I'm with ya on the apparent double standard. They could've gotten something for Watt. I get not wanting to part with a young stud QB and how a 30-something DE/OLB is a different ball of wax..but..just don't make no sense how night and day they're being treated by Houston

Yep. Exactly. I get the age and positional stuff i do. But edge guys are what? At worst a top 3 position in todays nfl...Like you could of attempted to get a late round draft pick. Dont tell me hes not tradeable. You think another team in the running wouldnt of given up a seventh and paid him his 17.5 as opposed to 15.5.....to ensure they get him....bullspat imho

What has you wondering about my post? Them finishing 3rd in that division?

Quite honestly, if we dont get a serviceable QB, i could see us finishing last. Bears have a tougher schedule this year. And while the Lions may have a new QB and new HC, sometimes that can give a team an adrenaline rush. Whereas Bears have the same ole Nagy.

What that line from Star Wars? "I got a bad feeling about this."

Sorry. Was zoning out on a NFC north divisional thought.

I dont think AZ may finish 3rd. They split with SEA and SF last season. And if my FSOS numbers are any indication, SEA has the hardest schedule against opposing defenses whereas AZ has the softest.
I think LAR run away with the division. But its a coin toss for 2nd place imo.

With SF getting healthy, I think they finish much better than last year. Its all speculation now at this point.

don't see your team on the list?
that's cause they are so far in the hole, they're fucked

(or the salary cap is a myth? could be the way teams work it)

Lol yeah, at best!

assuming there's no money for Conner or Juju, think they'll be running Snell/McFarland or dip back into the draft for RB?
got to figure they have WR locked down with Claypool/Johnson but still need to put as many weapons around Ben for his last run, I'd assume

They cant he happy with snell , hes been just bad. But as far as mcfarland, perhaps, they like his game, but he was limited. Personally i see a veteran coming in, cheaper with a chance to start. Someone like jamal williams.

they still have claypool, johnson, and james washington...need a tight end...

The latest Rotoworld (eh, hem) NBC Sports Edge blurb said PIT plans on moving on from Connor.

Makes Steelers a interesting landing spot for both FA and rookies. Rookie being less costly money wise if cap consideration come into play.

They will. But thats not a snell endorsement.

He was a late pick ...dont think it was neccessarily a hes gonna be your starter pick. He could, but couldnt get on the field last year.

Steelers have a fairly full slate of picks ( missing round 5), so what are the odds they draft a RB in round 3 or 4? Would they consider drafting a RB round 2?

Lot cheaper $ wise to draft a RB.

Cost under a million if drafted after round 1. A FA of note is going to run a lot more $ wise.
