Now that the Hurts contract is on the books, Howie knows exactly how much room he has to get freaky with. Bubba should be here by the end of the day.

Brutal for his career.  Lance will have opportunity to take ownership of that job.

Jalen Hurts is one of the most popular players in the league. It'll be much easier to acquire free agents with him on the team.

wow. Looks like Hurts is gonna have to take AJ Brown to Applebee's

I hope not.  Isn't Applebee's where Tiger Woods met all the plaintiffs, and Steve McNair met his murderer?

I like him but I'm not paying that kind of money. He's not a 25 year old Dawk or Reed. 

Not really interested in Baker. 

But it's awesome to see how players seem to really want to play here.

No trade clause is interesting. If he continues to improve then that won't be a problem

Howie and Jeff truly love this guy if they agreed to that.  Taking a trading chip like that out of Howie's pocket takes a lot of work.

Don't think Baker is realistic for the Eagles. They don't pay safeties that kinda money.

Think Budda would come here with out reworking his deal?  Would be amazing if he could be had for a 3rd.  Being the nice guy I am i'd even include K'Von Wallace

Or perhaps the Eagles have treated him very well and helped him through some difficult times in his career, especially when he had that mental breakdown.

Have some of you guys had just terrible managers/bosses in your lives? It seems like a lot of scenarios here are based on people being treated by the stick instead of the carrot.

I do think Lurie’s falling out with Joe Banner had to do with how he treated players in negotiations.  I think their reputation about caring about players is well earned. 

I have always wondered if Johnson’s suit against the NFL and NFLPA didn’t result in some concessions by the NFL.  I negotiated deals to end appeals in cases we had "won” so I know it does happen.  Even given Lane’s tenacity in pursuing the NFL and NFLPA, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are a bit scared of him.

I'd run that card up myself if Bijan was available at 30..

That was too much money for hurts

Draft Network has Deonte Banks as their number 79 overall player FWIW

More rumblings the Texans will pass on QB at 2.

Probably will go full upscale to the Red Lobster.

Yep, never say never, but it's highly likely someone will get him in the teens or 20s.  That pick at 10 will be interesting.  Quite a few good names playing positions of need are available.  It's gonna be hard to mess up that pick.

We've got a window to win right now, and a 3rd in this draft should do the trick, maybe a conditional pick in a future draft.  Howie might have to get creative with the contract, but Budda will get paid.  This guys a 5x pro bowler and a former all pro who runs 4.45 40.  Get R done.

Yeah, no discount and a no trade. That's what pisses me off the most. If he plays well that won't matter. If he pulls a Wentz and takes a step back or gets hurt and isn't the same...they are stuck with him. It makes no sense to me why they would throw that in when he wasn't giving them a deal.

8 out of 10 Howies but it would have been 10 out of 10 if you switch Bijan with an OT.

Based on what?   Russ got a 5 year / $240 million contract.  You don't think Jalen's worth 5 / $255?  Are you a Cowboys fan or what?
