His knees are shot dont blame them. Plus since they have a RB playing QB they dont need to heavily invest at that position IMO.

So apparently Gurley isn't even a better option than Ty'Son Williams now. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

NFL reported Josina Anderson said the Ravens aren't "expected to pursue Todd Gurley, at this time."​

Gurley visited with the Ravens in June, fueling speculation that the team could sign him after losing J.K. Dobbins to a season-ending knee injury. Anderson reports the Ravens are comfortable with their running back depth chart, which now features Gus Edwards at the top and preseason star Ty'Son Williams as the No. 2 RB. Edwards' ADP will rocket into the fourth or fifth round of 12-team drafts following Dobbins' injury.

Rams ate so much money on that deal...if his knees could hold up to an NFL season again, no way they would've cut him. By my estimations, the Rams will finally start to have a little cap space around the same time they make another 1st round pick......

@Bandit - I like the Ty'Son move over Hill, I think this is the proper 'zig' to everyone's initial 'zag' when evaluating in-house options for Ravens RB2. Hill's been given a shot, and hasn't done anything yet to prove he's earned anything more than a few touches per week. Could totally see them just roll with the grinders at RB and dare DC's to bring everyone to the line.

Hill is a better fit for the passing game work but who wants the pass catching RB on the Ravens???
Those glory days were Flacco-ball, that's not the game LJax plays.

I will only point out that "the Ravens are comfortable with their running back depth chart" was the exact words we heard, verbatim, out of the Rams camp for a month after Akers injury. Then they traded for Michel. Granted, the Ravens could stick any random douche-canoe back there and with defenses focusing on Lamaar running, the guy will be successful, while the Rams do actually need someone with talent (no idea why its Michel though given that requirement, but that's a different conversation).

So..I'll buy it once I've seen it.

highly doubt they are happy with the current active depth chart, but that doesn't change my thought that Ty'Son is the current RB on their roster to target in fantasy behind Gus Bus, as it stands today.

As is, given the most recent blurbs, I would have to agree %100.

As is...today....for now

Seems likle another power back at 6' 220 I haven't heard anything about his catching abilities which likely means he isn't strong in that department. If Hill doesn't play on passing downs the Ravens might as well cut him.

he's a beast on ST, so he prob always makes the end of the roster as long as he does that well, especially on a team like the Ravens that typically boast above avg ST units.

also still a cheap asset, so if he's providing value anywhere, it makes sense to retain him until it comes time to re-up his deal. You don't give Gus the number of carries he's received the last 2 years if you think Hill has any real juice in him, just sayin'

I'm not sure that outside of the 2 minute drill or comeback mode, that there are "passing downs".
Honestly they'd be better off lining up 5 wide, sending everyone deep, and telling Lamaar to beat the spy with his legs for chunk yardage

Patriots released QB Cam Newton.​

The Mac Jones era begins in New England after the team's shocking release of Newton, who drew continuous praise from head coach Bill Belichick during his sting with the team. The unvaccinated Newton missed a critical week of joint practices after a COVID-19 testing mixup prevented him from entering the team facility. Jones then took all the Pats' first-team reps and perhaps established himself as the unquestioned starter. Jones will head into the regular season without the threat of Newton taking goal line carries -- a boon for both Jones, Damien Harris, and the rest of the team's skill position players.

1st surprise of cut downs. I mean I agree with them completely because I think Cam is terrible, but definitely unexpected. I think this bumps the value of all Patriot skill guys especially the running backs since the #1 touchdown vulture is now gone.

That is a bit of a surprise. Have to see how Jones does in regular season play, before I give the other position players a bump myself. However trade value for those players likely just got a nice bump.

And the legend of Stevenson slowly begins to take shape...

I'm with you on this one - rookie QB gonna support a grinder RB, passing down RB, Myers/Agholor at WR and both TEs this year?
I guess pats heading back to the SB already, lol

 

[TREFF]

I dunno what to make of what it means for the Wr's. It certainly doesn't hurt their outlook from my perspective, as I didn't wanna touch them with Newton under center. But I am more likely to stash Aggie or Myers as a in case of emergency type flex option now than I was with Newton around.

I also didn't want much to do with the TE's either, as regardless of who the QB is, neither one of them can stay upright for more than 5 or 6 games at a time. So I don't dock them either..but I still don't want em. Henry is the new Jordan Reed, and Smith ain't a ton better.

but, the RB's get a bump, if for no other reason than BB is not going to risk his future TB on a QB off tackle plays around the goal line.

hopefully the kid is at least a Alex Smith type. Smart, safe, get the ball out quick and let the the skill position guys make the plays after, and punting isn't always a bad thing. That'll be more efficient, albeit very much less exciting, than anything Cam has ever done

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Texans aren't expected to trade QB Deshaun Watson by the league's 4 p.m. EST roster cut-down deadline.​

It's hardly a surprise but it is confirmation that Watson -- facing sexual assault allegations from more than 20 women -- will land on Houston's 53-man roster. The teams is reportedly prepared to make Watson an inactive every week of the regular season while everyone involved waits for the NFL to take action. The Texans could wind up paying Watson $10 million to stay home in 2021. Tyrod Taylor will start the season as Houston's quarterback though rookie QB Davis Mills will surely get starts in 2021.

 

[wilwhite]

So... where does Cam go?

Houston?

 

[HaroldSeattle]

A rookie QB likely checks down more so James White and the TEs could benefit from Cam getting cut.

 

[eaglesnut]

So... where does Cam go?

Houston?

His career is over.

It was already over, and for some reason Bill extended it, but is over now.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

So... where does Cam go?

Houston?

Well if he does we best pick him up so we can still have all of the Houston RB's.............

 

[TKOSpikes]

So... where does Cam go?

Houston?

poor Tyrod… but not too many other places to land.
