Vikings trying to get in a spot to get a QB I guess. This is why I am waiting till end of the month to run that mock draft UT  

#11 and #22 is getting you into the top 5 for sure, maybe JJ McCarthy? Probably threatened by NYG? Jim Harbaugh would gladly assist his former QB getting picked as high as possible, maybe Vikings have been chatting with the Chargers?

(Probably shoulda put this in draft thread oh wells)

I do not like that deal for Houston.

Also I really hope it’s for McCarthy.

NYG put it out there they like McCarthy, not sure if this is a bluff but maybe the Vikings are trying to swing past them for him.

Odd move by the Texans. Maybe part of a bigger plan, it’s strange to make that sort of trade so far out from the draft.

I guess you guys are targeting WR and it's a super deep class and outside the big 3(Nabers/MHJR/Odunze) who you won't pick high enough to nab, maybe there isn't much separating your team's draft chart from late round 1 to mid round 2. 

Aaron Donald retiring WOW. Massive blow for the Rams. 

He talked about doing this last year so not totally out of left field and he gives them a chance to beef up the front(Albeit he waited until after free agency which kinda sucks) in the draft. Still big blow.

I agree but such assessments usually take place on draft night. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Texans make another surprising move somewhere soon.

Vikings probably want to get a deal done to get ready to shoot for a QB and probably spoke with bunch of teams so Texans didn't want to miss out. 2025 2nd could be high if Darnold or whoever is starting at QB.

Official. 

Good for him. Make a ton of money and get out while your body is still in decent shape.

That’s crazy that he waiting this long, granted it’s not like the Rams could have replaced him anyways in free agency but they could have put some resources there. Good for him though. Arguably the most dominate player of his generation.

Pittsburgh alum and Steeler Kenny Pickett getting traded to Philly.....

I think that’s so cool of Pitt to be honest. Why let him rot on your bench when you know he’s not your future. Why waste his time and your franchises time? Last thing you need is the fans to chant “We want Pickett” if Russ doesn’t perform well right away. Take the draft pick L to the chin and move on. You don’t need a Daniel Jones.

Pickett is going to sit back behind a guy who just got paid a mega deal in Hurts. 

Mason Rudolph is gone to TEN, so I have no idea who is there to be behind Russ Wilson? Are they drafting a new QB? Trading for one of the 2021 NFL Draft signal callers? 

I know I’ve been hard on Dillon in the past but that man putting his money where his mouth is about how much he loves Green Bay and wants to play her by coming back for 1.2 million is admirable. And all things considered … he is a solid backup and good in pass protection and great locker room guy so I’m glad to see him back.

Texans have restructured Mason’s contract. Feels like one more move is coming. Might be wrong, might just be making room to extend Collins or something like that, but I think there’s one big-ish signing left.

Just figured Pickett would sit a year behind Russ, so, don't know where the QB situation is going in the future. Really surprising move, went from a starter and 2 backups to just a starter.

The report is that Pittsburgh didn’t like Pickett’s reaction to them bringing Russ in, so it doesn’t sound like it was preplanned. Jackass move on his part, he has far less chance of seeing the field in Philly.

Yeah apparently he was told that he’d be in a competition next year and then after the signing Tomlin flat out told him that Russ would be the leader to get the job.

Either way Russ is not good and a terrible fit for Smiths offense so the Steelers aren’t going anywhere.

Jets sign Tyron Smith, again he has health issues so I still want an OT but yeah buddy Rome Odunze if he makes it past NYG/CHI is gonna be a Jet. 1 year 20 mil after incentives....

LT: Tyron Smith
LG: John Simpson
C: Joe Tippmann
RG: AVT
RT: Morgan Moses
RESERVES: Max Mitchell, Carter Warren, Jake Hansen.

IDK if there's a spot for Bahktiari. 

If Jets can get Boyd or Mike Williams, the dark horse is TE Bowers. 

Great signing for the seven games he will play!

He should have read my post, I told him there wasn’t going to be a competition. :lol:

I’m giving him the benefit of a doubt, had one down year after a decade of high production, then last year rebounded to some decent numbers with a shit Broncos unit. Pitt had 10 wins with virtually no QB production, with Watt’s main supporters injured most of the year on defense, just needs to be in the middle of the league.

The stats from last season are very misleading, it was mainly Payton’s coaching. He barely threw past the line of scrimmage. Middle of the league play for him would be a big step up from what we’ve seen the past two seasons, and the Steelers supporting cast is similar to Denver’s.

And like UT said it’s a bad stylistic match. Arthur Smith’s offence is running the ball with play action to attack the middle of the field, and Russ has never thrown the ball over the middle because of his height.

Denver had one of the worst defenses in the league, putting all the pressure on the offense, and their top RB was behind Steelers’ 2nd rusher; Russ had one of the best on target pass %, and Steelers WR’s are getting open, just need the pass to be there. And you never really know about styles until the whole crew is together and everything is implemented, sometimes the cards fall just right and they find a sweet spot between two styles; not everybody is Canada just shoving a random gameplan in without at all considering the personnel.

Could all go wrong, but, like I said, benefit of a doubt, I’m gonna be optimistic for the time being. Was better than anything they’ve had the last three seasons.

Better than the 5 games that Bahktiari will play in. :suspic: 

So that Robert F Kennedy Jr guy is having some Nicole Shanahan as his vice president not Aaron Rodgers so CNN/Pamela Brown held "here-say" for over a decade all because Rodgers was a football player and not a rumored political figure but it turns out....he's always been a football player so CNN/Pamela Brown lose instant credibility in the eyes of plenty.

Happy this means Rodgers can just focus on the fucking football. Unfunny(His oscar hosting was really bad) and former Man Show cog Jimmy Kimmel is desperately trying to bait him with the Sandy Hook nonsense which has been debunked but stay the course please. No more psychedelics drug conferences or Joe Rogan appearances. Just football. Thx.

Oh come on is Atlanta Arthur Smith taught us anything it’s that he refuses to adapt to his personnel. Ever.

Fields to Pittsburgh now too. Jeez.
