep separation is an important skill set and if he cant catch the ball or get  open on anything other than a go route he'll be cut.

I hope he makes it having a consistent deep threat at Z could really help the Offense.

We'll see I'm not expecting much from him.

I’m so over these flawed wr’s we keep drafting and all the hype and eventual disappointment that comes with them.

I think his get open deep ability loses a little value though when we have Reagor and Watkins who have that get open deep speed and if college is any indication Smith should also be able to get open down the field with his route running and how he sets defenders up to bite at moves. 

 

This young WR has some more speed and deep field ability all around compared to 2018 & 2019 mostly slow WR groups.

I think you’re confusing me with the other poster I was saying this same thing to. Thanks for chiming in, but you might want to read up on the exchange before you say things like this.   Because I have been arguing this all day.   Thanks tho.  

Which is what I was telling Wentz11.  Just because he had a 4.0 doesn’t mean he’s not capable of doing something stupid like this.   You’re also agreeing with me.  

I’m glad to help.  The irony is that if you had just said "he may be smart but not wise” instead of calling him "stupid”…most would have likely agreed with you and there wouldn’t of been 2 pages of debate.  🤓

Hightower and Watkins are both draft "fliers" at #168 and #200.  There shouldn't be any hype around 5th and 6th round picks.  

Hightower has the ability to get open deep against NFL CB, which is not a small skill -- but for it to be useful he needs to have a catch % near 50%.  10 catches on 29 targets is nowhere near good enough, so nobody should be surprised if the new coaching staff decides to cut bait (although I think he'll land on the PS).  Quez Watkins didn't exactly set the world on fire, either.  He was injured coming out of camp so he had even less opportunity.  

The point is, those are still pretty much open roster spots.  If one of those two guys makes the active roster then we'll see if they have any impact.  Smith, Reagor, Fulgham, Ward (that's a really uninspiring #3 and 4), then a mixed bag with JJAW, Hightower, Watkins, etc.

Unreal that Tannenbaum has a  job. 

There is nothing wrong with what he said.  Before the legal stuff, it was no secret that he wanted out of Houston.  Eagles have the draft capital, and he is a franchise QB.  If his legal situation is resolved, and no NFL suspension, I would actually be shocked if the Eagles did not acquire him.

No problem with him going with BTC , I think it’s smart , but to say you can’t create generational wealth with the 31 million he will make , is non sense  .

 

 

I don't agree. First off it is not easy to create generational wealth with $31 million. Can it be done? Absolutely, but it will take a lot of luck, making the right investments and hoping that very little fails. The second thing is if he even gets to $31 million to begin with. He does play in the roughest sport at a position that doesn't last.

While he has some endorsement deals, he doesn't have the same kind of opportunity to make money outside of football like the QBs in the league do.

$31 million may seem like a lot, but when you are talking about creating generational wealth, money that can be passed down from generation to generation, it really is nothing.

he could give 3 kids and 9 grand children multi millions before they're born and before he invests a dime.

So his grandchildren's colleges are paid for, there homes are paid for and a have millions in the bank. They may have to work but would have millions in the bank and zero debt. 

That is not generational wealth.

$10M is more than enough, invest it for 20 years, and it should be closer to $40M by the time your kids are adults.

Bit coin is a pure speculative venture, and as Musk belatedly realized, has high transaction costs (energy intensive). There is no intrinsic value and at some point the bubble will burst.

Generational wealth is in the $100s of millions to billions. That is wealth in stock, bonds, assets that grow over time and are handed down from generation to generation.

Why do you think he picked out people like KD, LeBron and Brady? All these guys have massive amounts of wealth and investments that will last for generations.

Bitcoin is very speculative but since he believes in it, I think he is doing the right thing. He is not investing his own money into it right now and essential is exchanging sweat equity for Bitcoin. If it goes up fantastic - if it breaks he possibly lost on potential earnings, but really it was him wasting his time.

Everyone is thinking of it from their POV and financial place in life. These guys are on a much higher level then most of us are.

I was gonna say the same thing. Nothing he said in that video makes him look foolish. Now he said other things in the past that I’d agree makes him look foolish. 

The Dolphins there’s been rumors that they might move on from Tua Tagovailoa if they could acquire a QB like watson. The panthers aren’t tied to darnold. They could easily remove the fifth year option or even deal him if they made that move to get watson. So both of those teams have been interested and rumored to be before this off the field stuff started for watson. 

I know @4for4EaglesNest and I have been saying for a while now that we both believed if watson didn’t have the off the field stuff or if cleared they were building up capital to make a move like this. there’s been now a report from schefter. Mclane put out there be eagles/howie would "give up everything to get watson (Granted before the issues off the field)”. Peter king alluding to the eagles being his no. 1 spot once watson got cleared and was able to be traded. rappoport dropping a tweet saying the eagles were trying to move up for a QB in the draft. caplan/mosher on their podcast months ago saying the eagles didn’t expect to be in this spot with hurts and they didn’t view him as a starter (along with Doug saying what he did last week).

All of that could just be BS orrrrrr just maybe the Eagles could view Watson (if the off the field issues are resolved with charges being dropped) as a legitimate top 10 if not top 5 (for the next 7-10 years) quarterback who is only 25 years old as to why they are willing to give up draft capital to acquire him ( again assuming what schefter, Peter king and now Tannebaum have said where the off the field issues are eventually resolved.)

Not that I think it would happen, but it would be pretty funny if the end story to all of this is just DeShaun saying "Nah".

Yup the last two spots should come down to who can contribute on special teams.

Hightower didn't play any teams last year which could hurt his chances at sticking over a guy like walker who can play all over special teams.

I can't imagine JJAW has any chance at making the roster, he offers nothing on teams or on offense which means Howie will probably keep him👎

If watson didn’t have the off the field stuff i think he’d likely pick the broncos to go to. With everything else going on even if it’s resolved not sure his agent or he wants to play the i don’t want to go there card. Could be a really bad look on top of the other off the field stuff going on. I still think there’s a chance rodgers ultimately ends up on the Broncos at some point.

I agree with schefter, tannebaum and Peter king that the eagles draft asset wise make the most sense. They’d need to convince him but i don’t think that’s as far fetched today then before a lot this stuff came out.
