fuck cam newton for signing with the bad guys.

Waiting to announce this to bury the Bengals videotape punishment news is definitely peak Pats. 

Down to Jacksonville vs Detroit for the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes. Never say never but depends on how fast Stafford goes down.

I never bought the idea they were tanking in the slightest. Even with Stidham I would have pegged them with a floor of at least 6 or 7 wins. 

I'd have Washington and Carolina in the mix for the #1 pick.

Cam is going to have the same issue that Tom Brady deal last season lack of weapons but I think they make the po though

Agreed that their skill positions are poor but Cam is really the perfect quarterback for that sort of situation as Kid sort of alluded to, as he really does create the offence himself. He's never had a good group of receivers - but he did make big receivers who struggled to get separation like Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess look serviceable, and the Pats have N'Keal Harry on the roster. 

If you want to look at it from a glass half full perspective, this Patriots roster is very similar to the 2015 Panthers when Cam won MVP. An elite defence, a good offensive line, poor receivers.

Cam is the perfect fit. I am curious to see if he and Edelman clash though. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Edelman traded during the season if he’s not injured in the first month. Edelman is going to miss Brady and Cam will run through a gap before he passes to Edelman. I don’t know if they’ll work well together.

As for the worst team, I’m going with Carolina and that is with CMC putting together a 3000 yard season.

Cam did have an ace TE in Greg Olson though.   Right now he dosen't even have that in NE.

And Steve Smith early in Newton's career who at his tailend is better than Edelman wishes he could be.

I wouldn’t be surprised if New England grabs OJ Howard. Maybe he could have a resurgence in a change of scenery like Eric Ebron did when he left Detroit.

Maybe Delanie Walker who is a FA.

Sounds like TB wants to hang onto Howard due to Gronk's injury past.

I'm predicting that Cam Newton is the Pats starting QB next season.

Called it! 

It's astonishing that all the other teams just sat around and allowed this to happen. I know there are injury concerns, but he's 31 years old and a former MVP!! He's getting paid just a little bit more than Chase Daniel for goodness sake.

Fuck I'm amped for football now. Hurry up September.

Just to amend this as I rushed to post without really looking at the contract details, Newton's base is supposedly the league minimum plus incentives. Chase Daniel is getting paid more than Cam, and Jameis Winston combined. 🤔

Texans considering moving for Antonio Brown. Surely there's no way Bill O'Brien would sign anybody with his track record. It would also be insane to trade assets/picks for a WR, when it's a solid enough group even without Hopkins.

AB to Houston would right all of his wrongs, IMO.

As for the New England TE situation. David Njoku has demanded a trade from Cleveland. NE might go after him or he’ll end up elsewhere but he’s not staying in Cleveland so we’ll see.

Yes playing football again would definitely make up for the fact that he raped a woman. 🤔

I meant right all OBriens wrongs lol.

Plus accusations of raping women in the NFL and NBA and SOCCER have names like Big Ben, Kobe and Ronaldo. How’d their careers go? How did those accusations end?

Not sure how someone can comeback after this:



This makes nZo AKA Real 1 'Rise like a Phoenix" look legit as a rapper.


EDIT: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Mahomes extension is 10 years and worth up to $503 million.

Holy actual fuck.

The 10 year thing is fun for headlines but basically irrelevant because he'll never play out the time on this contract.

I actually think he's probably underpaid, he could have got $50m per - but with that said I wonder whether this is the tipping point where teams will now start to genuinely consider how they approach their QB situation, and whether or not they are better off letting their average/above average starters walk after their rookie contracts and take their chances on replacing them in the draft. If I were the Cowboys for instance I absolutely wouldn't pay Dak Prescott.

I am wondering what contract will Dak will be getting or seeking after Mahomes getting his not that Dak is great as Mahomes which he isn’t

I still don’t understand how NFL contracts work. I read that $477 mil is guaranteed in certain ways. So does that mean if he only plays 5 years he still gets $477 million?

I also read that he’ll likely just sign a new deal in 4 or 5 years and this current contract is just to get him his fuck you money before he takes a more team friendly deal or signs elsewhere.

Normally I would agree but Mahomes is only 24 years old and QBs play longer than ever now.   Mahomes would be only 34 if he plays out the deal that isn't old by any means for today's QB's.   If Mahomes keeps up the same level of play he could easily play through this contract.

There is "rolling guarantees" so he'd have to play the full length of the contract to get the entire value. It's $141 million guaranteed if he's on the roster at March 2022, for example.

He might well still be playing for the Chiefs by then, but what I was saying is that he won't be playing on this contract. It's not linked to a percentage of the salary cap so he will certainly be considered underpaid in a few years time when other less talented quarterbacks surpass him. Jared Goff is averaging 33.5 million per year right now.

Assuming his health and quality of play remain consistent he’ll almost definitely be in KC in 12 years, but I agree that it won’t be on this deal. It’s not really sensible for the best NFL QB’s to switch teams (though Dak is walking down the Kirk Cousins path of being an above average QB that forces his way into a lot of money) so unless for some reason KC decides they’re done with him he’ll be there.

I’m not particularly bothered by the deal, though I think it makes the road ahead considerably more difficult for KC. They didn’t really have a choice on this one.

Exactly. This is a win-win for KC. I presume there are several ways to get out of it if it doesn't work, but what it does accomplish is it stops Mahomes going anywhere until he's basically past his prime or has sudden severe regression through injury or whatever. The actual money is meaningless because it'll be restructured more than once before it's done with.

Desean Jackson shared an anti-Jewish text written by Hitler on his Instagram. Dude couldn’t let Mahomes take all the headlines I guess.

Why isn't there more outrage for this like when Drew Brees said his stupid crap about a month ago? What an awful statement. 

I think it's definitely disappointing that there have only been a handful of NFL players coming out to criticise this, Jackson has doubled down on his stance and has received support from some other players like Marquise Goodwin. Guys like Malcolm Jenkins who were very passionate about what Brees said and the idea that silence = violence should be on the front foot here as well.

One of the really positive things about the recent wave of protests is how we've seen a lot of unity across racial lines behind the cause of ending inequality. Jackson is doing the complete opposite of that by being anti-Semitic and then claiming he doesn't need to apologise because he's a black man and therefore is somehow immune from being racist himself.

I hope the Eagles release Desean Jackson but they won’t.

Only white people get fired for racism. Shame.

Ex NBA player Stephen Jackson even commended him and guys like Jameis Winston & Kevin Durant thumb upped the post by Desean. I don't get it. Is it because some black people believe they are the true descendants as Israelite's?
