2024 Free agency and draft thread

I also think the Cooper deal makes sense for both sides.

If the Jets don't want Reddick for more than a one-year rental, then they are even dumber than I thought. Trading for a player who is clearly unhappy to play on the final year of his existing contract and expecting him to just suck it up and suit up for his new team is...a choice.

He has to suit up at some point, which makes him available if they make the playoffs, or he's back at it again the next year and he'll be fined while he's out

Yep. These players are fucked. The management / player dynamic in the NFL is the most skewed of all the leagues when it comes to that situation. The NFL player has zero leverage unless they’re a bona fide superstar.

This part I totally agree with though. The player shouldn't be able to hold out the whole year and then just become a free agent.

In a vacuum I agree. However, we can say this about teams who can just cut players at any time without honoring the contract they negotiated. The NFL is incredibly one sided. It’s short sighted and it’s going to ruin the league eventually.

In a world of CTE and a huge decrease in youth football participation it’s only a matter of time before players with multiple sport options in droves don’t choose football anymore.

The third option on the Cleveland Cavaliers now makes the same AAV as Patrick Mahomes.

Lions resign Decker for 3 years. I love it, keeps the bookends locked in for long term, gives Lions 3 years to try and prove Manu can improve like Mailata.....or find a different successor.

Love and Tua Tongue-Oh-Vai-Loah (yes I'm typing that out, because I'm getting sick of people and paid professionals working in the NFL/broadcasting not knowing how to pronounce the mother fuckers name when he literally sounded it out that way on an interview) to those contracts? WOOF.

Maybe the Bills when Allen gets hurt after all the hits he has taken over the years?

They already have their scrub in Trubisky

It's very simple, he's Tua. What other Tua is there in the league for people to confuse him with? People don't bother saying Antetokounmpo either lol.

BOOM.

Certain players are known by their first name. Like Kobe, rarely heard people refer to him by his last name Bryant even though it is a lot easier to pronounce than either of the other 2.

To this day I still couldn't state his name correctly if you offered me a thousand bucks to get it right.

What a disaster the signing of JuJu was for the Pats. He barely made an impact. It’s weird because he was very productive in 2022 with the Chiefs, then again playing with Mahomes is much different than playing with Mac Jones/Bailey Zappe.

He was injured in his last chiefs game.
He was never the same. Can only blame Patriots for signing him.

So is he cooked or worth another team taking a flier on? I only ask, because I think Jordan Addison is going to get a 3 game suspension and the Vikings don't have much depth behind him.

If he was still on the Patriots I'd call him a star and hope for a trade.
Since he was cut, I'll just be honest and say he could not make a college team now.....

If a team like the Steelers who are familiar with him have no interest and are desperate for WR's. Then I think he is cooked.

It's funny, local sports talk guys wanted him for the Bills (mostly for the story/jokes) when their 3rd string got hurt in the first preseason game. They'll have to settle for Ben DiNucci.
