Ugh. I was holding on by a thread in D2 with new QB blood in Chicago.

I don't think there's a whole lot of room to "lose value" when your jumping off point was less than 50 catches, and less than 500 yards. There's a distinct possibility he does better, as none of the other passing game options in Houston are models of consistency, or even all that great at playing a full season, and he could easily be grab a higher target share than his counterparts at some point. And the team figures to be behind, a lot.

Personally never saw much value at all in Miller, so I'm pretty indifferent to this deal, but he certainly didn't go down in my book.

yea same here when your bad does it matter

Texans acquired WR Anthony Miller from the Bears.​

The deal also features a late-round pick swap. Long in Matt Nagy’s doghouse, Miller, 27 in October, arrives in Houston due $1.21 million on the final year of his rookie deal. It’s more of a nod to Chicago’s confidence in sophomore Darnell Mooney than it is the Texans buying into a fresh start for Miller, who’s blocked in the slot by veteran Randall Cobb. Miller averaged just three catches per game last year,

"He could face a lengthy suspension no matter where he lands. A police investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations against Watson remains open and 22 lawsuits against the quarterback are pending"

With all the Rodgers drama, I had forgotten just how bleak the outlook still is. Criminal investigation is still open...that alone makes him untouchable.
One or two allegations, ok, sure, innocent until proven guilty. 22?? The dude did something wrong, and did it often.
What worries me the most is, he can write 22 BIG checks, and if ONE legal charge sticks, this isn't Mike Vick where he'd do a little time and come back, we're talking r*pe..10-20 years in prison

I don't know. Ray Lewis basically helped kill a guy and it didn't hurt his legacy any.

I don't know. Ray Lewis basically helped kill a guy and it didn't hurt his legacy any.

But he, and his buddies, all got off...mainly because over a dozen people were in the brawl. But during that time, 20 years ago, his future was just as in doubt as Watsons should be right now. Today, yes, it's largely forgotten, and he'll always be remember as one of the, if not the best LB to play, but it definitely affected his perceived value to a team at the time.

It remains to be seen if Watson gets off. Can you realistically trade anything of real value for Watson, real or fantasy wise, with the criminal investigation still pending?? If we were heavily involved in IDP stuff 20 years ago, would we be giving anything of value for Ray during that time where he was openly under investigation and indicted, even though he was easily a top 2-3 IDP option in his time. And, unlike with Ray, Watson doesn't have two buddies, or a dozen other massage clients to pawn his indiscretions off on, hell he can't even claim it was some other massage client, because half these chick's weren't even masseurs, they're Instagram models or whatever, there's no doubt it was him, because they don't have other clients. The poor dumb bastard.

I had forgotten the criminal side was still open, and I'm sure the DA likely needs the alleged victims cooperation for any hope of a conviction, and I'm sure the terms of any settlements would preclude them cooperating..but it only takes the one who won't play ball.

Well you are talking to a guy that traded Rodgers and the 2.5 for Watson and Gallup in the off-season.

Rams coach Sean McVay said he believes Darrell Henderson is "an every-down back" but emphasized "needing to make sure he can stay durable."​

"It's never been an 'ability' question with Henderson," McVay expressed. "It’s about, 'How do we keep him available?' I can promise you you’re not seeing Henderson in a preseason game.” He also reiterated that the team isn't immediately exploring the veteran route following Cam Akers' (Achilles') injury. With Henderson's health at the forefront of McVay's approach, Xavier Jones and Jake Funk should be drafted as late-round ambiguous additions in hopes either emerge in a lesser role behind the former. Henderson should still be viewed as a middling/low-end RB2 in summer re-drafts, surging up boards ahead of Week 1 if the organization still hasn't added competition at that point.

so youre going with a new QB who has never played with any of these dudes before and the guy you're planning on lining up next to him or behind him for 3 downs isn't going to to see any preseason reps?
Brilliant

With Rodgers reporting today, I can finally comfortably say I was right.

Doesn’t mean I wasn’t stressed this offseason.

Considering the concession agreement he agreed to in order to report basically assures his departure next year...yes you were right, but it certainly wasn't because of a lack of effort on his part to get the hell outta Dodge.

He just didnt have the leverage some pretended he had. After they didnt trade him during the draft I was nearly certain he would be back or retire. We all know he thinks too much of himself to just walk away so playing one more year was the obvious choice. I will gladly take a ig trade for him next offseason. Also if he reworks his deal enough, we might be able to resign Adams before next ofseason.

I'm sure this has been discussed already somewhere this offseason... But the implications this has on a fantasy roster could be huge

Will Adams resign without Rodgers though? I'm split as to my thoughts. At 28, depending on the deal length, it could be his last big chance to have a major payday. Which, I guess, could be just fine for GB, if they have the money, and the desire to commit long term. But if they only want a 2-3 year extension, he'll be looking for another later on, and 2-3 years with Love throwing him the ball, might suffocate his numbers, thus driving his value on the next contract into the crapper.

But, if they are willing to give him a 5-6 year deal, meaning his next deal will be in his mid 30s, he'll know that that's his last big one, as no one is going to sign a 34+ year old receiver to an elite value contract.

It's an interesting query...

As soon as the Rodgers news broke he reopened his discussions with the team or at least his willingness to negotiate. He performed with Brett Hundley so I am not concerned about his numbers with Love. However he could be so who knows.

Aaron Rodgers was present for the start of Packers training camp.​

Rodgers sauntered into the team facility Tuesday morning after months of brinksmanship. It was only in June that the Jordan Love era appeared to be underway in Green Bay. But last-minute negotiations that could ensure Rodgers can escape the Packers snake pit after this season locked him in for one last ride in Green Bay. Rodgers' redraft ADP is sure to jump in the coming days, along with Davante Adams and Aaron Jones. Though his career-high 9.1 percent touchdown rate from 2020 is sure to fall a bit in 2021, Rodgers should be among the first non-rushing QBs off the draft board this summer.

Packers are going to bring Cobb back too. This is gonna be interesting.

Also they cut two QBs today. Bortles and some camp body.

That's good news for those down on the Anthony Miller deal a few days back. If that goes down, Miller is basically assured the #2 role behind Cooks, unless he falls on his face and let's Coutee beat him out
