NFL (since 2016)

Post crystal falace »

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

Rodgers to Denver sounds very close. Some very good quarterbacks (and derek carr) in that division! Hopefully another team out of the QB market in the draft and justin fields to the Patriots is one step closer!

Looks like someone can have him for $30 million per year for the next two years. That is cheap for a team a QB shy of a SB run.

"You never know, of course. But I'd be very surprised if Rodgers is not Green Bay's QB next season. I just can't see him moving. But, then again, I did say that about Brady!"

"Rodgers looks like the sort of geezer who, when given a million pounds would complain about how heavy it is."

"It is difficult to know what Rodgers might be angling for at Green Bay as the roster is largely sorted. They dont have high draft picks but, from what I have read, this draft is stacked is good receivers who probably won't drop it Equinemous St Brown style when it really matters. If it is just money he needs to have a good think about that."

"Timing is everything - and, for that reason, don't believe a single word of the Aaron Rodgers shite for the time being. I'm sure these 'sources' around him, leaking the stories, are his agents. He's been trying to agree a contract extension and has, for far, failed to get the deal he wants. Leak a story about moving on, on draft day (when picks and NFL futures get traded), and you'll do at least one of two things: a) Get a sense of the market value for what remains of your career. b) Panic your franchise into a better deal for you. My guess is Rodgers' agent has gambled on a final big pay day, and while he's at it, he's sending a message to Green Bay to draft the players their QB wants around him - or he might leave. Timing is everything."

"I suppose with Cam Newton tied to a cheapo 1 year deal it makes sense but it is not often a team will have two MVP QBs on their roster. Bellichick is going for a do it this year with his free agent splurge. Hey, it worked for the Bucs."

"there's plenty who could afford him, but he will want to join a team with potential. we'd be ideal for him, but as I said the packers will want a ridiculous return. patriots must be scheming in the shadows"

The Patriots.? That's the type of plan straight out of the Emperor Belichick book. That would be impressive.!

Rodgers going to the Bears would be like Kane coming to us.! Never will happen. But would be fun. Just to see the fan base explode.

"knowing how slippery belichik is, I wouldn't be surprised if he's engineered a move for him. i can't see the 49ers going there given their opportunity to take a potentially great young QB for the future"

"we'd be interested but I can't see at this late stage how a trade could be structured that wouldn't rape our eight picks. to let him go, they'd want a ridiculous deal so they can fuck off. let the bears have him"

With a few hours before the draft kicks off. Rumours coming out of Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers has told management that he ain't coming back. Anyone looking for a MVP QB.?

That would be a proper pair of TEs. Any side would struggle to cover those two.

"Completely agree with all of that except the 'not signing with the Fish' bit. For my money, Gesicki is the most underrated TE in the league, and being able to line up 2 TE formations with Pitts and Gesicki will help Tua a lot IMO."

"So the Jets, for example, HAVE to take QB Wilson at #2 now that they've ditched Darnold. But while Wilson is an excellent QB prospect, he isn't ready for the NFL immediately in quite the same way that Penei Sewell is ready. Sewell could have started at tackle, or guard, for most NFL sides last season - let alone this year. It's probably the same with Pitts at TE. Rationally speaking, they might be the two best players in this draft - even above the so-called 'stud' QB Lawrence (who does look very good). Sides just spend, spend, spend on the eternal search for a stand-out QB. And most, including the Jets, get it wrong too often."

"Isaac, Pitts is a beast - one of the best TEs for years - and I'd be surprised if he does not go in the top eight picks. Possibly top five. Like Sewell, he looks like a nailed-on 'best on the board' pick behind the usual rush to over-value QBs. I'm just fingers-crossed he doesn't sign with the Fish! If drafting sides were rational, Sewell and Pitts would be top three. But so many sides with high picks now need QBs. I'd be amazed if five out of the first eight picks are not QBs (Jags, Jets, 49ers, Broncos and Bears). Yet you just know that 5 out of the best 8 players are NOT QBs. At least one side, likely two, will over-reach on a QB again, as in previous years. I'm just hoping it's not the Jets!"

"sad to hear that one of my favourite non skins defenders, Steve Mcmichael has been struck down with Lou Gehrig's disease. he's dealing with it in his usual brave, humorous way but it's sad seeing the big man struggling https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8AHIDOriDI for the skins in the draft, I don't expect us to move up so I'll be happy with a LB of OT in the first round (Owusu Koramoah, Zaven Collins or Christian Darrisaw), a TE or QB in round two (Teddy Tremble or Davis Mills) and a S in round 3 (Hamsah Nasirildeen). after that it will be best player available"

No mention of the TE Pitt? I would love (LOVE) him to still be on the board when Miami pick at 6.

Chief's trade their first round pick (31st). To the Ravens for Orlando Brown.! Now no one is going to lay a glove on Mahomes.
