Let's just say some Eagles fans are not into Joey Bosa after he ran his mouth and got into it with fans a few years ago while watching his brother's Niners lose.

By the way, I did not know that Joey Bosa and Nick Bosa are the grandsons of notorious Chicago mobster Tony "Joe Batters" Accardo. But that makes the above meme 1,000 times funnier and may be another reason he can't step foot in Philly, wrong territory. Joe Batter by the way is a nickname he got killing three people with a baseball bat. Al Capone is reported to have said, "this kid's a real Joe Batters!"

He seems to get hurt a lot. Also…I’m not interested in rooting for Floribama trash that loves to wear red hats if you know what I mean. And I can’t see that kind of a guy getting along on a defense with CJGJ haha.

This is two things:
1. Some teams can manage the cap and some can’t.
2. I heard Mike White is one of the least wealthy owners in the league. In order to game the cap, you need a committed owner with deep pockets that is willing to throw down the signing bonuses and guaranteed dollars.

I think if I'm the Chargers, I'd be okay with sending a 1st to get DK if I'm getting a 3rd back. From a value chart standpoint, that still puts Seattle as receiving a very late 1st round value but the Chargers can get a starter at a lower positional value in rd3 to make up for the salary hit they'll take.

I've seen KC being tied to DK and it doesnt make any sense at all. DK is a superstar athlete with mediocre route running? In our offense, we already have that with Xavier Worthy. We need the guy with stellar route running who may or may not be a plus athlete.
I was thinking DK to KC as well. Granted not a great route runner and a nut case, I could see a lot of production from him coming off of Mahomes scrambling ability.

But, can KC afford him? They also need LT help and a decent LT in FA is going to cost you. The draft is limited on LTs unless you strike gold in the mid rounds.

I'd be more for protecting Mahomes than finding him another target. Kelce also showing wear and tear could hurt that offense next year.

But, I'm all for it because I don't want to see him in NE.

Waaaaaay too much for that nut job. Physical talent can be measured in the millions, while his character and attitude can be measured in nickel and dimes.
How do you know so much about his character and his attitude? How long have you worked in the Seahawks organization and what was your level of access to observe this?

again....what are you even talking about? Said good deal for both team and player. Is there an injury risk? Sure...but made sense for both parties.

Must be a comprehension issue day for you? Really should try replying based on post and not poster.

It was faint praise by throwing that injury comment in there lol.

...and the Rams got to wipe the slate clean with that contract. He was expendable with the emergence of Limmer at C (putting Avila back to LG).
Seems like it works out for both teams. There’s advantages to not being stuck up against the cap.
