Random NFL talk

$40M per is crazy. It's just too soon for that. It only goes up a couple million per year. But, I suspect after this upcoming season Chase is not only the highest paid WR but the first one you guys are all taking in your FF drafts too. Bet this man this year and his QB too. It's going to be huge. IF...they both can stay healthy. I already have my "over" bets in on both of them

He's trying to get in before the market correction, imo. I think there is far too much of supply on quality WRs these days to continue the trend of overpays that we are seeing. Yes, certain guys are elite or very good but I think GMs are going to realize soon that putting all your resources into that position doesn't really help you win championships. Thinking back, the only teams that won SBs with an elite WR were the Chiefs with Hill ( and 2 more without him ) and the Colts with Harrison in this century. Common denominator being HOF QBs. Maybe Demaryius Thomas but the Broncos won with defense. The rest have relied on a bunch of pretty good guys and possession receivers or great defense.

So true and so annoying

So true and so annoying

Yep, annoying as hell. The other one is the DB who's been getting torched all game and his team is down 2+ scores late. He makes a big open field hit on a screen pass and starts thumping his chest like King Kong. It's a "look at me" world.
I was watching kids in the LLWS kids the other day bat flipping and doing stuff like the Ohtani wave when they get hits. One kid is gyrating and dancing after hitting a double and the announcers are talking about how "cool" that is. Maybe I'm just old but my LL coach would have had my ass riding the pine for the rest of the game if I tried to show people up.

I saw talk of that yesterday. Can he still play CB? Because he won't help the Cowboys at safety. Once Bland is back he'd be at best their #4 CB. For his $1M per year salary and assuming he costs a 5th or less I'd do it for the 6 to 8 weeks Bland is out IF he can still play CB well enough. I'm just not sure he is better than the rookie Carson, Booth or some of the other guys they have at this point.

 

[Iggloo]

Honestly, not really. He looks a step slow at this stage. He looked OK at safety because he is a smart player who understands coverages, but I think he has lost the foot speed needed to play corner in the NFL.

That's not a huge surprise on Chubb, but still sucks. Good for the Cowboys who play the Browns on opening day.

Chubb was never an option for opening day.

day off?

Not surprised about Chubb, better to play it safe for the Browns than risk another injury - besides Jerome Ford has done a good job of leading the Browns backfield in Chubb’s absence.

Now that the Cowboys locked up Ceedee Lamb, we will have to see if they lock up Dak. I suspect they will not, and will let him walk. But Trey Lance is clearly not the heir apparent, so they will need to draft a QB if they move on from Dak.

Now that the Cowboys locked up Ceedee Lamb, we will have to see if they lock up Dak. I suspect they will not, and will let his play this season determine if they pay him.

correct statement...

little help for the less informed. BUT HEY..Jerry could sign him this week.
