Has to be GB and Chicago.
Has to be GB and Chicago.
He’s gone to Minnesota.
Green Bay will never give up on Mason Crosby.
They should have a long time ago.
Surprised the Bears didn't attempt to kidnap him.
I hope he smashes it.
Probably more one for @Foe
No idea who the kid is but I love that Tate Martell threw a hissy fit because he’d have to compete for the job at Ohio State, transferred to Miami & then lost out to a freshman
Fuck that guy.
Christ alive. Going to be the most successful high school quaterback to completely bomb at college.Originally Posted by Dan

Shame really as he did look pretty damned good in qb1.
Wonder if that smoking hot gf of his will leave him now
He comes across as a right dickhead on QB1.
The sister was some bit of biscuit. You always got the feeling she wanted to get too close banjo style though.
You hate to see it.
Dak Prescott has apparently knocked back thirty million a year and is holding out for forty.
He does realise that the franchise tag exists, right? He'd need an elite season this year to justfy more than $30m, and if he keeps dicking them about they'd probably just tag him & see if he can do it again.
There's no way they can keep Dak, Zeke, Cooper, Byron Jones & Jaylon Smith. They'd take up about half of the cap between them & they also have half their O-Line on $10m a year, so they'd pretty much have to cut their entire roster & fill it up with rookies & veteran minimum guys to get under the cap.
EDIT: Let's say the 2020 cap is $200m...
Zeke $15m
Dak $35m
Cooper $20m
Jaylon $17m
Byron $18m
They already have:
Lawrence $21m cap hit in 2020
Zack Martin $15m
Tyron Smith $13.5m
Travis Frederick $12m
Tyrone Crawford $9m (1000% getting cut to save $8m)
Cameron Fleming $5.25m (they'd save $4.5m by cutting him)
Leighton Vander Esch $3.25m
Just over $170m in cap space on ten roster spots

Still working my way through the preseason games:

Good to see him taking it in stride & knuckling down to prove he deserves the spot like a true pro.
What a guy.
Did I see him saying something about now looking to go to Texas A&M? Or was that before he went to Miami?
We talkin Miami Hurricanes football in here?!!?!?!? How nice.
Martell's sister is a fuckin herb.
I forgot what thread I was in there, saw "Hurricanes football" and thought of this:
If I remember rightly that was where he first committed, before he de-committed to go to Ohio State, where he decided to transfer when Justin Fields arrived, and now we're here. He's going to be the greatest high school QB to ever serve you at McDonalds in three years time.
Only if the new kid doesn't come in and do the fries better than him.
He'll transfer to Burger King.
Forgot preseason week 2 starts tonight, so just running through a couple more week 1 games:

EDIT: Jesus, Colts second year WR Daurice Fountain has apparently broken & dislocated his left ankle. Could hear him screaming from the sidelineSounds like he'd been crushing it in camp as well, so hopefully he'll be able to come back & play next season.

Our nickel corner, Tavon Young could miss the entire year with a neck injury
A Raven injured? I refuse to believe it.
A defender too.
What are the odds?
Not content with just having college players play for free, the Louisiana Raging Cajuns are now ‘strongly encouraging’ all players to pay at least $50 to their athletic foundations booster fund to ‘show their gratitude’
No idea if that link actually works or not, I’m on my phone trying to link from the ESPN app.

Wade had no TD's but came close.
The move to make three guys miss at once was pretty impressive. The one last week wasn’t much more than just running through a huge hole, but this was an actual quality play.
He’s still going to struggle to make the roster, but if they can trade McCoy he’s got a shot at getting there as the fourth guy.
Someone pointed out in the comments that he's still very Rugby in his style though because if he ran right there was only 1 defender by two Bills' blockers. Would have likely been a TD had he cut that way instead of the open space.
Laundry Jones is the first XFL signee.
Rashan Gary is looking like a waste of time already. Good job they'd already signed the Smiths.
How do I get the proper NFL.com homepage instead of this constant gamepass shite and NFL UK bollocks?
Cedric Benson is dead.

Speaking of Gamepass my brother in law tells me I can use his Gamepass whenever I like as it doesn't restrict multiple users so I'm going to get all the Flacco I want this season.
Sorry for your troubles.
Appreciated.
The pain you are to experience will be worse than you can imagine.
I have paid money to watch Gary Caldwell play football, so this can only be so bad.
I didn't realise that you were that much of a deviant.
I dunno if I said on here that I had a Broncos jersey on for some event (maybe the wrasslin) and a guy tried to call me out as a fairweather. I told him I'd been watching since Denver had Jake the Snake, who this guy had never even heard of.
Conversation won.
For a second I genuinely wondered if Jake Roberts had played for the Broncos at any time in his life.
That'd be amazing to be fair.
D'Ernest Johnson looked pretty good for the Browns this week - he & Hilliard should be perfectly adequate depth behind Nick Chubb for the first half of the year. Deon Cain showing up on the other side too. Hopefully he'll slowly reel in Funchess over the course of the season
Benson being in the news reminded me of this game. That Buffs team
Deon cain must have had some of the field issues because he was pretty prominent in college too.
Hopefully he holds life together. Also interesting seeing Jeremy mcnichols get a td at the titans. Maybe walking out on the bucs in hard knocks wasn't career suicide.
I don’t remember there being any huge character issues with him, although having just checked he did fail a drug test in 2015. I think it was more just him being inconsistent & not having the production to back up the talent.
Think Kelvin Harmon this year. He’s another’s one who will outperform their draft slot.
Just catching up with episode two of 'The Jonathan Abram Show featuring the Oakland Raiders', and it was pretty nice to see a few of the lesser known rookies getting some screen time. I did also enjoy Richie Incognito preaching non-violence as someone who recently threatened to shoot up a funeral home.
Abram is going to be a captain on that team by next season though. He's exactly what they need.
Just watching Saints/Chargers, and you know what? Taysom Hill has actually played pretty well - obviously all the usual stuff is there with his legs, but he's been more accurate than usual as a passer. Devine Ozigbo still shows promise despite a fumble where he nearly got hit out of the stadium by Denzel Perryman as he slipped, and Deonte Harris continues to show value as a returner. We look like we'll be hard to run on again this year, even without Sheldon Rankins, but it'll really depend on how well the secondary holds up around Lattimore & Vonn Bell.
As for the Chargers, it's good to see Detrez Newsome still running hard after showing well in the preseason last year, although he almost certainly still won't make the 53. Their second & third string dudes on defence were just blowing guys up all through the game as well, so I feel like they'll probably still be alright without Derwin. Jerry Tillery made Nick Easton look invisible for a sack, which is a great sign for them - he could be exactly what they need at DT, so it wouldn't be at all surprising if he starts early.
XFL have revealed their team names...

Deebo played well too - I was surprised how fast he looked on the end around, as I didn't really see that type of acceleration on his college tape, even though he broke off multiple kick return TDs etc. Also, Cooper Rush peppered the shit out of Blake Jarwin. I can't see how he isn't better than Jason Witten at this point in time.
Drew Lock not looking particularly good, a few simple completions sabotaged by bad ball placement. Nevermind, that was actually Kevin Hogan
