A poor man's JaMarcus Russell.

Seahawks owner has apparently died.

The Raiders have had some conversations about potentially trading him," Rapoport reported on The Aftermath. "My understanding is that they have asked for a first-round pick in exchange for Amari Cooper.
Maybe two seasons ago, now they'd be lucky to get a fourth.
I don't know, I'd like to see what an actual above-average QB would make of him.
How is it that Breida, who is built like a 16 year old, always seems to be fine with his injury scares.
WE WANT MORRIS.
I done fucked up.
I signed up for a free trial to gamepass (I think my 7th free trial this season) so I could take a shit and keep watching Redzone.
The very next morning they charged me and so far they're refusing to cancel and refund it
I just bought the cheap game pass. Like £40 for red zone and all the games on demand but not live.
I would have done that had I thought the unlimited free trials was golden.
Anyone mentioned Nick Bosa leaving Ohio state? @Dan
Big loss for Ohio state that. Obviously doesn't at all trust the medical staff at the university not to rush him back onto the field.
Yeah, saw that on the way home. That's the top two players in this draft already declared. It's a bit rubbish as an Ohio State fan, but what does he have left to prove? He's going #1 almost regardless of what happens, so why risk coming back & getting hurt?
Exactly this. Unless Justin Herbert / Will Grier comes out as a complete stud in the draft process and a QB needy team are at the top he's going right up there. Ed Oliver doesn't look like as much of a NFL player in stature at the moment, Bosa is huge and lean where as Oliver I reckon there's a good bit of development in stature available - particularly after being at a relatively 'small' school in Houston.
Shame for College Football as it probably dents Ohio State's chances of taking down Bama. Bosa smashing Tua early in the game was probably their best shot if they meet.
Listening to a podcast at the minute & one of the guys was at the Houston game this week & reckons Ed is 6ft 1in, 275lbs. That’s obviously small, but he’s so strong, so athletic & so good that I don’t think it’s going to make a difference. He’s the second best player in the class regardless of who else declares, but he might end up in the 5-10 range if teams do get a bit scared by his size.
This draft has the potential to be disgusting if you need a defensive lineman or a tight end. All the QBs have looked a bit shaky other than Herbert, so we could end up with Dwayne Haskins taking a chance & declaring now to avoid the Tua/Fromm/Eason class.
Cardinals.
Fucking hell.
Rosen throwing a pick 6 on his first throw, lol.
Mike McCoy needs to be sacked for hating David Johnson.
Emmanuel Sanders > Rosen.
This is deeply crap from Rosen.
His reads are so bad.
Aikman is being kind because Rosen went to the same college as him.
I thought the Cardinals might punt Mike McCoy after this but they could fire any combination of their coaches.
Deary me. This is embarrassing.
Since I started paying attention to the NFL I don't think I've seen a starter have as bad a time as Rosen is having right now.
If this game was being contended between a couple of under eleven sides someone would have called a halt to it out of sympathy for the Cardinals.
Rosen’s always been vulnerable to giving up the ball on blindside pressure, but he was unlucky with the pick sixes - one was a tip & J.J. Nelson just stopped on his slant on the second. Not seen his full performance, but he’s better than his stat line in this one.
I didn't realise the Cardinals were that bad but I assume they're chronic if they're getting a bumming off Denver.
No he wasn’t, the safety had come down in man over Larry, was trying to go round Nelson to cover Fitz & JJ just froze as he thought he was going to have to take a hit.
Rosen probably didn’t read the late movement, but if Nelson runs his route like he’s meant to he’s at least going to challenge for the ball & stop it being picked off.

Anyway, apparently Rihanna turned down the SuperBowl half-time show in support of Kaepernick, so now it’s fucking Maroon 5
Maroon 5 were announced weeks ago.
Their live execution would make a good halftime show purely for that fucking Hyundai ad during the World Cup.

Hyde traded to the Jags for a fifth round (why is Chubb claimed in every fucking fantasy league I'm in?) and Mike McCoy (Falcons OC) has indeed been fired.
Cards will instantly be about 5 times better if they get someone in who doesn't hate David Johnson.
My work league for some reason has just allowed me to add Chubb and drop Royce Freeman. Fuck it I'll go with it.
After I did that I've broken the news in the whatsapp group like a true troll. I'll wait for them to figure that out.
Lynch is also out for a month and Doug Martin is unavailable in the only league I'm desperate for RBs because some nonce is hoarding everyone.
Is Hyde likely to play on Sunday? I'm starting Yeldon in one league but don't want to bother if it's some sickening committee.
Well I didn’t see that coming, but
It’s a big shit on Fournette & Yeldon though. Not sure why they felt they needed to make that move when Yeldon has been productive & Charles is an adequate backup.
Seems he wont be active and if he is he'll get fuck all work as he doesn't know the playbook obviously.
It's a strange trade because he wont play this week and Fournette is meant to be back after their bye. So a 5th rounder and a hefty cap amount for what could be a 1 game and done thing.
Only reason I can think is that they don't trust Fournette to come back when he is expected. Or they don't think he'll stay back when he does. Big vote of no confidence on Yeldon though.
Anyone know of somewhere near the stadium that wont be jammed with traffic? My Mum is working in London tomorrow so offered to give me a lift and pick me up after.
Alabama game going the same way as usual @Foe
EDIT: Ohio State

Pryor has been released and Burfict has been fined $112k for various dirty hits against the Steelers.
Doesn’t sound good for Melvin today. Supposedly pulled up after a 30 yard sprint in the warm up.
I’ll be keeping an eye on Harold Landry & Derwin James today, especially now there’s no Melvin.
I just hope it’s more competitive than last week.
Fucking hell, I think I'd kneel if I had to hear that national anthem before every game. God awful.
Ours or theirs?
One thing I noticed on that opening drive was that the Chargers put a lot of players at the line of scrimmage. Not sure if that’s down to the formations the Titans were in, as they were quite tightly packed, or if it’s just the way the run their defence, but I guess that’ll become clearer as the game goes on.
Derwin narrowly missing the breakup on the Dion Lewis catch but he’s been right at the line almost every play so far.
EDIT: Another blowout then
Yeah, they’ve both been flops, but even worse than that they’ve been decent enough flops that they might get second deals & continue to hold their teams back, but take up far more cap.
Yeah, there’s probably a case to be made that Dak might be in that territory as well. Looks like Miami might be about to give Tannehill the boot though, or else he’d be another.
Dak was a 4th rounder though so he's cheap as fuck. You've got to use those first 4-5 years to build a team capable of winning with the extra cap space. Jags gave it a go last year, but with bortles salary jumping they let the wideouts walk. The Browns really should be throwing money in free agency this year to build around baker.
