  1. Eh, wide receivers are a dime a dozen, right?
  2. As opposed to staying in LA with one year left? Post a list of all the 30+ year old non-QBs in NFL history who have held out of an $18MM deal…
  3. Did you watch the NFL last year? Compare Keenan Allen’s numbers to Nico; this would have been a hell of a one-year rental. He missed some time with injury in 2022; other than that he’s caught at least 95 passes every year since 2016. It didn’t work out, but a dude like this on a one-year deal would be huge for CJ’s development. This is real football, not your fucking fantasy team….
  4. It quit mattering years ago, and probably wouldn’t have mattered that night, but with 43 seconds left we were down by 5 and Syracuse was inbounding on the sideline, and their inbound guy took three lateral steps, which should have been our ball. tl;dr - that loss sucked but that year was fun as hell…
  5. That was an epic week of national tours; within an 8-day span you had that show, U2, and two consecutive nights of Pink Floyd. The 2nd of those Floyd shows is when I definitively answered the question “Is it possible to die from an overdose of LSD?” (shockingly, no!) The FEC was a shit venue for music and basketball, but for better or for worse it was what we had. Probably my worst experience there was paying $29 (a lot of fucking money for me back then) to see a Tyson fight on closed-circuit and being in the pisser when he knocked out Michael Spinx in the first 35 seconds or some such shit…
  6. Sure feels like things are getting lined up for some kind of trade; we’ll see….
  7. Too lazy to do the math but the net/net of the Deshaun/Will A/Vikings deals keeps looking better. If that fucking aggy guard can get his shit together this year it looks even better….
  8. Kid just hasn’t given them any reason at all to waste any more time in the minors. He’s ready…
  9. Better to have weed and not need it than to need weed and not have it..
  10. Yeah I’m not too worried; there are still rotational pieces left in FA, plus the draft will shake loose a few veterans; there’s also June 1st cuts and the trade market. Agree with the above that this doesn’t mandate that we take an DT in Round 1. I’d say QB and DE are off the table because of existing talent on the roster, LB, S, RB, and TE because of a combo of positional value and the talent in this particular draft. That leaves WR, OL, DT, and CB - I’m good with BPA from that group, and there’s some good options there. This is a crazy-deep WR group… EDIT - No way in hell we were going $17/year for AA. Good for him, and good for us. I like where we are right now, time to move on to the draft…
  11. Let that be a fucking lesson… Cutting Jimmie Ward would save $3.8MM this year so there’s a little more available if you want to upgrade at more of a center fielder type than a close-to-the line guy. I’m not as down on Pitre as a lot of people, I think if you can put him in a hybrid LB/safety role he can be a playmaker. Cutting Robert Woods adds $5.5MM to that total, so if you want to upgrade Ward there’s $9.3MM available on top of the $21.55 listed above. If you cut Woods you probably want to draft a WR in the first three rounds, which I’d like to do regardless….
  12. Everything worked fine for me with Command Line….
  13. This seems like a good option to me, provided a WR/DB they really like doesn’t unexpectedly fall to 23. I really like the way Sainristil plays, would be a good option for late 2nd round…
  14. Yeah I would expect at least one in the draft to push for Woods’ roster spot, if nothing else to free up $5MM for Nico’s extension…
  15. Pop Muzik…
  16. He has the ability now to sign another FA deal still in his prime with a salary cap that’s God knows how much higher than today. Texans manage to keep a big salary completely within CJ’s rookie deal. I love this shit….
  17. I’ll bet you any amount of money you want to wager that the next WR you pick in the first round won’t put up almost 6,000 yards their first four seasons in the league…. My dad is younger than Bo Nix…
  18. So $5.2-$6.0MM and a 7th rounder for a one-year deal; I can live with that. Pick up a RB in the draft and hope that Dameon Pierce is more productive in Year 2 in the system, and that’s a solid RB core. Still would like to sign/draft a potential starter at G or C….
  19. Didn’t we do this shit last year? Lots of talent still out there, and as much as I wanted Saquon I wouldn’t have gone as high as Philly did for him…
  20. Fewer….
  21. Hopefully more depth/rotation but we’ll see. All of the smoke seems to be around us and Wilkins, in which case it seems likely Greenard is gone and we address the other DE slot in the draft. I do like the idea of putting a badass next to Anderson rather than across from him but we’ll see very soon..
  22. M
  23. Because he’s only on year 3 of his rookie deal, fat aggy offers no cap savings if cut, so might as well keep him on the roster and see if the light goes on. I’m not holding my breath…
  24. Lot of depth/rotation signings today - Desmond King, Eric Murray, Khalil Davis, and lifetime Longhorn Kris Boyd. Good to get some depth pieces out of the way before Monday. Only saw details on King; $1.8MM base/$2.2MM max, and his deal has to be the biggest of the four…
